THE KKK President and Prince of Darkness Senate Majority Leader are Enemies of the People and lead an Assembly of Traitors
Over the last two and a half days, the KKK Popular Vote Loser Individual One President has clowned around with the strongman of Russia, saying in a joking fashion not to meddle with our election and praising how he handles the press in Russia. He has shaken hands with the person most likely responsible for the death of an American Journalist and stood next to the wannabe dictator of Turkey. He is still trying to enable the dictator and mass murderer of North Korea and offered to shake his hand at the DMZ separating the two Koreas. Finally, he has bent over to the Chinese, saying United States firms can sell technology to Huawei, a company that maybe (probably) involved in cyber espionage.
Along with his ally in the Senate (the Majority Leader-Prince of Darkness-Enemy of the People) Mitch McConnell who is blocking all attempts to ensure election security, there should be no doubt that the Republican leadership is nothing but an ASSEMBLAGE OF TRAITORS that need to be voted out in November 2020 and prosecuted on January 21, 2001.

Commentators misinterpret what Democrats say last night.
I was just listening to MSNBC and the commentators like Chris Jansing seemed to think that the Democrats advocate giving free health insurance to illegal aliens. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE CANDIDATES THAT SPOKE ON THIS SAID LAST NIGHT. THEY SAID THEY SHOULD HAVE ACCESS BUT THEY PAY FOR IT. The Democrats better get out in front of this on this and the issue of whether illegals crossing the border should be criminally prosecuted. HERE IS A NEWS FLASH: UNLESS THERE IS AN EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE, THEY SHOULD BE. DON'T GIVE THE KKK PRESIDENT AN OPENING.
Some more perspective on the debates from the last two days:
Some more perspective on the debates from the last two days:
1) Most candidates want to build on Obamacare with a Public Option not do Medicare for All.
2) Making crossing the border illegally a civil rather than criminal offense is NOT going to fly well even with legal immigrants who did everything right in entering the country.
3) Giving illegal immigrants access to health care that they pay for makes sense for the reasons the candidates said but they will need to explain it quicker for the people who will have a knee jerk negative reaction.

Debate Part Two
Was at the Tempe Harkins for a second night. It was a Harris, Yang, and Sanders crowd. I think the people that presented the best were Harris, Buttigieg, Bennett (who was the only one out of 20 to get the McConnell question right, and Gillibrand. Hickenlooper, Biden (who accomplished his mission by not gaffing), and Sanders were respectable. I would have liked to have heard more from Yang. Willamson surprisingly gave some interesting answers. Swallwell, with his idiotic attacks on Biden and Sanders (it was funny seeing both of them give him an FU stare in unison) as well as his attacks on Buttigieg, is the candidate that should be kicked off the island.
Today's Supreme Court Rulings
Two thoughts on today's Supreme Court rulings regarding the census and partisan gerrymandering.
First, it is not every day the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court accuses the Executive Branch of lying about their reasons for bringing on a case (the Census question in this instance). Good job on throwing it back to the lower courts.
Second, the gerrymandering decisions show that Democrats need to take matters into their own hands and not take any local, state, or national office seat for granted.
What to do with the Enemy of the People?
One of the few weaknesses shown by the candidates last night was their inability to answer what to do with legislation if Mitch McConnell is still Senate Majority Leader. Now De Blasio and Ryan did say that the Democrats need to take their working-class message to the Red States (DUH) but most did not repeatedly hammer on the obvious: THERE NEEDS TO BE A DEMOCRATIC SENATE WITH AN END TO THE FILIBUSTER ON MOST MATTERS. Some candidates like Klobuchar, Inslee, and Castro alluded to this but no one really brought that home.

The first debate among the Democrats tonight
Watched the debate tonight, sponsored by the Maricopa County Democratic Party, at the Harkins Theaters at Tempe Marketplace. The attending crowd, was pretty much a Warren crowd although they seemed to like everything everyone said. The first group of "impartial moderators" seemed to favor Warren too and gave her most of the attention the first half of the debate. She did well but the other candidates had views and opinions to offer as well. Fortunately, the second group (Maddows and Todd) seemed to even things out.
All the candidates gave good and thoughtful responses with some nice zingers here and there. The best performers in terms of style were probably Castro, Booker, Ryan, and DeBlasio although De Blasio was a rude prima donna and Ryan looked like an angry white guy when he was not giving answers. In terms of substance, it would have to be Warren, Kloubacher, Inslee, O' Rourke, and Delaney although surprisingly O'Rourke always seemed to need to warm up before finishing strong at every response he gave. Gabbard gave good answers but appeared too rehearsed.
Overall, no one did anything that would kick them out of the sandbox tomorrow.
Looking forward to tomorrow evening. Stay Tuned.

Lindsey Graham, like all the KKK, endorsed candidate's/Individual One's enablers is not a man and has lost his soul. Reelection is not worth giving up what makes a human being a human being by saying the Popular Vote Losers denial about being accused of raping a 23rd woman was good enough for him. As commentators are saying on CNN and MSNBC, the people have to not let this become just another casual story and express the outrage and condemn this repulsive behavior for what it is: sexual assault that requires investigation and if necessary prosecution.

Even though the Democrats should be subpoenaing individuals like Robert Mueller and asking courts to expedite rulings (they are) on the President's obstructions, there is actually something to consider about dragging this out to the actual election season. In a normal Presidency, being under an impeachment cloud with the accusations of obstruction, running for reelection would be a death knell. People need to decide what country they want to live in.
Because of this countries stupidity towards Iran (pulling out of the nuclear deal, restoring and upping economic sanctions, and listening to the same hardliners that put us in the quagmire with Iraq), we lack credibility when the Iranians may have done their own stupid acts like mining the waters that hit tankers and shooting down a drone in "disputed" air space. If ever there is a time for both sides to go to their corners, take a deep breath and do a reset, this is it.

When the 2016 Popular Vote Loser gives a White Nationalist demagogic rendition of Triumph of the Will to his devoted base, the media needs to remind these individuals that he has lied over 10,000 times, has not improved the economy on his own, has not given them health care that is better and cheaper than Obamacare, has not produced infrastructure, has not concluded better trade deals (the one with Canada and Mexico is largely what would have been in TPP if the administration had stayed in it), and has made us the laughingstock and dread of the civilized and democratic world.

It is cool that the polls show Democratic Presidential Candidates doing well against the 2016 Popular Vote Loser. Two lessons to remember. One, these polls this early in the election cycle do not mean anything. Second, it is important to remember as President Gore and President Hillary Clinton would advise, that this election will be won in the electoral college, not the popular vote. Democrats need to stay active and turnout like there literally will be no tomorrow.
