Lincoln warned us, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The USA today is dangerously divided. Democrats, Republicans, or Independents, what could help us heal our great nation?

The irony is layers deep. The world's richest billionaire wants to buy Twitter so he alone can decide what speech should qualify as free.

Debt hawks who "fix" the economy by adding a trillion a year in new deficits by slashing revenues. Stock market's up because Donnie gave the ruling oligarchs boatloads of cash to buy their own stocks back. Welfare for the rich supported by austerity for the poor.

The truth is Trump's done nothing to help anyone but the rich who got his massive tax cut. Unemployment numbers have been on a straight line up since Obama turned the corner on Bush's Great Recession in 2010.

Please read and share this 2-minute read, "Why Electing a Dem Elite is Suicide". It explains why, in the face of the climate catastrophe, we must elect a true progressive. Then vote for a real progressive.
I'd appreciate your applause for it.

@grantstern
Gee, their "guy," tried to overthrow democracy with a bloody coup, stole some of our most sensitive secrets, and delivered on none of his promises. Could that be the problem with re-electing him?
@TonyHussein4
No, I don't want one; I want four Trump Prosecutions, one for the misuse of money to Stormy Daniels, one for the attempt to cheat in Georgia's election, one for the treasonous use of top-secret documents, and one for organizing the Jan. 6th attempted coup.

That's fine, Hannity. You can choose to live in squalor, and we can put construction workers to better use in a Green New Deal & rebuilding all our crumbling infrastructure.
@Atheist_Trooper
Think of all the reasons why you are sure the God/s of other religions are man-made fabrications, then explain why those same objections don't apply to the deity you worship. Bear in mind that any ad-hoc rationalizations work just as well for the rest of the pantheon.
@MysterySolvent
I want to steer clear of smear politics. So I'll note that Ted Cruz must be incredibly disciplined to praise and worship the man who shamed his wife, his children, and even said his father was behind the JFK assassination.
@SethAbramson
Just the fact that Trump & Barr both lied when they claimed the report was a "Complete and total exoneration" was huge. Couple that with the fact Mueller expected Congress to do their duty & hole impeachment inquiry.

Trump gave billionaires like Jamie Dimon and himself yet another giant tax break while increasing taxes on the middle class. Small wonder the CEO loves Trump.
@DWPippy
The utterly tacky ostentatiousness nauseates me, Teaching his child to celebrate the destruction of an endangered animal, the king of beasts. It typifies his desire to identify all that is holy, and trump it.
@siano2020
It's difficult to conclude otherwise. Kentucky is deep red and abjectly impoverished. GOP trickle-down is a wretched failure. Owsley County, KY is the food stamp capital of the USA.

Thanks for this Tweet, Scott. Not only did it give me a hearty laugh, but it also recalibrated my understanding of how far one can sink into Freudian projection. Keep digging in your race to the bottom.

You're either extremely ill-informed of a shill for the establishment DNC It was Bernie who listened and promised help to BLM. It was DNC policy to listen to them, but offer them NOthING in policy changes. Look it up.

The MAGA GOP can't stand people who tell the truth.
@rjeskow
@BernieSanders
@SenWarren
I trust Bernie to remain true to his rhetoric because he has over his 30 years of political activity. I worry Warren may be the DNC plant to head off Bernie and keep 3rd-Way Neoliberalism pushing welfare only for the rich.
@DerekCressman
It was not a scam. Scams are deliberately designed to be hard to spot. This was a transparent money grab by the oligarchy. The message is they plan to take it all, and jail or kill anyone trying to stop them.
For instance, I'm an Indy. I think R's are right about controlling our borders. Nations must know who's on first. D's are right about embracing diversity. Regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation, all humans deserve equal protection under the law.
@Kokomothegreat
Trump's pathological lying is getting worse. He now is unaware of the comical contradiction when he states that he said something then denies he said it all ion the same sentence!
@mmpadellan
@evalinareed
I can remember that, when being deposed under oath, it's wise to answer, "I don't remember the exact date," when asked for specifics of long-past events. If you're innocent, you don't want to go to jail for perjury because you misremembered some remote date.
@JonRiley7
Agreed, but advocating violence and murder has NEVER had 1st-Amendment protection. It's tantamount to yelling fire in a crowded theater. That applies to Alex Jones trying to get Mueller shot.

#ImpeachmentHearingsNow
. When all this is in the open, let GOPer sycophants vote to endorse all Trump's high crimes and misdemeanors. Force them to go on the record saying lawlessness belongs in the highest office in our land.
@GOPLeader
They apparently had already read it, took time to decipher the obscure portions in 18th-century wording, & remembered its meaning. Sadly, GOPers seem to have omitted the part about understanding and remembering. You went to work using it as toilet paper.
@realDonaldTrump
You are the true enemy of the people, and just like your mentor, Adolph, you hate an independent press because they tell the fetid, stinking truth about you,
The climate crisis is alive and well. Boston hit our all-time record high for July 3 with a temperature of 100°F. The cold front that broke that heatwave also plunged us to an all-time record low of 55°F that same evening.

Someone today posted the question, "Should the USA continue to be the world police? Not till we learn to do the job fairly with our own people!
@DrPresage
One has to wonder what the plan was if this case went to court and she was called to testify. Did the lead attorney for Trump think the defendant's counsel would not investigate his star witness' background, or was winning in court never part of the plan?
