The plan all along is keep as many voters as ignorant as possible. Easier to spread lies, propaganda, empty pocket books and want a strongman to save them. Now they are trying to destroy public schools and set up segregated private schools😱😱

My approach. I voted in Biden who made the necessary appointments. I am going to trust them to defend us here and in Space. And all I can add is thrilled Trump is not in charge. I’m going to make guacamole now and pour a nice drink.

@LeaderMcConnell
when did Trump or your wife go to any train derailment sights even when there were deaths and toxic spills. Why did you vote to stop Obama safety regulations. Your wife stood behind Trump thrilled the law was overturned. We remember. U need a competency test?
Disgusting. What about the safety of women and the safety of children and adults killed by guns. Not a damn word. This report reeks of the utmost of selfishness. He too is no protector of people’s rights.

Not enough coverage on FBI agent just arrested and how he could have tainted both the Mueller investigation, Senate Investigation and the leak to Rudy about HC emails that Comey reported a few weeks before election. THIS IS SCANDALOUS and not sure where it goes next.

Anatomy of right wing propaganda:
- Trump aide Stephen Miller creates phony legal organization.
- Miller invents a story to back up a Trump conspiracy theory.
- Coordinating with the GOP House Judiciary, Jim Jordan tweets out the propaganda.
- Trump family claims victory.
If you are not terrified by the Nazi raised arm symbolism at the Qrumpt Rally last night or the Q music watch PBS tonight airing a documentary by Ken Burns about the connection in America & the rise of Nazis and the Holocaust. This is much more abt the threats to ALL OF US now.

is absolutely correct. No one is making excuses for silent Pence. Nor can we count on Pence saying more in public. But we should expect the Press to amplify his voice instead of blowing right through it.
18% JUST 18% trust SCOTUS. If Roberts doesn’t get a grip I don’t know how it can keep its legitimacy. That’s LEO, the Federalist and Billionaires thinking we would allow their purchase of weak & greedy Justices to set our back in time. HELL NO WE WON’T!
