Definitely. Not just because of Trump either. Voter suppression laws are here to stay so organizing means finding a way to get around them.

The funny thing is Trump is alleging voter fraud in CA and NY, two states that have been solid blue in presidential elections for decades. Only in TrumpCultLand would anyone be surprised that Hillary won them.

It will be interesting to see the excuses made by Repubs who vote against it.

The truth is that there's plenty of nihilism on both sides and those nihilists will show up to any protest either as provocateurs to make us look bad or because they just want to watch the world burn. I don't approve of Spencer getting punched because the next person who gets punched might just be some innocent person in the wrong place at the wrong time. The person who punched Spencer was very likely from the same anarchist group that broke windows during the march. These are the people who get other people killed. That said, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't watching all the video of Spencer getting clocked set to music: http://www.thefader.com/2017/01/23/richard-spencer-punched-to-music-memes. I'm rather partial to the one set to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On."

I'm not religious by any stretch but I've been enjoying the writing of John Pavlovitz. He's an Evangelical pastor who has put his fellow Evangelicals on blast for exactly the hypocrisy you describe. http://johnpavlovitz.com/

Exactly. If millions voted illegally then let's start some investigations and hearings. We need to arrest these people before the midterms.

Four Trump nominees have cleared committee. I agree that Carson alone isn't worth it but there are others who are more valuable.

For both Sherrod and Liz to vote like that, something's going on.

Ladies and gentlemen, the party of small government! Re: Carson, I don't understand. There's no upside to voting for him unless...I see that Sessions' vote got delayed so I wonder if there was a deal made.

He can get away with it because the Republicans in Congress are every bit as corrupt as he is.

Plus Bernie's up for re-election in 2018. I know that Al Giordano has discussed a primary challenge. If that happens I think you'll see some Dems help out in the background. I know that I'll throw money at the guy. Maybe if Bernie has to focus on Vermont, he'll have less time to screw over the country.

The good thing is that now these shifty tactics of his are out in the spotlight. He made it through the primary with no one holding him responsible for bad votes, his call to primary Obama, his willingness to sabotage out of political purity, etc...but now that he helped bring us here he will never enjoy that kind of honeymoon again.

One of the "I told you so's" we need to keep saying is that experience and knowledge matter. I friend of mine who was raised by a malignant narcissist says that's a very popular tactic. It makes people desperate to please them just out of self preservation.

Yeah. This madness is exhausting.

W was a bad president but not a bad human being. He was more weak than evil. Trump is evil, crazy and incompetent.

Kurt Eichenwald may bring me back to Twitter.

This job will be a non-stop parade of liars because Trump will fire people the moment they make him look foolish.

Everything about Trump is fake. He's the He thinks the entire world is a reality show.

That was true under Obama. It's not true anymore. We're no longer a democracy. The will of the people no longer counts.

I love the fact that people think online petitions still matter.

I like Perez and would be happy to have him in the position but my preferred candidate is Jaime Harrison. He's the head of the South Carolina Dems so he's been in the belly of the beast. I heard an interview with him and was so impressed.

Michael Moore is cut from the same cloth as Bernie Sanders. It's all about the ego.

Yes. I have a number of relatives on the spectrum and their caregivers have expressed the same concern about Barron. Not out of malice but because his behavior is familiar.
