^ Wonderful news. 

By the way as this stupid idea of courting Trump voters is proving, if all the African American voters who voted for Clinton in 2016 voted for Northam, the governors race there would be a walk in the park. Northam has run a shitty campaign. Who the hell is advising him to take off the picture of his black lt. governor running mate from campaign material? These are the assholes who believe courting these racist voters is the answer.

I can't stop looking at Ivanka's Pepto Bismol pants suit. It looks like something Ann Marie would have worn while meeting Donald's parents.

That was not to court racist voters. The Labors’ International Union of North America asked that Fairfax’s photo not be included in the literature that THEY passed out to their members because they did not endorse him due to his criticism of two natural gas pipelines that the union supports. The optics of it are unfortunate but it is what it is.

Thanks. I stand corrected and I appreciate your setting it straight.

Has anyone seen HRC's interview on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah? 

 

It's actually pretty informative, she talks about Russian meddling, that dossier and how her campaign took up the research after a Republican began it as well as as the fact that, at time of taping, Trump still hadn't called/spoken to either the mayor of NYC or the governor of NY about the terror attack.

Apparently there's been another mass shooting, this time in Texas. At least 27 casualties.

This article describes how Mueller likely is circumventing any possibility for a presidential pardon by bringing charges at the state level, not the federal level.

 

Robert Mueller’s Brilliant Strategy for Outmaneuvering Trump Pardons

One of Twitter's former engineer's forewarned the company about bots ahead of time and was ignored.

Wilbur Ross, Trump's Commerce Secretary, retained investments in a shipping company that has ties to Putin and the Kremlin.

He claims that he didn't lie during his confirmation process yet he had these holdings stowed away in an offshore account.

How very telling that after the global financial crisis, Ross led a consortium to bail out failing Cypriot banks-- which are very popular with Russian oligarchs, or rather their money.

 

Oh boy, the corruption is strong with this administration!

This thread sums up so much of the corruption that the media isn't talking about because of the shooting. There is a lot of good stuff happening.
