The fact that youth like you and others like you exist gives me hope that maybe this country can come out of this nightmare able to rebuild. Make no mistake. It’s going to take years to fight our way back (eg. the newly installed judges). I wish you well

Hope that goes with increased medical/psychiatric/rehabilitation services with outreach to these men, not waiting for them to get so bad they may not be able to reach out.

Remember. This is the guy who had to call Dan Quayle to ask if he as VP was allowed to punt on the election results. Dan Quayle - btw, who knew without having to call a lifeline friend.

Nailed it. On the level of sports team bonding w strangers with whom you have nothing else in common. Pounding of chests, trash talk, and having something fun to focus on. Only nastier and more sinister.

We in Phila, esp educators, have long known who Pat Toomey is and has been. Tuesdays With Toomey has been a weekly protest outside his City office with speakers on people’s issues. He is, and has been, a corporate shill.

Don't trust Manafort to try anything while holding out for a pardon. (State charges though?) What gives me comfort is that Robert Mueller's mama didn't raise no fool. Can't imagine Mueller would give Manafort the time of day without getting something BIG in return.
Funniest line today! Trump raged to John Kelly why his generals weren't totally loyal like Hitler's Nazi military leaders. John Kelley responded, "“You do know that they tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off?” Kelly said. 🤣🤣

The phrase "Many people have said..." is going to have to be relegated to the proverbial ash heap for being meaningless, except to evoke snickers.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said over the weekend: “If Republicans were ‘good on the economy,’ the last 3 Democratic Presidents that followed one wouldn’t have had to: Drag us out of recession — Clinton. Enact emergency Recovery aid — Obama. Rescue our economy from freefall — Biden.”

I watched the whole thing, and didn't hear it, probably bc she wouldn't stop spewing invective over your and Ari's voices. You, sir, have actual class and decorum. She showed herself to be a bully who probably felt really powerful about her "performance".

@TheBeatWithAri
Frankly, she embarrassed herself for substituting diatribe for debate/discussion. Her modus operadi I'm sure. While I respect Ari's not wanting to cut her off, no one should be allowed to hijack the program. He should have warned her then cut her mic at next infraction.

While this may be true, I won't credit Omarosa with having anything of note to say. If we give her this, we have to be willing to state that so many other abhorrent positions she's taken also have note. Uh, uh!

I'm appalled & not just at racist ref. His coaches should have known this rule or if it's bogus. They should have pulled him totally supporting him. Johnson's post-win facial & body language said it all. His coaches failed him! Formal objection shld be filed.

I'm not a Pollyanna type person- I'm pretty jaded and know politics is dirty, behind the scenes dirty tricks, but I still can't figure out how it's legally OK for one person to be both candidate and person who's in charge of running the election.

He's prob broke in terms of his past and future legal bills. Of course the term "broke" is relative to who you are and how you've lived.
Those leftovers go to socially useless things, like buying houses to turn into rent-generating slums (Wall Street is fast becoming America's biggest landlord, and single family homes are sold for cash to investment funds instead of families).

I'm starting to use the apt term "American oligarchs" to the increasing class of behind-the-scenes billionaires who are, & for 30-40 years, fomenting replacing rocky democracy w/ sham democracy for their own interests. Gilded Age II w/ its disdain for welfare for regular people.
@RadioFreeTom
Exactly. They hate their lives and get joy by chest bumping each other. They’re not new. They just stayed in their hidey-holes until he encouraged them to act out. They don’t even notice that he’s done nothing to make their financial lives better.

This is also justice - what many don't think about. Freeing the innocent as well as convicting the guilty. The kind of thing people don't consider unless and until it happens to someone they know and care about. Thank you.

So this isn’t a grass roots org. It’s an extremely well funded, professionally driven attack on inclusive beliefs. It’s a top down, mono-theist/racial tyranny. Abusing people’s bigotry is a bonding agent to get their own wants re taxes and wealth met. Don’t be fooled.

Assaulting police with baton weapon, but, hey, he's been 'publicly disgraced' - that's enough... for white people, maybe. Ya want to make sure this doesn't happen again? Give sentences commensurate with the crime.

One way charters bilk School Districts claiming they're public schools too! For example, a student requiring speech& language therapy that costs $3000 may result in the sending school district’s taxpayers spending $20,000 to $30,000 more for that student’s charter tuition.

How dare these judges even pretend that children understand what they're saying. Try asking an educator, doctor, etc. what children understand. They're not just short adults. Cognitive development is a real thing.
