He deleted that tweet. Which might be illegal now, because Presidential statements are mean to be archived.

Yeah, if thatā€™s the biggest violation of the law that heā€™s guilty of, weā€™ll have got away lightly

One of the signs at our rally today said ā€œAs a feminist, I support the following women TOOā€ and listed Melania, Penceā€™s wife, and I forget who the third wife was.

There were a lot of signs like that, actually: showing humanity and decency and reminding everyone that feminism is about equal rights for ALL.

Best remix ever. (Sound helps)

Welcome! We third party pie-in-the-sky moonbats are glad to have you!

Fuck that. They didnā€™t like Obama because heā€™s black. We donā€™t like Trump because heā€™s a fucking moron who actually bankrupted a casino. You could fit the Grand Canyon inside that difference.

Seriouslyā€¦ it takes some major league incompetence to do that. THE BEST!
It is going to take so so so long to undo the damage.

No, sorry, Iā€™m not going to abandon a party because their current leadership are doofuses just to join a party whose current leader is an ignorant doofus, especially one who hangs out with Putin and whose most outspoken defender is the albino rapist Julian Assange.

And their next leaders, and their leaders after that.

Unless Keith Ellison can step in and rescue it, which I donā€™t even know. Itā€™s not looking as good as it was.

I said third party, right? That is still an option.

Itā€™s also funny how peopleā€™s opinions of Assange tend to depend on whether heā€™s attacking their team or the other team.

You havenā€™t noticed this?

I think in the case of Assange itā€™s more people updating opinions as new information becomes available. Sometimes people learn - this is a good thing. My opinion of Assange was always low (the rape charges and his confabulations to dismiss them were always a serious issue and he was always a narcissistic asshole) though I used to think more of Wikileaks. Now that itā€™s clear Wikileaks is used as a front for intelligence agencies to peddle documents to manipulate public opinion and when editorializing Wikileaks lies flagrantly, that respect is gone. Were they peddling docs from the FSB to back Clinton theyā€™d still be just as compromised a source. We know theyā€™re a front for the FSB, so they could just as easily be used by the CIA, MI5, or whoever. Youā€™d have to be a fool to trust them now.

Yes I have noticed itā€™s easy to casually dismiss criticism with accusations of partisanship.

There are better options than Keith Ellisonā€¦which is a good thing, because I could never vote for him. Even if he is now being honest in his repudiation of his former self, ā€œprobably no longer an antisemitic nincompoopā€ is not an especially strong point in his favor. Democrats really have to stop our fascination with candidates who are so easy to portray as deeply flawed, who start on the defensive from day 1.

You understand that Iā€™m talking about Jill Stein, yes?

Okay.

But when he was attacking the neocons a couple years back, didnā€™t it occur to you that this guy just might be amoral, and heā€™s on the same side as you by random chance? I was told Wikileaks was this great resource, sunlight is the best disinfectant, etc, and I was somewhat in agreement, but the rest of me was waiting for the other shoe to drop. It just dropped, and there just may be a third shoe and a fourth shoe to drop. There is no ideology, just chaos.

Somehow I donā€™t think the neoliberals would be against Assange if he werenā€™t attacking their guys. They werenā€™t earlier. I donā€™t think weā€™ve learned anything that we couldnā€™t have easily inferred before.

Such as? Legitimately curious.

Everyone has dirt on them, and can easily be buried in it if they get on the wrong side of the establishment.

Noā€¦ but I do now. I missed that she met with Putin this week, but I still donā€™t think that puts her on par with Donald Trump.
