So check your pop-cultural snobbery, says McNamara -- ask yourself again how she got to the stage. As Rachel Maddow said, it was Williamson who pointed out the travesty of baby prisons worse than dog pounds and said we needed to get our moral center back as a nation.

Just sayin'. It made me think again about what I saw.

Just ask Trump. Williamson’s made millions off them. How many children , hell, people have died from being convinced that “ positive thinking cures all disease” and there’s no need for medicines or doctors . She was on CNN last week trashing CDC scientists. No, this woman needs to be exposed; she makes the Democratic Party look ridiculous.

Had to travel through South Carolina to Georgia 2 weeks back. 2 hours from Western NC to Columbia, rural as hell. 8 billboards for Tulsi. Why, This far out, before debates would dems put this much money into Lindsay land? They would not. This is a Jill Stien trick, funded by Corp Kochs. Tell me one thing Stein and Green Party has done to raise hell about trump enviro destruction? Crickets. A fraud. Don't give me she is a vet shit. So am I, but not all vets have the county's best at heart, when cash gets involved, i.e. Tom Cotton, Mike Flynn, Kelly and Lindsay Graham. Those people in rural SC don't even believe Hawaii is a state.
