Democrats need to wise up!

We don’t want to be like the Tea Party with our far left purity contests.

We need to be asking people how they felt about their taxes they are paying.

We need to be asking people how they have liked having their kids on their insurance plans until age 26.

We need to be asking people how they liked not having to worry about preexisting conditions.

We need to be asking people how they have liked being protected from predatory lenders and predatory business scams.

Then we need to instill in the person’s we are conversing with a sense of urgency because those things are on the table for 2021! We also need to tell them that we can only protect those things and have more middle class legislation by voting for Dems in primaries and general elections.

What we need to stop: freaking talking about socialist things. Socialism translates with “boogeyman” to independents. The right has won the framing of ALL socialist arguments. We have failed to frame that conversation. So stop freaking scaring people. Even people who don’t like Trump would vote for him or stay home rather than someone they equate with socialism.

I think Cohen is asking for a pardon

Found a hard drive my ass! He’s sending a message to Trump that he has proof of the worst and he’s gonna spill it if he doesn’t get that pardon!

Barr's Next move: recommend pardons!

I have a feeling Barr didn’t allow Mueller to complete his investigation and threatened to recommend pardons, thus sabotaging the entire thing. Republicans play dirty and we should not put it past him! His next move could still be to recommend pardons. Shutting the whole thing down. If Dems continue to push for the report it will be a moot point.

There is no more Obamacare

This is what right wingers believe. My stepdad just told me my mom’s insurance capped and they have no more coverage. I told him that is impossible because of Obamacare. “There is no more Obamacare,” he said!

So some agent sold them a bogus policy in Texas? Or he doesn’t know what he’s talking about!

That’s how much they hate Obama. They would rather have a cap on their insurance or be denied for a preexisting condition than have anything associated with Obama.

I colored my face once in the 80's

I was picked to be the Virgen de Guadalupe for a parade by our Catholic Church. They dressed me in full virgen garb but my face is very pale. So they applied reddish brown makeup on me to make me look more “India”.

I felt honored to have this role as I rode on a float down the parade route.

Should I now be ashamed?

Democracy In Chains

By Nancy MacLean!

If you want to know their plan which they have been working on for decades read this book! It’s a war against democracy and we are about to lose!!!

EVERY ONE OF US needs to focus and fight our instincts to be divided over peripheral issues. Bernie Sanders needs to read this book and so do all possible 2020 nominees.

And for now:

VOTE AND TAKE FIVE TO TEN PEOPLE WITH YOU! Commit!

What is wrong with a free national ID card?

Other countries have cédulas. Why can’t we?

What if Judge is the hero of the story?

Maybe he purposely jumped on that bed to help Ford get away? Maybe it started as a prank that Kavenough took too far. He wants to talk privately to the FBI.
