On the Stephanie Miller show this AM they were talking about why Warren seems to be taking off

and breaking away from the pack. They said she is kind of in the sweet spot between Biden (a bit too moderate for many) and Sanders (a bit too Progressive).

I think that is a good analysis.

Trump is so despised, I predict a flood of October surprises next year

The entire Manhattan sewer system content will hit the fan.

My response to someone saying Trump is doing awesome on a FB thread

Which of these would you describe as "Doing well"? His averaging fewer jobs per month than either of Obama's terms, less economic growth than Obama, our trade deficit hitting record highs with his ill conceived trade war which is devastating farmers and has him below water in states like Iowa and barely hanging on in deep red farm states like Nebraska. The deficit which was coming down under Obama is now skyrocketing because of his ill conceived tax cuts to the very wealthy, his absolute failure with North Korea, a list of scandals a mile long including the Trump Foundation ordered to shut down because of charity fraud. Stealing from children's cancer charity??? Wow! This is a guy who inherited hundreds of millions from his father. He lost over a billion of that inherited money in a ten year period putting him at the top of the list as the BIGGEST LOSER in the entire country for that ten years and American banks still won't loan to him. The list of failed businesses is a mile long. He also would be worth A LOT more if he had taken all that inheritance money and invested it in index funds and left it alone. So he is pathetic with money and as Reagan's budget director has said over and over "He's an economic ignoramus!" I almost forgot that most economists are now predicting a recession by next year helped on by his failed trade war. He is a charlatan who had he not inherited so much from his Dad would be nothing more than Archie Bunker selling Amway.

Note: I like to use Reagan's budget director when arguing with Republicans. They don't know how to deal with that.

Florida city commissioner confronts deputy at awards ceremony over arrest

Wow! This is epic!

Snip: You probably don't remember me. But you're the police officer who falsely arrested me four years ago," Gelin says in a video obtained by NBC Miami. "You lied on the police report. I believe you are a rogue police officer, you're a bad police officer and you don't deserve to be here."

Please flood this lame mayor's office with phone calls. She was absolutely pathetic here! Ph: (954) 597-3460

Her email: Michelle.Gomez@tamarac.org

Pelosi: "I moved on him like a bitch. I didn't even ask, I just started impeaching."

Pelosi: "I moved on him like a bitch. I didn't even ask, I just started impeaching. And when you're the speaker of the house they just let you do it!".

Trump Lashes Out at Whistleblower

Love the part about them hiding the transcripts on a private server and bringing up Hillary!

Interesting, I have 11 Facebook friends who like Biden and 53 who like Warren

Here are some other numbers:

57 who like Bernie Sanders
20 who like Beto (I have a lot of family in Texas)
9 who like Kamala Harris
5 who like Pete Buttigieg
12 who like Cory Booker


16 friends who like Trump (I may be clearing most of them out now that I know this. This number is somewhat low because I have unfriended all the blatant Trump supporters. Those that remain must be low key about it.)
32 who like Hillary Clinton
74 who like Obama


Note that I have a lot of friends who are artists, writers and teachers who tend to be very liberal.

I bet plenty more impeachable offenses will be disclosed

Trump is so corrupt and has so little self control I have a hard time believing more won't show up in the next 14 months.

I caught a mouse with a live trap and was letting the mouse go near a walking trail in the desert

This elderly lady was looking at the contraption wondering what it was so I told her I had let a mouse go. The stupid lady frowned and said pretty loudly "You should have killed it!"

I wish I had told her to "Fuck off!"
