Politics-What's on your mind?

Kätzchen · 03-26-2019, 08:20 PM

What's on my mind tonight is that it's imperative for American's to dig in for a big fight to regain control of our government again. I just completed two VERY different types of intrusive Census Bureau forms (one online, one in paper form), and it's never been more obvious to me that we need to OCCUPY the living sh*t out of the fascist dictator-wanna-be's in charge of our government. I'm downright angry tonight that the census form in no way shape or form is designed to help allocate funding for social programs or for voting issues or anything useful it was formerly designed to do.

I've got time on my hands and I can see no better way to spend it that to join the ranks of other American's who won't put up with that lying POS in the WH or with the other's that person has appointed to destroy American democracy.

And, that's exactly what I think they are doing: Destroying our country and destroying every single landmark case on the books, so they can take over the country and run it into the ground.

I won't stand by and watch it go down like that.

I'm going to sink my energy into recovering our country and the democratic values that is supposed to support every person in our country, regardless of orientation, color, religious beliefs, etc. I am going to make it count, just like those before us who stood up and did something about it.

What's on my mind tonight is all these talking heads and pundits speculating about the Mueller Report!

Why Rachael Maddow felt the need to interrupt her vacation by jumping out a trout stream and her hip waders to break her neck to get to some TV station in Knoxville so she could broadcast live on air Friday evening has me wondering as well!

I'm not picking on her, others did as well including Lawrence O'Donnell.

Noticing Pete Buttigieg

is being mentioned on msnbc...he's @ 4%..which doesn't sound like a lot but it's amazing considering a few weeks ago nobody outside of Indy knew who he was

Pete Buttigieg is getting a lot of buzz. He made 7 million this weekend and he hasn't officially announced. I think that is around the corner.

Buttigieg raised $7 million in two months, not in two days. And he already announced, back in January.

He hasn’t officially announced his campaign yet, but South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg has met the criteria to get on stage for the first two Democratic Party presidential debates, to be held in June and July. Buttigieg tweeted Monday that he raised more than $7 million in the first quarter of this year.

And while Sunday’s first-quarter fundraising deadline prompted increased calls for money from all of the 2020 candidates, it’s not just quantity of money they’re seeking—it’s the quantity of donors.

In order to appear in the first two debates, the Democratic National Committee has added new criteria: Candidates must either earn 1% support in multiple polls or receive campaign contributions from 65,000 individuals and a minimum of 200 unique donors per state in at least 20 U.S. states. Last May, the Republican National Committee voted to disband its debate committee, suggesting that the party does not have plans to host its own presidential debates.......

Am watching the results just beginning to come in on CBC news network..., and I am slightly nervous - being a senior and concerned with who wins (which will impact on potential services being cut, depending on who forms the next gov't)...

charley · 10-22-2019, 03:21 AM

Well, it looks like a projected Liberal minority government (waves goodbye to Conservative Scheer's plans) I am relieved!

If Elizabeth Warren becomes the Democratic Party Nominee in 2002, I certainly hope that Hillary Clinton gets out and campaigns for her as hard as Warren did for Clinton in 2016!

I'm not exactly sure why, perhaps a case of sour grapes, but I have a hard time picture this happening and that will be a shame IMHO!

This holds true for any female who might be the 2020 candidate. I hope Hillary gets out and supports them!

I doubt they'd want her help.

Another in a long line who has sullied their reputation in regards to Trump!

Perhaps it's not too big a price to pay for becoming Vice President??

Are there rumblings she might still toss her hat in the ring?
