1/ A lot of people have VALID SKEPTICISM and VALID DOUBTS about the future of the democratic party and it's new chair. I'd be lying if i said i wasn't one who has concerns. However now is the time to express concerns, issues, suggestions. Get involved with your local state party.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Trump briefly consoles crash victims then dives into politics with attack on diversity initiatives and the Army crew. The Commander-in-Chief is attacking dead soldiers as their families mourn. I am sick of this son-of-bitch. apnews.com/article/trum...

Governor Glenn Youngkin two years ago revived Virginia's policy of lifetime disenfranchisement, which had been crafted by an explicitly racist constitutional convention in 1902. Democrats just advanced a constitutional amendment to end that system, and massively expand rights restoration:

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

I spent most of my 22-years in the Army as an aviator in and out of line units flying OH-58's and UH-60's.We lost more aircrews in peacetime training accidents than combat. It's a very dangerous business. Having the President smear them as their families are freshly mourning is unforgivable.

Senator Dick Durban to Kash Patel: "With all due respect, Mr. Patel, I've not worn the uniform of this country and neither have you. To think that you would denigrate Bob Mueller's service to our country and call him a 'swamp creature' is an indication of the depths your political views take you."

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.

The American people deserve an intelligence chief that will stand up to Donald Trump if he gives them a directive to illegally gut funds from watchdogs that oversee intelligence agencies. Tulsi Gabbard refused to answer, which tells you everything you need to know.

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Often he is described in news reports as a vaccine skeptic, when he is far more than that. He is an extreme vaccine opponent.

The Commander in Chief is politicizing the deaths of not only 67 lives, but three Servicemembers. His hatred for those who serve knows no bounds. His disdain for women knows no limits. His empathy for those left behind is nonexistent. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.
