Inspired by the people of Serbia.

Learned about Technocracy yesterday. Now the Network State and “Freedom Cities.” Ugh. They’re going to sell the ** out of this & people will gobble it up like they always do.

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

He didn’t go far enough in #SOTU. He tweets tough but he’s still afraid of the people. Why not an outright declaration of an alliance with Putin? Or grand new corporate plan ending social security? Or a rewording of the first amendment? He loves praise too much to rule. #understandtheassignment
