When I think of "blue wave", I don't think of Democraptic gains in Congress. No, I think about the blue swirl of toilet bowl cleaner going down the drain. If the Democrats are going to win anything during midterms, other than their already assured Stupidity Prize, they are going to have to come with something, anything--except A) we're not Trump (true you're stupid mofos), B) Russia! made me do it.

World History this day

Because Pope Francis is willing to sacrifice the freedom of Chinese and Ukrainians for his own personal ambition, and his support and encouragement of right-wing governments to deny women and LGBTQ persons' human rights, we have ample reason for concern.

Rather than us telling each other how to vote, I suggest we need to be telling candidates and office holders how we expect them to be voting and conducting themselves.

I propose that we decide among ourselves which issues are deal breakers.
Not a laundry list but the change we expect to see.

My suggestions would be

1. Commitment to a non-interventionist foreign policy, including the closing of overseas military bases.
