I just got an email from Common Cause stating that we are only six states away from calling for an Article V convention to amend the US Constitution. Scott Walker former governor of Wisconsin and the American Legislative Exchange Counsil (ALEC) are behind this.
The alleged sarin gassing of Khan Sheikhoun by the Syrian army in 2017 was the trigger for Trump's first cruise missile attack on Syria. The MSM uniformly and immediately blamed the episode on Assad. But independent journalists - including Sy Hersh and Robert Parry, arguably the greatest of our time - as well as MIT expert Dr. Ted Postol, were extremely skeptical.
Something to keep in mind…
Living in Two Worlds: Capitalism Pretends All Is Well While the World Is Burning: An interview with Dahr Jamil Truth Out 8-20-19
Global capitalism demands we pretend all is well, while climate and political realities already reveal the end game we are living in. The U.S. government, along with many others in the western world, has lurched into overt authoritarianism, while climate chaos accelerates at a breakneck pace. How do we live in both worlds? In this column, each of us reflect on our own process of coping with this existential schism, in hopes that our experiences might be of some help in grappling with the grave dilemma we all share.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wasn't supposed to win.
The establishment wanted the corrupt, anti-Russian President Petro Poroshenko to be re-elected.
Zelenskiy is liable to do something unpredictable.
Electability. You can have the best platform and positions in the country. However, if you haven't a prayer of getting elected, the quality of your platform and positions may be at least a somewhat moot point. IMO, they would not be totally wasted: They can influence the national conversation, aspirations of voters, etc. I believe that Sanders' 2016 positions did that. But, a great platform and great positions plus "electability" should be a dynamite trifecta, no?
As I'm sure most of you already know, Liz Warren once was a diehard conservative.
"Harry, one of Warren’s best friends in high school, distinctly remembers Warren being an “ice-cold Republican,” as she would sometimes tease her. (Warren joked back that Harry had “socialist” friends.)"
The REAL interference in the 2016 election was by a cabal of Deep Staters, their Five Eyes allies, and Clintonites who invented and trumpeted the LIE that the Russian government had interfered in the election on behalf of Trump, and that the Trump campaign had colluded in this interference in some way that we could uncover if we just looked hard enough.
Exactly. Why isn't @IlhanMN now tweeting out the recent UN report on Israeli atrocities? Or calling out the US government for refusing to even acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons arsenal? She's keeping it focused on her rather than breaking new ground on issues. https://t.co/my7V7myFON

Our President has decided to offer his buddies, donors and boon companions the mother of all real estate opportunities for plunder. Never mind Puerto Rico, leave those ungrateful folks to their fate, whadaya mean you can't by your own bare hands dig your way out from under a Cat 5 hurricane--lazy bums!!
