We did not let GOP pick our Speaker. We will not let GOP pick our nominee.

If you buy in to the Ukraine hit job, you are letting the GOP pick our nominee.

The GOP wanted Seth Moulton to be our Speaker. In retrospect, good idea?

5. Unfortunately, many fall for the divide and conquer game. How not when they are themselves so

bent on another candidate they know has a better shot at winning the nomination if Joe is crippled?

Trump fully hoped it would be Democratic voters who would push his propaganda in the form of
“But what will the neighbors say?”

Candidates who stay silent are fully aware that they allow this game to get played out.

Trump is playing us, folks. What we should debate is not to what extent Trump will succeed in
picking our nominee, but what WE think is valid ground to argue for our preferred candidate or against another.

So far Trump has not crippled Joe’s campaign. Obviously, he needs our help to effect that.

10. He and Putin want to mess up the Kurds AND Europe good. Trump is onboard with Putin's plan

for world domination. Putin is installing puppet governments.

The more terrorist incidents in Europe, the better chance to stoke anti-immigrant and nationalist sympathies. Western leaders must call this madman out. Trump is an existential threat to America, to our allies, to the world.

Putin and Russia are also worried about Joe Biden




Facebook on Monday said it removed a network of Russian-backed accounts that posed as locals weighing in on political issues in swing states, praising President Trump and attacking former Vice President Joe Biden, illustrating that the familiar threat of Russian interference looms over the next U.S. presidential race.

Facebook said the network bears the hallmark of the same Kremlin-backed group that interfered in the 2016 election by sowing social discord, boosting Trump and attacking Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. The new disinformation campaign appears to follow the same playbook.

This time, a coordinated group of Russian accounts that appears to show some links to the Internet Research Agency took largely to Facebook’s photo-sharing app, Instagram, to post content this year about U.S. politics and memes targeting Democratic presidential contenders.

The operation demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of the schisms within the Democratic Party as it labors to choose a nominee to face Trump next November. One Russian account, which portrayed itself as as a black voter in Michigan, used the #blacklivesmatter hashtag to hammer Biden for his gaffes about racial issues. Some of the accounts boosted one of his left-wing rivals, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
