Bots and Trolls are out in massive force.

Twitter is absolutely insane. Jim Acosta posted on twitter that he's not the enemy of the people, and he just got railroaded by obviously fake accounts saying yes he is, he lies about Trump and spreads propaganda and the media must be stopped.

Scary how powerful social media is at spreading propaganda.

Florida suppressing voter registration.

Apparently the Florida voter registration site crashed yesterday preventing new people from signing up and the deadline is too. What a coincidence...

So disgusting how much Republicans cheat. Thousands of people won't be able to vote because of this. All states need same-day registration.

Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn actually bragging and

behaving like little brats on twitter. What pathetic, corrupt trash they are. It's infuriating.

Lindsey said "Not tired of winning yet!"

I can't live in this country anymore.

I hate it. It's a cesspool. It's broken. It's corrupt.

I wish I could leave, but I have no means to get into another country. It's all so freakin depressing.

Twice now, Republicans have gotten away with putting illegitimate justices

on the Court. In Kavanaugh's case, an actual criminal will be put on the court with zero consequences.

I'm so fed up with this country. What an absolute cesspool. Evil always wins here.

Flake is a yes.

What a horrible piece of trash. Call his office and ream him out. He's not beholden to any voters and he still does the wrong thing, always.

Grassley adviser resigns after sexual harassment accusation

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/grassley-adviser-resigns-after-sexual-harassment-accusation/2018/09/22/f8f93fb6-be73-11e8-be70-52bd11fe18af_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_source=reddit.com&utm_term=.1f1f7416d607


So a senior communications staff member working for Chuck Grassley worked for the same PR firm as Ed Whelan that orchestrated the conspiracy against Dr. Ford about some other guy being the one attacking her. Also the same guy Grassley said would handle the investigation into Kavanaugh instead of the FBI.

Which means, Grassley himself through his office set up a PR campaign and got all those people to vouch for Kavanaugh in order to attack Dr. Ford and make Kavanaugh look innocent.

I'm so disgusted by all this corruption. Grassley should immediately resign, especially from the Judiciary Committee. Someone from CA call Diane Feinstein's office ASAP!

I don't understand polling.

So the new NBC/WSJ poll came out last night. It showed Trump's approval has risen to 45% (that's absolutely insane and depressing.)

But it also showed that Independents now support a Democratic Congress by a margin of 22%. As of June, it was only a 7 point difference. That's a 15% increase in 1 month.

How on Earth can nearly triple the number of Independents support flipping Congress to blue to put a check on Trump, but his approval actually goes up? I just don't get it.

Trump may have actually lost by 19 million votes.

https://thinkprogress.org/states-purged-16-million-voters-from-the-rolls-before-the-2016-election-1c5688dcaad7/

16 million people were illegally purged from voter rolls between the 2014 mid-terms and 2016 election. Most were low-income and minorities including in states like Florida and North Carolina.

That is terrifying. The GOP is attacking us from within and Russia is hacking from outside.
