The candidate we really need...

Will be a lawyer with knowledge of constitutional law. The candidate needs to call for an American version of South Africa's truth and reconciliation hearings-I mean we need open public trials into every serious allegation of wrongdoing whether by democrat or republican and every criminal conviction needs to be given time in prison. Citizens United has proven that money as speech violates the equal protection clause and must be revoked. Politicians who double their personal wealth every 5 years must go to jail-it cannot be done honestly and democrats must cry as loudly against democratic misbehavior as we do against the same behavior by republicans-that is how you show the parties are not the same. We don't need Oprah and celebrity-we need gravitas, integrity, and truth.

Can anyone name a song that hit Billboard #1

that was sung in Japanese?

If it's way past midnight,

and it's New Year's eve still (just because you haven't slept yet) and your of an age (60+) and living alone, then here are two songs for the girls who might have been so much more in your lives...

Jim Croce Christmas

The Truth

Franken was clearly one of the best and brightest and Gillibrand merely the fastest kangaroo in the court. The party did in fact let us down-they swore an oath to the constitution and then foreswore due process for a colleague who was in fact known as a promoter of women's rights. The other fact let unsaid was that in congress a single male who openly supported women's rights was defacto worth more than a woman who supported the same. And if you were a woman thinking of a 2020 run it might be a real good thing if Franken took a hit. And now he has and less than 10 people in congress are asking Trump to resign. So tell me again-what advantage do I get from being a democrat???

I call it irony chasing it's tail...

Giillibrand loses support here for leading a democratic lynch mob that chases out a champion of women's rights before a scrap of evidence is examined. Today an openly acknowledged asshole writes a suggestive tweet and shock of shocks-all the damage she caused is forgotten and we should all send her candy and sympathy cards??? She chewed an honorable entire career to pieces and a movement was growing to get democrats to ask Franken to stay pending an actual hearing. But the Bastard who is defying attempts to bring him before hearings writes a nasty note to her and as a result Al stays on the outside while Kirsten gets Kudos for what???

Tina Dupuy-the credible one???

From wiki

As a teenager, Dupuy was convinced that she was an alcoholic and joined Alcoholics Anonymous, and would eventually gain prominence for telling the story of her sobriety to AA audiences. Twenty years later, however, having drifted away from the organization, she began to question the interpretation she had been given of her life story, and decided the only way to know for sure whether she was an alcoholic was to have a drink and see what happened. She discussed the process that led to this conclusion in an interview for This American Life.[5]

Dupuy has spoken openly about being born into the cult The Children of God and subsequently being raised in foster care in California.[6] She created the podcast Cultish,[7] in which she interviewed former members of cults and discussed her uncle Rick Dupuy's public defection.[8]

In late 2017, Dupuy joined the #metoo movement when she wrote a story for The Atlantic magazine claiming that Al Franken put his hand on her waist during a photo shoot and squeezed, an incident she considered sexual harrassment.[9]

I missed the contest

But I thought this might work with a few tweeks...
