Is there even one person in prison yet due to Mueller investigation

Is it possible this is all kabuki theater with Trump and in the end the good Republican let’s everyone off with a wrist slap?

As a former manager and director in public and private corporations

Most all are up to no good. There is something spiritual and human taken away from someone who serves in leadership of even relatively small corporations.

Everyone should deactivate their Facebook accounteven if not permanently

Facebook is a unique threat to our democracy and should be driven into a corner. I just deactivated my FB. I am debating whether to delete my Instagram since I would lose my posted photos if I delete.

Facebook has become more and more of a bore to me anyway. It doesn’t provide me any real value and has a number of downsides including the proven ability to bring on bouts of depression. Add the data profiles on each user being sold and the. Exploited for nefarious political effect, and it has become a ha it rather like smoking.

I hope tens of millions of users will delete in the next few days.

Editors Ng to add a link to Stuart G’s post with instructions about how to delete FB forever.

What Uber and Tesla and Google wont tell you about self driving cars

They are now locked in a battle with public transit agencies as autonomous vehicles actually dim prospects for less congested roadways in cities.

We could soon see public money being diverted away from far more efficient people moving transit options of fixed route rail and buses in favor
Of autonomous vehicles.

I am not saying there is no place for autonomous vehicles,’but we really need to push high speed rail, light rail lines and more heavy rail
Commuter lines if we’re to make serious progress toward zero emissions.

I am saddened by the death of the woman in Arizona struck by Uber vehicle, but I hope this incident gives us pause about what we’re doing with our transportation choices.

Is there any polling about how Americans feel about Russia attacking our vote?

It sure surprises me there’s not more of a “what the fuck happened” among American citizens. How scary is it if Republicans are secure in knowing no matter the progress made on voter access and gerrymandering, they can just flip votes to their liking?

Donald Trump Jr. to be indicted by end of March along with Kushner

Do I have prooof? No. But Trump’s behavior this weekend convinced me that like the Hollywood trope goes, “this time, it’s personal”.

It would explain my Don Jr’s wife is divorcing him now of all times. It would explain why Trump is pulling out all the stops to personally hurt people connected with the investigation.

May it come quickly. That guy is lying scum just like his dad.

Dont countenance Trump loser demographics. Fight hard for what you believe in

Same message applies for us as it does to Dem leaders. Build up OUR base which is far
Bigger than Trump’s. Bring in independents who aren’t just closet Republicans with “look what he’s done to our country” message along with “here’s how Democrats will help you” message.

I am so tired of this drama and dysfunction. End it.

When is this going to be over? It is painful how evil and corrupt and petty and mean spirited and downright fucking stupid this crowd is.

End it. Show compromising shit you have on Trump and tell him his only option is to fire Pence, replace him with Al Gore and then resign the presidency.

The reason Putin and Trump are on a tear is ABSOLUTELY the Republicans

I am wondering why they aren’t directly pushing Trump as a form of self preservation at the polls this fall.

Their absolute disregard for the rule of law, treason, and foreign powers attacking us is astounding.

I believe they are all in Russian shit neck deep.

They knew demographics don’t favor them so in 2016 they got in bed with Putin to retain power and get a GOP President even if they helped elect the Antichrist.
