The GOP has gone 100% Lord of the Flies

teen's t-shirt I saw at recent protest: "If I die in a mass shooting,

drop my body on the steps of Congress."

The NRA has put our children on the front lines and they know it.

Just a reminder, with early & absentee voting, the 2020 election is even closer than we think

60 days before the election, people have already started voting. Which means we have even less time to do our work. So let's get working.

I would love to see Al Franken host a show on MSNBC! Make it so!

Griftboating: my word for the grifting, lies & demagoguing from the trump crime regime. nt

STRENGTH THROUGH UNITY! UNITY THROUGH FAITH! - High Chancellor Trumpler

DonJr so mouthy & cocky lately makes me wonder if fix is in with Mueller Report & Barr

when trump attends a funeral, his main concern is finding a uniformed officer to take his coat. nt

the importance of snagging strategic URLs before the GOP gets them

The GOP loves their stupid, abusive, petty torments.

This includes "campaigning by insult." Give your opponent a mean name, set up an abusive smart ass website and load it up with slanderous taunting bullshit and frat-boy-punk graphics.

This happened a lot in the 2018 cycle. "Wacky Jacky" Rosen. "Two Faced" Tester. "Bredesen Blues."

This literally happened in nearly every race. They even had a website and hashtag for the #SchumerShutdown.

It starts with trump. Crooked Hillary. Pocahontas. Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Crazy Bernie. Little Adam Schitt.

Coming soon: Creepy Joe Biden. One Percent Biden.

You see where I am going----

If you spend enough time reading social media and you see a nascent nickname forming, snag the URL. It will cost you less than $20. It is very simple to then redirect it to a location of your choosing (free). Or just sit on it. By holding the URL you deprive the GOP of an easy way for them to spread trash, direct traffic and collect money.

That's very important - if you capture a prime URL they would have used as a donation point, you've given them a nice FU.

Also works for candidates who are too slow to secure their own campaign URLs --- like TancredoForGovernor did. That would have been a prime URL for him to direct traffic to his campaign but alas someone else got it first and redirected it to the NAACP website.

This college cheating scandal has me so worried about my D getting into college

She is a junior. I have so much stress and anxiety that no matter how well she does -- there's always someone who can work the system better than we can (even legally). And that somehow it's my fault and I let her down because I didn't do something I should have to help her.
I didn't get her a tutor she should have had. I didn't help her brainstorm enough for jobs. I just feel like I am failing at every turn.

Even without all the high-profile cheating, it is just so damn competitive. 100s of hours of volunteering. Perfect grades. Perfect scores. Stellar ECs. That's what these schools all seem to demand from these kids. And that is not where we are.

She can't came away from everything she does with a gold star. That's just not real for most students.

Sorry to vent. I'm just having a real low point. I am frustrated and I am tired.
