Every single day I hope Bob Mueller is an inch closer to nailing Agent Orange.

But what if he isn't able to prove Collusion.

Maybe Trump knew Russia was trying to help him win and he was simply okay with it. Is that criminal conduct? I don't know. And if there is no solid evidence for collusion , then does obstruction have legs? Maybe Mueller will get him on money laundering or perjury.

The point is, let's not pin our hopes on Mueller. Lets imagine there is no Mueller and our only hope is getting the House and the Senate in face of gerrymandered districts and Russian interference 2.0 .

I wish we had a national leader who could direct us..

But as someone said, we are the leaders we are waiting for.

I plan to knock on doors and convince people to vote.

Because, from experience, that is the only method that works. Not mailers, not Facebook posts, not TV ads .. but good old fashioned, door to door canvassing.

My target is to knock on 500 doors before election day.

Met the Mayor of Parsippany, Mike Soriano yesterday

He is very very impressive.

Look out for his star to rise.

No nonsense, relatable, not an insider.


Can't ask for more

Hope he runs for Senate one day

What kind of person will it take to, not just win but wipe the floor with Donald Trump in 2020

Because if Dems can't blow the shit out of Republicans with the Orange Buffoon in 2020 ..then shame on us.

Let's just focus on personality type- not specific people.

In my mind, the person who can do that may not make the best president. So let's leave the issue of being suitable and prepared for the job out. Because after Hillary, that is almost a negative when it comes to electability with the fucked up middle of the ballot voters ( they don't Fucking care about true merits). Hillary was qualified for POTUS and Trump is only qualified to lick Putin's balls. He still won.

I think someone with a folksy charm , attractive to look at and no nonsense but fair attitude about him ( yes a guy) will win. He should not be one bit afraid to treat Trump like the criminal he is on the debate stage.

What do you all think?

What do conservatives conserve?

They are ruining the planet .. they are busting our budget through ruinous tax cuts and out of control military spending.. they would shred the saftey nets if they could and let the old/poor people starve and die.

The only thing they want to conserve is previlege for people who already have it. They want those privileges to be passed down to a select few. Previleges afforded by wealth, race and religion are not to be given out.. rather conserved and added to. And the end justifies all means.

So please remind me why the bloody fuck are they conservatives.

Sorry if it has been posted before , but I think I found the perfect Lawyer for Trump

He specializes in defending thieves and crooks

Here is why I think Trump will be forced out of office before his term.

If Mueller at some point , before 2020 Nov, indicts Trump as he is expected to and if that involves money laundering... Trump can be criminally prosecuted after office.

Republicans will not only lose the Whitehouse but Trump can go to Jail if the next Democratic president refuses to pardon him, which will be very damaging to Pukes.

So in Mutual interest .. Trump will resign and Pence will pardon him of all offenses. Pence will claim ignorance in his election bid.

I am thinking of buying a bullet proof backpack for my kid

I have 6 year old daughter .. she is my only kid -- we had her after many years of marriage.

Last month there was a lockdown following a threat. Luckily, it turned out to be a false alarm.

But what if the next time it isnt a false alarm. What if crouching below desk and hiding behind bullet proof backpack might mean the difference.


I dont know much about how effective they are. Would love to hear if anyone has already done the research on this

This is beyond sad ...

I am so disillusioned with the Union County Democrats

Nick Scutari and his band of thugs firstly arm twisted local democratic committee members into voting for him. I faced intense pressure into voting for him in an open vote. TWO state senators called me up .. they sent muffins to my house and .. Dire consequences were conjured up for the next year's town council election if Colleen Mahr won the race...

And now they have followed it up the at the Congressional primaries.. while I like Malinowski's resume .. I am seeing some of the ugliest politicking in my life.. Linda Webber was scuttled by her own cities committee president ( Who has corruption charges up the wazoo)... every grassroots activist I know is disgusted and feels used.

If the corrupt thugs think they can co-opt the movement to their benefit - fuck them.
