  1. And, unlike Trump’s attacks, these have the distinct advantage that they are all true.

    No mention of Trump’s obvious servility toward Putin. No mention of Helsinki, reluctance to sanction Russia, or “it’s none of your business.”

    I missed tonight’s debate, but I assume TPM would report it if anyone said it. I guess nobody said it.

    Kamala Harris alluded to it in her video clip above.

  4. those are my litmus test. obviously Ill vote whomever is the, but I will support th first one to state, we have been taken over by a Russian tool, and we need to get all the Russians out, Turtleman, 180 degree Lindsey, Kush, Barr, Cavanaugh, . etc.

  5. Points to Bernie for naming the core problem: Trump is a racist. It’s not okay for the president to be a racist.
