Thank you, Arnold Horshack. I'm sure you also know who Kamala Harris is – and I have a feeling she may be the next candidate to withdraw from the 2020 Presidential race. She doesn't even have much support in her home state of California.

Kamala Harris closes campaign offices and fires staff in New Hampshire

Sen. Kamala Harris is closing three of her four presidential campaign offices in New Hampshire and has fired all her field organizers in the state as she homes in on her struggling campaign in Iowa, an aide tells CNN.

I'm really not impressed with this field of Democratic candidates.

Mayor Pete. Maybe.

Hopefully once New Hampshire and Iowa kick things off, we'll have a clearer window and I can see a better choice.

I do think the House Democrats are gonna make it twice as hard for the nomination to win.

When Congress fails to remove Trump, it'll make him look even better to independents and undecided voters.
 
There are many things I don't understand about the democratic party. Why can't Gavin Newsom, or some high profile person run? There isn't one popular, likeable democrat anywhere?

And why can't any of them clearly make the point that this great economy is fake, created with borrowed money? All the economic indicators are going the wrong way, but it's a big secret.
 
In 2003, California voters who were outraged by Governor Joe "Gray" Davis raising vehicle taxes and registration fees and granting driver licenses to undocumented immigrants, recalled him from office and replaced him with Arnold Schwarzenneger. In 2019, voters are unhappy with Governor Gavin Newsom for his failure to address the homeless crisis and his overseeing of power cutoffs to hundreds of thousands of homes threatened by fire. He, too, could wind up being recalled. Let's not add him to the potential Presidential candidates list just yet.

Mass California blackout recalls shades of Gray Davis. Should Gavin Newsom be worried?

 
On Twitter, you can adjust your settings so you don't see people's retweets. I wish Facebook had the same option.

I'm tired of seeing all my friends repost Jeffrey Epstein's death conspiracy reposts.

On Facebook, there are a couple of friends I've unfollowed. I can go to their page, plus they can comment, but what they post doesn't show up on my feed. It's a beautiful thing.
 
Several times in the past 24 hours, CNN has aired the video of Jeremy Diamond asking Donald Trump on the White House lawn yesterday, "What do you think of polls showing the number of Americans who want you impeached and removed from office is greater than the number who don't?" Trump told him, "You're reading the wrong polls." Diamond clarified, "They're from CNN, Fox News, ABC, NBC, Wall Street Journal....." and Trump interrupted to declare, "The CNN polls are fake. The Fox polls have always been lousy. The real polls, and you look at the ones that came out this morning, people don't want anything to do with impeachment. It's a phony scam. It's a hoax. And the whistleblower should be revealed because he gave false information."

What are those "real polls," you ask? They don't exist. Why is impeachment a "phony hoax" and a "scam," you ask? It isn't. What "false information" did the whistleblower give, you ask? None. No further questions, your honor.
 
Polls said Clinton would win the election. She did — by 2,833,220 votes. But we still have an 18th-century relic known as the Electoral College which, five times so far, has disregarded the will of the people and given the Presidency to a losing candidate. And polls, of course, are only small samples of public opinion. People's opinions can change over time. Remember early in 2008 when several polls of Democratic voters showed Hillary Clinton was the favored Presidential candidate? John Edwards was second. The man who polled third wound up winning the election.
 
Donald Trump just settled the lawsuit that he declared a year ago he would never settle. It turns out that the only "charity" the Trump Foundation donated money to was Donald Trump.

Trump to pay $2 million to settle New York civil lawsuit against Trump Foundation and his children

A judge ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to a collection of nonprofit organizations as part of a settlement with the New York state attorney general's office to resolve a civil lawsuit that alleged "persistent" violations of charities law that included unlawful coordination with...

If you "can't reply," you're probably thinking the same thing I am: The man who calls himself a "stable genius" is full of something that's found in a stable. am I right?

With so many witnesses testifying, Trump's defenders can no longer say there was no quid-pro-quo offer to Ukraine so now they're scrambling to find new defense tactics. Lindsey Graham is the current champion: Trump's foreign policy is "incoherent" so therefore he couldn't possibly offered a quid pro quo. Ummmm.........okay.

Lindsey Graham's Ukraine explanation will blow your mind

Defending President Donald Trump's oft-repeated claims that there was no quid pro quo in his relationship with Ukraine becomes more difficult by the day. Which forces Republicans to bend over backward -- and crush logic -- to do so.
