That corn pop was me 😂
That Marianne impression was perfect too.
To make a very long story short, I had a change in my religious outlook that undermined the foundations of my social conservatism, which in turn caused me to question what else I was wrong about. Social conservatism ties into economic conservatism (I realized that there's no way to help the poor like Jesus wanted without redistribution). It was fairly quickly apparent to me that one of the major underlying problems of the US was capitalism, which fueled its imperialism, and that the Democrats merely wanted capitalism and imperialism with a human face.
The economic crash sped me along and the Obama administration left me feeling pretty comfortable in my assessment.
This is what my inadequate baby brain was reaching for, thank you. This is what tipped the scales, imo, in 2016. 30 years of laying the groundwork with a narrative of corruption, and the Republicans stumbling over the server.
This is a good initial model
tl;dr the quarter closing is usually good for ramping up fundraising, but not this week because of imprachment. If you're one of the nobodys outside of the top 5 or Senatorial caucus, it means no one will give even more of a shit about you, and your $ dries up.

.@SteveScalise tells @chucktodd: President Trump is asking for a "favor" in looking into Russia's interference in the 2016 campaign. He wasn't talking about Joe Biden or Hunter Biden when he referred to a "favor."

Just to be clear here: the President's insane request to look into "Crowdstrike" wasn't about *Russian* interference, but rather a bonkers conspiracy theory that Russia, was framed by Ukrainian interests. https://twitter.com/Yamiche/status/1178297832798871554 …

Reminder that Bossert was fired when Bolton became NSA.Rick Klein @rickklein
Tom Bossert said the Crowdstrike/DNC/Ukraine story is "completely false" and has "no validity." Says he and others told Trump that, but that Rudy continues to push it. #ThisWeek

Lmao @ that not surprised at all number
~51% of the country knows he's a corrupt cunt
Well, the November debates will still have Biden, Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg and Harris.How long until the DNC gives people the top 3 candidate debate we all want?
This would be GREAT.I can't keep up with everything
We need threadmarked Rab synopsis from DQ11 telling us what the story is so far every day lol
Almost makes me miss DWS. Which I thought I would never say.
He went too far in the other direction after last cycle's complaints
The people who were yelling at Pelosi about impeachment?How is Steyer meeting the donor requirements so easily? Who the hell is donating to him?
Flashbacks to college.
Nick Corasaniti @NYTnickc
Booker announces on CNN that he has crossed the 165,000 unique donor threshold for the Novemeber debates.

I don't know if he should really be reminding people that underlying Trump's impeachment is his son cashing in on the Biden name and political position.Joe Biden, courting donors at a fundraiser in California on Thursday, began his remarks by reading directly from a whistleblower's complaint that President Donald Trump sought foreign interference in the 2020 election.
That was probably bullshit to drum up donations.Booker is meant to quit if he doesn't raise $1.7 million or something anyway.
Also... lol
that you will be attending in 2038.
The only embarrassing part about it was him caving into, surprise surprise, the Sanders camp.
Rudy Giuliani gives several answers to @GStephanopoulos on whether he'll cooperate with House Intel:
"That is a question that has a lot, a lot of implications to it."
"I wouldn't cooperate with Adam Schiff."
"I'll consider it."
NEW: Former Homeland Security adviser Tom Bossert on impeachment inquiry against Pres. Trump: "It is a bad day and a bad week for the president and for this country if he is asking for political dirt on an opponent." https://abcn.ws/2ojcGb3
After primaries begin and steyers and Booker's drop out.How long until the DNC gives people the top 3 candidate debate we all want?
Mr. Biden's campaign has pushed supporters to stand with him — financially.
"Disgusting," read one email subject line. "About Ukraine," said another.
Lol, who is opening an email with the subject line "Disgusting""BREAKING: Trump memo bombshell," read an email from the campaign of Senator Kamala Harris of California. Inside, the campaign urged supporters to "rush a contribution to Kamala's presidential campaign to elect a president who will fight for truth, justice and the rule of law — and defeat the lawless one we have now."
"I don't understand what you don't get about that."
sometimes tapper isn't terrible
"I don't understand what you don't get about that."

Finally something truly bipartisan.How long before we get a leaked RNC email "Why is Jake Tapper such a dick?"

Is @realDonaldTrump, the President of the United States, name searching Ed Henry and retweeting whatever negative stuff he finds?

Dude on state media asked a question Donald didn't like:
Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs
Trump departs White House wearing his golf attire — white polo shirt, khakis, and red hat — midway through the Sunday morning politics shows.
Stephen Miller was on Fox; Rudy Giuliani, Adam Schiff, Tom Bossert on ABC. Giuliani and Lindsey Graham coming up on CBS.
Trump, while in motorcade to golf course, does more than 18 tweets or retweets criticizing Fox News' Ed Henry.
