Just a watcher and a witness, not a decider

Never wrestle with a Republican. You both get dirty and the Republican likes it - live & let live

#BlueResisters

We're better than they are - we concede gleefully, obey in advance and blame ourselves as racist misogynistic conspiracy theorists - we respect the copyright on 'rigged rigged rigged' belongs to the Donald exclusively - #Recount is beyond the high road's ending - let's kiss his..no, not ass, RING

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

PLEASE WATCH: Video posted so far from today’s killing in Minneapolis shows the victim recording video with his smartphone, coming to the aid of two women and trying to stand between them and an ICE agent. He does not show a gun at all. Then, I count 10 shots.

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

Unlike Minnesota, Texas and Florida weren’t invaded by lawless, masked “immigration” ICE thugs.

That’s because their residents voted for Donald Trump and their governors flatter him.

This isn’t about immigration; it’s about deeply damaged Donald’s brittle ego.

By acting with dignity and professionalism, Smith ensured that his testimony and reports will be the definitive record of Trump’s criminal culpability. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to Smith, who has willingly placed himself in the sights of a vengeful and vainglorious president
