@cnn.com I hate being that person, BUT… Anderson Cooper’s fixation on bereavement is so unhealthy. His repetitive emotional rollercoaster when interviewing people who experienced bereavement comes across as an act of self-flagellation.
Respectfully he needs to find a therapist to address it.

@maddow.msnbc.com What a pathetic attempt by Laurence O’Donnell on The Last Word to cover for the 8 senators who voted with Republicans last night, as well as the utterly useless Chuck Schumer. The sooner the current leadership of the Democratic Party are gone the better. They failed their party.

Finally some good political news coming out of America. Perhaps now we will see a wider rejection of Trump and the Republicans by a majority of voters… if they are allowed to exercise their vote freely without interference by Trump.

It takes some neck to stand in front of the media complaining about political consensus being out of kilter with the grassroots while you have a €12,000+ Hermès bag hanging off your arm.
I assume Gavin is representing what Steen said accurately.
For me her 'campaign' has been one of entitlement.

This is worth hearing and spreading far and wide.
Crime in the U.K. is reducing over the last 25 years.
While immigration has increased crime has reduced. So if anything we should be saying more immigration = less crime 😉

Can you imagine him representing us on the international stage!
He hasn’t a clue what the role or the powers of the President are
He thinks he gets to dictate to Government what they do
He thinks quoting bits from the Proclamation of the Republic makes him sound good. Too many kicks to the head 🤦♂️
