1/ THREAD (Click on "Show this thread") Here is a revised Ultimate Presidential Candidates List for 10/6/18. Major changes at Tier One. Kamala Harris moves into first, followed by Cory Booker as a running mate. Joe Biden moves from first to third followed by Michael Avenatti.
2/ Bernie Sanders remains first on Tier Two, but is considered weak as a primary contender. Eric Swalwell stays at second while Deval Patrick and Adam Schiff switch places based on Schiff's high profile stance against Kavanaugh (i.e., Schiff moves up on spot).

Do you remember who you were & how you spent your time before Trump?
I slept soundly at night knowing our country was in the hands of an intelligent, honorable, capable President. I never worried about what our President would say or do in the face of national tragedy or danger
I slept soundly at night knowing our country was in the hands of an intelligent, honorable, capable President. I never worried about what our President would say or do in the face of national tragedy or danger
It wasn’t always puppies and rainbows but I never worried about our relationship with our allies or our position in NATO or our commitment to clean energy and acceptance of climate change.
I never went to bed at night worried about what our President might tweet or do that would endanger national security or align the United States with hostile and dangerous foreign powers.
1) #SerenaWilliams is a national embarrassment
Didn't cheat? Coach admitted cheating.
Broke a racquet
Told umpire "I have a daughter"
Verbally abused umpire, called him a thief
"Men do a lot worse, b/c I'm a woman you take a game from me?"

The crowd was berating the umpire from the stands. The commentators were biased. Serena stole all the happiness from the winner Naomi Osaka.

First of all, this Op-Ed baits it's Audience by Stating they are part of "the Resistance" when #Anonymous is nothing of the Sort.
They are COMPLICIT. Grifting on a Failing *Adminstration in Order to have Power over the Policies being set at the White House.

#Anonymous admits this fact later after baiting us using "the Resistance" Title, all while Praising this *Admin's Policies
Most in the Cabinet know *45 is Unhinged & Dangerous, but they're willing to "Thwart" him long enough to get their "MAGA" Agenda Done
How Heroic! 🙄

DeSantis represents all that we need to fight against...
Tweet from June 2017. The police and fire rescue are at the same house (my next door neighbor) for another suspected overdose. She is alive and seems to be ok now. We have GOT to do something about this problem. These people are suffering from a serious addiction. 1)
I do NOT have the answer. But I do know that we need better health care and mental health options for these people. 2)
It seems @realDonaldTrump wants to have a fight about weed when what we really need to address are the substances that are actually killing our folks in massive numbers. 3)

⚡️In 2014, 75% of Floridians voted OVERWHELMINGLY to pass Amendment 1, AKA the FL Water & Land Conservation Initiative, a state constitutional amendment to allot a projected $21 billion over the 20 years of the measure to buy & preserve land. They approved this:
⚡️In 2014, 75% of Floridians voted OVERWHELMINGLY to pass Amendment 1, AKA the FL Water & Land Conservation Initiative, a state constitutional amendment to allot a projected $21 billion over the 20 years of the measure to buy & preserve land. They approved this:
▶️75% of the voters is 4.2 million people.
▶️When 75% of #Florida voters voted to approve Amendment 1 to the Florida Constitution, they approved "the largest land conservation measure ever approved in a single state."
▶️When 75% of #Florida voters voted to approve Amendment 1 to the Florida Constitution, they approved "the largest land conservation measure ever approved in a single state."
ℹ️The exact amount of money is “projected” because—according to the amendment that was passed—it was to come from 33% of Florida’s existing excise tax. An Excise tax is a “documentary stamp tax” paid when real estate is sold, typically 70 cents per $100 paid for the property.
This President being an "unindicted co-conspiritor" is so "Catch 22" it hurts. Here's why (thread)
1/ @MichaelCohen212's testimony and a growing mountain of evidence would surely be enough to bring an indictment for anyone BUT a sitting President.
2/ A freaking "Memorandum Opinion" for the Attorney General delivered in 2000 provides the most recent guidance on "A sitting President's amenability to indictment or criminal prosecution." justice.gov/olc/opinion/si…
