Rick: When do we have the intervention? Can we tell Twitter to turn Trump off?
Propane Jane: A lot of people say when Trump does this, he's distracting from something, but he's always lurching from tantrum to tantrum. Hard to tell when he's stable. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: He's had a bad week, but it's actually been a couple of bad months. Well, 19 bad months. The news cycle continues to be very bad. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: Trump really thought he showed strength w/ #Russia, and then when he returned to the US, he was flabbergasted to find the American public didn't agree. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: There's no lie Trump can tell that's too much b/c he doesn't see himself as lying. He's saying reality as he sees it. He's unable to take criticism, to handle being questioned about things he doesn't want to talk about. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Rick: I often ask, what would it take for a Trump supporter to turn against him?
Propane Jane: I don't think there's anything. I think he was right, he could kill someone on 5th Ave and get away with it. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: There was a caller on C-SPAN who said if the Russians did help elect Trump, he was okay with that. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: The enemy of my enemy is my friend: They've taken that approach with how they're running the Republican party. Blood is thicker than water. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: The GOP knows they really aren't in danger of losing any votes. People go to the voting booths and just look for names with an R. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: There was an interview w/ a Carrier employee who said he'd vote for Trump again, even when it was pointed out to him that the closing came due to Trump policies. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
They've elevated Trump to a savior pedestal. How could he not be looking out for my best interests? @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: My first election was the 2000 election; that was demoralizing to see how the system failed us, and then to see it reoccur 16 years later... @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: For people who haven't had a chance to participate in an election process that works, it's demoralizing. Can we trust the voting machines? The electoral college? @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Rick: What's the sanity part of this?
Propane Jane: Congress has already been briefed on Trump's mental health status, closed-door meetings w/ psychiatrists/psychologists. They've explained what to expect, how to control, what actions they can take. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: We need to raise our voices, say we're worried about treason as well as his mental status. We have to continue to say, "This is not normal!" No one but Congress can act on this. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Propane Jane: This is not going to change. We have to physically remove Trump from office. @docrocktex26#TellTaleTweet
Rick: I really think this weekend's tweets were a result of having crowds of protesters outside the WH yelling, "Lock him up!" #TellTaleTweet#RickShow

Rick: Grassley basically said women don't want to work.
Sarah Kendzior: All women do is work. Women have been doing the bulk of the work of protesting, documenting the atrocities of the this administration. @sarahkendzior@gaslitnation#GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: Those in power don't care. Our elected representatives don't care about our opinions, about their constituents, about being voted out of office. That tells me they plan to rig election, disqualify votes after the fact. @sarahkendzior@gaslitnation#GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: They want a disempowered, serf-like class struggling for survival. It's the Republican dream. They've designed a transnational economy that benefits the wealthiest. @sarahkendzior@gaslitnation#GasLitNation
Scott Dworkin: It's almost a certainty that Mueller will try Manafort for the ten charges that ended in a hung jury in the previous trial. @funder@TheDemCoalition#DworkinReport
Scott Dworkin: Manafort can't push back much; he's really disadvantaged at this point. He'd have to give up something absolutely crazy or he'll be in prison for the rest of his life. @funder@TheDemCoalition#DworkinReport
Sarah Kendzior: This was the first I've heard of the parade being cancelled. Costing $92 million??
Rick: How do you justify spending $92 million on something that only one person wants? @sarahkendzior@gaslitnation#GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: $92 million could be spent on veterans, on healthcare, on so many more things that are more important than a parade. @sarahkendzior@gaslitnation#GasLitNation
Rick: I find it funny they waited until the NDAA was signed before they pulled back on the parade.
Sarah Kendzior: I think with all Republicans you need to look at what policies they've passed & what their rhetoric is. They say someone should do something about Russian interference (them!) but nothing's getting done. @sarahkendzior#GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: Russia wants the US to be pulled out of NATO. They want NATO to be weakened, they want the US to be weakened, they don't want oligarchs to be investigated for anything. @sarahkendzior#GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: Why would the Russians help Dems win elections? The Russians wouldn't get what they want then. Saying the Russians are helping Dems is absolute crap. @sarahkendzior#GasLitNation
Sarah: He literally said, "I'm just putting it together now." I don't know which is worse, that he didn't put apprentice/apprenticeship together before, or that he felt comfortable saying that in front of cameras & reporters. Bless his heart.
Rick: Evidently Trump had irrefutable evidence Day One about Russian interference but he's chosen to vehemently deny, refute it.
Sarah: The forensic detail is absurd. The world now knows the US knows what's going on when it comes to cyber espionage.
