I chose to watch reruns of Star Trek Deep Space 9 instead of getting in my usual Twitter dose. Now for you non-trekkies you need to know that the whole ST franchise is based on a world that has solved the problems of racism, poverty, crime and all other issues that plague us 1/
So in season 3 episode 11 & 12 the crew is transported back in time to the 21st century, before all those problems were solved. The year was 2024 and people who didn't have jobs or a place to live were put in sanctuary cities. Not the Sanctuary city we know but a walled off 2/
City where you are promised help finding work and housing but it never happens.

Why am I telling y'all about this? It reminds me of where we are today. Those suffering and those standing by need to find common ground and work together to make the world a better place
I know I am not giving it justice. I recommend everyone watch it. It's a commentary on our time. BTW it was filmed in 1995!

No ypu are twisting and mixing up facts.
1.Rice and Clinton meet. No proof that they spoke about anything regarding investigation. But It deal not look good on face of It.
2. Unmasking. There was probable cause to unmask because our election was meddled with. So I believe
she had the authority to request the Unmasking. There is no evidence to the contrary
3. Dossier. Make sure u read It then tell me It's fake and not worrisome. And It was started by Republicans During primary.
4. President Obama's only error I Can see is that he went to senior
Rs before the election to make a joint statement about the evidence that the Russians were meddling with the vote. McConnell refused said it would affect the outcome & he would blame the Dems if Trump lost.So he erred on the side of protecting our faith in the election process..
