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.

Rick: Before we talk about episode 3 of #GasLitNation, I have to take issue: How can you not like the Beatles??
Sarah Kendzior: People are going to hate me now; you'll hang up on me! It's boring. I don't feel it.

Sarah Kendzior: The most damning thing about me is my iPod. @AndreaChalupa show that we can bridge these things; she's a Beatles fan and I'm a Rolling Stones fan.

Sarah Kendzior: We've seen manipulations in the stock market. Helping mafiosos abroad. You can see these tentacles stretching everywhere, incl offshore banking. Everyone should read the speech by Mueller.

Rick: Trump was the perfect person for this because he's part of all these worlds. Friends tell me nothing gets done in NY without going through the mob.
Sarah Kendzior: Trump is great at marketing & PR; he has no shame.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: So few did anything about Trump, which brings into question the NY FBI and Giuliani. It's not my job to fix this, but it sure is someone's, and they've done nothing.

Sarah Kendzior: Mueller says this is not the Sopranos, it's not shaking down someone down at a diner. It blurs the borders when the gov't lets these people run wild. Citizens United lets money be pumped into campaigns.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: I think Mueller should indict and get the most destructive people out NOW before they make things worse. I'm not saying to wrap it up but get these guys out. There's nothing that justifies putting babies in cages.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: It blows my mind that we're still having a debate over whether or not Trump is racist. Of course he's racist; that's why we have South American kids put in cages. The mystery is solved--move on.

Rick: My concern is the Manafort trial ends up like 12 Angry Men or something like that, where one person plants seeds of doubt in everyone else's minds. I worry Manafort walks.
Sarah Kendzior: I'm discouraged by those ?s from jury.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: I worry that the jury wasn't sequestered. If I were Manafort's team, I'd be tampering with the jury. I don't think we should expect justice to be served, but I'm sure more charges are coming.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: Trump has gotten hold of the judiciary in a big way, firing judges and putting his own people in. I hope there's a guilty verdict but I'm leaning towards there won't be.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: I wonder if Manafort has a heads up in how this will all end up. He's acting smug, winking at his wife in the courtroom.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Rick: I don't know if you saw Trump's tweet that media is the opposition party but "we're winning!"
Sarah Kendzior: This isn't the first we've known he feels this way; don't know why people act like it's the first time we've heard it
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: The media shouldn't be close and cozy with gov't/judicial. They should be independently reporting.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation

Sarah Kendzior: This was a lot tonight--you should have stuck to the Beatles!
