Time to Boycott CNN and Starbucks.

I'm sure many of us are already.

But CNN just announced Poppy Harlow is moderating a town hall with Howard Schultz. Jeff Zucker wants to keep Trump in office because he makes money off it. Corporate media is a threat to democracy. Zucker should be fired.

Something possibly happening with Mueller case.

A new sealed filing was just issued today in US. v. Michael Cohen. It's odd since it happened the same day his House Intel testimony was just pushed back to the 28th.

Some are speculating another indictment. Others are saying he's cooperating more.

Sadly, Trump's approval will go up.

Obviously the SOTU was horrible and terrifying. Working with terrorists, a new nuclear arms race, the constant fear mongering and riling up his base over abortion lies.

But his base and right-leaning independents will grab those abortion comments and boost their approval of him, completely ignoring the horrible shutdown he caused.

I'm really getting tired of Dems destroying each other.

Dems can take the moral high road without expecting our candidates to be the Second Coming of Jesus.

Meanwhile on the Republican side:
2 indicted Republicans got re-elected. Gym Jordan got re-elected and his scandal isn't even talked about anymore. Steve King is still in Congress. Kavanaugh lied under Oath and got on the Supreme Court. Traitor Devin Nunes got re-elected. Treason caucus members Ron DeSantis got Florida governor and Matt Gaetz, and Mark Meadows got re-elected. Medicare Fraud Rick Scott got in the Senate. Lynching is cool Cindy-Hyde Smith got elected. Martha McSally lost her election and still got a seat in the Senate. Trump is still in office.

Dems being the good guys is really not working out so well.

NBC/WSJ Poll today - Trump approval 43%. WTH?

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/27/trump-faulted-for-government-shutdown-nbc-wsj-poll.html?yptr=yahoo

What is up with these polls? 2 polls this week showed him at 34 and 37%. Today an NBC poll puts him back up 43%?


It's ridiculous how many horrible, criminal things he can do and nobody cares.

Interesting point about Mueller Today.

Purely speculation and we have no idea what might happen, but apparently Mueller met with the grand jury today. As you may be aware, Mueller grand jury days are almost always on Fridays.

The last time Mueller met with the grand jury on a Thursday, he released the indictments on the 12 GRU agents the next day.

It will be interesting to see if that pattern happens again, or if this is just Mueller trying to squeeze in time before Grand juries start losing funding.

Which Presidential Candidate would you most like to work for?

Thinking of trying to get in with a Presidential campaign since I'm having no luck working for Congress. Kamala Harris just announced her bid and her office is going to be 20 minutes away from me.

But do I want to commit to her campaign over Warren or some others who might enter the ring (Beto?) Tough decision.

Watch Rachel

Chuck Rosenberg is saying he thinks the wording of the Mueller statement is that the Buzzfeed report is likely true at its core, based on court filings but they're trying to keep some of it under wraps for investigative purposes.

Republican, PA-12.

Very bizarre considering he just got sworn in again 2 weeks ago. Why did he run for office in November just to quit now? Something suspicious going on.
