8. I don't believe I am using Franken for anything.

Sun Jan 7, 2018, 04:41 PM

Jan 2018

I explained that I realized how my anger was easily provoked and after inserting my upset into an otherwise unrelated thread, I realized that this is how the Russians/Republicans divided democrats before. They found issues that were emotional and exploited it.

If I thought I could bring him back, I would only post rallying cries to bring him back.

Instead, I'm starting to realize we are vulnerable to being played by our own emotions.

So, this isn't about how he got screwed. It isn't about how we got screwed. This is about the Russians, the Republicans, and the mid-terms.
