On Madison Avenue in the 80s, the legendary 3-martini lunch was:
-Elevator to street
-Two blocks south to Roosevelt Hotel
-Bar on the Grand Central concourse
-$10 on the bar = 3 martinis + $2.50 tip
-Back to work

In 2016, the Trump admin absorbed all of President Obama's Twitter followers on and -- at Team 44's urging.
In 2020, Twitter has informed us that as of right now the Biden administration will have to start from zero.

I’ve said myself I think we’re locked in for a right-wing resurgence of some sort in 2022, if only because that’s how congressional midterms have generally worked in the past decade.
Just how right-wing remains to be seen.

That politicians who have spent months downplaying #COVID’s risks are getting vaccinated before front-line health care workers drives home how little a price they pay for their hypocrisy—unlike those who listen to them but can’t get the vaccine. The only remedy is the ballot box.

Fox News should have suspended or fired Tucker Carlson a 1000 dangerous comments ago, but casting doubt against the vaccine, while the virus it prevents decimates our population, that is dastardly, irresponsible, and criminal. is letting his star kill Americans.

Here’s why.
Because the remediation for presidential crime and abuse of power is impeachment.
You don’t do it (or not do it) because it’s politically expedient.
You do it because it’s required.
If you don’t, then crime and abuse of power is something presidents can do.

There is no chance the US military will help Trump overturn the elections. But that he's actually asking about it, and that it's not being condemned immediately by every GOP official, is sickening and dangerous.

Are you kidding? His own Secretary of State, a full loyalist, already admitted it was Russia! When I said in 2017 that Trump had more Russian connections than Aeroflot, this is what I was worried about.

He did it in Helsinki, and he’s doing it again.
The President of the United States is minimizing an attack against our nation and defending Russia at the expense of protecting our country and security.
It’s as astounding and dangerous as it is expected from this President.

Over the past 9 months, 651 billionaires in America became over $1 trillion richer.
During the same time, the working class, the elderly and the disabled were told to survive on just a $1,200 check.
$1 trillion for billionaires. One $1,200 check for the rest. That is immoral.

Trump hates his job. He's bad at his job. He doesn't even do his job.
But he wants to keep it, anyway, as a shield from prosecution & weapon against his enemies. Republicans allow it because they don't care about solving problems.

The mere fact that the President of the United States is considering a military coup is alarming. That would mean the end of America as we know it.
Let’s not mince words here. Using “martial law” to overturn the election is a coup. It’s beyond unconstitutional. It’s evil.
