AYFKM!!!???

How many times will I listen to a Rachel intro and find my jaw on the fucking floor!

O.R.W.E.L.L.

Watch the first 15 Min's (and then the rest because she is a fucking genius journalist.)

So she goes over the video, and transcripts of that day in Helsinki. Specifically the question from a Reuters reporter and Putin's obvious response,
It's scrubbed on WH records.....the question on video and partial question on transcript.

1984... in your FACE!

wtf am I to do with this alone, besides the constant assault on our mental health collectively thru propaganda and subversion.

What world am I living in and when can I wake up...dammitt! I guess if I am going to get in better shape for the Apocalypse I can start by knocking on doors? BUT still...this crazy is so wrong!!!

Came home from an HOA meeting and read DU and said, "Holy shit...what now?!". I thought I used up all my "HUH!?!" at the meeting when a neighbor didn't vote due to her losing a ballot from 3 weeks ago and she waited until "election" night to bring this up ("voting" is obviously a big deal to me...especially in this current political environment).

OK Rachel...let me have it. I had a drink, and I am ready to spark one up at 9:00. Tick tock.....

She was being a ditz and had the HOA envelope, instructions, etc. but she said she never got the actual ballot and didn't say anything for three weeks. The meeting was postponed a week since not enough ballots were received and she STILL waited until the actual meeting to let anyone know. If she is this "out of it" for an HOA election I have the feeling that before the midterms may need my assistance or else she will end up mailing it in her with her phone bill envelope.

Bombard them with lies & chaos and neverending traumas and scandals...and soon all will be chaos, and life goes on, with people losing track of all the lies, not knowing what's true or not. And what does it matter. Just another chaotic day.

We must do well in the mid-terms. But Russia is still here, still interfering.

Thought she should have also included video of tRUmp's VFW speech today telling the crowd that what they are seeing and reading isn't what's happening. Totally Orwellian.
