Who misses Sarah?

Yeah, I know that nobody raised their hand - and there's probably a lot that didn't even open this thread.
Guess what? I think that was part of another plan by IQ45 and his sneaky/screw-you plan for his dictatorship - DO NOT TELL THEM ANYTHING!

Fortunately for us, we still do live in a democracy (much of "how long" depends on YOU!) and there are defenders of it that are going to battle every day for us. Susan Glasser is from "The New Yorker" and offers the following column - it shows the "distraction game" that IQ45 has working so well - "Look, there's something shiny!" - and what that means to us - and our democracy.

Please read it!

we're NOT getting more lies - or the opportunity to ASK the questions (and especially the "follow-up&quot about things they do not want to discuss.
There is no flow of information - we're counting on "leaks" - and that is definitely something that Russia specializes in.

The Democrats are now informing us too with daily press conferences, Twitter comments, talk show rounds, and emails. They’re taking full advantage of all the modes of communication now.

It’s quite deliberate. The only “official” White House comments to the press are now given by Trump as he trots off to his rallies.

Fortunately for us the Democratic Party leaders have discovered the power of Twitter and their daily press conferences and talk show rounds. Thank od for that!
