Everyone knows Trump's "racism ploy" is just to compete with Mueller's testimony next week, right?

Trump knows full well what it would mean for Mueller's testimony before Congress to be the only media event next week. He's going to create a ten ring circus to keep people from caring about Mueller. He wants Mueller's testimony to be one of many "shows" going on next week.

and as pervasive as it was in the early 20th century.

The Republicans have already decimated a lot of women’s hard fought and hard won rights, headed full speed to the Supreme Court to put systemic inequality back in place. These attacks coming from individual states don’t seem so bad, but they are bad. Cumulatively deadly in their intentions. If you aren’t a white male you have a great deal to worry about when it comes to your rights. Ocasio-Cortez’s simple declaration, “We will not go back!” must be taken up by every man or woman of every race who believes.

Yep. We are running out of money much much sooner than anticipated. I mean really, who could have guessed this would happen. It will also happen before Congress returns in September. McTurtle wants to cut SS and Medicare/Medicaid to "stop the shortfall."

Maybe a missile strike to a suspected food bank. That'll give that darn old MSM something to talk about other than Mueller playing dodge ball with the House committees.
