While things look hopeful right now, Thom Hartman injects some reality. Dark money from Israel has already taken down at least two progressive Dems.

Will Democracy Survive the Tsunami of Rightwing Dark Money Coming this Fall?

If Democrats survive the onslaught that’s coming and emerge victorious at the federal level, the first order of business next year must be to strip the cancer of dark money out of our body politic...

A billion dollars is, to state the obvious, a lot of money. If Jeff Bezos were to fill a sack with $5,000 every day—365 days a year—and hand it over to you, he would only exhaust one billion dollars after 548 years (and still have $203 billion left).

To put that into perspective, 548 years ago was 1476, quite some time before Columbus landed in America.

Cheat-O was in a helicopter with JERRY Brown and it didn't land in an emergency.

That Time Trump Nearly Died in a Helicopter Crash? Didn’t Happen. In a news conference, the former president recounted a brush with death alongside Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor. A few aspects of the story don’t hold up to scrutiny.

August 9 is the ten-year anniversary of the killing of Michael Brown and the start of the Ferguson Uprising.

For many, the first glimpse of Ferguson was a sign, handwritten on a torn piece of cardboard, held by a middle-aged Black man in a tank top and jeans: “Ferguson police just executed my unarmed son!!!” The photo was posted to an Instagram account, now deleted, and circulated throughout social media on the afternoon of August 9, 2014.

Cheato-O's mind is deteriorating as fast as his chances of winning without cheating in November.

His bizarre press conference was a stream of lies and word salad nonsense.

Bidniz was unusual for the weird Orange Demented One.
Oh, and then there was the line about him being "very protective" of Hillary Clinton.

Lock him up all right - in psycho ward.
