bc of the multitude of such beautiful customer care consultants at a 'particular' merchant there. Online, in select stores, in catalogs. 🤗
Their recording says they'll help you in their friendly mid-western sort of way. And that's an understatement!

My hub is big 'n' tall and he's outfitted from stem to stern and everything in between. I give clothes away that I get tired of looking at. They just won't wear out!

We're currently in the southern half of the States and a freeze is forecast Saturday nite with chance of snow. Oy!

How are y'all faring up there?

The ACTUAL reason that these places that supposedly went for drumpf by "X" points and now have completely turned for ACTUAL Americans, (most often progressive & BEE-LOO) is because HE DIDN'T FUCKING WIN THOSE PLACES IN THE FIRST PLACE!! He WAS INSTALLED. ARGUE if you want to BUT I will NEVER believe that the putin, stank Azz Assange, Wikileaks, guccifer, etc not ONLY suppressed the vote BUT FLIPPED it in certain IMPORTANT STATES & PLACES! It's very easy to understand when a person actually engages their brain & uses even the most basic logic. He DID NOT WIN these places...PERIOD.

Add a few hundred over here, disappear a few hundred over there and a close win for her becomes a close steal for him.

CA alone was enough to account for her popular margin. Assumptions in the Midwest were fatal.

I think Michigan was only 10,000 or so over to Trump.

Comey's email gambit and Cambridge Analytica/Facebook Russian bots could account for that.

I post these often:

Hillary didn't lose because she was less POPULAR. She lost because of James Comey's letters and because of some even more important factors -- more important because they're not going away. They will be used against us in every election going forward, unless we can stop them.

The big problems are voter suppression, Russian meddling, and targeted voter propaganda through Twitter, Google, Facebook, and other forms of social media. There is no question that the Trump campaign, through Cambridge Analytica, did this -- and that the Russians did this. The only question is how much they conspired together in the propaganda campaign.

We need to figure out how to defend the democratic process from fake news and micro-targeted AI propaganda -- or lose our democracy. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029576691



Here is how they stole the election, well this and KGB operatives V Crosscheck in action:

PALMER: Rigged election: Donald Trump won every surprise swing state by the same 1% margin
http://www.palmerreport.com/opinion/rigged-election-donald-trump-won-every-surprise-swing-state-by-the-same-1-margin/118/

The most commonly posited explanation of Donald Trump’s shocking election victory was that every professional pollster in the nation – despite each working independently and using differing methodologies – somehow managed to overlook the same pockets of Trump voters in these states. If such pockets did exist, they would have existed in varying sizes in each of the four states, thus resulting in different sized wins in each.

Ask any statistician and they’ll tell you that a reasonable distribution of the results would have been Trump winning one of the states by one percent, won one of them by perhaps three percent, won one of them by two percent, lost one of them by one percent, or something along those lines. But instead the voting tallies looked startlingly different from any natural distribution. In fact they looked startlingly the same.

According to the New York Times, the voting results broke down like this: Trump won Florida by just over one percent of the vote. He also won Pennsylvania by just over one percent. He won Michigan by just under one percent. And he won Wisconsin by precisely one percent. That’s not how numbers tend to work in the real world.

On its own, this kind of suspiciously consistent numerical dispersion across the four states that decided the election would be something that could be written off as a mere fluke. But when you put it within the context of the numerous other ways in which the voting tallies make no mathematical sense, it points to the numbers having been rigged or altered.

I believe that leaders in both parties know this... I keep remembering the stricken looks on DiFi and Maxine's faces after confidential meetings...

I think they know but/and are uber concerned with managing this information to avoid bloody civil war in this country. In a sense, are coordinating with Mueller, to disclose this gradually, to keep the crazy rightists from bearing their automatic weapons in the streets...

This is further confirmed for me by the disclosures yesterday that Mueller will be issuing a report about trumpe and obstruction in June/July. They don't want to shock the system., but are letting us get used to the idea gradually.

It is also consistent with Obama not coming out forcefully (which was a mistake, in my opinion) in 2016 to let us know about the extent of Russian meddling. He didn't want to do it without Mitch, so it would appear nonpartisan. I bet he's regretting it now.

In a sense they don't trust us with the truth in another sense, I believe they fear for the public response...a potential civil war.

Now, where did I leave my tinfoil hat....! 😉

ALSO win that side bet, (& this comes from a woman who DOES NOT GAMBLE-I'm terrible at anything that involves cards, dice, etc AND I'm too cheap..lol ...MOVING RIGHT ALONG), I DO believe that the leaders of both parties KNEW but for whatever reason, had their hands tied behind their backs. I'm going to go out of a very weak limb and say something I've believed from Jump Street. Before all of this is said and done, NOT ONLY will the treason extend their tentacles throughout the gop BUT throughout the fabric of America, INCLUDING but certainly NOT limited to state governments, (in gop controlled states), BILLIONAIRES, (the names are WELL known), the CYBERWORLD, beyond pin headed lying morons like alex jones, russian troll squads in Macedonia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, etc, etc , racist & islamophobic groups, THROUGHOUT the world & many people will be walking on their lower lips when certain names are are revealed. The way I explained it to my husband using a the metaphor of a cross between a hydra AND an octopus.

I've gotten polled a bunch of times in the last 2 months or so, the most recent CLEARLY for my RepubliCON Congressman. Some of the questions made it clear they are paying attention:

* whether beefing up background checks and some other unimpressive thing re guns would be enough
* whether they should help Trump pass his agenda or serve as a check on him
* several others that clearly showed they see some of what's going on and are trying to understand it.

But yeah, I think the party should take a hard left if that's what you want to call it.

The American people are in favor of single payer health care for all, legal cannabis, prescription drug price controls, 15 dollar minimum wage, common sense gun control, assault weapon ban, just to name a few.

Run on that and revolutionize America for the worker and the common citizen!
