2. You're right, it's coming!

Finally!

13. Oh, I missed this earlier.

Glad that I found time to catch up on videos.

3. K&R!

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Agreed, Rachel's show was awesome tonight!

[SheltieLover]

5. Great news!

Ty for posting!

[Rhiannon12866]

7. I particularly liked hearing from Mary Trump and NYT's Suzanne Craig

I have Mary Trump's book and Suzanne Craig was one of the reporters who was responsible for the record long 2018 NYT exposee of previous Trump family financial shenanigans - using documents they obtained from Mary Trump.

8. Sweet!

Thx for sharing!

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I recommend Mary Trump's book highly

I have it on audio (read by the author), listen to it in my car and I'm currently listening to it for the second time.

6. Nice to see Rachel smiling!

Sweet, sweet schadenfreude!

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I can't imagine the time and effort that went into tonight's report, but I think it was worth it!

Like always, Rachel can take the most complicated issue and explain it simply and clearly enough so that anyone can understand it!

11. The media needs to replay trump telling Hillary at one of the debates this,

When exposed for paying zero taxes his reply to her was because he was so smart. Media needs to play that clip every night for people to see and hear from his own words until they're all convicted for it.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. I remember and I agree!

Like Mary Trump said, he's not nervous because he's always gotten away with it before - to the point of boasting about it!

14. Late K&R.

I'm slowly catching up on videos.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Did you see this one - also from Rachel Maddow - and a story from Texas?

This was her main story on Friday, a Texas resident arrested after waiting 6 1/2 hours to vote in the Democratic primary, only to be arrested and held on $100,000(!) bail because he still had a couple of months left on his parole! But things are looking up for him - thanks to Rachel's national coverage, the support of the ACLU and a GoFundMe appeal on Twitter - he got enough donations/support to be released in a day - with a great deal left over and still counting!
