Welp:
GABBARD: "Both sides have completely hardened their positions and are unwilling to come together and work out the differences. And that's the problem here."

It's time for Mueller to get off the damned pot already.
Mueller is taking too damned long. Whitaker is installed. Barr will soon be installed. The government is shutdown. The president is tweeting racist right-wing shit (prayer rugs!?).
The investigation of whether the President is controlled by Russia is a political question. The investigation needs to be more in the open. It cannot run entirely in the shadows. The public has not been prepped for what is eventually coming.
Mueller doesn't need to issue the report now. He doesn't need to finish now. But he needs to fucking say something!
Why hasn't Stone been indicted? Why not Corsi? Why not Trump Jr.? What the hell is he waiting for?
Why hasn't he subpoenaed Trump already to ask him those questions?! Why has he given Trump all this time to ignore the questions? It is time to get answers to those questions!
We've gone YET ANOTHER WEEK with no fucking indictments! I'm tired of this.
Mueller ALREADY strongly hinted at the claims in the Buzzfeed report
Read, again, what Mueller said in his sentencing memo for Michael Cohen. Reading between the lines, and knowing what Mueller can't yet say, strongly hints that the BUzzfeed story is true.
....
During his proffer sessions, the defendant admitted that this account was false and that he had in fact conferred with Individual 1 about contacting the Russian government before reaching out to gauge Russias interest in such a meeting.
....
Third, Cohen provided relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 20172018 time period.
Fourth, Cohen described the circumstances of preparing and circulating his response to the
congressional inquiries, while continuing to accept responsibility for the false statements contained
within it.
Who are the "persons connected to the White House"? The gardner?
Who did he circulate his false testimony to? The White House chef?

Labour MP: "There is no leftwing justification for Brexit"
Extracts from Labour MP David Lammy's speech:
Friends on this side of the House tell me to appease Labour voters in industrial towns - the former miners, the factory workers, those who feel theyve been left behind. I say we must not patronise them with cowardice, lets tell them the truth - you were old a lie.
Immigrants have not taken your jobs, our schools and colleges failed to give you the skills, hospitals are not crumbling because of health tourists but decades of austerity that ground them down to the bone, you cannot afford a house because both parties failed to build, not because of Mohammed down the road who moved in, and wealth was hoarded in London when it should have been shared across the country.
Blame us, blame Westminster, do not blame Brussels for our own countrys mistakes and do not be angry at us for telling you the truth, be angry at the chancers who sold you a lie ...
Just as I speak plainly to the government this time around, let me also speak to the pposition about some home truths. There is no leftwing justification for Brexit.
Ditching workers rights, social protections and ending environmental cooperation is not progressive.
This is a project about neo-liberal deregulation, its Thatcherism on steroids pushed by her modern-day disciples.
Leaving the EU will not free us from the injustices of global capitalism, it will make us subordinate to Trumps US.

#BoycottTrumpsAddress is trending on Twitter
The hashtag #BoycottTrumpsAddress is trending on Twitter (at least for me, people can sometimes see different items). Twitter lists it at 26.9K tweets. Some examples, without links:
Trump will read it while implementing his own falsehoods
And whoever broadcasts this without fact checking it beforehand, are just as complicit as the GOP is
#BoycottTrumpsAddress
We do not need more lies, more racism, more hate, more chaos, more propaganda, more abuse of power, more of the Trump shutdown.
Schumer and Pelosi should counter the "national emergency" nonsense now
From CNN:
https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/1081945657412186112
The Democrats need to start setting the counter narrative now. This is an unprecedented and dangerous move from the President. They need to have a bill ready in the House that would cancel any called national emergency. They can cancel it, if they override a veto (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emergencies_Act , including the note near the bottom about requiring a joint resolution). I realize it would struggle in the Senate, but it would help set the narrative.
They need to plan for legal challenges against this.
They should not allow the GOP propaganda artists set the expectation that this is OK.
