Bernie's second go at the presidency has brought me out of hibernation, but despite my previous existence as a Bernie stan, haven't decided who to ultimately support yet.

I shouldn't be petty, but it sure is nice seeing Kraft take an L for once.

[We Should Be Better Than This @ByAllAccounts]

Tadaaaaaa!

Trump supporters always ignore the bigger picture, though. No surprise there.

Hate crimes in the US (2016-2018): 21,000

Hate crime hoaxes in the US (2016-2018): 50

What Smollett did was wrong but the big problem isn’t the .2% which are hoaxes, it’s the hate crimes which have risen 20% since Trump took office.

With so many people (and more yet to come) in the Democratic field, I would like to see more Republicans step up to take on a weak incumbent. Not to win, mind you, just to muddy the waters on what you know is a fractured Right.

"Trump doesn't really mean all the things he says," as if that's somehow a positive he should be given credit for.

Thank goodness Charles isn't in charge.

I'm no Megyn Kelly fan, but anyone who tells it like it is with Trump is a friend of mine this election cycle.

I question sanity if one doesn't think corporations dumping huge amounts of money into our candidates isn't a huge conflict of interest #USA

@JTShields93 But we don't have to stay silent and allow their stupidity to rule the air, either!

When someone says the term "Liberal Fascism" I automatically hear instead "I am mentally incapable of having an intelligent discussion."
