Who thought it was a good idea to question Jack Smith 35 days before the midterms, to remind voters what "dirt bags" Felon47, and republicans are when they could've used that time to appear to work on issues important to Americans? #VoteBLUE

Yesterday's performance by republicans questioning Jack Smith was stunning. Instead of lauding his efforts to bring Felon47 to justice they turned the tables doing everything they could to make Smith look like a criminal and in the process made themselves look like the gaslighting puppets they are.

Even if Felon47's ads are pulled because, you know, they're illegal, the thing is that they've already been aired, message sent, damage done. The felon's MO is that it's better to apologize than to ask permission. Wait, who are we kidding... he doesn't apologize EVER. #VoteBLUE2SaveDemocracy

From the minute Felon47 took office in 2016, "insiders" who had access to info were saying he wouldn't last a year. Newsletters by former gov't officials were saying he wouldn't last due to health, corruption, whatever and yet here we are. I won't read any newsletter that starts with "he's done".

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
