PROGRESSIVE DISCUSSION - LABOR DAY - SEPTEMBER 30

For those who didn't already know, CNN is airing the documentary "RBG" on September 9. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a wonderful film.

Fall is definitely in the air in ND. My favorite season.

JA kids just can't stay out of trouble on twitter. LOL..I'm not on Twitter, but read here & there what they have tweeted. Are they so clueless, that they think they will not get hammered on Twitter for their ridicoulous statements. There are so many funny comments on their tweets.

I hope Donnie Jr. is the next one Mueller goes after. Maybe the way to finally get thru to JA is thru his kids. But then again, maybe he would throw them under the bus too. Maybe the boys, but never Ivanka, I don't think.

I'm pretty sure Heidi Heidkamp (D) Senator, will be voting for Kavanaugh. Which makes me wonder if I really even want to give her my vote in November. The Republican Crammer will NEVER get my vote, for sure, but, since ND is a Red state, it will be interesting to see if Heidkamp can pull off a win in ND. She sides with JA more often than not to appease the Republicans in ND. That just irked me to no end. She already stated she does not want Obama anywhere near her campaign. UGH!...I'm not to sure she would even vote to impeach JA if she did win. So, I'm really struggling with giving her my vote or not. Any wisdom out there to help me sort this thru?

Thanks Joyce for your input. We do have paper ballots here, so, there may be a write in space on them. I know Heidi voted for Gorsich (sp?) & from the email responses I have gotten from her, she is leaning towards Kavanaugh. But the way JA slammed her yesterday when he was in ND, you would think she wouldn't give him his nominee, but I suppose in order to keep her Senate seat she has to pander to the ND GOP. I'll have to watch & see how close the race is between her & Crammer.

@lka5, I appreciate your struggle with your Heidkamp vote. With all that's on the line, what kind of dem would vote for BK? Elected officials (on both sides) giving up their principle values in order to keep their seats, is one of the biggest travesties of the JA era. It's surely among the most consequential perversions of politics.

Linda I also loved Obama's speech. If he's going to be a foil for the JA anyway, why not make it really count right? It was great.

Luanne, I had forgotten I recorded RBG - thanks for the heads up.

The JA is calling Bob Woodward an idiot. LOL! We should all be such idiots as Woodward. Republicans, truly does this man in the Oval not embarrass you? He embarrasses me for our entire country. He's sitting in the office of the president, but he's not a president. He has no concept of what it takes to be the leader of the free world. Absolutely no concept at all, and doesn't even care. But Republicans, you should care. We all need to care. After all this country belongs to us all. We don't all have to agree, but we do all have to ultimately want what is best for the country, and I can't see that at all in Trump. If anyone can, that person must have super power vision.

It was laughable this morning when KAC was on with Jake Tapper. Woodward spoke with multiple people, including admittedly KAC, to get an interview with the JA which he was unable to do. So KAC suggests that perhaps he should have called the WH switchboard. LOL! You can't make this stuff up!

Joyce, I did see the Sasse interview from yesterday. He's interesting, yes, but, I think when push comes to shove, he'll try to save JA from Impeachment. He's also an Evangelical (Do a google search of his religious belief & how this came about) & a Kavanaugh supporter. He is a voice of reason, as far as bipartisanship goes but when push comes to shove, those that speak out are either leaving the party & not up for re-election anytime soon. They all talk a good game, but never back it up with any kind of actions that have an impact on their party or the President. So, my conclusion like yours was, he has some good common sense ideas that will never see the light of day. He should go Independent with his ideas, but he never will. Independents don't seem to make much headway when running for office & IMHO I think thats too bad, because I think it should be more than a 2 party country. But of course, that means all that campaign money would have to be divided, & god forbid, the Republican & yes, even the Democratics would not want that. I personally always thought that each person running for office should only be allowed so much money & see how creative they can be in running a campaign on that. Maybe that would give us some idea on how well they would run the country & spend our tax $$$. Of course, campaign finance laws are so corrupt now, never going to happen. But I still dream common sense ideas...LOL
