Clinton campaign, DNC helped fund Trump dossier research, report says - CNNPolitics

Josh Marshall-

As I explained last night, the Democratic party’s top election lawyer, Marc Elias, deserves some kind of vast national, public thank you since his decision to fund the Fusion GPS/Steele research likely played a key role in blocking the ‘grand bargain’ and policy payoffs to Russia which President Trump was hoping to make in January and February of this year.

Trump Blows Past Russia Sanctions Deadline | Crooks and Liars

Trump doesn't carry out the law against Russia then he is a puppet of Putin.  A clear and present danger to the Constitution by the actions of Russia and Trump's failure to do his oath meets the bar of impeachment.

Can A Pro-Choice, Pro-Immigrant, Climate Change Believer Beat Roy Moore In Alabama? – Talking Points Memo

"...Jon Ossoff finished his campaign in a hotly contested House race in Georgia, carefully emphasizing centrism and cutting government waste...."   This is how NOT to motivate the progressive base, especially in a low voter turn out off presidential year race. 



BTW- Why not have a aspect of campaigning advertising which pokes fun at the opponent which emphasizes social issues.  I imagine a campaign spot on the fact that the conservative candidate is the Gladys Kravitz, Bewitched TV show, who is perpetually peeking into the neighbor's house in order to be outraged at the neighbor's private behavior.

Another historical example is the old radio series Superman.  In a story by Stetson Kennedy called "Clan of the Fiery Cross" Superman takes on a organization loosely based on the KKK.  It satirized the KKK's rituals before a national audience.

Finally, humor could be a much more effective means to tell voters that conservatives are humorless ideologues that cannot govern because their ideas are based on being selfish (i.e. "greed is good").  The scenes with Governor Lepetomane are priceless in showing the corruption of government for greed.

Trump: Fake News Is Even Worse Than Recent Poll Shows! – Talking Points Memo

It is time the corporate media tells the public that Trump and his followers are undermining the 1st Amendment.  The fundamental right of having a free press without having Republican government "minders" or "having a government license" to be a journalist.
