Do you have a secret plan?
The President of the United States is the primary source of "fake news."

Seriously, I'm currently reading "Nicholas Nickleby" and it's nearly 800 pages. Hope to finish it sometime next month.
THIS Congress won't act. Our priority now is not only the midterms, but ensuring that Trump and his minions don't steal the election. Vote out every Republican you can.

Having just seen "Event Horizon" for the second time at the 24 Hour SF Marathon in Somerville, Mass. -- I reviewed it when it came out -- you have my sincere condolences.

Her shrewd move would be to run for Schumer's seat, regardless of whether Schumer retires. She's got a bright future but not getting elected president in 2028.
He was not convicted of "rape." He WAS held liable for sexual assault in a civil trial. The judge in that case likened it to rape.
