will DoD’s Esper also be fired for declaring yesterday that the “pentagon protects its service members from retribution?”
‘course he also said back in November that lt col vindman  “shouldn’t have fear of retaliation – that’s DoD’s position. No retaliation – that’s the law.”
here’s IMpotus today

Â
Fake News @CNN & MSDNC keep talking about “Lt. Col.” Vindman as though I should think only how wonderful he was. Actually, I don’t know him, never spoke to him, or met him (I don’t believe!) but, he was very insubordinate, reported contents of my “perfect” calls incorrectly, &…
Donald J. Trump

….was given a horrendous report by his superior, the man he reported to, who publicly stated that Vindman had problems with judgement, adhering to the chain of command and leaking information. In other words, “OUT”.

…the long wait for a poll after last night’s debate.  If Amy doesn’t get a bump and Pete doesn’t get a dip, i’ll be disappointed.Â
Ha! Love seeing the crab hat!
After last night’s response from Liz about billionaires (and billionaire donors—lookin’ at you, Mayor Pete), I don’t see a Mike/Liz ticket.   Amy would be a great asset to anyone’s ticket.  Looking forward to the Nevada debate. Â
Watching Amy in Durham on @cspan. She’s really on her game, think she can beat Biden for 4th place Tuesday, maybe even tie Liz for 3d.Â
That would be great and maybe just saynotojoe will get out
Really sweet pic at Amy’s Durham event today on CSPAN, little girl told her she liked that Amy didn’t interrupt people in debate last night “like others did”Â
As a Warren supporter, I’m surprised to find that I’m perfectly comfortable with Klobuchar after last night’s  debate.

Rachel Dratch may be very busy on SNL for the next 4 to 8 years.  Amy has raised another $1 million, thanks to last night’s debate.Â

It will be Monday before any real polls come out and the tracking polls all clear out the predebate numbers.
But Amy did do a good job, imo kind of came across as a Margret Thatcher with a humor and a heart. Not a bad place to position yourself.
other thoughts about last night and I only watched through the first 2 breaks.Â
Steyer looked like a goof as he came out, Yang’s walk out looked like he was auditioning for a remake of Revenge of The Nerds. Time to send them home. But Biden looked just as lost. All three looked irrelevant in the first 15 minutes. Amy had a great first 15 as did Mayor Pete the difference is Amy has enough substance to last , as the debate wore on Mayor Pete’s small townness was showing and he was looking like a lost child.
Liz was Liz. Basically a one trick pony that wants to lecture you more then inspire.Â
Bernie read the same stump speech he has read for the last 5 or 6 years. He doesn’t deviate from it.

Stalin comparisons are much more valid than Hitler ones.
Lol, Joe Walsh JUST found out the GOP is a cult. How perceptive.
Oh- i thought last night was Biden’s best debate, yet. 🤷‍♂️
Bink
I think he still had the illusion that there was a republican party that could express conservative ideas. From what I heard the Trumpster cult members flooded his Iowa watch party and gave him a dose of reality. Now he has joined the Never Trumper party, it is made up of the folks who lied to themselves about the party they belonged to. They still believe the old republican party had an intellectual basis. Of course we all know it never did. But I welcome their efforts to defeat Trump. They are able to do some of the dirty stuff that will let the Democratic candidate keep his hands clean.
Jack
Bink, “Stalin comparisons are much more valid than Hitler ones.” Yep. Either one. Most know of the latter.
The way i see it, nominating Bloomberg is fighting dirty.
That iowa/4chan stuff is a good example of how good people just aren’t capable of stooping to the level of conservative misanthropes and apathetic internet trolls.
I’m revved up for all Dem candidates to speak at NH party dinner to 8,000 voters, live now on CSPAN

Notice that none of these accomplishments were attributed to non-Whites, and to be completely honest not one can be attributed to any trumps.Â

In his editorial New Rule, Bill calls out Republicans over their undemocratic behavior and warns that when republics fall, they do so quietly.

too bad the Friday massacre isn’t followed-up depleting WH, SoS & DoD with massive resignations of righteous indignation
Bert’s Bar sounds like a fun place, and I’m curious about the rest of the bumper sticker: “Friends don’t let friends eat ???RTED shrimp”

Sue, You had your chance to do the right thing, but decided to side with Trumpsky.  Don’t you dare try to make the AMERICAN people believe you have any concern about Trumpsky’s post-trial behavior.  Â
Go, Amy, go!

The only thing/person not mentioned was Hitler. That dictator started in some way. And this looks to me like how it was done. Scary times! Tribe said the ways to take out a president are impeachment, vote him out or take him out.
