Can you believe that? If they did this, then the Republicans have impugned themselves for all time; which they have done anyway by approving the worst cabinet appointments ever made.
No-one should have any doubt, IMO, that the Republicans are a menace to democracy and all American values.
Debate in the Senate is being silenced. How long before the USA becomes Russia, or Syria?
-- l thought Sessions was up 4 AG. Anyhow it's good he wasn't confirmed, unlike Bimbo Betsy
& Bernie read the letter so it's all good

Who keeps bringing it up, Mary? Hillary might also have been that leader. We'll never know.

He is our real leader.
-- yeah l bring up Bernie. I'll cop to that. He's still relevant. X asked where our George Washington is. Others have asked in different threads where our Franklin Roosevelt is. Answer- he got screwed over last yr & we got stuck with the Donald. This 4T is taking us down a different path
The voters chose Hillary. I'm not sure Bernie could have beat Trump (9-4), going by Bernie's current 14-7 score on my system. If anything, if I make any changes, his score is more likely to go down than up. And if that happens (I have no plans to further change my system now, but it's always fuzzy around the edges as any number system is), then IF Hillary's Jupiter rising (assuming I chose the right chart for her) is worth 10 points, then she's about equal with Bernie on my system anyway.
But it looks like Trump had the numbers to win on my system, and that the other main indicator that favored the party in power only applied to the popular vote. We're stuck with The Donald, so the only hope for regeneracy lies with the opposition.
-- l thought Bernie was a 10-0
Remember, that system was from earlier years, but this year I did more thorough research and revised the scores.

I still give some weight to my "traditional" score and traditional meanings in my points for the aspects; but give primary significance to the more thorough and more careful later empirical research and counting of the aspects and the candidates who had/have them. All 3 of these major 2016 candidates went down in their scores at the end of the process from what they had been.
