The farther behind Donald Trump has fallen in the competition for campaign dollars, the more he’s milked government resources to make up the difference >>>

Good Morning CoSo and my fellow CoSojourners.

I see we have a few new people who have joined us. Glad to see you all.

Before you post something, ask yourself: "Would Putin like what I'm about to say?" and act accordingly.

Until the first Tuesday in November I intend to start each day here on CoSo with this admonition, mostly to remind myself

I don't hold much hope in this happening at all, but if Chuck Schumer REALLY wants to take a stand, just don't show up.
They have to have a quorum, and they won't have that if the Democrats don't show up.

That piece mentions this piece:

👀 ... I wish he hadn't lose his house to wildfire. I wonder if his perspective will change going forward, though? Guess we'll see...

As a whole, political parties in this country are corrupt as fuck, the system is corrupt, and requires whole sale reconstruction

but we have to win and beat Trump to even get there

So, I've decided to get into Factorio. I'm a big fan of logistic planning type games, even though they have a slanted view of Capital.
This game has a completely different set of skill required.
For example, I have to arrange railroad switches so my automated rail system can deliver raw materials for processing.
Still, a good game so far and apparently a programming training tool to learn about compilers.

Dear Friends and Neighbors on the Progressive Left:

Woodward did the right thing by waiting until now. The journalism of now doesn't always play well, and Bob Woodward is a long form investigative journalist and something sorely needed in this Year of Our Lord 2020.
Whoever wrote that wretched piece at Jacobin needs to get out more.

SS t-shirt and Donald Trump hat. This photo says everything you need to know about why I will never call myself a Republican again. None of them will condemn this. They need the racists to win and support their goals. White nationalism has no place in America.

Veteran and photojournalist Chris Jones took this shot of a man in a Trump hat and an SS shirt at a civil rights rally today in Kingwood, West Virginia

Right-wing pastor Rick Joyner declares that Christians must take a stand against Black Lives Matter because the organization is "the KKK of this time."

GOP: He didn't do it.
Trump: I did it.

GOP: He didn't mean to do it.
Trump: I wish I'd done it sooner.

GOP: He did it for benign reasons.
Trump: I did it for the worst reasons.

GOP: He's sorry.
Trump: I'm never sorry.

GOP: He's chastened.
Trump: I'm doing it again tomorrow.

“Trump held a meeting at Trump Tower with prominent evangelical leaders, where they laid their hands on him in prayer. Afterward, Trump allegedly said: ‘Can you believe that bulls--t? Can you believe people believe that bulls--t?’”

I'm liking what I am seeing with CoSo, but I must be some noob because I've had a few of the Fedis I am on moved to here, I haven't seen any thing from them.
