🧵 I'm reworking an old thread about Clarence and Ginni Thomas from 2018.
The Thomases have a friend named Harlan Crow, a very rich real estate developer who has sculptures of Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin, Karl Marx, Nicolae Ceausescu, Che Guevara, etc. in his backyard garden.
Don’t they say that people vote for the candidate they’d like to have a beer with?

I can’t help but think Dr. Oz’s candidacy has something to do with President Erdogan’s obsession to extradite Fethullah Gülen, the 80+ year old Turkish leader of a religious movement within Sunni Islam called Hizmet that promotes civility & peace, from PA.
I’m really tired of experts & pundits telling us to vote for this person or that person because they can beat Trump.
I’m going to vote for who I think is the best damned candidate in the primary and if they don’t win, I’ll vote for the nominee.
Happily.

The concept of a Constitutional Convention is foreign to many people. Understandable, since we've only had one in the entire history of the United States and it produced The Constitution. So I thought I'd write this thread to try make it understandable to everyone.

Personally, I would keep impeaching him until it sticks or we reach the end of his agonizing term.
Let the Republicans go on record again endorsing rampant corruption. They will pay.
