They played Purple Rain at the fucking rally tonight. You know Prince is rolling in his grave (except he was cremated).
First Avenue, which is across the street from Target center, has a big rainbow "Vote in 2020" banner across the front and is donating its proceeds from today to Planned Parenthood.

The baby trump balloon is also on First Ave tonight. It was at the Saloon last night.
If anyone needs a good Like I’m Five bit on Parnas and Furman, Pro Publica breaks it down in this Twitter thread or in the article linked below. It’s craaaaaazy.
Maddow laying it all out is just... wow. None of it is new, we've talked about a lot of it here, but all together without the breaking pieces is overwhelming.
It really is overwhelming. How long has the Republican Party been in bed with these folks? Do I even want to know?
I’m so worried that the appetite for democracy has vanished, that this is it. And I’m mad I didn’t see it coming. We’re joining up with Russia and Turkey for crying out loud. We are the bad guys now.

SCOOP: Indicted pro-TRUMP Ukraine researcher LEV PARNAS told people he paid RUDY GIULIANI hundreds of thousands of dollars to work for his firm, Fraud Guarantee.
Giuliani first seemed to admit working for the firm in 2018, then said he couldn't confirm.
So it pretty much goes without saying then that Firtash has been the one paying Giuliani for his time while he “represents” Trump.
Man, the corruption on these jokers. Now we just need people to...care that foreign oligarchs installed this evil. And demand paper ballots next year.
I know it’s the popular line to take (re: Lindsey Graham et al) that these sudden conversions to Trumpism are because of blackmail but I think it’s relatively clear now that they are just as corrupt. They got cut in on it.
I know I am screaming into an echo chamber, but at what point will his supporters turn?
How likely is it that BOTH of his personal attorneys were doing really bad shit and he wasn’t in any way involved? It’s 100% not likely because he is a shit bag. But seriously, HOW DO PEOPLENSTILL DEFEND HIM?? Fox News, I am looking at you and hold you personally responsible for our country’s downfall.

It’s not that they don’t know. They know exactly what he has done and who he is. The problem is that they think he’s right. They believe that what he is doing is good. I don’t know how you (collective) ever change that line of thinking.

There are ride or die Trump supporters and they will never leave him. They are folks who love the red meet rallies and live firmly in the conservative media system.
However there are what I'd call pros-outweigh-cons folks who make up a critical portion of his coalition who will turn only if the con's increase which they might not. These are people who may dislike Trump personally but like conservative judges/deregulation/chaos because is a ladder/pay-to-play politics or other cracks in access to government that make it easier for them to lobby for week regulation or loop-holes. Basically if Steven Mnuchin, who was a democrat but works happily in this administration, leaves you know this contingency is starting to turn.
