Socialism. We reject it utterly for, however well-intended, it leads in one direction only: to the erosion and finally the destruction of the democratic way of life.

The @AndrewGillum headlines are very misleading. He was not in a seedy motel by himself. He was at high-end hotel with friends for a wedding. They were all intoxicated, as everyone in weddings are. Even if there was meth, it was on the floor. There were at least 3 people in room.

According to Mueller report, Russians spent $100,000 on 3500 FB ads. The Trump campaign spent *$97 MILLION* on *5.9 MILLION* FB ads. What the Russians did is a horrible attack on our democracy, but the lack of context in reporting on this is absurd
