The Democrats in congress must start saying this about the Republican party.

The Republican party no longer wants to serve the American people, They want to rule them. There are many examples they can use to back that up. The democrats must get tougher. The truth is on their side. The republican party no longer believes in democracy and that is a fact. They will ignore an attack on American in order to keep power.

The democrats must attack with great malice. The Republican party has become the biggest threat to our country and the democrats should do something about that. Stop playing politics and defend your country.

"Retrumplican Party" when speaking about Retrumplicans.

It rolls perfectly off the tongue, ties them to Donnie Short Fingers and is a perfect stick in the eye response to a fucking party that has used "Democrat" party in lockstep for over 20 years now.

So disciplined has their use of Democrat Party been, that you now have folks in the MSM regularly using it.

Fuck them. Donnie Shit for brains needs to be tied around their necks like a dead chicken.

Retrumplican does that.

If Trump was a Democrat, the Republicans would've been all over this! This would've been the end to the Democratic party. The Republicans would've never let the Dems steal a Supreme Court Justice nomination, because they fight. The Dems need to grow a spine! they need to stand up for the people! Call the Republicans out for obstructing the Russia investigation! You're either with the United States or you're with Russia! Call out Trump for not imposing the sanctions that were passed. Call out Scott Walker for refusing to hold elections over vacated seats in Wisconsin! Call out the Republicans for all their Gerrymandering & voter suppression! Call out the Trump administration for putting their own business before the country/American people! Call out their corruption! I hear none of this! Where are the Dems!!!!! Time to stand up and defend our country!!! If they continue to sit back & wait for Trump to implode, we will have four more years of Trump.

10. They're busy emailing everyone for money

I kid you not. Every single day - at least 4 or 5 times a weeks - I get emails from the DNC begging me to donate money. Yes I've donated before but I'm on a fixed income and I can't afford to donate very often. I'm not on the "big spenders" list so I assume the big spenders are getting way more requests than I am.

It's getting to the point of Spam and I refuse to reply to their emails any more.

Absolutely true!

The republican party no longer believes in democracy.
Absolutely true!

Republicans will ignore an attack on American in order to keep power.
Obviously true!

The Republican party has become the biggest threat to our country.
Absolutely true!

Again: The Republican Party does not believe in or defend democracy. Serious situation.

Did you see the recent video of Feinstein with Trump? I shuddered.....knew what might happen in the future, since Trump doesn't keep his word. Feinstein was giddy with all of Trump's promises about gun control, but a day later found out the truth. He was just saying what people wanted to hear.

We need to stop falling for these tricks, getting smart, and getting critical and bold. Only Steyer and Schiff seem to be carrying the buckets right now. And a couple of others, I think...someone actually proposed articles of impeachment, which of course went nowhere, but he did SOMETHING. Maxine Waters is out there, not mincing words, reclaiming her time! They got rid of Franken, or he'd be speaking out, like before ("Sessions was lying.&quot Where's Gillibrand, who wants to be President? (crickets) How about the other Dems who want to be President? (crickets)

Leaders lead. They don't stay in the corner and wait for it to be safe to speak out.

They sicken me when they refer to them as my friend across the aisle.

I don't know how anyone could be friends with EVIL LYING REPUBLICANS politicians.

They have made it abundantly clear that they hate the people in this country.

They have made it perfectly clear that corporations are their only concern.

FUCK THEM ALL !!!!!

Even Colbert's segment with ranking members last night showed a need to say: "mum's the word". Not sure that works this time - AGAIN!
