[napkinz]

8. drumpf is trying his best to get HRC killed.

Is there a worse person in the entire world, truly?

[Fast Walker 52]

15. I'm sure there are worse in the world, but he is a dangerous and very sick man

[napkinz]

21. forget deplorable

He's deranged, demented, and dangerous.

[Different Drummer]

27. "Is there a worse person in the entire world, truly?"

As Keith Olbermann might say, "Donald Trump...today's...worst...person...in the world."

[blondie58]

9. And for the Secret Service

To pay a visit to the orange yam.

[Fast Walker 52]

16. that's apparently not enough-- he needs to be stopped NOW

this is unacceptable. THREE TIMES now he has done this

[Andy823]

10. K&R nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Why is nothing being done about this? Unreal...

[napkinz]

19. because, as the MSM have made clear, we have to focus on the real crisis facing the nation

Hillary's EMAILS!

[love_katz]

12. Huge kick and rec.

[Scarsdale]

13. Why?

Why would the repubs start acting now? They have done next to nothing for over 7 years, waiting for one of their own to be installed in the WH. Any way possible, no matter how vile. Too bad all the deadwood can not be cleared out of DC. The repub. "leadership" is useless and lazy.

[Fast Walker 52]

14. I am so freaking mad-- this is the THIRD time

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE.

[napkinz]

20. any other candidate would have been disqualified the FIRST time ...

[Fast Walker 52]

23. So, like, WTF!?!?!?!!

[napkinz]

24. his supporters and surrogates say he was being sarcastic

BOTH times

[Fast Walker 52]

25. I'm sure they do... "that Donald, such a card"

whereas normal people can see he's a sick sick man.

[napkinz]

37. a sick man with a sick following ... his riled up deplorables

and as another member had pointed out in another thread, they are well-armed

[Bozvotros]

17. Has the Drumpfster made any tweets recently about how a terror attack might be good for his polls?

Just wondering, you know.....

[Wednesdays]

34. Good for his polls, and good for distracting from a disastrous week

He knows the M$M and its followers have an attention span of twelve seconds.

[napkinz]

45. yep ... the Bondi-Bribery/Foundation Scandal, the Birther Debacle, the Assassination "Joke"

all have been pushed aside to cover the explosion in NY

[Stuart G]

18. k and r

[wncHillsupport]

26. Would one of you 'senior' members mind

cluing us newbies as to the meanings of:

K & R
nt
?

Thanks. Or if it is an "inside group" thing, ignore this.

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. K&R = 'kicked and recommended'; 'nt' = 'no text'

The first is a way of getting the thread 'kicked' back to the top of a forum's 'most recently posted to' list, for visibility, and of saying you recommended it (which you actually do by clicking the 'DU Rec' rec button for the opening post (which is often abbreviated to 'OP', by the way); that helps the thread on the 'Greatest Threads' list), so a way of expressing approval.

The second is just a courtesy of saying your reply is only the title, so no one need open up your reply to see what else it says.

[Wednesdays]

35. Occasionally you'll see humorous variations

Such as "Kay and Arr." (Especially popular on Talk Like a Pirate Day... which is tomorrow, btw.)

[Lady Freedom Returns]

43. Tomorrow!?

I thought that was in October?!

[jtuck004]

44. K&R is kick and recommend, a way of showing support for or interest in a post. The

n/t designation is - no text, or no further text - other letters are sometimes used - on the subject line to indicate that is all they had to say, so you don't need to open it.

[BlueStreak]

29. Would I be a bad person if I suggested to Trump's Secret Service detail

"Hey fellas, you have been working pretty hard. Don't you think you can give it a rest for a few days? I mean who would want to hurt Donald Trump?"

[napkinz]

38. "Take away Trump's billions. Let's see what happens to him." ;)

[phallon]

30. Stumped

I cannot discern where many millennials and many gen-x's find evidence that causes them to distrust HRC other than a prejudice fed by a relentless right wing MSM for 24 years.

Newt, Rove, Wallace, Scarborough, Murdoch, Ailes, etc.,etc., etc. have prevailed with their lying narrative, really?

The distrust propaganda of HRC is a model of disinformation that apparently makes you think voting is either pointless or that, despite any evidence, but only innuendo, you can find credibility in the distrust narrative.

If you believe HRC is distrustful then you must have doubts about the state of civil rights, human rights, the denial of climate science and abortion is based on evil.

You don't get a lot of opportunities to put your country above your personal agenda. Military service, political party, biases, or organization agenda cannot be allowed to lead one to rationalize not voting.

A straight Democratic ticket, regardless of what locale you live, is the essence of sanity in 2016 and must be repeated in 2018. We have to have four to six years to wrest the agenda from these right wing radicals.


Love trumps Hate

[Beartracks]

33. +1. Your 1st sentence is spot on. n/t

[pwb]

31. Watch your own ass Trump. Last i looked your not that popular of a Republican choice.

You are taking a big chance, your people are capable of doing deplorable things. They may come after you, this may come back to bite you. Asshole...

[napkinz]

42. yes "they are capable of doing deplorable things," but it won't be directed at him

Trump has told his followers that if he loses it's because the system was rigged. They believe him. They are riled up and will go after the president-elect.

[YOHABLO]

32. Ryan and McConnell are part of the disgrace. However, they hate the Clintons.

[TryLogic]

39. "Ryan and McConnell are part of the disgrace."

Yes, indeed!

[napkinz]

46. Ryan did respond the first time Trump encouraged assassination ...

[kacekwl]

40. They are just as scummy

as Trump is.

[napkinz]

47. they're all DEPLORABLE

[Nitram]

41. K&R

[Initech]

48. Amen to that!
