Right or wrong, you can't play a clean game against dirty players.

and that's what's happened here. It's what's BEEN HAPPENING here.

I think these hearings will be theatre. I think Comey likes the attention, but you make NO mistake...he is on the take for them and has been since his Whitewater days.

By their deeds, Lord, you will know them.

We are in the midst of a coup right now. One side so power hungry that they committed espionage and treason to keep power and the other side so neutered that even if they were to fight back, there is very little they can do. This burden falls to *us*

It will come organically, from the people. From the streets. From the activism.

But the 'divide and conquerers' will be back. Refighting the primary in some way, or insisting on an ageist, or sexist, or anti-Dynasty club that ENTITLES them to something spiteful about the victim in all of this (I mean, it's *ACTUALLY* us, but I am sure you can catch my drift)

Fuuuuuuuuck that.

You can't play a clean game against dirty players, and these mother fuckers are DIRTY AF.

Gird yourselves for today. Comey will give the KGOPB every sound bite he can muster.

1. I've been trying to say this since the election

The only way we can win is to be willing to play as dirty as the repunks. We must be willing to go to the gutter and use the same tactics against them--and we MUST convince Democrats to do likewise or else we'll be relegated to permanent minority status.

2. They were coming after people for saying, "Why is Dolt45 on Putin's dick?"

because they thought it was homophobic. I don't want to be the "some of my best friend's are black, or in this case, gay" person, but the person who posed the question to me, just in speaking *IS* gay.

And it's not the fucking POINT, is it?

We need to start bringing guns to gun fights, and stop neutering ourselves like Dolt45's abdication of his American balls for Putin's. (Sorry, not sorry)

I support every minority there is...except the minority that thinks we need "Kum ba Yah" when we need "Not today motherfucker"

3. I strongly disagree. Just as it is more effective to try terrorists in court than torture them

and hold them in indefinite detention in Guantanamo, in the long run it is always better to use the rule of law to take down thieves, cheaters, cons, and other criminals. We took down Nixon, and we will take down the Trump Gang. Virginia is starting the anti-gerrymander movement, and it will spread. No need to fight dirty, just fight hard. By the rules. Otherwise, we end up being just like the enemy.

I support equality. I support women. I *am* one.

So maybe...slippery slope there?
