Watch. Please Watch.


Republicans have ruined this country by promoting hate of our own government, people, science and the press. Grownups need to take this country back.

1. It is great

And relevant to the determined dumbing down of our society. Makes me sick and angry that we HAD a candidate who came as close to the ideals mentioned and roundly dismissed him out of hand because he put the wrong fucking letter next to his name.

7. AMEN

14. That's the Truth.

2. +1!!! THIS, STILL

We need politicians with courage of convictions, but those convictions cannot be to please their Donors, keep their seat, and cash in!!!

Unless we get the money out of politics, bust up the oligopolies, including media and banking, and stop this damn propaganda and deal with FACTS we cannot turn it around. We will still be fighting the same battles, fighting the symptoms and not the cause, money!

15. You said it. Sad that so many are misinformed and disengaged, and sadder still that our politicians

have selfishly capitalized on this and so eroded our democracy.

3. Thank you. I love this more every time I see it!

4. Thanks for posting

I've seen it before, but it is always great to get a refresher concerning how much we have lost and how far we have fallen as a people. If there ever was a speech to plagiarize, this is it. If I ever run for office, I will likely use parts of it, but will put a credit footnote to it.

9. WOW. Now, can someone send a tweet of this to trump?

[longship]

10. Maybe a more complete clip...

The context of the question helps here. The lead up is important to the drama of the scene. Here it is in total.

My best to you, as always.

12. Thanks, longship.

[longship]

13. No prob, my friend.

Context, in this case, helps a bit.

As always,
