Yep. He hasn't shown any signs of renouncing culture capitalism that I've noticed.

These leopards don’t change their spots.

Not soon enough. But sometime tomorrow (the 3rd).

Probably a mid-morning session. It’ll be all over TV today, promoting the event. So we’ll know soon. It’ll get BIGTIME coverage tomorrow.

Don't take ANYTHING for granted! Remember: the other side CHEATS.

One other thing we all have to guard against: falling in love with marginal candidates who appeal to only a segment of the electorate, and REALISTICALLY have no chance of winning, but only serve to splinter us up into factions that spend the whole campaign bickering and sabotaging each other.

This is MASSIVELY important. CRITICALLY important! Last time, I often found myself thinking about a campaign cliche : “Democrats fall in love. Republicans fall in line.” How ardently I wished that we were more like them in that one single respect.

Yep. That's about it.

If a Democrat were putting all that criminality up on the scoreboard, these bastards would be building a gallows in the middle of the Washington Mall.

Going back to their "good old days."

That’s all they’ve got. On a stained blue dress. While the rest of us can reference Nixon and genuine high crimes and misdemeanors sdemeanors. Let ‘em sit ‘n’ swivel their way down Memory Lane.

That’s all they’ve got.

And meanwhile, they reinforce the whole idea of IMPEACHMENT. Seems to me that just makes the whole idea of IMPEACHMENT all the more realistic and probable. That this theme is EVERYWHERE now seems to make the whole idea a bit more real, logical, accepted, commonplace, and assumed inevitable.

The longer this goes on, and the more logical a conclusion it becomes, the more people get used to the whole idea, the more inevitable it becomes.

Soon it will be an idea we’re all familiar with, and comfortable with. Thus easier to accept. Talk of it SHOULD be everywhere. The easier it develops as the logical next step.

The Fabulous Five! What a great portrait!

Let’s see -from left to right: our very own Black Panther, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Spider-Man. The Democratic superheroes take power!

Very sorry to hear this. Harry Reid served our country well.

It’s good to hear from him again, even if it’s the last time. It’s good to hear him confirm our conclusions about trump’s so-called “presidency.” WORST EVER.

It's threatening to the paternalistic status quo - which has

dominated for FAR too long.

January 2, 2019

Yep. This was his "little black book" of words to use when describing

candidates. A whole slew of negative words and phrases to apply to Democrats and liberals, and lots of flowery positive and “God Bless America” words to apply to republi-CONS and CONservatives.

I like to generate my own messaging manipulations. I like to capitalize the word “CON” and imbed it in key political words. It’s an imbedded message - to underscore, visually, that all the GOPers and “right” wing cohorts ever offer is a CON job.

This is psy-ops. Mind-fucking. Perception management. And we need to do more of this, too.

Yes. She still is. Bar none. But I'm sick and tired of seeing her beaten up

from every direction! SICK and TIRED of it!!! I wish she could chair some really prestigious organization or international effort. Something that could put her many impressive skills and vast experience to work for the benefit of our world, if not our country.

I just don’t want her to have to be everybody’s favorite punching bag again. She doesn’t deserve that kind of disrespect. And we’ve proven, collectively, that we don’t deserve her either.

I’d still vote for her in a heartbeat.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
