Welcome to DU, debsy.

All I have to say about the OP is "AMEN."

The Democratic Party is the ONLY institution that can prevent total rightwing control. If you're trying to destroy it, YOU own the outcome

Amen, Amen, Amen. Now and forever more, Amen.

Welcome to DU, c-rational.

Joy Reid is pretty doggone great at putting into words what a lot of us feel.

And add that to the damn fucking shooting today... I wonder how many dim bulbs still feel that this wouldn't have happened if there'd been that good ol' "good guy with a gun" around there.

Here's one of MANY links to a dude who lived through the recent Las Vegas massacre, and HAD BEEN one of those making that moldy-oldie lame-ass out-to-lunch/dinner/breakfast/brunch/midnight snack/any-meal-you-name assumption, until that night:

Welcome to DU, Pepsidog.

I'm a big fan of Joy Reid.

I've often said, heard, and read, that familiar saying you quoted - about how things are going to get worse before they get better. But it's cold comfort by now because things DON'T seem to be getting better. I don't know when that hoped-for improvement might even start. Things only seem to be getting worse, week by week.

I have a good friend who voted for trump - get this: because of Pence! She claimed that it was "at least he's had experience in government..." And after they stole their way in, illegitimate as they were and are, and started proving what absolute human lice they've been showing themselves to be, she began to burble "well, I'm just going to remain hopeful..." My thought then, and even moreso now, is WHAT hope? HOPEFUL??? Are you DAFT? Have you been asleep for the past few years? Where the living hell have you been?

AND equally important, she doesn't let any CON guest get away with "Democrat Party" or

"Democrat bill" or "Democrat - anything". It's DEMOCRATIC Party etc.

I'm with her.

Not just Hillary, but Joy Reid. Still being squandered on the weekends, but at least they give her lots of fill-in work. They damn well better! It's the very least they can do. If it were up to me, I'd give her Andrea Mitchells time slot and send Andrea off to tag along with Tillerson or some such.

GOOD GRIEF what a tangled web we weave...

They're all inter-twined - and all roads from all things trump continue to lead to Moscow. (And I DON'T mean Moscow, Idaho!)

Make it so!!!

And all those "Star Trek" captains' orders:

"Engage!"

"Get it done!"

"Do it!"

November 5, 2017

OUCH!

WINS the internet!

I'm sorry but I may have to steal that, Liberalagogo!



Grab 'em by the POSSE! Freakin' FANTABULOUS! GENIUS!!!

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.
