You forgot "treasonous". Maybe between "laundering" and "grifter."

Biden is right. This is treason. What trump & comp have done is TREASON.

Run with the comets, Dr. Hawking. You can do EVERYTHING now.

Don't rest in peace. Run! Dance! Frolic! Skip! Fly! Jump! Do the boogie woogie til the sun fizzles out!

That's been my complaint for a LONG time. What about MY rights?

Are MY rights to live without the menace of this wanton gun epidemic not important? Gunners' rights outweigh mine? And if that's the case, somebody better explain why to me.

I'm sick and tired of being a hostage to the gunners. And I'm not afraid of them. I'm not afraid of the NRA. They're nothing but a bunch of spoiled, scared little paranoiacs. I'll be 65 this year. I've lived my life. I've done a bunch of cool things. I've had a great career (actually, a series of them), a good long sustaining successful marriage and wonderful children. If they come gunning for me, I don't even care anymore. And I'm not afraid to fall on top of somebody else and take a bullet to keep THEM from being shot. If it ends, it ends. And then I can go have fun playing in the stars with Stephen Hawking.

I had to turn the sound off. I'm a nervous wreck when it's this close.

Plus, Steve "PLEEEEZE Switch to Decaf" Kornacki is making me nuts with his over-energetic hyperventilating.

Maybe I need to go walk the dog...

That's one of my arguments to the so-called "pro-life" crowd.

You can't be, or say you are, "pro-life" if...

...you care more about your own access to massacre machines than about the lives that those massacre machines snuff out.

...you support unfettered, unregulated, wanton, reckless access to any damn guns you want.

...you deny or doubt that climate change exists, or that it's human-caused.

...you're pro-death penalty.

...you support funding cuts to programs supporting low-income families and needy children.

...you're not that concerned about the plight of our war veterans in need (meh - they volunteered!).

...you're not that concerned about reckless politicians who beat the drum for war (creating MORE veterans in need).

...you don't give a damn about the hurricane victims in Puerto Rico - who just "want everything done for them."

...you want regulations that keep us safe, keep our water clean, our food safe, and our environment protected, done away with.

...you'd rather vote for more prisons than more funding for our public schools.

...you see no reason why we need to safeguard the social safety net (for all those "lazy moochers" dontchaknow).

...you don't give a damn about the Dreamers or those "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" (meh, they should go back where they came from!) .

Welcome to DU, Mad_Mongol!

I love this story! It really gives me hope! May Tuesday night turn into a triumph!

All we have to do, on this side of the proverbial aisle, is SHOW UP!!!

There are more of us Dems than there are republi-CONS. The numbers are with OUR side. If we'd only put our numbers to use, we'd win every time.

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.
