I don't know where to look (or what to laugh at) first!

The exposed bald spots, the big fat ass, or McConnell downwind!

Probably royalty of some sort.

Or maybe future pResident? He's got a bigger sense of entitlement than I've seen demonstrated by all the crowned heads across the globe.

I do believe that. Maybe a few provocateurs in there, but mostly and mainly legit followers.

I dismiss him for other reasons than just this. But I totally agree that it's a reason to be concerned. And I suspect that with this so-called "administration" being (I think) deliberately asleep at the switch on this, it's very likely to happen again, particularly if all of us don't turn out and vote. Because - none of us should forget: there are more of us Dems than there are for the GOP.

The only problem with figuring out who his base is

is trying to figure out who was a legitimate Bernie supporter and who was actually a GOP dirty trickster, a bot, or a nogoodnik from a Russian troll farm.

I hope no one forgets how the CONS were already being exhorted pushing his campaign - specifically to hurt Hillary’s prospects - as far back as June 2015 in the National Review online.

Good Grief, every time I see a photo of him, I can't help but think about

that old cliche about how you get the face you deserve.

EEEUUUUUUWW.

How 'bout the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria?

Columbus's ships. "Nina" should have an accent over the second "n". That could certainly qualify as a caravan.

I read something - yet another explainer of trump supporters and why they support him

and it mentioned that he basically made it okay to own your racism and be out 'n' proud about it. Remember how he railed against political correctness? And the article said that the deplorables love him for that. I bet they do. An old gent (white) who was a friend of my late mother sent an email around to a very long chain of friends and connections - that complained "why can't I say the N-word?"



I guess these folks regard that as "freedom". "Freedom" to be a Stone-Age-mentality asshole and not having to care about whether you're offending somebody. I've heard them referred to as "resentniks" and I think it fits. Selfish, basically. Thoughtless. Inconsiderate. Spoiled. Imagine that. This fellow was an 80-year-old spoiled brat. All I can say about him since she passed is - "shame on you, dude, wherever you are."

Yeah. And it was a thing of beauty to watch.

He's a BIG ass, so it's a heavy lift. But Richard Painter managed it. I think Baby Huey is like a lot of those jerks in CON world. They're used to tossing out the put-downs and insults and DELIBERATE bastardizations of our party's name (it is The Democratic Party. NOT the "Democrat Party," dammit!) and watch us back down in sullen silence. Like all the gunners and NRA lovers have gotten so complacent because people tend to go to candlelight vigils after yet-another-in-a-continuing-series-of-mass-shootings and that's all that happens. So when a really serious, vigorous, muscular, righteous, and unrelenting opposition raises its head, they're flummoxed.

We're supposed to lie down, roll over, and die. And NOT fight back. And NOT make a big public stink about it. And NOT fill the streets with marchers and the halls of Congress and the statehouses with loud determined activists. We're supposed to be "nice." And mild-mannered, and not making any fuss. We're supposed to wilt. And whimper. And shut up. And go away. And know our "place" (under their jackbooted heels). No wonder they're so apoplectic about those fearless and brilliant - AND EFFECTIVE - Parkland Florida kids.

The bad guys are not accustomed to having opponents with backbone, brains, strategic skills, and sharp teeth.

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.
