Of course they believe that! Because that's the way THEY do it.

Of course they suspect skullduggery in others. Because that’s how THEY do it. That’s THEIR normal. That’s THEIR currency. That’s how THEIR world rotates. They think others are doing that stuff because THEY do that stuff.

That's because they want that help again.

They know they’re on a downward slide. They know they’re on the losing end. But keeping power is PRIORITY ONE.

AT ALL COSTS.

They want that help again. Because they know full well the only way they can hang onto power is to get some now-proveneffective help again. Why does someone resort to dirty tricks and ratfucking and other favorite republi-CON indoor sports - unless they don’t think they can win by playing fair? By playing on a level playing field?

They have no interest in a level playing field because it doesn’t guarantee a win. And they want to win more than anything else

so they can hang onto power, and

So they can force THEIR agenda and THEIR world view on the rest of us. To institutionalize THEIR agenda and THEIR world view.

And why is that?

Because they want to pull us back to the 1950s OR FARTHER BACK. When men were men, white power was unassailable, and anybody NOT white male was relegated to the back of the bus. ANYBODY. that means blacks. That means brown-skinned. That means women. That means the less fortunate.

They frankly don’t believe in equality. One contingent must be superior to all the others, and dominant over all the rest. Why else does a thing like trump aspire toward being a dictator, a virtual king, the proverbial “strongman,” “president” as emperor?

And if they believe the only way they can get there is by getting some devious and dark and thoroughly ILLEGAL outside help, then they’ll do it by any means necessary.

And we’ve already seen what those extraordinary “any means necessary” strategies and tactics are.

To those who doubt or obfuscate or obstruct or deny or make excuses, I’ve got only one thing to say: Prove me wrong.

It's about time. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

In broad daylight. It's been visible as all-get-out, from the get-go.

And some doggone high-octane projection, too.

Retweeted.

He's been an orange cockroach for years.

I guess those cockroaches live a long time, ‘eh?

EXCELLENT!

That sums it up, FM123!

Vote D for Democracy. NOT R for Russia.

And another womp womp!



And btw, YOU ruined your OWN life, dude. Nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to act out like that. Not even a printable plastic one.

Hell, I’ve been wanting to fire him since two Januaries ago!

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.
