BULLS**T!

October 5, 2017

Michigan and Wisconsin's 2016 Presidential elections had Russian interference (hacks).

U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley said "according to committee testimony Michigan and Wisconsin had Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections...... and it's likely they had help from U.S. citizens"

A stolen seat doesn't deserve any respect.

This seat is part of the long term rightwing plan to disassemble our democracy. The country is clearly under attack and it seems at this time in our history that the attack is from a domestic threat.

Whether it is the attack on the Constitution by right wing judges or a home grown terrorist attack in Las Vegas. Killing 58 and injuring 500+. The current threats are from within borders.

One of two things is apparent

1. The we'll pray for them crowd has no connection to God. God must see them like the little boy who cried wolf.
or

2. God sent a message directly to Scalise and he has chosen to ignore it.

Praying is a nice thought or jester if you personally know the victim.... but in this situation it's a cowards way to avoid their responsibility.

Congress members have a responsibility and the power to protect the American people from terrorist attacks. 58 dead and 500+ injured. IS A TERRORIST ATTACK.

IMO that is because their tactics for winning elections don't work after an election

Voter ID doesn't matter in Congress. Everyone has the same ID
Voter suppression isn't the same in Congress every member still get's a vote.
Rigged voting machines are useless. Every important vote is registered.
Caging not in Congress to late.
Social media can have a positive influence. With individual congress members.

The one thing that does work before and after election day are LARGE sums of cash.
Congress members are being bought.

Bottom line they don't get to steal elections one vote at a time in individual wards.... as they do on election day. And apparently the Russians still can't give floor speeches from the well!

Love Samantha Bee's ending with a little Dixie

So mid 1960 sitting in a bar in a southern state. A bar that was within walking distances of the back gate of the military installation I was stationed at.

Sitting there sipping a cold beer enjoy the company and waiting my turn at the pool table.

The juke box is play some favorites including Patsy Cline's "Crazy" (still a favorite today).

Next song queues up and it sound slightly familiar but... just taking a sip on the beer. When I look up from the beer three or four "good old boys" were staring down at me with an obvious issue in mind.

So one fellow says "damn yankee" you GD better stand up when they play Dixie. Oh that's Dixie on the juke box.

I stood, we all sipped our beers and waited for Dixie to pass.

I still have the urge to stand when I hear the first few bars.

Thanks for the memory Sam!

As a former Navy Seal he must know you earn respect!

I won't judge him as I don't know enough about him thru his public statements.

But for the president he has done NOTHING to earn the respect. He spent the weekend Tweeting about NFL players while failing to even start to address the needs of Puerto Rico an American Territory.

The president acts like a grade school play ground bully while Americans in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico are suffering from hurricane damage all around them.

He has not earned my respect or the respect of two thirds of the America people.

Rest in Peace Mom.... you are very brave and you tried.

Someone will have to explain to me what pro-life is.
