Roe is safe. Lot else may be not.

Roe v Wade is a goose that lays electoral golden eggs for the pukes. They want to use it to win battles for corporate interests against the federal government.


Deciding to overturn will create a nightmare scenario in states that ban abortions.

I feel bad for Scott Pruitt.

He is poor as a country mouse in the circles he moved into .... . and tried living a rich life at the taxpayers expense. He could not even manage that with any degree of sophistication.

His ABSOLUTE low point had to be being exposed trying to buy a used Trump matress.

A homeless man probably has to have more self worth than that fucker.

How confident are you that Mueller will be able to nail Trump?

I am not taking about facts/evidence.

But overcoming the Obstacles that Trump/Republicans will present including refusing to appear before a Grand Jury

Michael Cohen can sing like Celine Dion if he wants to .. but absent a political will to bring Trump to Justice - How confident are you?

The only issue Republicans REALLY care about is

WHITE CHRISTIAN HEGEMONY

Every other stance , policy position,SCOTUS appointment, issue etc is either in service of the above or just lip service.

They are in a almighty struggle for restoring a Jim Crow era social order over and above anything else. The deplorables clearly understand this and hence every sin Trump has committed is forgiven. He can rape a woman on live television but they will still support him.

Assuming that 45% of this country is composed of RACIST garbage ... What should we be doing?

And what do we do if they are over 50% of LIKELY (after accounting for suppression) VOTERS?? I seriously think we are undercounting the racists in America. People assume that Democrats are going to win the house. But given computer optimized gerrymandering and latent racism - I think it's harder to get there than we think it to be.

A domesticated pig let loose in the wild returns to it's feral state in a just a few generations... I think the same could apply to us. Hard won fights on social and civil can be undermined very quickly.

Its time for Obama to step back in the political realm and become our voice. These are extraordinary times and need extraordinary measures.

Because If you think Trump is going to shut up and go away quietly after being voted out/term limited - Think again.

how much do we endure before we snap?

The feelings of Insult and "FUCK YOU" that republicans keep heaping on us through their actions is becoming unbearable.

I am feeling as miserable as I did in November 2016.

I cant bear to watch news .. SCOTUS will be packed with folks partial to Trump. We have one card left to play - Bob Mueller . And I am losing hope even with that given how partisan the SCOTUS has become.

We are well and truly fucked.

Are any of you seeing angry and irritable Trump supporters at work?

I ran into a couple, in NYC no less, who are livid that the media is being cruel to Trump.

I sense visceral anger in them towards the media -- I really wish I could make them direct that anger towards Trump and GOP. Just needs a shift of perspective.

We'll get there.

It all makes sense now

Forget Tax Cuts. Trump Wants to Rally the G.O.P. Base Over Immigration

WASHINGTON — As Republicans try to keep their midterm election strategy focused on the economy, tax cuts and falling unemployment, President Trump sent his clearest signal yet on Monday that he intends to make divisive, racially charged issues like immigration central going into the campaign season.

Facing bipartisan criticism over his administration’s family separation practice on the border, Mr. Trump renewed the sort of bald and demagogic attacks on undocumented immigrants that worked well for him politically in his 2016 presidential campaign. He inveighed against “the death and destruction that’s been caused by people coming into this country” and vowed that “the United States will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility.”


The whole thing is GOTV strategy ..Trump is dominating the news cycle with the shock and awe .. And he is betting that shock value will recede while energizing his racist base.

I hope the bastard is sent off in chains to Hague.

Arent they traumatized by their own actions?
