Thanks to these people...

Rupert Murdoch (Faux News)

Sinclair Broadcasting (talk radio)

Hundreds of charlatan preachers.

Dozens of lying Repug politicians.

Lots of RW folks are crying in their warm beer this morning w/cold pizza for breakfast. Pity only goes out to Roy's horse.

Let's all remember Doug will have an obligation...

to support the policies his constituents want him to. I've always tried to factor that in when I disagree with any politician. We have far too many pols that religiously follow party lines rather than express what all his voters prefer.

I'll continue to support Doug Jones, so long as nothing horribly bad comes out on him.

No, but Al Franken may be the price we pay for not being Perfect.

What do you propose to do about all the GOP evil? They have an enormous media system to cover for all their sins, and nowadays with social media layered on top of Faux and talk radio.

Senator Franken has worked hard for all of us and I believe he deserves due process with this matter. I hope he stays on and insists on a congressional hearing. That would set a good moral and just example to American citizens and all the CongressCritters.

Found this article from 2007.

See: http://hwchronicle.com/former-student-to-be-tried-as-adult/

(snip)
A former student charged with premeditated attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon will be arraigned Friday at Los Angeles Superior Court Van Nuys after posting bail of $1 million.

Rupert Ditsworth allegedly beat Elizabeth Barcay ’07 with a claw hammer on May 14, causing lacerations to Barcay’s head, face and legs, District Attorney Lisa Tanner said.

Ditsworth was initially arrested on May 15 and arraigned on May 18 in Juvenile Court. He was ordered to remain in a psychiatric hospital where he had been since the attack. He was rearrested July 2, one day after his 18th birthday, and charged as an adult. He was released on bail later that day.

-----------
Have not found anything yet on the final resolution of the case. Probably a case of affluenza.

I hope several GOP Congress-Critters feel the same apprehension.

A wire here, a wire there.....there's a wire everywhere.

And, keep your damned hands off the women folk.

Another sinister element of their psychological divisiveness is...

the concept that Republican working class people are smarter and spend their money wisely, whereas Democrat working class folks are painted as lazy, foolish and wasteful.

It is a pattern in their dogma.

Thanks, Samnsara.

I know your feelings well, as I always get a big boost each time I get to visit my daughter's fifth-grade reading class and when I enjoy my granddaughter's artwork.

They will build a brand-new world that would be alien to us, and I try to stay positive about their survival.

Trump's people are all serial liars.

They all have lied in their normal course of business and politics all their careers without being held to account, and they consider it an art form.

It's rewarding to see some of them having to learn there's value and art in telling the truth.

Thanks for that info.

Their catalogs have been hitting the recycle bin immediately for a long time. Now, I'm going to send them a nastygram with a Roy Moore reference to try and get off their list. Don't even want to see them any longer.

No wealthy family should be able to influence an election with this sort of magnitude, and especially not across state lines.

In summary, appeal to the worst of human nature.

Greed, fear and resentment, pumped to the level of feeling helpless. Then, tell them only tRump can fix these things.

The irony is that there's no factual basis for triggering these emotions. We must also point out the lies behind those appeals.

However, probably best to approach one lie at a time, and keep a factual bucket list.
