68. Why do you believe that???

Dec 2017

Did every Dam stand with or against Franken?

No? Bunch of silence out there is what I heard...behind all the chants of "He's a witch!!!".

Your version of winning looks an awful lot like losing to me (and many others).

During the election I heard nothing but disgust and disdain for "purity tests" etc...how those insisting on "purity" were seeking ponies and unicorns and rainbows. In fact, it became quite a joke for some of you, laughing at the purists immaturity and delusion.

Now, you are bathing in the fruits of your own "purity tests"...and my, does the water seem cold and polluted.
