In reply to the discussion: UPDATED: Trump: 'I Have Proof' Dem Rep 'Totally Fabricated' My Remarks to Niger Soldier's Widow [View all]forgotmylogin
(7,528 posts)19. They have basically morphed the phrase.
You never hear about the "Democratic Party" anymore, because they love to emphasize the RAT out of the word "Democrat".
I believe this was a Rove ploy that nobody ever thinks about anymore.
I also remember how when I was young, the US was always described as a "democracy". Now we're apparently a "republic". I think that's technically correct terminology since we have the (goddam fucking) Electoral College and we don't directly elect a leader, but it always jars me when I hear it.

Just ask yourself. Does the reply to the widow sound like something trump would say?

The Government can shut down websites, why can't they shut down the Morons personal twitter?
