An open letter to Senate Democrats

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/senate-democrats-tie-gorsuch-filibuster-to-russia_us_58b36dc5e4b0658fc20f9740?

Found at Huffington Post...sounds like a plan to me....

Dear Senators,

Your constituents are upset over what is happening in the country right now. On the left, citizens were aghast as the administration rolled out a travel ban targeting Muslims, rescinded protections for transgender children, and pushed through confirmations for cabinet officials who were and are uniquely unqualified to run the Federal agencies to which they’ve been appointed. For those on the right, while the general direction of domestic policy under the Trump administration may hold some appeal, Trump’s erratic behavior and authoritarian tone, assaults on the free press, and bungling of foreign relations (among other issues) are a real cause for concern. These early perceptions of a rocky start for Trump have led to unusually low approval numbers for a presidency in its infancy.

But let’s set that aside: we can criticize Trump on his juvenile tone, his bluster on the world stage and his regressive policy positions for the next four years if we have to. At the moment there is a more pressing concern: President Trump’s ties to Russia.

In the midst of the 2016 campaign, Trump’s praise for Vladimir Putin raised yellow flags, a perception compounded by Trump’s televised open invitation for Russia to hack Clinton campaign emails to find a smoking gun on his opponent.

Some brushed off this comment as flippant – the unrestrained ramblings of an accomplished bullshit artist: just “Trump being Trump.” But the President’s continued dismissal of the intelligence community’s consensus that Russia was responsible for the DNC hack and his corresponding statements about “how great it would be” if we had a better relationship with Russia are both confounding and deeply suspicious.

Interesting post I received a FB today


Got this at my FB page today it is from a friend of my wife.
Don't know how yo make it happen but it sounds awesome to me. I watch and donate.



You may have heard that the organizers of the inauguration are freaking out that the performers will be limited to Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

So....what if there was a televised "freedom concert" with huge celebrities like: Beyoncé and Jay Z, Madonna, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, etc., that aired at the same time as the inauguration. What would the president elect think knowing he was not the ratings winner that evening?

And what if all the proceeds of the concert went to: the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Lambda Legal, NAACP, CAIR, IRAP, SPLC, Environmental Defense Fund, etc.

Alec Baldwin could be the MC for the evening!

Let's make it happen! Copy & Paste, don't share, or else only your mutual friends will see it.

Dear Donald Trump Jr.

Hey dude,

I saw your comment online about women who can't handle harassment in the workplace just don't belong there.
Need to say I agree with you. I mean come on let's just make it men only. It probably would be easier to get your attention. I've tried in the past. Guess I wasn't aggressive enough. That's at an end.

Dude I love you! I want that little hair on your lips to grant my nether regions a release. Come on over, I really mean come on over, all on me..

I noticed your bulge. Said to my friend I'm going to "date" that bitch. I'm going down into depths I've never been before.

I know you're not put off by this, so com'on give a little. Matter of fact aren't you a little turned on by my aggression?

Com'on I know you want me. The way you dress. The way you walk, your talk, your looks.

You're beautiful. You meet my standards. I knew a loooong time ago I wanted you.



I hope you all realize this is just a little exercise in sarcasm. When I saw the article I vomited.

Hey DU, we have about 10 days to hold Holt's feet to the fire!...

https://www.facebook.com/LesterHoltNBC

Please flood his Facebook page with requests to have a fair debate.

Don't stop, keep posting.

There are many on the Trump side doing it. We have to overwhelm them.
This is where it may get done. Not here where we all agree.

https://www.facebook.com/LesterHoltNBC

Take it to the next level. Please. It is a great chance. Use your influence. Make it count.

https://www.facebook.com/LesterHoltNBC

I did. Com'on flood his page, flood his page with your requests. Flood his page with the request to be fair to both.

We can do this. We can make a difference. Don't let him be a Matt Lauer.

This will be posted with no exepection of answers. Just do it.

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement....

As Democrats we have three excellent candidates.
Just look at the other side. We cajole, we laugh, we are glad that is not our side.

But we,here, are turning into them.

I will support any candidate the Dems put up. I vote my party.

Do I have a thought on who is the better? Of fucking course! Will I slam another's choice?
Yes on the fucking issues! Not anything else.

We will all be better off if a Democrat wins the election. There's too much at stake.

Look at the other side!

All this other shit has got to stop.

I don't post much, I have been here for a loooong time. First as a long time lurker, then I joined.

I come here to get the take on the main issues of our time.

But all this shit that is going down here lately is about supporters, not the ever loving issues.
Try to get real.

I think some people have a fear of change. That ok. Me too. I think some people cannot accept way, way, way differences in political policy, ok! Say that. Face your fears, discuss that, them.
Don't disparage other members for their fears.

This place now reminds me of the steps of grief. Think and listen.

I will never place anyone on ignore, I think it's rude. Just wrong. I need to listen to everyone.
Will I agree? Who knows?

But slamming people for thier beliefs, just not right, not acceptable.

I cannot be here for a great while to respond cuz I kinda got a life outta politics. I need to hike at least five miles a day to keep my fucking dog happy, and I will guess me also

Just remember we are all,in this crap together. We will support each other when we need to.

I love this site, it has made me a more informed and better person. Let's keep that aspect up.
