PLEASE call them what they are - Republicans
It's wrecking my head to hear Democratic spokespeople call them "this Administration", "Trump's administration" etc. Set the agenda, call them the "Republican Administration", "Trump's Republicans" or even just "the Republicans". If you're going to spend the next 4 years calling out all the scandalous actions, let's hammer home the fact that it is the Republican Party that did this.

Michael Flatley Dead To Us Now, Says Ireland
From the Irish version of the Onion...
Michael Flatley Dead To Us Now, Says Ireland
AND all we did for that fucker over the years, and he turns around and does this? Well, he can forget about coming back here again, the sweaty bollix
This was just one statement uttered this morning by a member of the Irish population, following the news that somewhat-Irish Irish-dancing superstar Michael Flatley had agreed to perform at Donald Trumps inauguration ceremony this Friday.
Trump is currently persona non grata in Ireland, following disparaging remarks about the people who live near his Doonbeg golf resort in Co. Clare, as well as his plans to deport thousands of unregistered foreign workers in American, which would take in every second Irish person from Boston to Los Angeles.
With a full Trump boycott brewing, the news that jigger with attitude Flatley had signed up for Fridays event did not go down well with even the most staunch jig and reel fans.
Hes fucking dead to us, said the president of the Irish Flatley Fan Club, ripping posters of the Riverdance pioneer off the wall.
