It is remarkable, breathtaking, stunning to see what trump supporters

will excuse and ignore.

One one hundredth of the scandals, crimes, cohort indictments would not just sink an Obama or Clinton permanently in American politics, but they would be hunted down by deplorables who excuse this in trump.

No democrat could ever run again with the tiniest fraction of this occurring.

Today, like everyday, new charges, new indictments. Can you imagine ONE issue like this for a democrat, let alone hundreds?

Scene: "Town Hall, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton speaking to students about guns"

Camera pans and zooms in on notes each of them are holding, Obama notes say "I hear you" and "Tell us how you feel"

Clinton notes say "What can we do to help?" and "I understand your pain"

Within minutes Fox news, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Breitbart and others demand the country stop functioning, the media shut down, and both Obama and Clinton to be mocked, removed from power, and to NEVER be seen from or heard from again.

Saying that ANYONE who would need such notes is not FIT to have ANY responsibility over ANY other human being, let alone over ALL of them!

End scene.

Any criticism of actual Democrats with D's after their name, at this time, is very stupid.

I dont care what they believe and unless they have committed a crime, they need support for one simple reason:

Our country is under the control of Nazi's and the KGB. Until this is no longer the case, ANY democrat will do. Any!

End of discussion.

This includes Kirsten Gillibrand who did indeed help to push Al Franken away and he did not deserve it, at all. But it serves ONLY the republicans by criticizing her at this time.

If you feel so inclined might I suggest you tweet Al Franken and ask him if that is what he wants you to do or would he rather see you criticizing trump and the GOP.

I know what he will say. I do.


Just for accuracy sake, you will not find a DU poster who jumped to Al's defense faster than I did, as often as I did, and as emphatically as I did. The accusations are either outright lies or since when is putting your arm on a waist during a picture abuse? Since never but it was used to railroad a great man. In fact there is no greater supporter of women's rights in the US government than Al.

But he is also very smart and the GOP hates that, so he had to go. And our side fucked up, but it is OVER.

Gun "sense" debate is actually simple

Either every person, man, woman and child, is to have at least one gun and preferably one AR-15 (to make things even) or nobody has them.

Not complicated really.

Which world do you want to live in?

Even if there was no Russia conspiracy and acts of treason by Trump

and clearly there is both, having this complete and total buffoon and idiot anywhere near our government, our courts, our environmental and economic controls, boggles the mind of a sane adult.

Who here has the flu, had it or knows someone who has it or had it?

I am curious how big this thing is.

And, if you had it did you also have the flu shot?

I honest to god used to think that if there was ONE thing a con and I would agree on

it was that Putin and Russia is our enemy.

Not anymore.
