I couldn't get to my remote control fast enough. The first time I saw it this past week I really did feel physically sick! Now that I have seen it several times on MSNBC and CNN I know that I have to run to my remote ASAP! If Fux Ruse can stop airing Tom Steyer's "Impeachment" ads after the moron threw a hissy fit, why can't the other real news stations refuse to show this propaganda. I think it is time for a financial boycott by major companies until they pull those ads.

That's why hundreds on the eastern side of our state are about to lose their jobs.

As for this disgusting ad, don't even want to see it. Don't want to be pissed on New Years Day.

And left 14 children without a father. Back then there were no social safety nets, and times were really hard. I hope it doesn't return to that, but for some reason that's Paul Ryan's sick dream.

...but "everyone knows Trumpy Bear loves to go to the golf course" and the suggestion to hang Trumpy Bear on your golf cart are SNL-worthy lines. Plus, they give you a flag to wrap yourself up in!

If it makes you feel any better, I looked up the makers of that commercial - they think the people behind the commercial are the same people who back "As seen on tv" products (the actual investors who help people put out their own as seen on tv products). The actors on that commercial - just that...actors. They never actually use the word "Trump". Only "Trumpy".

To be blind by their preachers. They are zealots.

Hamilton said it well:

"The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion. Tired at length of anarchy, or want of government, they may take shelter in the arms of monarchy for repose and security.

Those then, who resist a confirmation of public order, are the true Artificers of monarchy—not that this is the intention of the generality of them. Yet it would not be difficult to lay the finger upon some of their party who may justly be suspected.

When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.”
