How the hell did this happen? Why aren't we in the streets marching? I'm am so disappointed. We are so much better than this.

I think the pressure cooker is ready to pop!! It will be a matter of time (if we have time) to get out in the streets!!!!! Let them take something else from Americans.

RESIST!

Good on Frum for finding succinct words

where I'm a big fan of Frum. He's intelligent and well spoken....glad he's returned from the dark side...

He's still ultra-conservative.

What are they actually conserving? They are undermining the Constitution, the environment, civility, children's health...

They want the charges out there now. They don't care if anything is done later. They just want to keep the idea of "dossier = bad" in front of the public. And the news media will go along with it.


Every step will be shouted with a bullhorn at 11 pm. Steele will not appear, so they will try to block him getting a visa. News at 11. They will try to seize his assets. News at 11. They will try to seize his records. News at 11.

News at 11. It's Benghazi all Benghazi about Benghazi making Benghazi the Benghazi wobbly Benghazi middle Benghazi waver Benghazi on Benghazi the Benghazi dossier Benghazi. News at 11. To Benghazi make Benghazi them Benghazi say Benghazi "the Benghazi dossier Benghazi must Benghazi be Benghazi garbage Benghazi because Benghazi a Benghazi Senator Benghazi wants Benghazi to Benghazi charge Benghazi the Benghazi guy Benghazi for Benghazi lying". News at 11.

Watching Rachel. I don't have words for the summary of the political status she's presenting. I knew all of this but she's presented all of it together, back to back, and it's overwhelming. If something BIG doesn't change SOON, our democracy is over.

Rachel is putting it all together. Time to hit the streets on January 20! Make it bigger and better than last year's march.

If I'm over this flu by then...I've had 2 relapses. It's a booger.

I felt like crying.

Hypothesis: Money = Power.

Therefore: "it is the system of money that enables him".

Test of the logic: Who are Trump's most effective supporters?

Answer: Billionaires (Mercers, Kochs, Murdochs, etc.)

Their insane base. The crooked lawmakers count on that in order to keep their jobs.

such as Murdoch and Sinclair....who are in turn funded by that very base of citizens. Ironic?

This is a soft coup against our government by ultra-rich people we can't even know or see!

But just by being informed (thanks to the press) we do have a clue to what's happening and who is pulling the strings. And, we've listened to their propaganda and knew it was bogus. Why does it appeal to some?

I grew in a red state and in a Republican family but knew they were full of it before I entered college.

Why are some folks so easily brainwashed? Like my conforming parents, they're idiots?


- proud black sheep of the family

I didn't grow up around many Republicans at all in the 50s and 60s and the few I knew were some of the wealthiest in my tiny country town. They were all very moderate compared to most of those we see today. One could even reason with them. I became interested in science at an early age, so keeping my mind open came naturally and my university time enhanced that tremendously.

I think the big difference these days is the lack of innate (or learned) curiosity and no raw, instinctive desire for education I see in many people. If one has a healthy natural curiosity about all things along with a healthy basic education, one will ask a lot of probing questions and also naturally look at all sides of any question. Without those things, we can very easily be brainwashed by charlatans having all sorts of motives.

As you said, the information needed to make logical, well-informed decisions is out there and pretty much free on-line. However, that also means doing some very studious, boring reading and we now live in a world saturated with sensationalism, disinformation and deceit. Everyone now seems to just want to be entertained 24/7. That's the perfect setting for an economic coup by the plutocrats and I fear we're near that point now.

So, they never question anything, beginning with themselves.. never look to see into something, starting with themselves, never look to find truth, especially in themselves....

A President abusing his powers by making the DOJ for only his ideology by going after anyone not bowing down to him should scare the hell out of everyone. Next, President Obama, Comey, Mueller, Wolfe, Journalists, business ceo's, and on and on. He's corrupting our government more every day he's allowed to be in office. Him and with the help of Republicans. Trump wants the Department Of Trump's Justice.

We need to beat this home..

It is Republicans who are to blame.......

yes, the media, and russians, blah blah blah,,'but REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!!!

They were discussing the current incarnation of the hunting of the clintons

"fuckin 'a', bubba".

Well, it seemed very wise at the time.

to honor their oath of office.
