everything he wrote is the truth...it just sounds like a sick burn because you expect more from a president.

Just a guess, but if he can't and if Manafort doesn't talk, Mueller should be able to put the case together using others. That crowd has about as much discretion, professionalism, good sense, loyalty and intestinal fortitude as the creatures out in our marsh. Not that I mean to insult our marsh creatures with the comparison.

I have heard him criticize where republicans were headed years ago, he saw the cliff coming up.

Fwiw, by far most "centrist" Democrats are liberals. Though we do have some Democrats who are conservatives, overall centrist Democrats test out as progressive liberals. Notably, there is little to no overlap these days with centrist conservatives. That last is mostly because conservatives have moved really substantially right in recent decades.

Democrats have only moved slightly left from where we typically have been for a couple hundred years. Positions shift somewhat with the mood of the times; but whatever our current party label, we've always stayed loyal to the liberal ideals and principles laid out by our founding fathers overall.

Very unlike conservatives, who lack an intellectual foundation for "beliefs" that originate as feelings in their guts and pretty much stay that way. Something Dean's studied and written about and does a lot to explain how with manipulation they could decline into unprincipled attack dogs.

Btw, liberal and conservative orientations are wired into us genetically. They're very real and result in very different personality traits. Dean would require a personality transplant to become a liberal, though he could become a Democrat by clicking a box. And is welcome to as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe I went overboard in my description of Dean.

on what's happened to the right. Conservatives without Conscience is a fascinating read, and damning. Some of the people in it are still in politics. He's not talking about all cons, mostly about 20-25% of all voters, the type that make us realize "it could happen here."

STFU, dotard

Until I saw just now that his profile picture IS OF ADORABLE DOGS!!!

And now I love him
