If I see one Democratic Party Congressperson or Senator show up for a White House Meeting I will be beyond pissed.

(51,627 posts)They hate the Dems but until last year Jared, Ivanka, Jared's Dad, attorney Cohen were Dems. Even the fucking moron himself was one off and on over the years. Yet, Comey, McCabe, and Rosenstein are all Repugs and they are also on his shit list. So who DOES he like besides Putin?

So was he not a real Dem, or is his family just sociopathic that they have no actual values at all, liberal, conservative, or otherwise?
There is no answer to that question. There never will be. Voltaire and Rousseau are buried across from one another, the better for them to argue for all eternity. Same basic concept. Fake Democrats or sociopaths? Same thing.

They never actually did anything to help liberal causes.
Ivanka told planned parenthood to stop supporting abortion rights.

(32,077 posts)Washington (CNN) It appears Democratic leaders in Congress were left off the guest list for President Donald Trump's first state dinner at the White House on Tuesday. Still, at least one Democratic politician was invited -- Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards and his wife are set to attend the dinner, his office confirmed.
On Monday, representatives for the top four Democratic leaders in Congress -- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer -- told CNN that their offices did not receive an invitation to the dinner with the French president.
