Our lives are not a game. The character of our nation, as expressed through our policies, is not a game. Our democratic ideals are not a game.
Right now the nations soul is being forcibly separated from our stated values. We have been and are currently under assault by a hostile foreign power that is undermining our elections and a hostile President that is undermining our democracy, our culture and our future.

People can't say they have not been warned, plenty of books, movies, plays have been written about what could happen here, but many people decided a long time ago that a 6-pack and "Monday Night football" are more important, that having an iPhone and watching youtube videos is more fun, that it is ok to limit oneself to watching USA news because they always tell the truth (that is all the news you need), that being ignorant is ok because ignorance is a bliss.
It is always fascinating the many people who attended George Carlin's shows and came out happy from laughing so much while at the same time ignoring the messages, and the messages were not encrypted, or given to the audience in parables, they were as direct as they could be. People go to the movies and ignore the messages...we are all guilty of not paying attention, but its time to say 'ok, the hell with Monday night football', 'the heck with youtube', I am going to start talking to people, helping as many as I can understand that are government is not normal, and the path they are following will take us to ruin, send "quotes of the day" to all your friends and help them think, if you hit a nail with a hummer repeatedly, even if you hit it soft, the nail will eventually go in, so make sure you send good messages that are not nasty, or talk directly harsh about the man-child, send quotes that explain the evil in a good educated way, let them little by little start taking notice, once in a while send a non-political inspirational quote, one that also helps them think, you will find that some people will suddenly react.
One more thing...The reason republican leaders are so quiet is because the man-child is a mafioso, and he has implicated everyone around him, they are not supporting him, they are afraid of going to jail, its not a cult, it is that the man-child has put handcuffs on them.

(1,325 posts)No sense of irony eh Mark??? Running around with your tart while telling your wife and kids you're out hiking the Appalachian Trail? And then you appeal to the same Trump voters to get elected again? Trump people are your people. Don't try to change your spots. Who in the hell do you think voted to put you back into Congress? You are part of the whole pile of shit party that brought us Trump.

I hope you all drown in sh*t.

(14,494 posts)They toe the line on Repug dogma so long as they're in power, but suddenly find salvation after they fall.
Oh, I think I just got it. When a Repug loses an election or retires, they are told to repent by their prosperity gospel preachers.....because they failed Wall Street Jesus!
Do I smell hypocrisy in the air?....... .......
