Discussions in the comments section signal upcoming problems for democrats. Democrats should NOT assume that shared outrage will translate into votes for old school "leaders" with proven track records for failing to EFFECTIVELY lead and/or fight for liberal values.

Air America dudn't work for various reasons, but mainly because there is not an audience for political talk radio on the left.

Run on getting money and corruption of Wall Street out of DC.

Benghazi worked because it was first introduced to elect Romney in 2012 and conveniently was the only weapon against Hillary who was super popular when she left the administration in 2013. Those committees wound up exposing the email server and the rest is Russia.

Republicons have been framing the issues by controlling the language since the mid 1970s.

It's about time Democrats started doing the same in an organized way. George Lakoff, Noam Chomsky, and others have been trying to wake up Democrats to this.

It's why estate taxes got renamed "death taxes". It's why "death panels" has such currency. It's why Republicons call spending they like "investments" and "Congress will pay for it" (the Wall boondoggle); spending they don't like gets termed "a burden on taxpayers" and "the taxpayers will pay for it" (education, science).

It's coupled with relentless repetition of terms by way of media interviews and Congressional investigations. Hence "emails" is on everyone's lips when Hillary is mentioned.

Democrats must not cede the language to Republicons and must push progressive and liberal language, whenever possible.

It was really all they had because they had nothing on Obama and Hillary would have been formidable.

Now there is so much to get these guys on that are HUGE. Which would get the most support across the aisle? That ought to be the drumbeat issue. IMHO.

Republicons put Party before Country.

Pence is proud of saying he is "1) christian, 2) conservative, and 3) Republican, in that order." No mention of country or USA. His actions are in accordance with his stated priorities.

Can't imagine Pence position a winning one if/when Twump is impeached.

Only now, it's his total disaster and it's hanging around his neck.

The raid occurred Jan. 29 and had been approved Jan. 25 just five (5) days after taking office.

That's how eager he was to kill families.

It's an odd affectation that I notice a few Americans use when writing. It seems a bit condescending to the reader - as if the author is stopping to say "yes, that's right dear, it's a number".

If it were the other way round, in some vital document (especially a hand-written one), I might see a reason for it - write 'thirty one' after '31', in case the '1' looks like a '7' in their handwriting.

You don't need to 'emphasize' it. It's not a contract, and there's no need to do it in contracts either.

Can't do italics or bold in post titles, for one aspect of it.

9 days is all it took the Mango Mussolini to commit his soul.

in his republican shorts.

republican draft & tax dodger FAILS.

People suffer from his stupidity & lazieness.

sad.

Otherwise I would have never heard of 'Yakla' I intend to use that every chance I can going forward.

They don't care how many Yemenis (even if one was legally an American citizen too) were killed; they assume they all supported "the bad guys". They think of the dead sailor as a hero. Those on the fence about Trump are unlikely to care much. To us, it was a botched job, so it's in the list of Trump's misdeeds. But I don't think we'd convince many of those in doubt by using the name endlessly (remember, the Republicans did that to target the gullible; you can't use the same tactics to win the non-gullible).

Can you imagine....
If after all those years of "Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi!" Hillary had decided to act on this village as well, to get a little toughness cred or as a wag the dog from most likely already fomenting impeachment talk. For whatever reasons....

and it had gone just as badly? My gawd they'd blow the roof off with their maniacal screaming vitriol.

If they were good moose-lambs, they wouldn't live near them turrists.

They dehumanize anybody they don't like that isn't white christian, but especially brown skinned Muslim 'furriners'.

It's one of the steps on the road of genocide.

It's true we aren't as adept as the GOP and their media machine in getting the word out.

BUT, with trump, there are 3 or 4 outrages a day. It's hard to keep up with his shit-storm. To be fair, I think we are decent job getting the word out about his Russian connections.
