meaning he's knuckled under to the Russians again.

That's tacit approval of Assad's use of chemical warfare against women and children.

I don't see how they can possibly blame Obama, but it's just something Republicans have to do, I guess, to keep stupid people from realizing who the world's madmen are and who supports them and why.

These pukes are enragingly disgusting.

Maybe the jackass in the White House considers the use of chemical weapons a form of 'extreme vetting'? A 'final solution' to the problem of Syrian refugees?

Obama and our allies removed Assad's chemical weapons and destroyed them. No one mentions that? Of course not!

Now, Assad has 'strong man' friends in high places - and they are testing new ways to kill.

The Germans did it in Spain before WW II.

There's nothing new under the sun.

That's the real question.

He can be reached through Erik Prince. Who can be reached through Betsy DeVos.

by nature. This is a requirement to join the Repub party.

I mean as beings. They are not like any of the other humans I know and interact with daily. They are so endlessly cruel to people.

Heard the New Yorker writer Jane Meyer talking today to Terry Gross on Fresh Air. Meyer has done an expose of the Billionaire Mercer family---the money behind BreitBart, Bannon, Gorsuch, Sessions and much of the money for 45---and she said the Mercer Father believes ---and I quote---"that human beings have no intrinsic value".

Rich people have the most value, in his view---measured by their wealth. People on welfare have negative value. Poor people are robbing people like the Mercers because the rich have to pay taxes to help them.

Certainly explains how their henchmen--the Repugs--can vote for the devastating legislation they vote for, but it also means they would care nothing for the Constitution which is all about defining the intrinsic rights of human beings. Doesn't it follow that if we have no value---we have no rights? Only money and moneyed people have rights

Gorsuch is their guy.

I think those people are born without a conscience bone.

Also the KQED radio show called Forum had an hour with Meyer today I think:

I'll listen to this one later too.

These people - these rich, heartless, motherfu**ers - are the worthless ones. They are the ones that make the rest of the world miserable, poor and hungry.

Very difficult to watch.

and don't forget US aircraft killed over 300 Iraqis two weeks ago.

There are no innocents here. There's enough evil to share.

We were considered to be the leader of the free world. Now, we're not even one of them.

that we need any and all Congress critters who have some actual backbone to stand up and say exactly what you just said. They need to be shamed for their endless capacity for cruelty and complete lack of compassion. At some point, it would seem that they would eventually stop being able to live with themselves, as unlikely as that seems. But they must not be allowed to continue without being called out and shamed at every turn.

especially on a day like today. Once again, they point fingers to blame instead of saying what they are going to do to help the victims, if anything, even a condemnation.

Sure, he'll keep a baseline of 25-30%, but I think his EOs, the ACA issue, Russia, the constant LYING, the lack of transparency, and the distractions from important issues like national security have finally gotten underneath people's skin.

"Re-evaluating" consent decrees with police departments. So much racism, so blatantly self-contradicting logic, so much hypocrisy from so-called "conservatives."

The police are the government, Jeff. By definition. The government doesn't need to be protected from the people, it needs to protect them.

I'm sure there will be something equally evil tomorrow...
