(22,976 posts)Taking the high road is a noble goal. Unfortunately, the other guys think this is a cage match. Republicans fight so incredibly dirty, and will go to any lengths: lie, cheat, steal. Democrats are constantly fighting defensive actions, as they are right now. It's past time to go on the offensive.

(51,626 posts)what "we the people" can actually do. I am so frustrated. I hate violence and don't want to and can't wait until 2018 since as we know that is not a guarentee by a long shot. I am part of the Resistance and I am resisting like mad but I must do more and see results now!
Any ideas?!

SergeStorms
(19,204 posts)when you're on a level playing field and the other side is playing "high road" politics as well. But when you have one side constantly ripping the throats out of the other, JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN, then all bets are off.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.

(10,885 posts)When McConnell stated that 10 months time was not enough time for Obama to be allowed to name someone to replace Darth Vader.
For me, this became a STOLEN seat.
I wish that Obama would have made Garland a recess appointment and dealt with the fallout.
We are stuck with Gorsuck now for 30 years.

Alice11111
(5,730 posts)1. O Make a recess appt SCOTUS
2. O Tell the country the truth about the Russians, fake news, intervention
It would still help if he if he would hold press conferences to say this. Maybe the apothetic would put pressure on the Senate.

(34,183 posts)Plus it might be counter productive unless Obama unleashed such a massive truth bomb that Trump resigned.

Let's all sit down like ladies and gentlemen and clasp our hands and quietly discuss what we are going to do. Mustn't raise our voices now.

(24,771 posts)Repunks take kindness for weakness, so we have to show some of what they call strength. They'll be too scared to retaliate because they'll act just like any bully whose target fights back--they'll run with their tail between their legs.
So let's give them a taste--or better yet, an entire meal--of their own medicine.
Still In Wisconsin
(4,450 posts)Specifically, I was an interior defensive lineman (DT/NG). When you play that position you run into all manner of tactics employed by your mortal enemies, offensive linemen. As a big, slow guy I often was the recipient of cut blocks, where the blocker dives at your knees in an attempt to "finesse" you to the ground. While not illegal, every defensive lineman I knew absolutely hated this. When some fucker drove his helmet into my knee (as opposed to just "cutting" me with his body) I would always fall on the guy and drive my elbow into his back as hard as I could. Dirty play? Hell yes. I repaid a dirty play with my own dirty play.
So... I guess this is my long-winded way of saying again, when they go low FUCKING HURT THEM!

I mean, what the hell? Even arm chair DU going "low" gets my posts flagged.
