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.

Any ideas?!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
