46878. arkymalarky - 2/14/2017 11:25:13 PM Intelligence community that trump so carelessly dissed is not going to let the connections go. When Mitch McConnell says it's going to be investigated, that sends a pretty strong message. 46879. judithathome - 2/15/2017 12:33:41 AM Hey...take a look at THIS...a Trump spokeswoman...Kellyanne Speaks For ALL! 46880. judithathome - 2/15/2017 12:46:23 AM Do you SERIOUSLY think Mitch McConnell is going to investigate anything?
I mean...REALLY??? 46881. arkymalarky - 2/15/2017 3:35:30 AM That's not the question. Mitch McConnell is probably the most despicable legislator in office right now, but he never says anything without a purpose. By saying what he said he is Telegraphing to the administration, and they would be wise to heed it. 46882. arkymalarky - 2/15/2017 3:36:30 AM The I read it is is that he saying you're on your way to fall and I will step aside and watch you splatter before I risk losing control of the Senate over you. 46883. arkymalarky - 2/15/2017 3:36:51 AM Way.... 46884. Trillium - 2/15/2017 4:46:22 PM There is a history of conflict between Flynn and Clapper:
lHead of Pentagon intelligence agency forced out, officials say
"In 2010, Flynn rankled many of his counterparts in the intelligence community when he published an article that was sharply critical of the information that spy agencies were assembling in Afghanistan. The effort was so focused on tracking insurgents that U.S. military and diplomatic leaders got little to help them understand the political, economic and cultural issues driving the insurgency." 46885. Trillium - 2/15/2017 4:47:37 PM Gen. Flynn has been a lifelong Democrat -- one of the factors that made the last election so different. The old party demarcations didn't matter so much.

46886. judithathome - 2/15/2017 5:52:50 PM Sorry...as soon as I saw FOX NEWS at the top of the page, I bailed on that link.
I DO read online but I'd rather read actual news and not Republican propoganda... 46887. judithathome - 2/16/2017 6:25:34 PM It's not enough that Trump is in the Oval Office...he is constantly stating the obvious that whether it was FAIR or not, HE WON....he even had to mention the numbers of the electoral college...."They didn't think I'd get even 202....!!" to Bebe Netanyahu.
What is WITH this asshole? I think Trevor Noah was correct last night: he's a crabby OLD MAN. He says all this stuff like an old grandpa repeating himself over and over...like he's saying it all for the first time.
Trump Is America's Xenophobic Grandpa 46888. judithathome - 2/18/2017 11:16:31 PM Can you imagine living in a country for years, working and paying taxes every single day in the things you buy like food and gas, etc. and now being afraid to send your kids off to school in the morning because you aren't sure you'll BE there in the afternoon to make them a snack when they arrive home and are ready to start their homework....because....you might have been rounded up and deported to Mexico? 46889. judithathome - 2/22/2017 1:27:16 AM Jesus H Christ.... Graffitti Found on National Momnuments
Since Trump has entered the White House, more and more of this stuff has happened...Jewish houses of worship and their cemetaries are being vandalized and immigrants are in fear for their lives...this man is delivering hatred and bile every single day....try to imagine what our country will look like at the end of four years.
That is, IF we still HAVE one....

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN:
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee.
The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.
With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance -- now Joe gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses and walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these benefits because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.
If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker's compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
46891. judithathome - 2/25/2017 11:37:20 PM (Con't)
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards.
He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans.
The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electricity.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself, so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.
Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have." 46892. Trillium - 2/26/2017 1:08:08 AM The writer's stretching a bit by bringing in subways (which are an urban, overwhelmingly Democrat phenomenon: D.C., NYC, LA). Republicans tend to remain "closeted" in those "Uniparty" cities. Trump, though recently identified as "Republican", was obligated to join the Democrat Party while building in NYC because it was the only way to get anything accomplished in that urban location.
Additionally, recent Republican leadership overwhelmingly supported Clinton/Democrat Party during the last election.

Neither of those leading name brands are the same gang as they were in 1860... or 1960... 46893. Trillium - 2/26/2017 1:08:43 AM Came here wondering what devoted Democrats think about the Perez pick. 46894. judithathome - 2/26/2017 1:23:44 AM I'm disappointed and think he's a bad pick...what is needed is a Howard Dean 50 state soultion and I think Perez has no way to understand that...I think Ellison would have been a far better choice. 46895. judithathome - 2/26/2017 1:24:32 AM "solution"...sorry... 46896. arkymalarky - 2/26/2017 2:05:26 AM Of the main ones I prefered buttigieg, but I'm fine with Perez. And the term is Democratic Trill dear. 46897. arkymalarky - 2/26/2017 2:08:22 AM I think that Independents and Democrats should just start thinking of all the creative ways they can pull a letter or two out of the word Republican. You could have all sorts of fun with that.
