The Supreme Court is about to get rolling. It's time to rotate positions on "activist judges" and settled law.

"My" GOP representative has rotated to closed hearings are bad mmm..kay. To be fair, he's in a district so red there's always someone worse running a sweep right and he is post-Benghazi.

Meanwhile, Jeff Flake claims that at least 35 GOP senators would vote to remove Trump if the vote were made secret. Absolute cowardice.

He can even shoot someone on Fifth Ave and still get elected. Extremism is now so rampant. So what has always been anti-social and corrupt behavior is now acceptable.

Why do you even endorse ethnic cleansing of Kurds? It is what has changed and is now acceptable.

"He grabs women's cunts."

I'm offended.

Dude, I say this with all the empathy in the world--you're having a rough week. You either weren't paying attention who you're talking to, or you've completely misconstrued my position in your mind. Take some deep breaths.

I have read your previous posts - with praise for The Don and for the people who support and praise him.

If you do not condom what The Don does and believes, then post it.

Meanwhile I say again, due to so many right wingers who blindly believe (with anger and threats) what they are told to believe. The Don (and his peers) have successfully even driven moderates out of the Republican party.

That Frontline piece demonstrates it clearly with a backstabbing of Eric Cantor - the House Majority leader. Same later happened to John Boehner. Because the party is now dominated by people who are told who to hate. Use hate to attract supporters. And do so with vindication only because they are told to. Inspired by a leader who is very good at promoting himself using hostility, insults, and constant lies.

(If) That being your other point: as I said, I agreed with the conclusion. But I do not believe (or know) if you believe or understand the reasons why. Since you have expressed agreement with The Don. Do not openly criticize him. And should.

You're insane. Trump is a misogynist, racist, narcissistic old man who's lost touch with reality both because of his wealth and his declining cognition. I've never suggested otherwise.

Perhaps you're confused because I recently called GOP senators who wanted a secret vote cowards. They are cowards--they should stand up for what they believe in.

Well this is a revelation. Since I only saw plenty of right wing recommendations under your name. But then you may have posted those characterizations elsewhere. I don't participate in all boards.

But yes. Anyone who disagrees with your accurate characterization must be doing the ostrich thing.

BTW, he never lost touch with reality. He has always been that way. He even trades in used wives when they get too old. And has a long history of doing things to women that Harvey Weinstein also did. Harvey was probably more prolific because he had better access. His business practices have always been to screw his counterparties. So he had lawyers such as Cohen. Even attacks his people that he once praised - once they are also used up or tell him truths.

He was never an honest businessman or safe among women. He did not change. He has always been that way. He could even shoot someone on Fifth Ave - just like any other Mafia Don.

Understand what has changed in the Republican party. A massive misinformation machine exists. See the example of Eric Cantor who should have won his reelection by 30 point. And then this massive Limbaugh, Fox, Hannity, Breitbart. Engles misinformation (propaganda) machine targeted him.

Okay so now Republicans support the Imperial Presidency and the Democrats oppose the Imperial Presidency. Interesting times.
