    The 4 members of the "squad" are the new face of the Democrats and their star . Pelosi lied yesterday on their behalf during the hearing before the sanction vote . House rules say that her calling Trump a racist was not permitted .But she said it anyway and claimed she had it cleared by the House Parliamentarian. That was a lie. She should've put them in her place back in January .

    AYANNA PRESSLEY: This is a distraction.

    RASHIDA TLAIB: This is a distraction.

    GAYLE KING: You say the word “distraction,” what do you say to those who say the four of you are also a distraction?

    ILHAN OMAR: The insinuation of that question in itself is also a distraction.

    This country has endured 3 years of lies and subterfuge and nasty mouth utterings from this WH. Now all of a sudden dems get blasted by the right for crying FOUL. It took how long to rein in King from Iowa, and now you call foul on 4 women of color, Okay I get silly season is in full swing and the rhetoric flies all over the place. Looks like base vs base, the racists against the women of color.

    Don't need to hold my nose for this easy peasy choice.

    You forgot the nasty mouth utterings absent during Obama, and dismiss the lies and subterfuge of the dufus on STEROIDS. Big difference between a spring rain and a hurricane with high winds and huge floods.

    No, I didn't. Read the post again. Obama was a polished, slick pol. Trump is a loud-mouthed businessman who just says what he thinks. Now that's not good, but at least we know where he stands. We never really knew that with Obama.

    Maybe you did NOT, but is that his fault? I knew where he was coming from and the challenges he faced. So did the majority of America. Now that's a fact. I avoid talking about the dufus and his minority view and obvious flaws that bring out the worst in YOU, and ME! Obviously I disagree that Obama and the dufus are equally proficient.

    GOP leaders voted to strip King of all committee assignments.Three Republicans ,Liz Cheney,Mitt Romeny Chris Stewart called for King's resignation. Kings comments were made in a NY TImes interview . Not on the house floor as Pelosi's were when she violated House rules yesterday. How many Dems voted to censure Rashid Tllaib when she said “impeach the motherf---er” ?

    You don't think the dufus has said and done worse? Repubs refuse to hold him accountable or reign him in.

    Bernie is a good little socialist, appealing to the staving masses

    Good heavens, paid campaign staff, now there is a new concept for a socialist. You mean to say the Demonrats don't do it for love

    you know ;you are right . The idea of paying staff must be a foreign concept for the like of Bolshevik Bernie. When you look at it that way ,he is being very generous . I'm sure Bernie's staff utilizes the old Soviet mantra
    "As longas my boss pretends to pay me well, I will pretendto work hard."

    Bwaaahaaa haa ! Evita spent more money on lunches than any Russian organization paidFacebook for ads and news feeds .
    $46,000 was spent on Russian linked Facebook ads .That amounts to about 0.05 percent of the $81 million spent on Facebook ads by the Clinton and Trump campaigns combined.

    The amounts don't change the fact that the Russians invaded social media for the dufus, or he knew and has to date denied it publically multiple times.

    the facts are the the Ruskie pajama boys were doing it against both sides . They wanted to create chaos and the Dems in an effort to change the legitimate outcome gave them the chaos they seeked .

    The dufus was a pretty good chaos campaigner himself as I remember it, but the numbers say turnout in key states were down enough for the dufus to squeak through so the rest is history. Hey there is enough blame on both sides here that delivered us this outcome, but mostly we dropped the ball.

    There are no facts the Russians were supporting HC. In fact, the opposite is true - as everybody on the planet knows by now, except for you.

    They hacked the DNC, had the emails released, etc., etc., etc. It's only the far right that continues this baloney, and that's simply a tactic to accuse the other side of what your side has been accused of. Goebbels was a master at this, blaming the Jews for the very things he was doing.
  • Jul 22, 2019, 01:58 PM

    ummm even James Comey testified that the Ruskies attempted hacks at RNC sites ,but were less successful. Maybe that is because they weren't using home made servers hidden in their basements like Evita did.

    and besides . The observation was about "
    Russians invaded social media" for Trump .I already pointed out that the pajama boy troll farms did not spend enough on social media to make a dent in the outcome .Besides Facebook and Twiiter ,their limited resources were used on Instagram,Youtube ,Pintarest etc. Their intent was
    to exploit societal fractures, erode our trust in media entities and the information environment, and in government. They played both sides and their efforts did not amount to a hill of beans.

    Brett Gordon and Florian Zettelmeyer of Northwestern University and two Facebook employees, Neha Bhargava and Dan Chapsky, published a paper
    on the efficiency of 15 Facebook advertising campaigns. Their most interesting finding was that methods which look at how many people were exposed to an ad and how many bought a product ;tend to overestimate the true effect of ads.
    The main reason? Many of the people exposed to an ad or a post about a product would have bought it anyway. It's no different with candidates or causes.

    There may be something to that Tom, as no matter what the dufus says or does those for him, stay with him. Repubs have NO choice but to back him no matter, what if they intend to survive any local election. Scary thought that 46% can beat 48%, but repubs have been working hard for years to find a way to hold on and overcome most of the country being against you.

    Will 2020 be the same? Sure looks like that's the repub bet. If you imagine less than that 46% winning again, and the senate holding we may be in big trouble. TURNOUT is the key for us no doubt. We need that 50 or better to make the case for repub obstruction and antics. For sure 46% is not a mandate for anything but the dufus plunges ahead like it is.

    if the Dems pick someone from the freak show then Trump will get a majority as well as an electoral land slide . The only question will be if he has coat tails .You don't believe me ? Nixon went into 1972 guilty as hell and the Dems proceeded to challenge him with the most radical lefty in the field Nixon ,carried 49 states . And McGovern using today Dem standards was Joe Biden-like moderate .

    You do understand the task in front of the Dems don't you ? Since WWII only 2 incumbent Presidents lost reelection .Carter and GHW Bush . The thing they have in common is that the economy was in deep recession .

    So for the Dems to win they have to hope for a bad economy next year (that is most likely not going to happen ) OR successfully impeach Trump in the next 15 months .

    That is why you are going to see their Hail Mary attempt tomorrow . They are all collectively doing novenas tonight praying that Mueller goes along with their game plan.

    If repubs can get the biggest freak ever to a win, then we must do the same whoever it is. I'm more interested in the senate. but if the dems define the Mueller Report with their questions then the facts come out. No I don't want the economy to tank to get rid of the dufus, but would love to have the economy improve, and get rid of the dufus. That would restore faith in my fellow countrymen and JUSTICE!

    Sound very clear to me, but I can understand suffering from some derangement or another. LOL, JL thinks everyone is deranged as he may be, and to be fair he could be right...sort of. I have my moments, but what do you expect surrounded by loonies and NUTS!
