repub Members Of Congress CAN & WILL stand with this dangerous, disturbed and deceitful man.

Tom Cotton already proclaimed through his LIES that he supports what Drumpf said.

I'd prefer to call him Trump. IMO, "Drumpf" is too much like when the right called Obama "Obummer" which never seemed all that clever.

They changed it because they did not like the way it sounds.

That is exactly why I try to call him by that, since I'm sure he would be offended.

where John Kasich said we should just move on. He called trumps comments a "mistake" and claimed that attention to these comments is just reality TV. He refused to say the comments were racist because he's "not a name caller".

His views on immigration are very humane (for a republican) but he refuses to call out trump or republicans. This should not stand!

on every major network, via social media, and published by every major newspaper on their front page to aggressively call for the GOP to start impeachment proceedings right away. She is sounding this urgent alarm very well. Thank God we have good leaders like Maxine.

Why is it that the women of color in our Senate and House of Representatives are often the ones who boldly step forward to take action and not mince words? Why is that?

(Making notes to self: more women of color in our Congress as a goal? Since they don't seem to go along to get along.)
