4. I wish Joy had mentioned this

during a very good discussion on the attacks against Ilhan Omar.

The discussion is still going on

I agree -- she is usually good, but today was even better than good.

6. Ya know what? In his typically weird, horrible way, Trump did Omar a favor.

Because now, instead of slagging her because she made a few ham-handed comments about AIPAC, her colleagues in Congress and others are avidly defending her. The spotlight will be on his huge transgression - inciting violence against a member of Congress - and not on her inartful language.

[FakeNoose]

11. Agreed - but it's also a big distraction

... and that was Chump's main goal, as always.

18. I wish reporters COULD yell that

It's frustrating that the press must be, at least on paper, nuetral. While the politician in front of them is bald face lying in their faces and they know it.

Because then every reporter goes back and the story is spun by each network. And the Fox zombies will hear it a whole different way

24. Yes

7. Republicanism has become synonymous with hypocrisy.

[RVN VET71]

35. It always leaned that way - viz Harding, Nixon, Reagan

But Trump has "purified" the party and there are no Jacob Javitses or John Lindsays left. Now it''s all fascists, all the way down, irretrievably so.

[TruckFump]

8. Wow...that speaks volumes!

Have to add, the list of Repukes who did not sponsor such the bill -- not the least bit surprising.

28. It's time for Democrats to stick behind Democrats.

There is a right wing push (narrative) that Democrats are in turmoil because of a far left, Socialist, agenda.

The way to counter that narrative is to say, I am an FDR Democrat. Let Republicans fight against that talking point.

29. One tv ad against Issa announcing he repeatedly voted ag 911 First Responders began his forced exit

There are still many vile Repugs in the Senate and House who voted against health coverage for the 911 First Responders. And they have finessed, to sunset it, so they can fight every time against renewing this coverage

Dems must seize the opportunity this Trummp/ Repugs sewer lever hypocrisy is offering while it's front page news: One ad
naming all the sitting Repugs that fought against the 911 First Responders Bill & one ad listing Trump's grifting & lies on 911.
(he bilked the 911 Fund out of $150,000 w fake damage claim, lied he lost many friends (he lost none), cleared rubble himself(he was miles away), saw People jumping (again, was miles away), gave to 911 charity (no records,proof). He even bragged the day the Towers fell, like immediately,that he now had the tallest bldg in NYC!

It is way past time for the Democrats to tell the truth to America about their elected Repugs' 911 lies, hypoicrisy and outright
cruelty against the First Responders. Trump's despicable tv ad is now this wide open opportunity for Democrats. It's the truth that derailed Darrel Issa, one of the most entrenched,powerful, richest Congressmen; one 911 vote made public put Issa in the exit lane within this district and began gto tip the district blue.
