These dot connections are connecting at one level, or one little group at a time - it has to add up against traitortrump.

someone.

Buddhists say greed, hate and delusion lead to suffering of mankind. I try to have a Buddhist practice but it is so hard not to hate trump.

Here he is spending our money, time and treasure just to protect his own ass. He has no other motivation in his life.

I consider the flies on the dog turds i my back yard have more justifiable reason for existence than he has.

Per the rules of karma he may come back as a fly on a piece of shit. I hope so and soo.

She was reporting on Trump's ranting about a coup. Then she concluded her segment by noting that impeachment is a constitutional, legal proceeding and NOT a coup.

After telling the TV screen "THANK YOU," I pondered, "Now, was that really so hard to do?"

When your conservative friends try to tell you what you're thinking (laughable on its face), and that you're trying to undo the 2016 election, tell them that if that were the case, you'd be trying to install Hillary Clinton, the popular vote winner. Impeachment is the procedure for removing a government official guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Jim Acosta has always been a true Journailst.

But I loved it when the Finnish Prime Minister interrupted a Trump tirade saying,“ that question was for me,” then went on to praise the many decades of success of the WTO.

The IG just turned over folders from Trump Hotels that were full of propaganda. On CNN not MSNBC.
