Screw them.

Know what? Screw them no matter what. It’s too late. 3 1/2 years of chaos, destruction, destabilization, and they had any number of stops along the way to do something.

They didn’t do a damned thing.

At this point, after all that’s gone by in 2020, we don’t need one damned republican to get rid of this asshole. All we need is to get out the Democratic vote, but we need to get it out and keep it out.

I don’t want to be looking at the next republican presidential nominee as anything other than a powerless windbag with no following, no constituency, and no voters.

And I can honestly say that there ARE Republicans who have seen the light and error of their ways, and who won't be voting for fat ass again.

However, you'll NEVER, EVER get help nor any love from these thuglicans. ALL of them very powerful, racist, treasonous and vile.

MoscowMitch is a racist, hateful, evil, rotten-ass piece of shit with absolutely NO redeeming qualities. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

NOPE, I'll never give that son of a bitch one benefit of a doubt. Not one. Yes, I hate him and people like Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Der Fuhrer Stephen Miller, Devin "I sued a cow account on twitter" Nunes, that racist/ratchet beyotch Marsha Blackburn--and I could go on and on naming the party of putin assholes (Formerly the GOP) who don't give one fuck about a person of color. Kids in cages. Racist police or about a fat, mentally ill, ignorant, narcissistic piece of shit who is hell-bent on turning the USA into ru$$ia, who outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg, looks worse than a slum because his buddy Vlad and the other ruskie oligarchs have financially raped and destroyed their country. I'm sure not everyone over in Russia is racist or whose ignorant that's cheering on what's happening here in the USA. Nope. But some are happy to see this country going through what we're going through with the pandemic spiking again, the racial unrest, riots, and fat tRumpcaronavirus destroying the 'mighty' USA etc.

I'm going to be as active in this election cycle than I've ever been in my entire life. I don't want to get blindsided. Please let me so I can check it out. Thank you (also, any links would help)....

First is, how would we know he's having a mental breakdown? How would that be different from his usual behavior?

Second, why don't they actively oppose his renomination? Propose a competent Republican? Assuming they can find one, that is.

Third, are they going to come out and overtly support Biden?

Sat Jun 6, 2020, 01:45 PM
Jun 2020

After I saw the previous ad of this group, I went to their website to check it out. And there were the stories and video clips of all these voters who voted for Trump in the last presidential election, but would never do so again. My big question for them was: OK, Morans - why the heck couldn't you have figured out that Trump was bad news before you voted in the last election? It was painfully clear to me. I wanted to post a comment to that effect somewhere on their site, but it seemed to be geared only to those Republican voters who voted for Trump in the last election but would never do so again. We gotta seriously come to grips with why we fell for this con man in the first place, so we never make the same kind of mistake again. The best I can figure out is that too many people were blindly mesmerized by the carefully cultivated image of the successful businessman and investor that Trump broadcasted on The Apprentice. That speaks volumes for the ability of the boob tube to hypnotize us all, and hold us in its grip.

I guess my wish for Trump, because I do try not to hate, is that he can feel the full weight of the misery he's caused. That he might understand and be sorry for what he's done to this republic and its people.

I wonder if anything can cut through his narcissistic personality disorder, though.

And, you know, I said I don't hate...but I FERVENTLY dislike. He's a miserable, pathetic excuse for a president if there ever was one. Just a sick little man with a twisted mind and a shriveled soul.

Sat Jun 6, 2020, 05:23 PM
Jun 2020

And its not even "dirty work" in that everything in it is actual footage, or reports. Nothing made up.

But the dirty word for Democrats is SENSATIONALISM. Underplay everything rather than overplay. Criticize, but without offending anyone too much. And make sure you NEVER could be accused of exaggerating to make a point. Example: They used Trump's mocking of a disabled reporter as an image to make a more general point. Washington Democrats live in such a fear of offending Fox News viewers for no fucking reason I can fathom.

And just to be clear to everyone, this red machine will be in full force against Democrats, once Republicans ever nominate a more diplomatic sounding, smooth talking, smarter version of Trump who will give better cover to Mitch or whomever is a Republican speaker in future to enact the same policies they are pushing now.

We desperately need some kind of new PR department of our own that is not afraid to roll up its sleeves and beat them at their own game after this. For now, we have to rely on Republicans. Sad but I'll take it.......for now.
