Rather than not talking about Trump we should be. Looking at him from every angle and

criticizing him:

"57% of Likely Republican Voters now think Trump is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee next year, with 25% who say it’s Very Likely".

They are going all out against Hillary. We should be against him.

on trump with a link. Salon was named as one of those websites. I don't agree. I think we need to get going and discuss him in depth. Get all the takes on him. Have our own narrative on him and what he means.

Up in V&M about all his corrupt business practices of the last 25 years. Very telling.


He's a crook and a self promoter.

Suffice it to say, I was not shocked or surprised any longer that there is an undercurrent of not just hate (for me), but intolerance,

Yes, it is that personal at this point. But when people actually justify what happened, well reminds me of things like "they thought they were free," and what my dad, may he rest in peace, used to tell me before he died about Hitler's rise to power and the holocaust.

would get me kicked out of this place at this point, But between Saturday and tonight, I am actually quite angry. Good news, I got some wonky stuff to go over. Waiting for the video to transfer to check the quality of them.

People either don't listen to what he is saying or they agree with him.

He is very scary!

you did not get shat on.

a couple of people pointed out a couple of facts that you missed and you had (another) tantrum


suggestion for a sig line:

I won't post with you!


then you won't have to repeat in virtually every post you make how you won't post anything on DU because we are all so stupid and unworthy
