More Kirsten Gillibrand Retweeted Donald J. Trump
You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office.

Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office begging for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED

Liked the way she tied herself to the women's marches. Did she march? (honest question)

Not a Gillibrand fan, but I hope she keeps this up.

When you are a minority party in morals and values, splitting Democrats is the way to stay in power.

This vile, goddamn ignorant oaf misogynistic pile of puttrid flesh MUST be removed from office.
He is mentally ill, yes, but even before his illness set in, he was foul.
GET HIM OUT.
The damage he has done and will do is closing in on irreparable.

He seems to have a way..though for the life of me, I don't see how!

(14,971 posts)They all walked the talk and there's nothing exceptional about the fact that Gillibrand did it. But until we take over the House and the Senate , Trump will remain in office. Anything else is just wishful thinking.

(12,631 posts)Subsequent mis-hearings and garblings are just the usual language mangling that goes on every day; that doesn't make them right. "He talks the talk. But does he walk the walk?" makes sense. nothing else does.

(99,710 posts)"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. "

I prefer the guy she had thrown out who held their feet to the fire under oath.

(63 posts)But this is not going to impact Trump's base at all. Do you really think any of those people who have already overlooked so much crassness from him, are suddenly now going to turn on him? It ain't happening.
And her retort falls back on the "You won't silence me" theme, which again just helps paint her as a "bitter feminist" to Trump's base. "You won't silence me" is still a defensive play.
She should be attacking his tax plan and hammering on the Russia collusion.
