Thanks for posting this, jodymarie aimee.

I sure needed this.

Saving it in my quotes file.

Welcome to DU, 44fan4life!

I'm not plugged in on things like Reddit, so I don't know what it means when something gets locked on Reddit. Something bad, I'd guess.

Glad it's here! If it stayed on Reddit, I'd never have seen it in the first place! Thanks to pscot for posting it here!

I can understand how you feel.

I'd wonder, because this asshole is so self-centered and almost toxically narcissistic and freakin' IGNORANT, he might interpret that as a bunch of surrender gestures.

It's damn easy to be cynical these days. I sure feel that way - most of the time. I'd bet he won't get the message. And if it's explained to him, he'll just brush it off like the pompous self-centered and almost toxically narcissistic and freakin' IGNORANT asshole he is.

If it were me, I'd probably do what Maxine Waters is doing. NOT showing up at all. I don't even plan to watch. Until 9pm Pacific time (midnight, Eastern), that is. The speech will be over and MSNBC will have a special hour with Bill Maher, Michael Moore, Kathy Griffin, Rob Reiner, and other incisive observers, commenting on the speech. I will definitely tune in for that!

AND on top of that, she was sitting like that on one of the sofas - with her shoes still on.

She had her shoes on the furniture. In the Oval Office. The LEAST she could have done if she MUST put her feet on the furniture is to take her damn shoes off! What was on the bottom of them that got on that elegant (and probably expensive) brocade upholstery - IN THE OVAL OFFICE???? GREASE and/or grime and dirt from the STREET? On that beautiful, expensive, and historic furniture - that's probably going into some museum display someday? Does she do that at home? Does she get her dirty shoes all over HER sofa at home? Does she teach her kids to be so thoughtless? Shit, I didn't let my kids do that on the plastic chairs in the outside eating area at McDonalds!

Get your dirty shoes off the furniture, little girl.

Welcome to DU, chrisgal!

I am a Luddite, too. TOTAL technophobe! But I took the plunge and now I'm enjoying it quite a bit! If I can do it, you can become a master at it, because I know I'm at the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to understanding anything with buttons or "command" keys.

It does take a little time, but all you have to do is start reading around. If you go up to that long narrow horizontal space at the top of your screen where you can type in "Google" or whatever (I'm so lame I don't even know what the name of that space is), just type in Joy Reid, or The Rude Pundit, or Rachel Maddow, or Chuck Schumer, or Elizabeth Warren (or somebody whose Twitter name is at the bottom of an article they wrote in the NYTimes or Washington Post or HuffPo or some such, whoever you want to read more from), and in the little thing that drops down from up there, you'll see a bunch of choices. One of 'em is bound to be, for example, "Elizabeth Warren twitter". Click on that and it'll take you to a Google page that has her Twitter address. It'll have the "@" thingie in front of everything.

Please forgive me if you know all this already. You have no idea how long it took me to understand something this simple! I mean - I still don't know what the name of that long narrow horizontal space is, up at the top of the screen. Mine, right now, has
"democraticunderground.com" showing on it. I just started reading. And I'm learning more, bit by bit, just by observing.

I'm pretty good at understanding emails, but strictly at an entry level.

Welcome to DU, BBri!

The problem is - facts. REAL facts, not the "alternative facts" that those groups tend to cling to, are nonpartisan.

But Stephen Colbert reminded us awhile ago that reality has a liberal bias.

What I like is how well she connects the dots. I feel like watching her is attending a master class.

Those would work. Or an Emmy.

Pulitzers are for print.

Girlfriend! I freakin' love this woman!

She is RIGHTEOUS! I am SO glad (not to mention grateful - and relieved!) that she's on our side!

Give 'em HELL, Maxine!

YES!!! Now let's take Tom Price's seat in GA!

It IS working but we need to make sure we keep up the momentum!
