I hope Zippy the Pinhead gets what's coming to him.

But again, with scheming mendacious malevolent jerks like this, I'm forced back to my basic question: WHO THE FUCK VOTES FOR THIS GUY???

Seriously.

WHO THE FUCK SEES FIT TO SEND JERKS LIKE THIS TO CONGRESS (and the Senate, too)?????

We have to look into that district, try to figure out where the weaknesses are, where the Democrats and other "friendlies" are - and make sure they VOTE. So we can kick this guy OUT OF POWER!!!

Is there any way to reach these Gowdy voters?

Or are they a lost cause and it's better and smarter to opt for Plan B (getting as many Democrats in that district out to VOTE)?

That may be the ONLY way to drain the swamp of reptiles like this guy. If his voters are unredeemable, then we overpower them with OUR voters. And who knows? Considering how the trends over the past few election cycles show that a million more Dems went out to vote than CONS, but because of gerrymandered districts, our majorities didn't count.

The only way to MAKE them count is to go local in our voter strategies - and build from the ground up - so we TAKE BACK the districts - for 2018 and even more important: 2020. Remember: That's a CENSUS YEAR. Always on the "zero-years". The population is counted, statistics are updated based on population changes, and Congressional districts are REAPPORTIONED. And whoever has the majorities in the statehouses gets to redesign the districts based on the findings in the new census.

NOW you're talking, White House Correspondents Association!

EXCELLENT work!

There's no way they qualify for credentials. NONE.

Sure serves up some food for thought, doesn't it.

Several restaurant chains' worth.

Even then, though, he'll still be trying to

exert influence. He won't willingly climb down from the biggest dream job he's ever dared to imagine. This has been his wet-dream for YEARS, being in a position this powerful and influential and so loaded with possibilities.

He won't give it up without a murderously dirty fight, and I further suspect, once he realizes it's a losing effort, he'd try to take as many of his adversaries as possible down with him.

I'd expect he wouldn't give this up and go quietly. He seems like the type whose mentality is - "if I have to shed blood, YOU'RE gonna shed MORE."

A synonym for trump.

Aka - a perfect description.

IMPEACH!!! Besides, that way, it doesn't have to be a long four years.

And yes, I know that means pResident Pence, but either way, both their "terms" would be short, quite truncated, and marked by turmoil. I doubt Pence would get much done, either.

Then we could wipe away the stain of BOTH of them in 2020.

Very nice, Binkie!

Works for me!

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
