The "FloriMAGAcangelicals" must be REALLY upset!

They prayed for a "Red Wave" to "save the nation", but they got a "Red Tide" that's stinking up their beaches!

Would it be possible for us to just decide that each individual's belief about the existence or

nonexistence of a God or Supreme Being or Spirit---or whatever---be entirely that person's concern and NO ONE would ever try to impose the lifestyle required by their belief on anyone else?

Or, would that be me imposing my belief in TOLERANCE on the intolerant?

Isn't it correct that, aside from an old and vague DOJ policy letter written by one attorney, there

is NO REASON AT ALL to withhold aTrump indictment just because he has decided to "play politics" again?

He COULD be indicted and prosecuted during the primary campaign OR the general election campaign, right?

A few possibly naive questions for DU barristers:

Is not an FCC-granted broadcast license required to be treated as a "public trust"?

If so, does a longstanding history of consistently lying to the American public about extremely important political issues some sort of offense or violation of that trust?

Is revocation of license a possible consequence?

Has FOX not admitted just such a violation?

Thanks for any input.

Barack Obama proved that, in America, anyone can become POTUS.

Donald Trump proved that literally ANYONE!!! can become POTUS.

What to do with Tucker? A modest proposal---

Strip him buck nekkid, dye his entire body fluorescent orange, tattoo "Your Quran is my toilet paper!" on his forehead and air-drop him into Mecca with a fluorescent green parachute.

Is that too "over the top"?

"Just askin'", Mr. Carlson----

If a large obscenity-screaming crowd broke through the windows and doors of your home, forced their way inside, smoked some dope, urinated on your floor, smeared feces on your wall, did countless thousands of dollars worth of damage and forced you to flee while they screamed for the death of one of your household, would you call those people "calm and peaceful tourists"?

HM-M-M?

"But, what if---", "What about---", "Waste of time!"

These are some of the phrases that don't accomplish anything except to make "perfect" the enemy of the "good".

Just because a proposed action has never been tried, is not 100% guaranteed to work or may not totally solve an entire problem does not mean those who propose them are fools; does not mean that the "imperfect" suggestions should not be tried.

Doing SOMETHING may not beat back the barbarians, but doing NOTHING invites them to take over our nation and ELIMINATE any who oppose them.

Democracy require participants, not spectators.
