Trump impeachment Movement

Yes, we all want it to happen. However, until the GOP finds its morals and backbone and retrieves its testicles from 45, nothing will happen. We all beat the drum, but not a damn thing will happen. Ever. The Republican Party needs to own treason, pure and simple. However, they don't care and why should they? We have nothing to offer as a viable alternative.

The Liberals (us) need to do several things VERY SOON:
* Figure out what the hell we stand for
* What we won't tolerate
* Craft the message
* Send it out

Once we have a real alternative to the screwups that are running this country now, THEN we can begin the campaign to take back our land.

OK, so this seems like it's in the wrong place, but it's not. We are supposed to debunk right wing Trumpery here. I think we need to debunk our own messages as well. We need to closely examine our own propaganda and taste our Koolaid with discernment. IMO, we have no real alternative yet. It's in our hearts, and we all know it when we hear it in the messages from Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and others. Now we must come together and learn to craft, then articulate the Message.

Which clown is scarier? "It" or 45?

Discuss among yourselves...

Is the GOP leadership as stupid as they seem?

In Washington state we have Susan Hutchison as our GOP chair. She couldn't grasp the simplest truth, just keeps repeating the party line "DFT is great".

As long as we have folks like her in Republican leadership, our country will remain a laughingstock for the world.

How to fight for the ACA

There are a number of things we can all do to help educate our country on what we are about to lose. This is a brainstorming thread.

The neo administration just axed the top brains in State

Source: Reuters

The Trump administration has accepted the resignations of two top State Department officials effective on Friday, a step entirely within the new president's rights but an abrupt departure for the diplomats, officials said on Thursday.

Under Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy and acting Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Thomas Countryman both plan to leave their posts by Friday, the officials said.

Turnover is the rule, rather than the exception, among the top officials in the U.S. government when the White House changes hands from one party to another, in this case from Democrat Barack Obama to Republican Donald Trump.

One of these career diplomats is family to a close friend and I've known him for many years. A brilliant, dedicated peacemaker who has brokered many arms control treaties through the years. Rachel Maddow says he did not go of his own accord, I haven't been able to get any news of my own about this. The inmates have taken over the asylum.

RUSSIAN HOOKER WHO HAD SEX WITH DONALD TRUMP MOCKS HIS TINY PENIS

Source: World News Daily Report

“Many parts of his body are too small, not only his hands,” she told the Moscow Daily Herald. “I’ve slept with hundreds of men and I’ve seen some small penises, but he’s by far the smallest I’ve ever seen.”

She described Mr.Trump’s genitals as being the size of a grape, barely one inch (2.5cm) long when fully erect.

You will love this- one more thing he lied about during the debates. His little willy is so tiny, his 3 girls that night laughed about it. Read the link for details.

DFT taught my elderly mother in law about Golden Showers

And the GOP sees nothing wrong with that. This is so wrong on many levels.

All I wanted was for Obama to undo the Constitutional damage W caused.

He totally failed at that, and actually "upgraded" the Patriot Act. Habeus Corpus is in tatters and we are OK with that?

So now we will have a whole new set of edits to the Constitution that will have to be undone. Our new part time POTUS and his cronies will rebuild the system to benefit themselves at the expense of the rest of the world. This needs to be a key part of the DNC rebuild, because justice hasn't been a part of the GOP since the Religious Right came in during the Reagan years.

Social Justice.
Economic Justice
Ecological Justice
Political Justice
Military Justice

It's time to begin the rebuild process of the DNC, and yes the ideas of Bernie and Jennifer are a great place to start.

USA went from First Black President to the first racist

How did we jump to such a polar opposite?

Melania Trump needs to be known as the Third Lady, not the first

We need to remind the right wing religious wackos of their awful choice, and how they chose to elect a man who has had three different wives. Why did he dump them? Because they had the audacity to age. This is Genuine Right Wing Family Values at its finest.

From this day forth, Trumps trophy wife shall be known as TLOTUS.
