Our Only Hope is for Democrats to Stand Up to the POTUS
I never thought I'd see the day where I prayed that the rank and file Democrats would stand up to the Corprocrats that obviously fill our President's handlers.

I hope our Dems stand strong, because now they will have to defend SS from the admin, who think the 14th amendment will not work.

I hope and pray that our real dems act like real dems.

1. Oh, I hope so, too.
Otherwise, it's bye bye Dem Party.

3. That 14th Amendment story is bullshit
They don't know whether or not it will work until they try it, someone challenges them and the courts decide. In the meantime - viola! The debt ceiling crisis is averted and the world economy stays out of the shitter. Or maybe nobody challenges it and a precedent is set.

The brainiacs in this administration are either the worst poker players in the world or they are in bed with the corporate crooks that seem to be the only people that benefit from fake crises like this.

5. I handed out Humphrey stickers when I was 13 years old
and have supported the Democratic Party ever since.

If those sons-of-bitches cave in to the goddamn pukes and cut SS or Medicare, it will be a goddamn cold day in hell before I vote for the sons-of-bitches ever again.

I'll vote for the goddamn Socialists or some other sons-of-bitches, but I'll never vote for that sorry-ass shyster Ralph Nader.

6. 14th Ammendment sounds good but in this climate the GOP wiould
yell IMPEACH.

The 14th is not as simple as it might sound.
There are some complicating circumstances.
