Well, even Bullwinkle finally figured out "I think it's other than the hat". And Bullwinkle, in the Kerwood Derby episodes, was established as the dumbest beast on the planet.<br /><br />Move over, Bullwinkle, there's a lot of contenders for the crown nowadays, and you don't even make the top (bottom) ten.JDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385434976791599640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-89020635006381780642018-06-05T20:44:59.214-05:002018-06-05T20:44:59.214-05:00I hope you've sent this to EJ.I hope you've sent this to EJ.ziplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598155009698341891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-38023340889265934102018-06-05T16:56:01.319-05:002018-06-05T16:56:01.319-05:00Hitler's ratings were good in Germany until th...Hitler's ratings were good in Germany until they weren't. Its about the same with all dictatorships. People feel the need for change, but frequently it isn't until its too late that they realize change for change's sake just isn't a good thing. On the other hand some of dump's supporters may not realize anything until they don't have a vehicle and big screen t.v.e.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-42038636050723994892018-06-05T16:32:09.282-05:002018-06-05T16:32:09.282-05:00There's nothing, nada, zilch, zip, zero that a...There's nothing, nada, zilch, zip, zero that any Libtard can do - whether in a positive, reasonable, pleasant, kind way or by being a nasty shitty effed up asshole - that will ever ever ever make a dent in Republicans.<br /><br />The Republican Party (note: NOT the "Trump Party") has for decades brainwashed their dupes and marks to loath, detest, despise, hate and fear all others out there who are not them - those of different hued skin tones, those of different ethnic backgrounds, those who follow different religious practices, and for feck's sake those who dare to vote Democratic.<br /><br />Ergo, "making nice" or whatever is going to do EFF ALL to make any difference to Republicans. Like any schoolyard bully (which they have been brainwashed to be one), they just laugh and spit at us. How else would they behave?<br /><br />The only reason for liberals/progressives/independents/whatever to behave in sane, rational, polite ways is because YOU want to behave that way. Because that is who YOU are. Because YOU are not a fucking shitholed asshole. <br /><br />And that's it.<br /><br />There's NO "reaching out" to Republicans. They are NOT interested, and they will not "play ball" with anyone other than their own tribe of hateful, nasty, spitful, deplorable, bigoted, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic jerks.

The The SCOTUS might have agree with him on DOCA but Obama is acting like a dictator. <br />And, I am not even going to sit down and meet with SCOTUS nominee Merrick Garland (27 yr vet of the Bench with a distinguished record. Not even sit down and talk, no vote. It is Scalia's seat and the Koch Brothers have a justice they want on the SCOTUS bench. <br />God didn't realize when he called Scalia home to heaven to fill a judicial seat there that Obama would be a choosing to replace him.<br /><br />But now,<br />My GOP senators keep asking why the Dems won't do everything they (the GOP majority) want to do? Why are the Dems blocking "everything".<br />To which they cannot block anything especially when majority changes rules to subvert any minority say.<br /><br />Like filibuster for a SCOTUS justice. removal of the blue chip rule for senators to have say in judges regarding their states. (bye State rights).<br /><br /><br />So the GOP goes over the cliff (again) and they want others on board to take responsibility. Campaign patsy to be exact.<br />I have already heard that "a Dem voted for our right wing bill so that means they all must agree with the GOP and therefore any disagreement or harm it causes (to you) should be directed at those Dems.<br /><br />For Obama, over reaching authority (dictator and must be reined in).<br />Those republican tears are now blunt lead pipes being used to ignore the <br />GOP Lord of the plantation of any breaching of the constitutional levee.<br /><br />The theme; Ideological goal posts have been moved again.<br /> Further to the right. So those on the left need to be reasonable and come together with moderate extreme GOPers to elect a perceived moderate republican who can win. To over come the "Trump republican party"?<br /><br />So bring the left more to the right and the rights extreme's should appear more moderate.<br />\There is this mumbling about the fears of harm to the country if the left goes to Left because the right went to it's extreme and further. We have to bring the country together by the left being moderate enough to move center (or more) to the right. For the country, mind you.<br /><br />Political Aesop once said;<br />There is not enough air to breath 30 feet under water as there is any more air to breath 3 feet uder water.Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-30271383846698356792018-06-05T12:33:04.240-05:002018-06-05T12:33:04.240-05:00I'd love to be sympathetic to all these "...I'd love to be sympathetic to all these "let's reach out to the <i>trumpenproletariat</i>" pleas, but first, I need to see evidence that standard-issue Republicans care to reach out to us while still unarmed.Abu Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042644295020578484noreply@blogger.com
