This! They get how absolutely awful and crazy this is and they are part of it. Yes! An attempt to act like they aren't culpable for helping keep this man in office. Plus, if you really are an underground resister, you keep your mouth shut. This person will eventually be outed and act like a hero and make money from the situation. It's disgusting on every level.

Every time I think things can't possibly get any crazier. My God. How can anyone alive now respect the government again? I know I won't.

@DRW50What a beautiful video. That about made my day. OK, so the hand signal was fake and I fell for it. I hate when the disinformation trolls get me.

No kidding.

Is 45 the rat or the seal?

Amen.

Yes. These terrible people feel entirely too comfortable launching these kinds of racists attacks. At this point it's impossible to be surprised. I'm sure he's getting death threats like that woman in Vermont.

Neo Nazis are targeting Andrew Gillum. I really hope he wins. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/racist-robocalls-tied-to-neo-nazi-group-target-andrew-gillum/ar-BBMIuvv

Perhaps he should have said "real" chance. Still, in this type of high stakes scenario I'm not sure "good" is the wrong word. If someone said I had a 25% chance of winning the lotto tomorrow I would think that's a damn good chance. If it's really true that there is a 25% chance the cover up works, I find that pretty damn terrifying.

Is it really possible to put a reliable number on a scenario like this?

Yes. Also, I think some of them thought they could ride the ratings wave, but he couldn't really win. I remember they were being accused of pretending the race was closer than it was just to keep people interested, but really they were underestimating him the whole time.

This is the kind of wrong that can never be made right. Those people are gone forever and it didn't have to be that way. It's really frustrating to watch this incompetent and spiteful administration cause so much damage. Absolutely disgusting. What an ass. He'll claim he didn't mean it "that way", but I'm pretty sure I haven't heard that expression in 30 years.

Do you think he can beat the Republican? I haven't lived in Florida for six years, so I haven't kept up with the political situation there. Florida seems like a place where demographics must eventually lead to more democrats being elected. I'm not one to believe demographics alone can save us on the whole, but dare I hope Florida is at a tipping point?

Here's hoping it stays that way in the months and years to come.

^ Yes, it is, although it sounds like they taking others as well now.

^ Good news. I had no idea about this was happening. How awful and I doubt any human rights agency or government will be able to step in and save them. "The sheer scale of the internment camp system, which according to The Wall Street Journal has doubled in China’s northwestern Xinjiang region just within the last year, is mindboggling."

Ugh.

Yes. I'm not one to idealize people simply because they are ill or even dead. I was planning to keep my mouth shut on McCain, but I will say that he sacrificed more than I ever have (or ever hope to) for this country. My favorite story is how his wife brought their baby daughter home from an orphanage in Bangladesh. She never even discussed adopting her and told him it was happening at the airport with the baby in her arms. She had a developmental problem (maybe cleft palate) and they got her treatment and he acted like a new father right from the start. That's a real man and that's honor. I won't even bother to make the obvious comparison to that monster we have in the white house.

Yes. I love that Trump is besieged by gadflies on all sides. He is being dogged on so many issues. It has to be driving him nuts.

Are we still pretending that being honored or praised by 45 is to be desired? I can hardly think of a greater honor for someone like John McCain than being reviled by that man.

Remember the baseball game where those congressmen were shot? Even being the victim of shooting doesn't seem to wake some of these guys up. It's insane. Maybe they care about their money more than their lives. As to why men commit the vast majority of violent crime, I think it has to be an interplay of sociological and biological reasons.

It's not the reason, even if it's the "reason". That's like saying a man punched his wife because dinner wasn't on the table on time. No, he was f*cked up and unstable and this set him off. If it hadn't been one thing it would have been another. Normal people don't shoot others because things aren't going their way.

Is this real life?

I can't deny, especially because:
