I'll never understand how people can say President Obama was only President to half the country and then claim to not be racist. He tried to be President to everyone. He did more for the working class of all races than Trump ever will. Conservatives are always saying how divisive he was, but what action did he ever take that was divisive? His mere existence as a black man doesn't count.

And this! The Paul Ryan faction of the party know Trump is a danger and embarrassment, but they'll do anything to get their agenda through.

Preach it Wendy. Let's add to all this that : 1. Trump lies constantly. I have never seen a more shameless and prolific liar in my entire life. 2. A free press is the corner stone of democracy and Trump is constantly trying to undermine it. 3. He retweets white supremacists and Muslim hating extremists, which is obviously a tacit endorsement. He has ripped the social fabric of our nation apart. 4. He is bringing us to the brink of war with North Korea. 5. He is contemplating starting an intelligence agency that is loyal to him personally. Think on that a bit. What's next, secret police? 6. He is giving ICE a free hand to terrorize people including sick little girls. What kind of human being hounds a scared little girl in her hospital bed? The kind I don't want holding a badge and gun, but these types thrive under Trump, Remember in history class when they talk about the holocaust and warn you that if you aren't vigilant it could happen again. Yeah, this is who and what they were talking about. The only thing those of us resisting are doing wrong is being too complacent. I see now how the Nazi's came to power. Step by step the evil becomes normal and it's hard to do anything about it on the individual level.

I don't keep up with her at all. Just that story made her sound kind of unhinged, but sure, it could all be fake.

Clearly something is wrong with her in the literal sense. You don't change positions like that overnight unless there is some kind of imbalance going on, imo. "Off your meds" has sadly become a put down, but it does sound like she has untreated mental illness.

^ There are a lot of people at the end who dispute her claim, but that picture speaks for itself. Who does that?

I agree. She should have been on there. That lady has been through hell and back again.

This would have surprised me a little, but once I heard about all the rules in place to protect predators in congress, I knew there would be a lot of them. It's really sick what a person has to go through even to file a complaint. Some of these guys are really off the rails like the guy asking for "surrogates". We have to hope war doesn't break out again. Gaza isn't so much an open air prison as a play pen. So many children and no where to hide when the bombing starts.

When families stuck together except for all those black families that were separated upon sale. I guess they don't count. Moore needs to see the inside of a jail cell, but he won't. Can you imagine how many victims haven't come forward because they are living in this backwards world he inhabits?

Or maybe I am. There are so many allegations against so many people at this point it's hard to keep track. I agree the sentence has to fit the crime, but of course none of these people will see a jail cell and Moore certainly should have (along with disbarment). Everyone should lose their job for groping, especially lawmakers. Yet they seem to have more protections than anyone else, along with a tax payer funded slush fund to deal with settlements. The whole thing is incredibly corrupt.

^ More than woman accused him of forcibly kissing them right? That's pretty gross and more than just tapping someone's bottom. Plus I think he grabbed some of their asses. I'll agree with those who say that as long as Trump is President there isn't much point in others falling on their swords. Still, if it were up to me every one of these grabby men would be out. If you want to be a leader keep your [!@#$%^&*] hands to yourself.

^ The Clinton hate is a mental illness with some of these people. It's truly insane that they are still focused on them when they are no longer in power.

Yes it is. Even if Al Franken is gone he's going to be replaced by another democrat right? If so, I don't understand why this a loss?

^It represents the women who haven't come forward yet.

Yes, Ben Sasse mentioned that the government has "over promised on entitlements". Not over promised to rich donors, of course. Its obvious they are trying to get people used to the idea of being screwed hard.

Well, if you pray, pray for the middle east. I feel for anyone who has to work in the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.

Why not? She's consistently awful. I can't wait until she fades into obscurity.

Thanks Marceline. So, I looked it up and the governor is a Democrat, so the seat will go to another democrat I take it. I certainly wish that there was a more formal process for all of this to happen, so that all of these guys facing multiple, credible allegations would be expelled. I agree it doesn't make sense to force Franken to resign when Moore may very well be elected. Then of course there is always Trump corrupting our entire government. What a nest of vipers. It's disgusting.

If Franken does go, what happens to his seat? Special election?

There's the truth. Of course all three major religions have radicals and Israel/Jerusalem is a flash point. Leave it to 45 to do the worst possible thing. He's determined to have a world war, if it starts in North Korea or Israel seems not to matter to him. Ha! I bet he's going to scare us like this every six months. I guess I'm grateful, but he is just the worst.

I am just blown away by the insanity. If God exists do these people really believe they can force his hand? Clearly they do, which is the height of arrogance. I almost wish he existed so he could smite these fools.

As crazy as it sounds I swear I believe the far right Christians are trying to bring on Armageddon. There was a Vice episode on just this thing. They are seriously trying to start the final war and bring Jesus back. This thread explains it.

I missed this, but yeah, we are sinking fast. It's particularly sad that we are banning people from Yemen and Syria. Not that we should be banning any nation as a whole. @DramatistDreamerI see some karmic justice in the idea that Republicans may lose some elections due to the way 45 screwed over PR.

^ That's potentially good too, right? Unfortunately, people tend to gravitate towards NY and Cali, it seems. That's less good.

Maybe this is some good news. I guess close to 200,000 Puerto Ricans have come to Florida so far.
