Hitler tried, in his downfall, to take all Germany with him. See "Nero Decree."

It may be worth remembering the Jonestown example if it looks like things are getting really bad for Trump.

For lack of a better way of asking...……..

Do you sense that some of them at least are beginning to see Bullshit Mountain for what it really is?

I was happy to see my oldest brother, after 50 years as an NRA member finally dropped out of that organization. "They're nothing but a bunch of political, money grubbing pr**ks trying to scare people into paying dues and voting for Republicans.".... Okay, so he's a little slow on the uptake but, it was nice to see the light come on. In the '80s he did figure out how Holy Roller t.v. Evangelists fit into the far right wing cult when Robertson ran for president. So, it takes a while but he's making progress.

Trump wants her to stay on as Speaker. I don't know, Pat. That alone is not a good sign.

Glad to hear your brother is capable of thinking, though he seems to need his own time to do it....

I would say the Trump wave has crested, and will be receding to some degree, though not markedly, in the normal course of things.

'The normal course of things' may not be what we get, of course. With investigations, and the possibility of fascist violence at home or abroad, the deck has plenty of jokers.

Sully for President!

Didn't get to see this before-election TV appearance until today, although I'd read his op-ed, of course. But his actual 'presentation of self' in the political context is amazing. In thinking and demeanor he is everything Trump is not. He is the perfect anti-Trump.

Something tell me the Democrats are not falling over themselves trying to recruit this man as a candidate. Too bad.

California Democratic Party leader Eric Bauman to resign after accusations of sexual misconduct

Boorish behavior isn't limited to Repubes, sadly.

After Nancy Pelosi’s performance in the Oval Office yesterday, showing the world what an incompetent buffoon the “great dealmaker” really is, does anyone now doubt that she’ll be elected Speaker? She’s an amazing pol.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Exposed as Extremely Corny in College

Some dumbass right wingnut tried to "out" her for.... having fun with friends as a Boston University student. Right wingers must have really sad, pathetic lives. So full of hate. Sheesh.

Was at BU for graduation of a close friend's daughter a couple years back. Great school, great city.
