Trump shattered the moral authority of his Presidency during Charlottesville. It can never be restored. We live in the surreal world where the words of the POTUS have no meaning. His presence brings no comfort. He is an avatar of disunion, division; selfishness and immorality

(53,410 posts)She was a complete unknown entity. He and McCain found out at the same time we did. When she invited the tea baggers out of the closet none of us took them seriously for years. Only now, almost a dozen years later do we realize how powerful theyve become, and then only after years of hate propaganda and Russian meddling.

Trelane, 2267 ("The Squire of Gothos"
Trelane was a puckish, childlike alien introduced to several USS Enterprise crewmembers in 2267. That year, the Enterprise was en route to the Beta VI colony to deliver supplies, when it encountered a previously unknown planet. This planet, Gothos, was the home (playplace, really) of the powerful alien Trelane.
Memorable quotes:
General Trelane, retired. At your service, sir."
"Oh, how marvelous! Devastating! Why this could kill millions!"
"Oh come now. We're all military men under the skin. And how we do love our uniforms."
"Und... Offizier Jaeger! Ein Deutsch Soldat, nein? Ein, zwei, drei, vier! Gehen wir mit dem Schießgewehr!" (Translation: "And...Officer Jaeger! A German Soldier, no? One, two, three, four! Let's go on the shot gun!" Jaeger, a geophysicist specializing in meteorology, was underwhelmed.
"You will hang by the neck, Captain, until you are dead, dead, dead!"
"I'll fix you for that! You cheated! You haven't played the game right, I'll show you!"
"It's my game and my rules! But, if you need to be persuaded..."
"But I don't wanna come in and I won't. I'm a general! And I won't listen to ya!"

Glamrock
(11,802 posts)for bringing this abortion of democracy upon us. Whether or not you knew you were contributing to this abomination, fact is, you were a stone in the wall. Go fuck yourself. When I turn on MSNBC and see "Steve Schmidt, DEMOCRATIC consultant", I and countless others will hold you personally responsible for what you've wrought upon this once great nation.....

I welcome to Steve Schmidt to the positive side for a more positive role in the future.
I think many of them are learning not to associate liberal with evil.

(5,210 posts)I see some of the uncharitable things being said about people like Schmidt, and I have to shake my head. Democrats OUGHT to be about forgiveness and redemption. Schmidt is an articulate, well-placed very decent guy who shares great insights and also wisdom. I love seeing him on MSNBC, and welcome him as an ally.
But then I'm not someone who wants one-party rule. Like it or not, we NEED at least 2 parties. Schmidt personifies everything I'd like to see in the other party - whether that's the Republican party or something else.
