even from Democrats. That’s what makes her stronger than Trump. He withers like limp dick over any criticism from Limbaugh and Coulter. He pathologically rushes to keep Putin happy.

She has no such problems.

A compassionate response to 800,000 furloughed federal workers who are citizens of this country to open the government would be a compassionate move.

during his appearances? Literally. Whenever the trumputine speaks or shows up in front of the cameras, just redact him. Maybe replace with a nice bubbling brook.

Nothing is being said other than coded messages to his actors. Are the MSM complicit in helping the others take over the democracy? (Rhetorical - I know the answer.)

info came from a local Fellow who was a Producer/Director at a Local NBC affiliate,was,it is all about cultivating sources and stroking potential advertisers. Again it is all about Access and Stroking the Ego of the Local Political Wannabe's.

Lawrence O'Donnell did a piece showing the messages that were sent to supporters before and after the Oval Office "speech." They offered to give the President (sic) the name of each person who donated to the "Secure Borders Fund," when in actuality the money went directly to the campaign.

Not as bad as during the 2018 SOTU, where donors were promised to have their names displayed on screen while Trump read his address from the teleprompter. I mention this because of all the times he mocked Hillary and Obama for using teleprompters. The difference is, they are good at it.

no other network broke into its regular programming meaning only a few million, tops, people even saw it.
