The Pelosi video

It's become SOP to ask the question, what if Obama had done this? Of course, the response is that the RW would investigate, regardless of the cost, in money and to the nation.

Back to the Pelosi video, which FB and others refuse to delete from this sytems.

A challenge to a smart DUer. Do the same to a Trump or Pence video. Make them appear drunk and stupid (okay, the stupid part is easy). Then upload it everywhere. FB, YouTube, Vimeo, 4chan, whatever. Let's see what happens. Wanna bet that 1) the outcry will be fast and loud and 2) the video will be taken down.

As others have more eloquently noted, we are well past living in interesting times. We have crossed the Rubicon and are in dangerous times territory.

Cooper proposed a scenario with Trump being the target and she said that would be "different."

Social media is destroying our society and culture.

Twitter would be a better place to upload it. Or Vimeo and then have millions of Twitter users link to it.
