Mon Jul 1, 2019, 12:51 AM
Jul 2019

The republicons and the phoney christians made sure public education would become a place not worthy of a good learning environment. When you stop teaching how to use critical thinking skills you have lost the battle.

That's why the church can manipulate people into giving them their hard earned money, all the while preaching hate instead of love. Love doesn't exist in their universe. Jesus would be so this is not what I was teaching, fools!

And getting into photo ops with world leaders looking so entitled to be there.

His name sounds like he belongs on Trump’s Scottish golf course.

And no, Ivanka would never have worked as a bar-tender, she doesn’t have the brains or dexterity to mix a drink, and she would always be afraid of ruining her nails.

Mon Jul 1, 2019, 12:36 PM

Rupert Murdoch made him editor of News of the World--the paper that folded over the phone hacking scandal--in 1994.


While working at Daily Mirror, he was in charge during the period that the paper was implicated in the phone hacking scandal.....[C]omments made in Morgan's testimony about phone hacking were "utterly unpersuasive" and "that he was aware that it was taking place in the press as a whole and that he was sufficiently unembarrassed by what was criminal behaviour that he was prepared to joke about it".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_Morgan


So yeah. He'd be a failure as a bartender. That would require honest work.

Oh right, you thought it was shameful that Democrats in congress were pointlessly spending their valuable time just "investigating," instead of "acting!"

"It’s time to take some action," you said about those Democrats who are just "investigating, "This is life or death for people."

I’m upset that people, including children, are living in horrendous conditions, are forced to drink water out of toilets and are sick and dying. If you’re okay with that, that’s your choice. I don’t know what else to do but verbalize my frustrations.

I’m not on Twitter, don’t follow Piers Morgan and don’t care about him. I haven’t attacked you, and I’m requesting you not attack me. Put me on your ignore list if my posts make you angry.

But were indeed exasperated at 'other' Democratic leaders who were merely "investigating" instead of paying attention to 'life and death' issues.

That has to be embarassing, I understand. Using the "ignore" feature might be a good idea for you to deploy if people remembering what you post is bothersome.

Tue Jul 2, 2019, 08:50 PM
Jul 2019

If so, I’m not embarrassed by my previous support for him, I think he stood a good chance of beating Trump in that election. He’s not my first choice this time, unless he wins the primary. Whoever wins is who I’ll vote for. As of now, my top choices are Warren, Harris, Buttigieg (and Biden, if he has the best chance).

We need to start impeachment hearings on Trump before the election, preferably ASAP. Even if an impeachment vote isn’t taken, the hearings will show that the Democrats are taking action and will air additional crimes committed by Trump et al. He won’t be able to keep saying he hasn’t done anything wrong. Also, I think waiting for the next election is a mistake. The GOP is planning to try to steal the next election, we can’t assume a Democrat will win.

Mon Jul 1, 2019, 01:54 PM
Jul 2019

She doesn’t say “I think” this or that. She just tells the simple truth which overwhelms her enemies. They can’t handle it because their intent is to put her on the defensive which they can’t because her response is not about any biased opinion she may harbor. She also doesn’t attack them personally the way they attack her. She wins every time just on the merits of the truth she states. She cuts Gordian knots, cuts to the quick, exposes the basic essence of any argument, refuses to be backed into any corner because she owns all the corners, and invariably exposes the truth.

You just can’t argue with her when your approach is to belittle her because she truly has no time for that crap. She slaps it away with a single swing and returns it with a bullseye rejoinder, not even bothering to make it subtle.

Working people that GOP dismiss as “just a waitress/cook/etc” contain multitudes, & are just as capable & intelligent as anyone.

Classism - judging someone’s character by their income - is disappointing to see from them.
