Republicans laugh at our lack of power. And they see us as vermin, as scum, as Satanic evil.

[ArtTownsend]

Think Mitch McConnell doesn’t enjoy being a soulless and shameless partisan hack? Think Trump doesn’t feel more empowered and free to be a fascist dictator, or close to dictator? Think the billionaires like the Koch network and the oligarchs from Russia, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere aren’t feeling better than ever about looting the country?

And don’t get me started on the cultists and goose-steppers who make up the Republican voter base...

The ONLY thing we can do now is fight like hell because our world depends on it. You don’t negotiate with people who will stop at nothing to destroy you. We have to bury them before they bury us.

1. I see them as traitors and cowards that put party and power over country

They can bray like demented mules all they want. We, The Democratic Party, are the only and true patriots left in this rotting Republic.

[ArtTownsend]

2. Agreed!

3. Several years ago the news carried several stories about McConnell's wife's father who is in the

shipping business being investigated for drug smuggling with his fleet. What ever happened to that story? Why isn't it more in the limelight when trying to oust McConnell??

4. I laugh every time one of them thinks they are the only ones that have guns.

Boy, are they in for a shock if they start any insurrection.

5. As much as I love Michelle Obama, I really believe that not responding in kind

when they went low is what got us here. They clearly take advantage of the goodness and decency on our side to steamroll us at every turn.

6. Funny. I see them exactly the same way.

And one day the tables will be turned and they won't be so smug anymore.

[Bayard]

7. If we were Satanic evil,

We wouldn't be powerless now, would we?

[Generic Other]

8. Look back in American history at who was considered "scum" at the time

The British scoffed at the "Yankee" rebels at Concord and Lexington.

A Southern Congressman caned Northern Senator Charles Sumner in the Senate Chamber over his anti-slavery speech.

The government executed abolitionist John Brown on charges of treason, murder and insurrection for blowing up Harper's Ferry.

The US Army hunted down, massacred, imprisoned and forced Native Americans to live on reservations.

Authorities arrested and force-fed suffragists who protested and went on hunger strikes in jail.

The US government incarcerated Japanese-Americans in camps after questioning their loyalty during WW2.

Alabama authorities arrested Dr. ML King for protesting the treatment of blacks in Birmingham.

Montgomery police arrested Rosa Parks for Civil Disobedience sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

The US government condemned young men for burning their draft cards during the Vietnam War.



Truth and Justice will out in the end. We are on the right side of history. Do NOT lose heart. These are the times that try men's souls...
