"SNIP......

The same Louisiana Republican Party that 30 years ago refused to censure former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke decided last Saturday to censure Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) for his vote to convict President Trump on abuse of power impeachment charges, the Washington Examiner reports.

we've got some sick F**KS that are being elected to serve in positions that make decisions as to how our country is run and how the citizens will be protected and served.

God help us all.

Trump's mob (Republicans) need to make an example of Romney to discourage dissention.

My guess is,Willard is held in higher esteem at this point than the Orange anus. Something says,there is a major revolt about to take place in the Rethug ranks after this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Jazz

The Utah Jazz are an American professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City. The Jazz compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league's Western Conference, Northwest Division. Since 1991, the team has played its home games at Vivint Smart Home Arena. The franchise began play as an expansion team in 1974 as the New Orleans Jazz (as a tribute to New Orleans' history of originating Jazz music). The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City in 1979.

I am often entirely too flippant on some threads.

Like the song says: If we couldn't laugh, we'd all go insane.

I don't mean to be disrespectful of my fellow posters, just trying to help the anxiety level a bit.

up for Trump. People have hit a wall and say 'nope - he will not win again and we will do what we have to, to make it so'. It was there before but now it is everyone. Minds are closed. Trump has to go. That is the candidate who will win the nomination. Whoever personifies NOPE.

As to you, the DU has waves of characters, delivering waves of information in so many ways nobody democratic feels left out. You are definitely one of the important characters.

I just re-read an interesting statistic. 29% of Louisiana Republicans believe that Obama screwed up the aid to the area after Katrina. In 2005. Obama didn't take office until 2009.
Louisiana ranks last overall.....#48 in education...#49 in economy...#50 in opportunity...#50 in crime and corrections...#50 in environment.
And.... #1 in homicide rate.

No love lost here for Romney, but the Louisiana Repubs should just STFU.
