One mangled sentence.
One bad debate performance.
GONE!
They got rid of Joe in three weeks.
Three weeks!
Was Joe an accused's pedo? NO
Convicted felon? NO
Rapist? NO
Traitor? NO

We should be protesting outside of 30 rock with rotten tomato. Failing that rocks and bottles.

I trust -

Maddow
Symone Sanders
Alicia Menendez

Elise Jordan was trying to both sides some shit this past weekend. She's one who I wish would go away. She's not helping. She's not telling the truth. She's pretending that we don't have a rapist dictator in the WH.

Mehdi Hasan platformed white supremacists - good intent but . . .

The media needs to be platforming everyone from far Leftists to Centrist Dems. We've been ignored for TEN years. Like, NJ is a Blue State.

We are the land of diners.

Democrats eat at diners too.

They could do interviews with us non-stop. They refuse to. They keep focused on the selfish spoiled brat racists magapub extremist voters and their pols. It's enough.

It’s the media’s fatal flaw – their blind obsession with not being perceived as ‘liberal,’ so they make the mistake of treating Trump with deference as if he’s a legitimate president, he’s not.

can call it dementia. My experience with that shows a lessening of attention to anything at all, not all this blustering and non stop chaos. He does act like a deranged idiot with severe mental illness. But dementia seems to me to be more complacent and non threatening in most cases.
