and never laugh. Trumple4skin's smile is really a grimace. These are really depressed people. Misery loves company. Rather than climb out of their holes, they want to drag the rest of us down with them.

Republican's regressive positioning pretty much guarantees their doom.

that fled here from all stations of life, to fill the ranks of the Union Army, to build the railroads, to keep the Indians in check. None were citizens, some just got off the boats and into uniforms. Some fought w/o ever achieving citizenship, it took five years to even be considered. 1861 was the last big year until the war ended. In 1864 he got Congress to swing the doors wide open to immigrants with the only pro-immigration act congress ever passed.

I think they do realize that... and that's what bothers them. They prefer the CSA version of America were people are just chattel for exploitation by the wealthy, rather than the whole "government by the people, for the people" thing (however, imperfectly it is realized at times).

If republicans weren't trying to kick them out of the country, maybe they'd get votes from them when they become citizens. There is nothing that says that every single immigrant is a liberal thinker.

"Make immigration laws enforced again" is their xenophobic translation of Trump's hat slogan.

You add a few more everytime you get your hair colored and it makes the gray less obvious as it comes in. Solid, dark hair can make you look older. And Donald does like blondes.

very clearly says "Trump 2020", which gives me the impression that his trips to Mar-a-Lago are actually campaign events that his campaign committee should be paying for, not the taxpayer. This needs to be clarified by someone so we don't end up footing the bill for his campaign.

Allow me to think aloud with you...

Ordinarily, we would think of the FEC, but now that is for all intents and purposes non-functioning.

Next I would think of the National Party...as you say, the DNC
However, I just read today that the head of the DNC as asked for all staff to submit resignation letters and wants to do a from the ground up house cleaning.

So...that would leave local. Which means Fla. Dems. I would not expect Fla. STATE Oversight to be helpful, but maybe I am wrong.


Lastly, and more obvious to my brain, is a good investigative reporter, most of whom are really focusing on Russia gate.

Maybe poke around and see if anyone comes to mind...I'll be thinking also.

by a women one white, one asian and an hispanic male. True ameriKKKans. True hypocrites first rank. ANY minority that voted for the terrible triumvirate has sown the seeds of their own destruction when clown boy-potus drops the first nuke in some false flag operation of presidente bannon.

Well, back in charge they are and they revel in that fact. White ascendancy again after all those 'bad' years of AA and other liberal minority growth and their fear of that phenomenal growth threatening to eclipse their numbers on this planet, not just in this country. That's what's going on behind all this RW BS.
