The Arsonists Will Win if We . . .

[peggysue2]

let them by buying into these stupid memes on the right and the left. Today it's how Hillary Clinton rigged the 2016 primary by fundraising and spreading the money around to the DNC as well as state & local races, micromanaging the party apparatus with a witch's spell thereby ensuring her 3 million vote win and nomination.

Lame. Overdone. Stick a fork in it.

Previous right-wing pundits are all aghast about the Uranium One deal and the Steele dossier and . . . whatever flies into their imaginations and fever dreams.

Hooey. All of it. A diversion for nth time.

Those of us who are Democrats need to focus on one thing: elections coming up and the 2018 midterms, taking the 8-10 generic margin favoring Democrats and running the ball over the line with big fat wins.

Not for the mere thrill of winning. But to save the House from burning down.

Let's be clear. This is not simply the Democratic house. This is the Nation's House engulfed in flames, a fire deliberately set by arsonists who gleefully fan the flames with propaganda and diversionary tactics. If the House burns down all these sideshow arguments and debates about purity et al are irrelevant. Because the House will be in ashes. And so will everything we value as citizens of a Democratic Republic. Right now we have a fucking psychopath sitting in the WH, enabled by sycophants extraordinarie in their deceit and corruption.

When your house is on fire, you call the fire company. Not an interior decorator to measure for drapes.

I'll suggest what I suggested this morning over at TPM. We should remember the words of Rick Wilson and Josh Marshall:

Everything Trump Touches Dies

The Man Is Poison

Repeat these words 5x daily. Maybe then, the smoke will finally clear in some people's brains.

1. Trump is the opposite of King Midas.

Everything he touches turns to shit!

2. Given that Russia was behind many of these memes,

one might assume that the same Russian trolls have found other locations to continue their work.

3. Your post is perfect and explains the dire straits our country is in. Thanks!

We need to pull together as citizens and look out for each other. We can defeat the divide and conquer attacks.

Everything Trump Touches Dies.

The Man is Poison.

This should be the title of post everyday on this site.

Thanks!

4. You're Welcome

And thanks to everyone else for reading. I've just hit a limit on the nonsense being spewed when the country is so endangered.

There comes a time when people of good faith must put aside all the squabbling, the partisan horseshit, the petty grievances and work together as American citizens. That time is now.

If Nicolle Wallace can do it (and boy, did she do it this afternoon), the rest of us can, too.
