"We have a president without shame who is backed by a party without spine that is supported by a network called Fox News without integrity."


"This is a party that has simply laid down for a demented man."

"The biggest crisis we have right now is in the oval office."

Mighty good soundbites.

He wrote every six months for about five years.

Hard to believe this guy, and Frum, and Painter, and Kristol, and all of the other Bush neocons who are paid to blab on MSNBC get their boots licked here so often while progressives like Sanders and Gabbard get trashed.

I'll never understand why the center-left hates the left more than they do the center-right.

In his book of "Globalization" he spoke wonders of outsourcing, I am glad to see his turn around, although it doesn't surprise me, after all he is an intelligent man, and intelligent people need no explanation to realize that the buffoon is just that, a buffoon who is placing the USA in danger.

I wonder what the orange buffoon, and his family, have given to the Russians, what kind of peril they are placing the USA. The video by those Russian soldiers ripping the flag and saying "we will take the USA", that troubles me because although Russia and the USA have always been, sort of enemies, I have never seen behaviour like that before. Maybe it has happened before, but I have never seen it in the past, in some way the rivalry has carried a level of respect in the past.
