So, who has heard anyone on media call out Repubs for the following:

1. The pResdent claimed the wall would be paid for by Mexico, why is this coming down to a Govt shutdown?
2. You lost 40 seats in the House, you lost the total vote for the House and Senate by millions, the people have spoken, why is this coming down to a Govt shutdown?
3. The Repubs had control of the House and the Senate for two years, why is this coming down to a Govt shutdown after two years?
4. The Senate passed a resolution yesterday, how is your leadership, including the pResdent, so inept as to not clearly defining your objectives and working together to get them through both the House and Senate?


What we do hear, OVER AND OVER AND OVER, is "this was a campaign promise." (As if the pResident deserves to have his side heard)

Again time to be blunt. I don't give a shit what the corrupt, under multi investigations, resident in the White House promised, he lost and he lost BIGLY!

It is truly amazing how the MSM frames every issue for Repukes. If the Dems and Obama would have pulled this type of cluster fuck in December 2010 the media would be framing things much differently.

1. Obama is in over his head.
2. Obama is not listening to the will of the people.
3. Democrats are in disarray and can't govern.
4. This shows why the voting public threw the Dems to the curb.

Rachel brought up that an official transcript is required for the Grand Jury. Fair enough, but why now, why not wait for a couple of weeks and request it from Adam Schiff? Are they going to be working on things that hard over the Holidays? It seems like they have plenty enough in the pipeline to keep them going?

Unless they are making a point of requesting it while Devon Nunes (T) is in charge.

This is how you win folks, you don't wait for the easy path, you can always double back and take that path. You hit the traitorous MOTHER FUCKERS IN THE TEETH! You ruin traitor Devon's Christmas, you make it clear that you are going to knock this Mother Fucker out. And you don't give two shits over the pressure exerted on Nunes, his family, and his party.

The as if manhood.... statement will be the fuse that lit up tRump.

Sadly I say he will lose only 1 to 3 points. Even sadder, if someone says no change, I wouldn't argue.

This really isn't that hard folks.

I still see talking heads talking about what Dems can do to reach out, contemplating a softening of the message.

There is nothing that can be done to reach out to a person that supports ripping a child from his/her mother. There is no way to soften the message. A person that supports tRump, a person that supports ripping a child from his/her mother, that person is a MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLE. A person that supports a person who aligns with Russians, that person is a MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLE.

I don't care if that person is a parent, a sibling, a boss, a long time friend. THAT PERSON IS A MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLE.

It is an extremely uncomfortable position that we find ourselves in, but we didn't put ourselves into the position, they did. It will take a great deal of personal fortitude to get ourselves out of this uncomfortable position, but again, that is due to them, not us.

They are a mother fucking asshole, solution is simple, quit being a Republican.

that students won't vote.

This issue I immediately had was where students were interviewed, at a bus stop where students who take the bus for an hour are gathered. The students most likely to be busting their asses of to make it through school. Many first generation Americans, working a job and going to school.

Now literally above where MSNBC performed the interview is a foot bridge used by students who walk from the surrounding apartments to school. Turns out the voters from those apartments went for the D candidate, by a 9 to 1 margin.

I understand why the reporters picked the spot, largest gathering spot near the campus in the early morning. Issue is they got a group of 25 to 30 students and made an assumption. A group that would be heavily skewed to 18 and 19 year olds rather than 18 to 23 year olds. Then we (collectively) bitch about the lack of youth vote. In my district it appears that the youth vote delivered a Dem Rep to a district that was + 8 Repuke.
