Here's to the Unholy Trinity of Evil that is most important for Trump.

Mitch McConnell, William Barr, and Vladimir Putin.

Special place in Hell, etc.

Republicans laugh at our lack of power. And they see us as vermin, as scum, as Satanic evil.

Think Mitch McConnell doesn’t enjoy being a soulless and shameless partisan hack? Think Trump doesn’t feel more empowered and free to be a fascist dictator, or close to dictator? Think the billionaires like the Koch network and the oligarchs from Russia, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere aren’t feeling better than ever about looting the country?

And don’t get me started on the cultists and goose-steppers who make up the Republican voter base...

The ONLY thing we can do now is fight like hell because our world depends on it. You don’t negotiate with people who will stop at nothing to destroy you. We have to bury them before they bury us.

I concur, Ms. Speaker.

I concur.

The mistake Nixon made was he kept his criminality and bigotry secret. Trump brags about it openly.

And on an hourly, Tweet-vomiting basis. And with the help of FOX and Fiends, Republican Congresspeople and Senators - who are to a person, less popular among Republican voters than Trump is - are cowed into falling in line (that is, if they are not part of Trump’s conspiracies themselves).

Trump, unlike Nixon, figured out that if you commit crimes and voice the vilest of bigotries overtly and shamelessly, and constantly hold rabid Nuremberg-style rallies like a fascist cult leader, you can get away with anything.

“When you’re a star they let you do it..”
“I can shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and wouldn’t lose a vote!”

Trump is getting away with it. Our only hope of salvation is in November.

"BS"

Why do you and others do this? And why is everyone attacking Sanders so ferociously??

I have nothing against the other candidates (with one Islamophobic dictator-loving exception, but thankfully she’s not been a threat). I just support Sanders. What’s wrong with that?

They weren't pulling for Bernie, they were fighting against Hillary and for Trump.

Bernie, Jill Stein, etc. were just foils for the Russians against Hillary.

Also, no one ever seems to criticize Gary Johnson or Evan McMullen for taking anti-Trump votes from (mainly Republican anti-Trump votes in the suburbs that Clinton targeted, especially in McMullen’s case - the margin between Trump and Clinton in Utah was less than McMullen’s percentage there). And Johnson was easily the most successful of the third-party candidates overall.
