78. We can accept their help in defeating Trump, but we should never trust them.

Sat May 9, 2020, 02:20 PM

May 2020

When the election is settled, and Democrats have won the Presidency, the House, and the Senate, then we need to ignore their ideas, shut down their plans, and allow them to sink into oblivion.

People who have been so brutally wrong, for so very long, do not deserve any more chances.

I would like to add to the list of ignorables, the crew of Morning Joe. They gave Trump incredible amounts of air time to slander President Obama and sell himself. He was as vicious, narcissistic, and ignorant then as he is now. They must have known, but ratings via controversy was always more important to them than truth.
