In reply to the discussion: 'Democrats, wake the f--- up!' Fight Trump with outrage and disgust, ex-Congressman screams [View all]crimycarny
(2,096 posts)58. Agree, I'm still enraged at the Arlington Ceremony event
And, in many ways, I'm angrier at the military's non-response. JFC, if they can't even stand up to Trump when he is desecrating the most sacred area for their fallen, who paid the ultimate sacrifice, shame on them. How that was swept under the rug like it was I'll never understand. I particularly felt for the mother of the soldier whose tomb was visible in the picture of those morons holding a thumbs up.
I do not understand how Trump gets away with what he does. I'll never understand. I thought for sure that the Arlington Cemetary event would be his doom, surely the military would speak up and defend their own against such an egregious act of the ultimate dishonoring of a fallen soldier. But, no.

OP
It's not a good look when our Dem leaders have Appeasement oozing from every pore.

Joe Walsh used to be one of the leaders of the Tea Party, which (to me) makes his words

Very good point. Same as first term. The "candidates" just want to destroy the agency they were picked for by Orange

That attitude is a big part of the problem. You can't fight a Nazi death cult with good manners and "stern words." n/t

Walsh is one of the few who broke their fever and saw the fraud for what it was. A fraud. Cohen and Scaramucci too

we're just shooting ourselves in the foot when we're bringing republicans here to lecture us about our party.

People just like to scream at Democrats to "wake the fuck up" and so on. Psychological thing I think.

Maybe if our Dems DID start waking up and start screaming then WE wouldn't have to!
