20. "I always get in trouble for it...." WHY????? and from whom?

So sick of the muzzling of good Democratic speakers with orders from the top down. Where we don't even bump the apple cart. Let alone dumping it over which is what we should be doing. Or we may upset someone. Some imaginary John and Jane Doe out there who are still stuck in some gentlemanly past somewhere who believe you just keep turning the cheek over and over and take it, and gob dang it, one day folks will see all the abuse you are taking and feel sorry for you and vote you in.

The world has changed. This is a war for survival now.
I remember how long it took to even use the word "lie" or "liar" in news rooms. But it shouldn't be any private news corps who raise the F word first, it should be the opposition party. That is what they SHOULD be doing over and over
