84. YES, but all blamed on US. OUR fault, not theirs.

The right has mostly been turned into one big unified attack dog. They don't need to be told anything but that we support something to rally against it. If we support it, it's bad. If it's bad we did it.

The same holds true, actually, for a good number on the farther left who've been turned by right-wing and left-wing propaganda (often hard to distinguish from each other), whether generated in our nation or from outside enemies, against the only healthy, principled, functional political party America currently has.

This is the reality of our era, when we all exist in a blizzard of corrupted, fake information launched as weapons against us.

He was the first one to confirm Chump was under investigation DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2017 #4

It doesn't seem likely Comey is going to say Trump fired me because I'm a "nut case." DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2017 #60

He had a reason for refusing to testify behind closed doors. He wants to ensure that GOP shills tblue37 Jun 2017 #57
