What important numbers do you want to know? I mean not baseball numbers, etc. For example...

We have spent more than 5.6 trillion dollars on war since 9-11, according to a Common Dreams article from 11-9-17: https://www.commondreams.org/news/2017/11/08/nation-says-it-cant-afford-medicare-all-has-spent-56-trillion-war-911

What other numbers do you want to know?

The NRA stops all municipalities from compiling data on harm from guns. But those numbers I'd like to know.

We don't have an ongoing measure of the acidification of the oceans, or on how large the dead spots are. I sure as hell want to know what the tipping points are and I don't give a damn about the Kardashians.

I'd like to know the environmental degradations state by state, county by county. And who the hell is responsible.

Seems to me that hidden from us (at least I have had a hard time finding this) is the list of issues that more than 60% of voters want.

We don't have a listing of how many people have been killed by the police -- move along, move along - nothing to see.

But what numbers on what issues do you want?

Very cute parody song of trump -- listen to the following take-off on "Sound of Silence."

The following is really, really cute! (And certainly SCARY!!!)

"At long last, have you no sense of decency?" Well, it seems that decency HAS returned!

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_N._Welch

"Joseph Nye Welch (October 22, 1890 – October 6, 1960) was the chief counsel for the United States Army while it was under investigation for Communist activities by Senator Joseph McCarthy's Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, an investigation known as the Army–McCarthy hearings. His confrontation with McCarthy during the hearings, in which he famously asked McCarthy "At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" is seen as a turning point in the history of McCarthyism"

This iconic question by Joseph Welch continues to reverberate and last night (on 11-7-17), the sense of decency won out in major elections across the United States!

So while our incompetent, uncaring president preens on his Asia trip, a majority of Americans have again shown their true heart in contest after contest -- Bravo!

And I certainly praise Tom Perez with his approach to running everywhere. "If you have a zip code, Democrats should be running in your area," he has stated.

Any thoughts about how the Russians divided us? Those ads really would have

set us against each other.

Dems should unite, embrace each other and fight against the Republicans.

We agree on this?
