Looks like someone likes babies! 😊 The baby seems to like him as well!

Apologies if posted previously.....

[Ilsa]

1. That was an excellent, respectful response.

Swalwell is impressive.

[Chin music]

7. +1

[DownriverDem]

11. Yes he is

I'm glad Swalwell isn't running for the nomination. We need him right where he is.

[leftynyc]

2. In my 58 years, I have never

seen a party lay down and show their bellies to such a disgusting, perverted, filthy president. They're so afraid of his rabid dog base they are selling out the country they claim to love. It's sickening.

[yardwork]

3. Well said. I'm about the same age as you. Never thought I'd see the Republicans do this.

All our lives the self-righteous sanctimonious Republican Party went on and on and on about God and country.

Now the entire GOP is protecting a fool who embraces our worst enemies while attacking military families, military heroes, and our allies.

I knew the Republicans were hypocrites but this....

[leftynyc]

5. We can only hope, at this point,

that he takes down the entire putrid party - a party that deserves to die (I'm not talking about people, just the putrid party).

[thegoose]

17. Me too

This so insane you just can't help but think that something more sinister is happening. I still think Pootie has purchased the entire party with the NRA as his conduit.

[yardwork]

25. I agree. They sold themselves cheap.

[DownriverDem]

12. They are afraid of trump

They fear that if they criticize trump or don't go along with him, they will be primaried by a trumpster. trump is blackmailing them. Some have taken russian money. Graham has taken russian money. How many more have?

[leftynyc]

21. Could be more than that

I wouldn't put it past the cretin to have read all their fbi files and is blackmailing each and every one of them. He's that much of a sewer dweller.

[tblue37]

52. The Steele dossier says Putin gives Trump information to hold over his opponents. nt

[leftynyc]

57. Which wouldn't surprise

absolutely nobody. Helsinki proved to everyone with a brain Putin has stuff on Donnie and his spawn.

[mgardener]

22. Republicans did the same thing

With Nixon.
Until they could not ignore the facts anymore.
Current Republicans are moral cowards. We cannot count on them.

[Detroit Og]

24. Thought

If Repubs can ignore
the disrespectful
Words about McCain from rtump, then
Everyone should be able to take a knee.
Proving its all been BullShit from get go⚡

[leftynyc]

33. We already knew it was BS

Donnie is quite simply putrid trash.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

49. EXCELLENT POINT you make there, Detroit Og

And welcome to DU !!

[CrispyQ]

40. Fear of the base is part of it, but they are getting much of their agenda accomplished, too.

Recently McConnell bragged that he is making "generational changes to the judiciary." Trump has taken a hatchet to our institutions, gutting them, filling key positions with unqualified people. He's done decades of damage & he is just past half way through his term.

One of Wuerker's from around Jan 2017.



The GOP has only ever been for representative government as long as the uppity women, people of color, & gays know & keep to their place. More & more they have to lie, cheat, & steal to keep their privileged place in the hierarchy & they aren't going to let it go without a dirty fight.

4. Showing Romney a dog that is not on top of the car.

[FM123]

9. Oh my gosh I almost forgot about that, now I can't get that optic out of my head.....

[llmart]

13. As a dog lover, I will never forget that.

Poor Seamus (I think that was the dog's name.).

Let's not forget how Romney sucked up to Trump thinking he'd get a cabinet position. He's no better than the rest of them.

[magicarpet]

32. Meet SEAMUS, Romney's tied to the car roof for a twelve hour road trip to Canada.

.... poor Irish Setter,...

[llmart]

39. That's just disgusting!

I'd never seen that before. What sort of a prick giggles about doing this? (That's a rhetorical question.) Also, let's not forget the bully he was at the school of 1%'ers, Cranbrook in Michigan, torturing a gay fellow student.

[magicarpet]

42. Mitt Romney preys on the weakest ones to advance his popularity...

..... an in depth expose about Romney's actions in crushing the weakest members of society to enhance personality and popularity.

Sick minds do sick things to other human beings to entertain themselves and their closest friends.

Here is a video about what Romney did during high school years to get his sadistic fun times jollies.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

51. Whatchu think McCain did? Anyone remember the derogatory comments here bout him? Rightfully deserved

How quickly some forget.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[milestogo]

47. I bought a bumper sticker that year...

[quickesst]

6. If he decides to run for president....

.... he will be my second choice behind Joe Biden. He is smart, articulate, and has the sharpest sense of humor of the entire field. That's important on the likeability aspect.

[xxqqqzme]

56. Right there with

you. Swalwell got my attention for all the qualities you listed

[quickesst]

58. If he gets in....

.... I'm going to be amped for the debates to come. I really don't know if there's anyone running who can get one over on him. The confidence he displays, for me, is reassuring.

[OnDoutside]

8. Lol.

[Javaman]

10. counting on mittens to do the right thing is a fools errand. nt

[DownriverDem]

14. Maybe

Mitt knows more about the current views of folks in his state.

[Javaman]

15. I'll leave this here...

[arthritisR_US]

31. This is exactly what came to my mind too.

[BlueFlorida]

16. Eric Swalwell is very impressive

He looks like a child prodigy with his boyish good looks but extremely cerebral speech. I like to watch him on MSNBC and no matter how much the hosts bait him to say extreme things, he sticks to measured responses.

[PatSeg]

18. "My friend John McCain"?

As I recall, McCain couldn't stand Mitt Romney and like so many republicans, he made peace with Romney during the 2012 election for the sake of the party. They were hardly "friends". Mitt Romney never really had any friends in DC, people tolerated him out of necessity.

"No more half-in, half-concerned"? That's who Mitt Romney has always been and its not likely he's changed now. He will do whatever serves Mitt Romney.

[MagickMuffin]

19. Who likes dogs?

If it's the pic of Swalwell he is holding a baby. I thought it was a dog as well on first glance and then realized it was a baby. I think this was at Speaker of the House vote.

[Heartstrings]

20. Oh.....my bad!

Sure looked like a dog to me as well.....will edit, thanks for letting me know. Maybe I ne d new glasses.....

[3catwoman3]

23. IIRC, the baby is his daughter, who was...

...4 months old at the time of that photo.

[Heartstrings]

28. Ahhhhh.....that's endearing!

Thank you!

[CaptYossarian]

26. It's good to see some decency in Mitt after he wanted to get rid of Sesame Street.

And his abysmal vice presidential pick.

[magicarpet]

44. CaptYossarian....

Inch-bess-ess,... are you Armenian ?

What are you doing,.. wandering around from the pages and the bindings of Catch 22 ?

[CaptYossarian]

59. Mostly Norwegian

I loved the character in the book and the movie.

[magicarpet]

60. I am going to mail you a piece of baklava just cause of your web name...

Nice book,.. Catch 22.

[rainin]

27. I have always suspected it's because of emails - the Russians hacked the republicans, too.

Trump has dirt on all those who have lost their spines. Trump has some serious career killing shit on them -- or as I suspect with Justice Kennedy, he has knowledge of criminal activity of a direct family member.

[33taw]

29. Do you mean Kennedy?

[rainin]

30. Yes, I'll fix it. Thank you.

[JI7]

48. maybe with graham. but mostly it's becsuse Trump is popular among the Republicans

and they are scared of being primaried.

[Metro135]

34. Mitt Romney "can't understand it. . ."

Should we spell it out for you, Mittens? The head of your party is mentally ill. That's spelled M-E-N-T-A-L-L-Y I-L-L.

And the people in your party who continue to prop him up are sicker than he is.

[GusBob]

35. The same message should be sent to every Dem candidate

They keyest, mostest, importantest word in that message is democracy

Its time for a comeback

[Joediss]

36. Trickle down

The whole idea behind the repug party is stupid anyway, I can't believe American get behind this bs.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

50. "Trickle down" ??

Please tell me you aren't referring to the actions of poor Seamus. What a visual THAT creates !

[BlueJac]

37. Well said Rep. Swalwell!

[TNNurse]

38. Face it the GOP has turned over their souls, their dignity, their humanity,

their decency, their self respect to Trump. They did it to keep their jobs and the lifelong benefits. They did it for the money he can apparently bring in to them. He is a lying criminal and they bow down to him.

They worship the GOP, not GOD, they do not love this country, they love themselves as much as Trump loves Trump.

[LiberalLovinLug]

41. Meanwhile....

[liberalnarb]

43. You're gonna be counting a long time waiting on Mittens. Eom

[Power 2 the People]

45. Wow!! Great tweet from Rep. Swalwell.

[krkaufman]

46. Link?

Is there a link for this tweet?

[czarjak]

53. As if, Eric.

[DesertRat]

54. k&r

[Blue Owl]

55. Tactful, and tactical...
