"You may think it is OK"

I think that line should be a theme.

No,we do not think all the wrong Trump has done is ok.
I think that line should be on billboards,in campaign ads,on hats,tee shirts.

Thank you Adam Schiff.

You have given us the perfect slogan.

I clicked on msnbc while I was riding my bike this morning and it must have shown a dozen clips from Trump's hate rally.

The M$M isn't going to push, "You may think it's ok," it is going to push that Schiff is the traitor, that Schiff overstepped his authority, that Mueller proved that Democrats and people in the FBI were on a witch hunt.
Trump is going to run for reelection on being the victim and it is Mueller and Democrats who should be investigated. That's the right wing narrative that will be pushed by cable news. If msnbc is already doing it, I'm sure that the other 2 networks are doing it also.

We need to bring a gun to a gun fight. We need a Daniel Ellsberg. We need more Democrats like Adam Schiff and AOC to speak out forcefully so that the M$M is forced to cover them. We had 2 Democrats sign on to an impeachment bill. Make all of the excuses you want but IMO Trump has long ago done enough to deserve impeachment. Oh but the Senate. Screw the Senate, there will never be enough votes in the Senate to convict Trump.

I served 2 terms on borough council as a Democrat back in the 70's and early 80's in a town that voted for Trump 80-20. My rep was Jack Murtha. Say what you want about him but he brought back jobs to his district. Nancy Pelosi wanted him to be her majority leader. He was a Marine veteran and a strong voice opposed to the Iraq war. They killed him, cut an artery when he was having a routine gall bladder operation. We got Steny Hoyer instead, good man, but no Jack Murtha.

We need to back people like Schiff and AOC. I plan on sending donations to Democrats who aren't afraid to speak out. I also am a member of the ACLU. It is trying to help the downtrodden, like people at our Southern border.

Rant off, sorry.

Let the Murtha bashing begin.

"it's not ok with me" is more to the point. That phrase suggests there is something wrong with Trump/Republicans.

The DNC needs to jump on this before the M$M drowns it out.

You can mesh a lot of phrases with it.
It's not ok with me...Putin is not our friend.
It's not ok with me... Democrats care about America.
It's not ok with me... No nukes for Saudi Arabia

Get the picture?

Schiff was addressing Republicons.

If you make that into a slogan to address voters, it comes off as attacking the voters.

Say something like "Republicans may think it is OK, but Americans do not." Voters think of themselves as Americans, natch, and it reinforces that Republicons who support tRump are traitorous.

we have to be more than sound bites and slogans. It may work on the idiots on the Right but we are not them nor should we try to compete with them on their level. They will beat us with even lower sound bites and drag us all down with them.

Good for Rep. Schiff but be careful not to use his words to fall smack into the jaws of the rube's territory.

That’s a version of what’s been going through my mind since this whole disgraceful sordid misadventure began: “...and you’re okay with this? This is okay with you?”

Remember, they’re trying to quash firther investigation so we won’t come up with more ‘you may think it’s OK’s.’ For example:

You may think it’s OK for the POTUS to act as a broker for an adversary’s President’s sale of $10B of stock.


You may think it’s OK for Presidents to have a history of raping 13 year old girls and repaying your pimp/best friend by promoting the US Attorney who gets him off to Secretary of Labor.
