This is not rocket science. Why are you watching #TraitorTrump's criminal cabal? Change the channel.

I know some here on DU have strong stomachs to watch but I will not. We are our last best hope.

And if we fill the streets they way we should be, let it happen even in our home states.

It's all about power and money, we are all on the back burner or should I say on the burner.

first it was a republican and i muted it. then mcconnell stepped up to the plate and i gave up altogether.

it's such a farce. republicans will fucking destroy us, and they don't care. their review of 1984 is that it's a Utopian, not Dystopian, novel. they want that world.
