I'm so sick of posts that are nothing but a blind link to TWIT. I will not click on them.

It's still a post with no actual content - it only supports Putin's Propaganda Platform.

Here is what you are not seeing:

John O. Brennan
@JohnBrennan
No one deserves a more thorough drubbing on Election Day than Donald Trump.

Well, maybe Lindsey Graham does,

& Mitch McConnell,

& Thom Tillis,

& David Purdue,

& Joni Ernst.

Oh, heck, all Trump lackeys deserve to be tossed out.

Vote Biden/Harris & flip the Senate.

Everyone's in such a rush they won't take the extra few clicks.

Don't like it. Don't click. It's not complicated.

As stated elsewhere, DU isn't the problem. The problem is with your browser settings or an update broke the display process on your PC. Or both. Update your operating system. Update your browser. Check your settings. Try a different browser.

It's just wasting my time, and the ratio of real posts to Twit spam is dropping very low these days.

Things look good for Dems if we have a blue wave of turnout nationwide helping our Senate candidates. Let's flip the Senate and pass some meaningful reforms for President Biden to sign into law. VP Harris will preside over some good hearings and whip them into shape.

- Failed to read intelligence briefings outlining danger of terrorist hijackings.
- Did nothing to secure air travel. Saudi Arabians hijack four planes and murder thousands of Americans.
- Allowed enemy to escape Afghanistan by failure to commit sufficient military forces.
- Invaded wrong country following 9-11 for war profiteering purposes.

AWOL BUSH deserved to be impeached and prosecuted, along with his corrupt cabal. But he got re-elected.
