(12,409 posts)I did get to see this on MSNBC....so clicking a tweet is not necessary.

(47,486 posts)When I am at my desk top computer, as is now, the twit opens.
When I am sitting at the den with my iPad, I have to click on the twit which takes me to the twit page to see it and, on occasions, locks me until I sign up.
Very annoying..

(43,176 posts)and 25A, we still don't have a break glass in case of fire mechanism for when the occupant of the Oval Office is batshit crazy. Guess it kind of goes with power because there have been many demented madmen in the history of the world.

(63,221 posts)Little did I know. At least the man has some shred of humanity inside him. I never, ever imagined that someone like Trump would have come along. I am glad I was here when he did. I would have lost my mind without this community.

(14,726 posts)not to the core evil like TFG. I really despised and still do Cheney and the other creeps in that administration.

(81,304 posts)I found my way here through a website called "Resident Bush". DU was one of the other friendly sites listed along the left margin. Needed it after the bushies stole the White House from Al Gore.
And as you've said, "little did I know"! I thought dubya was bad - and yes, in a large part because of the scheming, duplicitous vermin (Cheney, Rove, and more) with whom he surrounded himself.

(3,871 posts)It ought to be released now that the Democrats control the Senate. It was about 5,000 pages long, wasn't it? Maybe only 2,000 pages...I don't recall exactly.
But, yeah, a trial for W, Cheney, Rice, Addington, John Yoo et al would be appropriate.
I suppose we're just too "busy" at the moment. After all, maybe we still have to "look forward", not backward.

Martin Eden
(12,870 posts)But that is much too kind
If you you could perform that feat
You'd take pleasure in your behind
I'd like to say eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war
Though I can never make you think
Or feel, or understand
I'll take solace when you hear your name
Cursed throughout the land
From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Until you're sick, heartbroken, and old
When you finally leave this Earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You're going straight to Hell

(12,870 posts)Let's remember that Donald Trump is a pathological liar with zero credibility.
Seriously, they should have consistently said that from the beginning.
Let's remember that Donald Trump is a pathological liar with zero credibility.
Rinse, repeat:
Let's remember that Donald Trump is a pathological liar with zero credibility.

(90,769 posts)But kind of typical for short memories and those who like to pretend crimes against humanity committed by Americans are somehow a mistake or not so bad or done with good intentions.
