1. Shame on ANYONE

who's is putting his personal agenda or politcal party's ideology ahead of the wishes of American citizens. Shame on anyone who supports trump and handing our country over to Russia. Shame on them all.

[yuiyoshida]

2. Good, California needs to boot out all

Republicans in our government and replace them all with decent Democrats and Independents!

[riversedge]

4. Wish so much--that we could accomplish that in our beloved WI-now so gerrrymandered that

it will be a while

[tenorly]

3. A well-deserved rout.

I hope the good people of California's 4th District will think twice next time before electing an Orange County carpetbagger.

[riversedge]

5. I am glad to see this happening in a RED area.

[tenorly]

6. Truly.

For many years, many of the less ideological (i.e. non-radicalized) Republicans thought that their contempt was directed solely against the poor, minorities, and academia - never to "average folks" like them.

They're now starting to realize that the Tom McClintocks of the world are only thinking of one thing: how big will my Newport Beach mansion be once I get out of office, and how much corporate butt do I have to kiss to get it.

20. Good description.

I've had several unpleasant encounters with this incurious tool and flim-flam man, starting when he was the twenty-something young Republican pretty-boy from Southern California.

It wasn't just corporate butt he kissed, he was an enthusiastic butt kisser within the California Republican Party. He's probably still telling seventy and eighty year old California Republican toads their farts smell like perfume.

[tenorly]

21. Great imagery.

Right out of the Roman Empire, these people.

I never had the dubious honor of meeting McClintock; but I lived in Orange County for a few years and remember some of the church ladies fawning over "such a nice man."

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

7. This is what people need to do to every Republican

Make them know people are pissed and don't let up until they do their damn job and stop the insanity and impeach Trump.

[The Sand Reckoner]

15. No, they need to vote out

as many Republicans as they possibly can. Never mind "holding them accountable". Simply take their power away.

Impeaching Trump will not stop the Republican fascism.

[ghostsinthemachine]

8. Yeah! My area there

Had some friends out there. Keep the pressure on them. Scared little puppies.

[Cha]

9. What "agenda", asshole. It's indefensible.

[TomCADem]

10. A Lot of His Constituents Rely on the ACA. He Is Turning His Back...

...on them.

[SunSeeker]

11. He's been moving to redder parts of the state to stay in office.

He started out in Ventura, and I see he is now in Roseville. He has been a anti-tax Republican politician his whole adult life, living ironically off the public trough.

[not fooled]

12. Good to see

A lot of 'Murikans who previously would vote 'puke without much awareness of the party's actual agenda...seem to be FINALLY waking up to the fact that the party is basically a scam to extract $$$ from the working and middle classes...and funnel it upwards.

Thanks, dump for providing the wake-up call.



P.S. Many shouts of "Liar!" are in there too. Tee hee!!!



P.P.S. Is there any footage from INSIDE the meeting? Would LOVE to see (and hear) THAT!!!

13. I lived in that area for a time and it was full of deplorables

I carpooled with some to Sacramento. The dumbest people I ever met. Finally quit the job and moved back to the Bay Area. I have a friend who is a San Francisco local guy and he hates it there but his wife got a good paying job so they moved there. He comes back to the city often, he tells me to talk with sane people.

19. The only time I ever seriously considered buying a gun was when I woke up the morning after

a friends party in that area. My friend told his local buddies that I'm a bay area libtard and hilarity ensued.

I've never encountered such rabid, racist, nasty, malicious people. My wife and I endured about four hours of non stop racist, homophobic, xenophobic remarks and unfriendly behavior. I've known some of these people; about a third of the people had moved there from the bay area. There must be something in the water.

My first waking thought the next morning at the motel was "I need to get a gun to protect me from those jerks." Never did get a gun.

The saving grace at that party was my friends mom, sisters, and a couple of old mutual friends. He and I are still friends (long and deep connection that's impossible to break) but I've never returned.

McClintock was the only candidate at that trumped up recall debate who attempted to discuss serious issues. but that's the only positive thing I know about him and that episode is now ancient history. Orange county capetbagging teabagger is on the surface.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. They're using the Indivisble playbook!

Woo Hoo! I don't care if they are conservative or not, they're getting the message across!

[RussBLib]

17. indeed

And they have to keep the pressure up.

Even better, advance a solid candidate to oppose this lout in the 2018 election.

[Paladin]

16. I'm loving it. (nt)

[bucolic_frolic]

18. I'm beginning to think

that the antidote to Nazism is modern media culture and real-time
universal communications. They just can't operate in secret anymore.

[DK504]

22. So these little weenies think it's okay to back

backroom deals, late night votes and secret meeting. But they can't meet with their constituents .... Chicken shits.

Hope they realize they have been had in NoCal.
