Who's being more divisive?

...this is just my impression and opinion, but so far during this primary season the attacks from the right-wing of the Democratic Party against Bernie and Elizabeth seem to be a bit too much...the warning that we're all doomed to four more years and certain failure if either one we're nominated strikes me as un-Democratic...President Obama was an impossibility, trump was an impossibility...there are no impossibilities as far as I'm concerned....

...I know we're fighting for the soul of the Party but in order to succeed in November 2020 we must be unified...some of the things being said about Bernie and Elizabeth and their policies is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth...

...what do you think?

...to divide us with racism and bogus fear-mongering is the only way these slimy .1% money-grubbing capitalists can win...the capitalist .1% is the, "..rat and rodent infested mess.." that has infected our politics to destroy our democracy with racism in pursuit of personal gain...

...they can only succeed if we allow ourselves to be divided and if we don't fight back with everything in our power..."..no human being would want to live.." in a world infested with filthy race-baiting capitalists out for power and world domination at their country's expense...

...call trump and his ilk for what they are; evil race-baiting .1% fascists...the world has tolerated their kind before and no good has come of it..

And we have faith in future elections?

...I watched some of the Mueller testimony and came away in disbelief...without impeachment,

...if you want to run for President it's now okay to collude with a foreign adversary, have many meetings with them, have them break into opponents computers, dig up dirt and crap, then disseminate lies, propaganda and misinformation campaigns with fake staged rallies all on your behalf...

...and should you win it's okay to reward this adversary, applaud their actions, cut financial deals with them and then call our security agencies liars and these adversaries truthful...

...and should you be called out on the legality of your campaign, it's now okay to lie, cover up and conspire to thwart any investigation you don't like...in other words, your now above the law...

...and a President above the law is called a Dictator...

...are we happy?...

Are Puerto Ricans leading the way?

NPR, 7-18-2019

" Streets Of San Juan A 'War Zone' As Protesters Call For Governor To Resign "

" Some of Puerto Rico's biggest stars rallied a crowd of many thousands in San Juan on Wednesday calling on the island's governor, Ricardo Rosselló, to resign. It was the fifth day in a row of protests following a leak of hundreds of pages of misogynistic and homophobic texts between the governor and his main advisers. "

When did the Republican Party become a Party of racists?

The Hill, 7-16-2019

" Republicans on Tuesday demanded that Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) remarks blasting President Trump’s comments about four minority congresswomen as racist be removed from the record, freezing action on the floor ahead of a House vote condemning Trump. "

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/453370-gop-demands-that-pelosi-remarks-be-removed-from-record
……………………….

Trump has said the most vile and despicable things about every person who's ever disagreed with him. Trump was a leader in the birther movement against President Obama, has embraced Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists/Nationalists, Communist dictators and Fascism but somehow the House Republicans have a problem with Nancy applying the word 'racist' to Trump.

Trump has wrongly accused four honorable American citizens of color and U. S. House of Representative members of being ungrateful, un-American, unpatriotic Communists and that they should get out, "Love America or Leave It".

Most House and Senate Republicans agreed with their leader Trump.

A big two thumbs up for AOC...

The Washington Times, 7-14-2019

AOC fires back at Trump: 'You cannot accept that we don't fear you'

“Mr. President, the country I ‘come from,’ & the country we all swear to, is the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, said. “On top of not accepting an America that elected us, you cannot accept that we don’t fear you, either. You can’t accept that we will call your bluff & offer a positive vision for this country. And that’s what makes you seethe.”

She added, “You are angry because you don’t believe in an America where I represent New York 14, where the good people of Minnesota elected @IlhanMN, where @RashidaTlaib fights for Michigan families, where @AyannaPressley champions little girls in Boston. …You rely on a frightened America for your plunder.”

Her response Sunday afternoon was prompted by comments from Mr. Trump, also on Twitter, that she and the other first-term progressive women feuding with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should go back to the dysfunctional countries “from which they came” instead of criticizing the U.S.
