Do it again.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/10/trump-is-right-we-might-have-impeach-him-again/
So we’ll probably have to do it again.”

So said the already-once-impeached President Trump on Thursday in the East Room, musing about the possibility he could become the first president to be impeached more than once. And on the very next day, as though he were competing for it, Trump showed precisely why he could be destined to achieve that ignominious fate.

With essentially no pretense about why he was doing it, the president brazenly retaliated Friday against two witnesses who gave truthful testimony in the House’s impeachment inquiry. He fired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland. And he also fired a third man, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, merely for being the brother of the first. Trump essentially admitted his retaliatory motive on Saturday, when he tweeted that he sacked Vindman in part for having “reported contents of my ‘perfect’ calls incorrectly.”

Several municipalities across the U.S. are owed nearly 1 million in public safety fees

By the Rump campaigns.
I think Mexico would lend us money build a wall around the next one,
and charge every attendee their percentage of the owed fees, or not leave.

N.J. Democratic Rep gets drugged, has a stroke, goes insane:

Only obvious explanations I can confabulate for why in creation New Jersey Rep Rep. Jeff Van Drew has decided to become a Republican. News has it he had a recent meeting with the Orangeturd at the White House, the most likely scene where LSD got dropped in his tea, or his beautiful piece of chocolate cake. Surely even a relatively unpopular Blue Dog Democrat would never abandon all sound judgement otherwise, right?
Right out the twilight zone, behold:
https://www.npr.org/2019/12/15/788219342/house-democrat-who-opposed-impeachment-plans-to-switch-to-the-republican-party
Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a first-term Blue Dog Democrat who represents a swing district in southern New Jersey, intends to change parties after some of Van Drew's internal polling showed that he was becoming increasingly unpopular in his purple district, according to a senior Democratic aide.

It's way past time. I've been harping since the 80's. I still get "shrug".


Get on board or get ready to be on the shamefully wrong side of history.
That means your vote for who means business about this 100 percent.

"Fuck my future, will you?"

RW buzzword: "socialism"

And I have been gingerly performing my own social experiment.
When I've heard someone spit about "socialism"... I have been asking just exactly how they define the term. Guess what? They're totally fucking stumped. Every time.
Beyond that, two of those who I've head "I vote republican because they don't want socialism".
Both of those individuals are applying for Social Security disability benefits, became slack-jawed, totally thrown when I mentioned that Social Security, food stamps etc. IS democratic socialism. That the fire, police, street maintenance, stoplights, and dozens of services we all use every day are--- socialist programs.
Fox news simply doesn't provide these fucks much of an education do they? Their viewers do receive some sort of degree learning all the propaganda don't they?
