I want some speechifying and fainting!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

We are existing in a slow motion living nightmare. You know, that one where you sense the evil presence lurking over your bed, but you can't sit up and your throat is frozen and you try to scream, but you can only manage a little croak?

Is there any room for optimism of any kind anymore? Are we drugged by complacency? Fear? Ignorance? Why in the name of all that is good do we as a nation remain so immobilized to the evil in our midst? How is it possible that one small man can reduce the Constitution to tatters, wage injudicious wars,promote torture,take away our liberties and we all just lie abed and let him do it?

Are all the Democrats in Congress and the Senate complicit too? Why aren't they all speechifying and fainting like Jimmy Stewart?

1. It Wasn't One Small Man but a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

Hillary was right, so why, pray tell, is she selling out to them?

2. You're right, it's so much more than one small man.

He is not a President although he plays one on TV.

3. because "Mr Smith Goes to Washington"...

...was just a movie...

4. Feingold Tried

Feingold tried to censure Dear Leader for the greatest breach of the Constitution in modern time. Democrats fled like scared puppies.

I guess that Estonian vodka swilling contests are more important than, say, the Constitution and stuff.

Whatever.

[Stinky The Clown]

5. Why? Because no one has the balls this lone man did.
