The more the merrier to stop trump.

Secondly, with trump's declaration of war on the gop.. hopefully many of his fans will be sitting the down ticket out. Hey, it wasn't my idea.. they thought that up all on their own!



I was on a couple of months break.. recharging!

Good to be back to see my buddies and just in time for the Zombieapocalypse

source.. I just mine them.. they're like a National Treasure Trove.

Speaking of the BEST.. have you seen this, BlueMTexpat?

I was looking for Pres Obama's vid and I came across this first.. Trevor Noah is on ******* FIRE! And, I was laughing my head off! Deep belly laughs.. he made so much sense in such an hilarious way!

seen that! Noah and several other comedians will likely be - almost - sorry to see Trump go.

I say "almost" because a Trump win would likely guarantee prison for any comedian who satirized him.

That there were truly no good republicans. They've never done a thing for the working man since LBJ. A pox on them all. And no, I don't play very nice with them either.

Weicker was pretty good
There are two state legislators in Illinois that Rauner tried to take down in the Rep Primary because they support unions
They're a dying breed though

"good people" do not support racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, etc - when they vote republican they know exactly what they are getting
