Not in the least. Republicans are gutter trash. Any half decent human left that clown car years ago. What's left is the dregs of humanity. Look at them through that framing and it's like...yea, that's how the roll. Gutter trash. Not surprised at all.

When, say, former Nazi Werner von Braun, came to the US to work on the space program.

Or, more recently, why doesn't this idiot have a chat with Sergei Brin. You know, the mutibillionaire who started that communist company, Google.

Oh, and why don't you call your fascist leader and ask to speak to his wife, the former communist, Melania Knaus.

Or, maybe we can ignore your hifalutin education and just go ahead and assume you're a bubba from down south because you were born in what is arguably the poorest state in the nation and now represent another state that isn't that much further from the bottom of every list of poor, and poorly educated, states.

And is anyone on our side going to call him out for this kind of vile behavior?

Every fucking day there's another demonstration of our continuing downward slide.

Would have been nifty if Dr. Omarova would have added, ". . . any more than you couldn't choose to be born in the least educated and most economically backward state of Mississippi.

Is it any wonder that we hate these people?

I have just a few real memories of JFK from ?'62, earlier '63. Of course many memories after 11-22-63 of people looking back on his Presidency. So very ingrained is the name esp in my nabe, and the north of me where at that time cousins' lived had a lot of Irish living there.

But hearing this bastard's (same) name - hard to describe - I sometimes get a "wait... what?!" split second inner response as though it was JFK, then the of course it can't be. Surreal!

In fact, her answer was personal and poignant, a reminder to these Republicans what the United States of America has traditionally represented: hope, a refuge to those who have suffered under oppressive regimes around the world.

Kennedy for all his education came off as an ignorant dick, reminiscent of a McCarthy-era accuser.

Republicans are hopeless and without shame.
