Raises dirty tricks to a high "art".

Surprised they haven’t flung that poo at Biden yet. Hell, seems like they’ve tried everything else…

And dammit, liberals shouldn't be shrinking violets!

I’m damn proud of being a liberal! And I’m not afraid to say so!

My liberal beliefs include freedom, compassion, empathy, patience, and encouragement of rights without dictating them. Honoring and accepting the individual without judgment. Remaining mindful of your community and how you fit in peacefully and and with consideration of others. Making room for all, because rainbows come in ALL colors, not just one. Support without shame. Accommodation but without compromise.

I make NO apologies for that. And I won’t back down or whine or make excuses for - or apologize for - how I see the world and how I function harmoniously within it.

Being a conservative is rigid and judgmental and closed, not open. It demands that everybody conforms to your cookie-cutter, no matter how selfish, miopic, antiquated, unrealistic, inhuman, intolerant, or prejudicial that may be. And that ain’t me.

I’m damn proud to be a liberal! And from everything I learned in 14 years of Catholic school, our Lord Jesus was a liberal.

Amazing how they're just openly fraternizing with the freakin' ENEMY!!!

WHAT do they not understand about the-Russians-are-our-ADVERSARIES! ?????

What's that quote?

I think it's something along the lines of "...they also serve who only stand and wait."

I hope it's a hint about things to come!

These things leave me a nervous wreck, sometimes.

And I have to say - the Republicans screaming about pedophilia among their opponents...

Sounds like projection much. Somebody over there DOES have a problem with pedophilia. I'd say count on it. Projection is their #1 weapon of choice. And projection is what you'll see a lot of, especially Republicans aiming outward with all kinds of icky accusations and insinuations. It's because they're doing it back home. Or someone close to them is, while they're busy looking - and pointing - the other way. But I'd say if they're making this big a deal about pedophilia among their opponents, then it's UNDOUBTEDLY going on in their own midst. Maybe not just "going on" but raging and roaring on! I suspect the Russian emphasis on pedophilia among its opponents is a BIG tell. With bells on, and a big flashing neon hat like an electrified cherry on top.

Seems appropriate, somehow.

Considering who his father-in-law is. Those numbers fit.

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
