38. Drip, drip, drip ...And the Republicans control the tap. So far...
Sun Dec 31, 2017, 07:51 AM
Dec 2017

nothing has been enough to take the treasonous bastards down because there are so many of them
gathered protectively around the faucet.
Their base supporters (and I do mean base!) are fully embracing the treasonous acts or are too blinded by sheer ignorance and insidious, insecure hate.

For decades the Republican Party has obsessively supported and legislated the complete dumbing down of society. By any means, using gender, religion and race without conscience or morality. Those who have resisted have had their financial status and power chipped away...if they had any in the first place.
At this point we find ourselves relying on the decency and morality of a handful of Republicans who will have the character to resist.

This is one helluva war we must win.
