@matthewjdowd

@matthewjdowd @NicolleDWallace I agree. SOMETHING needs to happen. But what? Some of us have been screaming about the lies and cheating of the GOP since Nixon, since Reagan took cheating, lying, racist divide and conquer to a whole new level. How could we have stopped Reagan?

We COULD NOT because white grievance has been so powerful, RR merely saying "Welfare Queens" had more than a few well educated white people repeating the myth of that black woman at the grocery line using "food stamps" to buy steak, or some poor white women buying lobster with

stamps. It was maddening and yet it worked. So many are SO SURE they knew someone who knew someone who had seen it themselves. Then came HW Bush and "Willie Horton". Every Dem labeled as soft on crime had to jump on the political "law and order " bandwagon. Reagan destroyed

@l78lancer

@l78lancer THANK YOU. People like them, the NEVER TRUMPERS, the former Rs, need to hear this: The GOP built the Trump administration; the GOP planted the seeds back in 1980 for the emergence of Rush, Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, all the white supremacists. While evil effing Reagan only

@l78lancer

@l78lancer dog whistled his racism, he was feed it, along with feeding the wealth hoarder despicables and deplorables. He resurrected robber barons, killed unions using racist/sexist dog whistles about labor; used theocratic nut balls to destroy public ed. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE for so many

@l78lancer

@l78lancer former GOP. Until and unless they FINALLY acknowledge what many of us have known and watched for decades, I cannot imagine them doing better if they do get the R party back. All one has to do is see how connected the Reagan, Bush and W administrations were, how easy corruption

@SenatorSinema

@SenatorSinema Clearly you are right about "not being an enigma". Since you CLAIMED no one knows what and enigma is, here's the definition; ENIGMA: a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. There is NOTHING mysterious about you. You are not

the least but puzzling; YOU ARE A GREEDY, albeit, immature, as bad as any adolescent raised in bigoted home/environment, RACIST. It shows in everything you say and do. Your greed, of course, supersedes your conscience, your duties, your oath to the constitution. You have chosen

a RACIST Jim Crow game, called the filibuster; to destroy, hurt our republic, as well, as the constitution. I find it laughable that any who supported you are now scratching their heads. "She's intelligent, they say; she cared about the planet, the people.' But they are wrong.

@chrislhayes

@chrislhayes The purpose is $$$$$$$. We are, and have been for most of our history, a county based on VULTURE capitalism. The New Deal and its endorsement of unions started some change (tho' not inclusive at all) toward an actual republic. IMO this gave room for the Civil Rights, Voting

@chrislhayes

@chrislhayes Rights, women's rights movement to begin to grown. And their success scared the bejesus out of the vultures. The stealth movement that had been percolating since the 1930s took on urgency; the dark money pushed harder, groups like ALEC, Heritage Foundation, Federalists got hold

@chrislhayes

@chrislhayes and far right movements became massive, like a giant squid, it's tentacles reaching into every corner to make sure the status quo of white males always win the rigged meritocracy game. They did this by "allowing" a few women, a few people of color to have a little bit of a say so

@MSNBC

@MSNBC @CNN @ABC @NBCNews @CBSNews I get it. What has happened in Afghanistan is horrific. Losing 13 Americans to mad bombers of ISIS is horrid. But I need to say this, and I know I may get flack. I do not care. Afghanistan warring, along with all wars in the middle east have

have been horrific for as long as I can remember and at 75, that is a long time. Americans (and all humans) dying at the hands of mad bombers and/or shooters are horrid whenever and wherever, from Oklahoma City to Columbine, from The Twin Towers to Sandy Hook. No one wants this;

but setting us up for guerilla warfare since the mistakes of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan has never helped, has only made things worse. So yes, let us mourn the tragedy. But PLEASE media, stop ignoring the tragedy here. While you focus on the Americans, the Marines that died in

Dear Media: @CNN @MSNBC @NBCNews @ABC @CBSNews @nytimes @washingtonpost Stop calling these people: MODERATES. THAT is a misnomer. @CaptMarkKelly , D-Ariz., @SenatorHassan , D-N.H. @jontester , D-Mont., @ChrisCoons , D-Del., @TomCarperforDE , D-Del., @SenAngusKing

@SenatorSinema

I-Maine, are NOT moderates. They are ENABLERS OF ANTI-DEMOCRACY, oligarchal wannabbee tyrants. They are giving power to the greed, the betrayal, the nastiness of @Sen_JoeMancin @SenatorSinema whose actions betray the idea of a republic. A republic is governance OF, BY, FOR the

people. And any who still play the "corporations are people, my friend" game are vulture capitalists who get $$$$ to line their and their donors pockets ahead of all else. THIS pandemic has been a test of all; it shows who gives a damn about We, the People, and who cares
