Just in: The orange blob has been cleared of all charges and won't be impeach and may continue to wreak havoc from the White House. It's news but certainly not unexpected. It was totally predictable that he was going to be cleared by the Republicans.

I wish Hitler had developed cancer in his earlier years

The influence of President Trump and Fox News on people of dubious mental faculties was proven again several months ago (though only recently reported on). Jan Peter Meister of Tuscon, Arizona was watching Fox News and got so frustrated by the commentary that he called the office of House Representative Adam Schiff and ranted very explicitly on his voicemail. The message was proved to local authorities who searched his home and found two handguns, a tactical assault rifle and nearly 800 rounds of ammunition. By the way, Mr. Meister is a registered sex offender having served 15 years for rape in Maryland in the late 80s.. He has another sexual offense conviction from that period, several aggravated DUI, disorderly conduct and assault charges in Arizona from 2000-2002. His Arizona state right to possess firearms was restored by a Mariocopa County judge and his record was expunged only a few years after the DUI charges.

The message he left on Oct 1, 2019 for congressman Schiff is as follows:
“Go fuck your mother, you son of a bitch cause I’m gonna fucking blow your brains out you fucking piece of shit mother, fucker, you’re a fucking piece of shit. You fucking piece of shit mother fucker. Yeah watch. I’m gonna fuck your asshole you piece of shit son of a bitch. Yeah come get me. I guarantee I’ll fuck your brains out.”

Law enforcement related the following upon his arrest: “He told them that he watches Fox News and likely was upset at something that he saw on the news and that he strongly dislikes the Democrats, and feels they are to blame for the country’s political issues.”

His trial is set for March 9th where he plans to plead not guilty.

When you inspire hate....

OK, let's do this.  Gloves off.  You and me.  Round for round.  Blood for blood.  My Sanders vs your Trump.  Who has influenced more violence.  I'll even be a gentleman and let you go first. Step up or step off.

I absolutely LOVE how unbalanced Trump supporters are. Like, every time you criticize Trump or the republican party for brazen, disgusting, illegal behaviour or what-have-you, they never take responsibility or own up to it. It's always 'yeah, but benghazi! her emails!' And while yeah, democrats ain't pure, they're worlds apart from the disgusting things Trump and his party does. 

It's like the idea that Climate Change Deniers and everyone else deserves equal ground in a debate that has a right and a wrong answer. so many youtube pundits and political figures in the media act like 1v1 debates are the only way to get the right, most fair answer in a debate where it's 998 vs 2 in terms of number of people who accept that Climate Change is real vs those who deny it. the truth is skewed so far in one direction it's astounding how disingenuous it is to try and present both sides equally. That's how it is when Republicans try to push their 'whataboutism' and redirect the focus on the enemy's handful of bad examples. It's the only way they'll be able to absolve their responsibility for all the bad their party is doing. 

John Oliver actually said it remarkably well. Clinton's problems exist and they're disgusting, like raisins in a cookie. Trump's scandals and offences are so numerous it's like dumping a bucket of raisins on your head. both have done bad things, but Trump (and by extension, his party) are provably so, so, SO much worse. 

I don't know how you can't laugh about one side trying to smear the other side, then having the other side point out how the initial side has created similar if not worse problems already, then the initial side saying, 'Oh ya? Well let's make a chart and see who's the worst!'

It's like trying to prove to people that getting kicked in the teeth is better than kicked in the nuts.

Newsflash. They don't want to get kicked at all and would rather be given a helping hand.

Yet if the kicking won't stop, then who care's if your side kicks both teeth and nuts?

Vote for us, because we won't kick you, just the President out of office!

That's not what we meant by a helping hand.

A helping hand you say? Like Medicare for all, college for all, housing for all, campaign finance reform so poor people have a voice, etc.

Yeah looks like if you're really concerned about giving people a helping hand and are tired of the superficial back and forth between corporate Republicans and Democrats you'd vote Bernie.

Don't kick good working people on either side of the aisle; vote Bernie.

And now EU ambassador Gordon Sondland has been fired.

This is why people feared testifying against him. And feared voting for his impeachment.  Trump's vindictiveness and vitriolic retribution has silenced those who would otherwise speak the truth against him.
