Fire And Fury Is Entertaining But Dems Still Need An Agenda
Donald Trump never ceases to entertain. The Wolff book rings true, with its jaw-dropping portrait of chaos and intrigue, warring White House factions and infantile narcissism – it’s simultaneously funny and terrifying. This is the story of the Trump presidency: a haunted house where every room is more startlingly macabre than the next. And so we…

I admit politics sometimes bewilders me along with angering me.
Quite how America has lived with a system that ignores the popular vote and allows an electoral college to shove a lunatic into the Presidency is completely beyond me.
Hard to believe anything bewilders you Neil, you admitting that shows you are humble and an honest man, which is nice.
They have an agenda, it just does not get the air time that, hey look over there at that scary brown person taking your money and all the things away from you does. I recently saw an article that showed last election, I know I know it was a long time ago but stay with me, showed that issues were just not covered the way emails, benghazi etc were covered. Add to this the voter suppression efforts in many states and you get what we have currently where dems win by large margins but goopers get the seats because of the way things are split up.
Gerrymandering is a nasty game played by both sides, particularly Republicans. Democrats are a pushover.
I know and right now there are a couple of cases going through SCOTUS I believe, one in Maryland done by dems. If they knock that one down, they have to knock all the goopery ones down also. I think it was SC this week were told, you cannot use the map in place right now and you have to come up with something new for this years election and there is a side by side group coming up with a map, and if the SC partisan group chooses not to do what they have been told, more than once to do, the non partisan side group map will be used instead. I think it was SC, could have been NC though.
This year I donated some money to a national Latino group that is helping get people registered, instead of sending it to my alma mater till they get rid of Condaleeza Rice. Every single year they send me a begging letter and every single year I send it back, registered mail, asking them when will be rid of Rice, till then don’t ask me for money. They keep asking I keep saying hell no, you get nothing. Some of the people I graduated with have been on me, how can you not help the school that gave you the best education. Um, easy, I just don’t want my money helping pay for that warmongering wench so I just don’t give them money. Apparently I am a bad person for doing this but know what, I am okay with this label my money goes to better causes.
You have an awful lot to say for yourself and it’s remarkable. Keep up the good words.
Democrats need more than a new agenda, they need some new faces on the national stage and I don’t mean Oprah.
I agree completely, especially about Oprah. The idea of her running for president concerns me. If she actually gets elected I’m moving to Scotland to live with my cousin.
