I see this as enormous deflection from a party with a President who has likely been propped up with Russian mob money since daddy died since no sane banker would lend him a dime and daddy was no longer around to bail out his constant stream of business failures. That and nutty policy from the billionaire right wing extremists like Sheldon Adelson. It's pretty irrational foreign policy to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.


Reckless. As is getting out of the nuclear deal with Russia. The man is a threat to our country.


I'm betting most families in a place like Oklahoma have similar family tales.

Somewhat unrelated, but the best I can say about Warren is that she did inspire me to order 23andme. Should be fun!

Taking a cavalier attitude towards it allows it to not only continue but also grow. Lying politicians are like black mold. if you ignore the problem it just spreads and grows until it consumes everything.

Yeah, now imagine if the late night talk shows and SNL would step away from Trump for just a second and write a parody or two about her.

He is mostly on the wrong side of every issue, with some minor exceptions.

I wouldn't expect you to agree with him on most issues.

In politics, your 'team' is a bunch of extremely rich people who use right wing media to get people all worked up about fringe social issues so they vote for politicians who support low taxes for rich people. The other 'team' isn't any better. Just different fringe issues. Everybody is using emotion when what we really need is a rational discussion about public policy. That includes listening to Elizabeth Warren lectures that make my ears bleed.

I do not have a "team".

And then her claiming Cherokee DNA because of family lore, yet never once in all of her 69 years actually getting to know the Cherokee people and their culture or advocating for them.
Well, I want a senator who is against trump.....so she’s it.

But what is that person is not tending to their duties as your state senator? She doesn't have to be a state senator in order to tweet against him.

Plus she seems to be planning to run against him in 2020, so she's going to be doing even less work as a Massachusetts state senator. Wouldn't it be much better for Massachusetts if she just lost this race and instead just focus on her presidential run???
