I hate to burst your hate filled bubble BUT, the dems are just as involved as the repubs are.

It is amazing the ignorance some show by thinking it is ONLY the repubs!
LOL! Welcome Red Herring!

Do I sound hate filled to you? Is that all you can think of? Is that the only motivation you really understand?

Keep deceiving yourself.

Saying 'but the other guy does it' is no defense, it is basically an admission that the Republican party is for sale to the highest bidder and a poor attempt on your part at deflection.

Come back to me with your silly defense when the Republicans advocate for a raise in the minimum wage, Medicare for all, or family leave. Or better still when the Republicans decide to back a constitutional amendment to get big dark money out of politics.


They won't because they are in the pockets of the very rich.

Ford and Carter also.

I think there will be a few people running against Trump. Kasich, Flake, and Corker are certainly possibilities. Also maybe Bannon.

Oh, well. I guess too much is never enough.
Probably building up the war chest for a run against Trump in the primaries.

That about sums it up --- the democrats have nothing at all to appeal to the regular guy or gal.
And what is scary is that they had 8 years of Obama and darn near another 4 or 8 with Hillary Clinton.
In my mind it's good reason for requiring an intelligence test before you are eligible to vote.

Funny thing is that there's a conspiracy theory that Adelson brought the Steve Wynn sexual misconduct allegations up so he could buyout WYNN while it's weakened. LVS is nearly 4X larger in market capitalization and there's been a ton of consolidation among the casinos (MGM/Circus Circus and Caesar's/Bally's). It's just a rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's some truth to it.

Wouldn't surprise me either. The long knives are out.

I see no need to start a new thread, so I will stick this here:


https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...calia-medal-of


Next week President Trump is awarding 7 Medal of Freedoms, the highest civilian award. Those receiving it include Elvis, Babe Ruth, and the wife of Sheldon Adelson, Miriam.



Mr. Adelson and his wife have been very, very good to Mr. Trump and the Republican party:

It is a nice way to reward the Adelsons, with a Medal of Freedom.

17 lined up last time and took their licks and said thank you sir, can I have another.
Then Hillary felt it.
