Yep, that's the guy. I think he's actually nuttier than Maxine Waters. I sometimes wonder if guys like him and Waters even really believe the crap that they spew. It almost has a comical over the top vibe purely for entertainment value.

I at least hope so, some of the things I see in the media are just insane. I suspect between now and November we're going to see even more insanity, especially as Trump is rising in the polls.

what ones in particular she is talking about.
I will see if I can find any of these training camps headed by the Trump Gestapo.
She is talking about a demographic, white, rural, blue-collar, you know the deplorables. People like her believe trump supporters live in the hills and are like the "Beverly Hillbillies".

It does seem like white blue collar people are pretty much fair game to those in the media and politics. Can openly call them rednecks and other slurs without any consequences.

Some of these double standards we have now are just getting old to me and many others I'm sure. When I'm not dressing nice for work, I could be mistaken for a "redneck" I've got long hair and a goatee and I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy. I understand people will judge you for how you present yourself, but people should also be wary of judging people with too broad of a brush.

People think I am a lefter because I have long hair, ear rings and surf. When I'm in the bmw smiles, when I'm in my lifted F350 oil burner, not so much. People are weird like that. If you are looking to make friends good way to weed them out.

She's a rough looking old broad. Looks like she's taken a few shots before.

I think that that woman needs to get another wig. That one she's sportin' now has to go.

This woman really needs to be committed to a institution where they deal with crazies.
Unfortunately there are none anymore.
During her last election, a white guy tried to take her place in Washington, but being white, trying to represent a predominantly black neighborhood, he failed in his bid to replace her.

Oddly enough, I don't think anyone in her area she represents, has given any thought to who should replace her.
She can't live forever.
Actually a predominantly Latino district, since many of her Black neighborhoods got shifted to keep other seats in a Black representative's hand. Probably when she passes a Latino democrat will step forward to claim their seat for life

The mainstream media is propaganda and won't expose her long history of divisiveness, racism, and BS.

If she had an R after her name they would.
