Isn’t it time that Democratic leaders press for, and Democratic donors pony up for a TV/radio station that will counter the anti-democracy, proto-Fascistic filth spewed every day by Fox? Or an online site to counter Breitbart?

Good question.

where health care is concerned will be to attempt to sabotage the ACA by every means possible so as to create support for repeal.

Trump could not have been elected without the GOP’s war on literacy and knowledge, in which stupid becomes the highest qualification for elected office.

Senator Merkley gave a great speech a couple of days ago outlining point by point how Trump is installing authoritarianism in America. “Tamias” at Daily Kos has posted the contents.

He dared to mention Demosthenes, and sensibly explained who he was as well. This is the kind of education that allows self-empowerment, exactly what the GOP has declared war on.

“As Demosthenes , an ancient Greek statesman, legal scholar of the third century B.C. once said, quote, ‘There is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all, but especially to democracies as against despots: suspicion,’ end of quote. What Demosthenes was saying was that in a democracy, we don’t take the statements of our political leaders simply at face value.”

Those sentiments do not aid the agenda of a Trump.

We all need to be very afraid.

Samantha Bee makes panic hilarious as she sends up/decries the threat of Nazi-fraternity member Sebastian L. v. Gorka–now an important advisor to Trump.

Gorka almost makes me ashamed of my Hungarian heritage. But at least his ridiculous fake voice is funny.

By the time he’s done, we won’t have a planet fit for goat nor human.

Why has there been so little reporting on the fact that Gorsuch’s mother Anne Gorsuch was run out of Washington for eviscerating the Environmental Protection Agency when she headed it?

Today, Pat Gallagher of the Sierra Club testified that: “Judge Gorsuch’s ideology threatens bed rock and environmental law and the rights of citizens to a fair and equal voice.”

If ever a Supreme Court nominee’s testimony relied on ethos rather than logos, it was his.

Senator Bob Casey announces he will oppose Gorsuch because he doubts his “judicial approach will ensure fairness for workers and families in Pennsylvania.”

All the more incentive for Democrats to finally start discovering how to win elections and thus be able to reinstate it!

The Republican Judiciary committee’s palaver with Gorsuch over the course of three days projected like a group of twelve-year-olds’ pot and masturbation meet up.
