Even if Clinton had won, the 2018 elections would've been very tough. Now, with Trump and the Rs pulling the levers, the Ds will be facing a stark future. What are the "progressives" doing? Rearranging peas on the plate. I suggest that they have a look at the 1932, 1934, and 1936 election results that cemented Democratic political dominance that lasted through the 1970s, and didn't really end until the 1990s. That fate is what awaits the Democratic Party.

You are EXACTLY the same as every corrupt wingnut. There is no difference whatsoever.

The Ds are in their worst shape in nearly 100 years, and after 2018 they'll be wiped out except in about 10 states, if that. Their leaders are in their 70s, and have mortgaged their tribe to a handful of billionaires who mutter "progressive" noises. It's pathetic. Even though I'm not a D, nor am I a R, and I think we need genuine competition. That's about to vanish, and none of you seems to know it.

You are the mirror image of the wingnuts. They think they've got a corner on God and patriotism, and you think you are smarter and better than everyone else. No wonder the general public finds both of your tribes distateful and was willing to vote for the pig in the china shop. May Satan help you if the Rs have ideas and all your tribe can do is sit there and spout your frustrations.

I realize that "progressives" think "identifying" as whatever makes you whatever, but it's not true. Bradley Manning can change his name to whatever he wants, but he's male even if he doesn't like it. p.s.: I guess it's okay for "progressives" to do the big reversal on Wikileaks, but God help you if you fail to buy into the weirdo transsexual "identity" idea.

So tell me, is Eastasia our friend or is Eastasia our enemy? I always forget.

I just shot sushi through my nose laughing at this posting, and that's not funny! I suppose I could rebut this foolishness point by point, but why bother? Instead, let me cut to the chase and tell you why the sushi came out of the wrong orifice. Your attempt to wrap this turd in a blanket of Republican sins was intensely laughable. Children, you should be asking a very different question, but one that you are just too damn deathly afraid to ask: Given what a manifest whackjob Trump is -- something that the majority of his voters knew, and have told anyone who might bother to listen -- just how is it that the Democrats lost anyway? There is always a core of 1/3 who will vote for their tribe no matter what. Trump shouldn't have gotten more than that, but he did. Kids: WHY? It's not because his voters liked the antics, at least not in the general election. It's because the Democrats nominated a corrupt liar, and because the underlying "progressive" tribe made itself thoroughly distasteful and obnoxious. Your "friends" in the media? The more they piled on Trump while taking Hillary Clinton at face value, the more Trump voters they created. "Reality Based," you say? Ha! Not hardly. Just wait until 2018. The Democrats are going to be a bloody streak on the highway in that election. At that point, I doubt you'll even be trying to lie to yourselves. Why not get a two-year jump start? It's the only hope.

Leave it to the Russkies to be the ones who tell the truth.

I'd carry it in the pocket of my overcoat, walk down the aisle of the commuter rail in Boston, and knock loud people off their phones. They never knew what did it. I had lots of fun watching them re-dial their calls.

The Republicans badly overplayed their hand. The result will be a quick and decisive rebuke from Wisconsin's generally moderate electorate.

How does it feel to be "Swiftboated," my dear wingnuts? Did you really think that the Democrats wouldn't eventually learn how to play the rough game too?

These evangelicals have a kind of hive mind. Once someone manages to convince them that they're in the same tribe, there is only one thing that can get 'em kicked out, and that's being g-a-y and male. (In public, that is. If a man does it like a dog with another man in private, that's okay, especially if they're both preachers. And if you're a lesbian, everything's okay as long as you make movies.) Anything else goes. Murder, mayhem, drugs, hetero sex on the floor of the hotel ballroom, alcoholism, stealing, lying. You name it. As long as you're not (publicly) g-a-y you'll be in heaven, and no tribal member will ever question anything, no matter how obvious it is to everyone else. p.s.: Wow, the "Intense Debate" service actually blocks the word "g-a-y." But not "lesbian." Ha ha! Must be run by evangelical wingnuts, huh?!

It's entertainment. I can't blame the network for this. It's all about the money. Shocking, ain't it?

Come on, "Anna," you made the accusation, so back it up with evidence. Or are you just one more evangelical Christian who figures she can tell whatever lie pops into her head, knowing that she's accepted Jay-sus H. Christ as her personal savior and therefore will go to heaven no matter what the hell she does on earth? As for the pregnancy, I actually hope it's false and Bristol just tuned into another fat white trash American cow. The Palins really aren't people who ought to be bringing more kids into the world. In fact, if Bristol does what a lot of you people do and sneaks off for an abortion while continuing to pump out the "pro-life" junk in public, she'll still have done the world a favor.

Those Palins are like minks with television contracts!
