Capitol Hill needs to be buzzing with the Trump/Kennedy scandal

Tom Cotton (yes him) has had NO calls about the quid pro quo and the collusion of the sons. Boozeman has had a few. They need to be inundated

It will likely be more multicultural non white people and a few truly liberal white people who will follow the trail and hold them in contempt for the collusive vile they've (Trump, Kennedy and Republicans) engaged and done. But general white society will find a way to make it acceptable and another non issue within their ethnic ranks.

We see it over and over on almost any issue, and sadly the same is seen in this site... because fact is... there are Right Leaning Democrats, Middle Democrats, and Democrats with a Right slant, along with the fact there are True Dedicated Liberal Democrats, and then there's the Soft Democrats, and then there is the democrats that waver between the libertarian slant, as well as other Non True Liberal Democratic Position and Stance, it a mixture that can't seem to come together on a solidified stance.

Yet, Among Republican, whether they are Right devoted Republicans, Middle Republican, or even Left Slant Republican, they all back and support what the Republican Agenda is, and they have no problem voicing it.

Where as, with Democrats, it is very different. We can see it in the comment sections, we can see it in the areas where hundred's of people read things, that are at core fully democratic and all the way liberal values, and many times, none have anything to say. Silence speaks volumes in a site like this that is suppose to be about and for Democrats. It tells of the weak point, but it also tells of the weakness in holding a unified consensus about position and policy agenda.

When we know this to be fact... then those of us who are true to the aim and desire of liberal values as Democrats, know that we can't let up, on any aspect of addressing what is needed, and what needs to be supported and what needs to be promoted and what we need to do to have outreach to others who may appreciate the democratic values and ideals.

...the GOP more or less consists of batshit insane greedy bigots (the majority) and a relatively small group of slightly less horrible people (McCain, Collins, etc.). The latter once would have been considered to be somewhere between mainstream Republicans and far right Republicans. Now they are "moderates" or "centrists" or even "liberal Republicans."

Obama wouldn't have gotten away with 1/1000th of the shit Trump is doing. Violating the emoluments clause alone would have resulted in impeachment, even if Dems were in the majority.
