Truth is the thing they abhor and will do anything they can to destroy it.

The "honor system" that our government has used over the past couple centuries, is essentially gone.

But this? So rotted.
Sources of rot.
I. Have. Never. In. All. My. Born. Days.

My dad did not serve in the 2nd WW and nearly lose his life for it to come to this. He did die at 45 yrs., and I feel what he experienced contributed.

and died at age 50. His father was in WW1, and I think he had just turned 60 when he died (just before I was born).

We are currently in a very low place in this country and I am hoping that we can recoup the "democratic process and decorum" that extreme amounts of money have helped to destroy.

Yes, we are at an extreme low. My Faith is sustaining me, but I'm only human like all others who feel anguish and not despondency, but just getting weary of all of this.

The source of the 'working of iniquity' is currently occupying our oval office, and the other 'workers' prop him up.

We had a saying back in the day. It's not very Godly and here it comes out of my afternoon potty mouth, but our political adversaries, the non-Democratic Party, are creaming in their jeans.

Sorry if I have offended any.

How can it be. Roseanne Barr ends her career due to SOMEthing she done; a whole list of powerful guys are brought low due to -moral failure? - yet this banana republican nonsense re trump ad nazism....there must be 100 thousands media types committing felonys daily, or surely common sense would at least back drop the foolish ness

what the gop likes, liars with attitude. Kavanaugh is supremely UNQUALIFIED for the SC. tRump wants his votes against any charges brought against him or his family, and Kav. is the patsy who will decide his fate.

If Avenatti has someone willing to file charges in MD (and the "charges" would need to be of a very specific type in order to get around the statute of limitations), then that might become an issue for him.
