Anyone else have a DINO friends?

They upset me almost as much as rethugians. I know rethugs are brainwashed, uninformed, greedy, and ignorant but to have a so-called democratic friend question something I send puts me thru the roof. He wrote back: "If this were true, why isn't it in the news?" Never has watched msnbc either. Still claims to be a dem.

These "see no, hear no evil" people remind me of Barbara Bush:

But why should we hear about body bags and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or that or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that, and watch him (her husband, former president George H. W. Bush) suffer?

could be considered as DINO. They just don't comprehend what is going on in the world ... maybe too self-centered.

Self-centered! Makes me wonder why they call themselves Dems.

What I sent was a Twitter thread about the gross mistreatment of kids at the border.

So, after his reply, I retaliated and sent him a .gov link report about conditions at the border and this from a Daily Kos diary that was posted here, which included the following:

"I feel responsible to try to stop bad things from happening to people.”
...
After a few more elucidating exchanges, she said, “The only things that eat at me are things I need to do to keep things in order around me. Like cleaning, work responsibilities, and appointments being set. Things around the house. Daily stuff.”


That's our friends in a nutshell - you can eat off their floors...including garage floor!! Never in my life have I seen a garage so spic-'n-span clean! They're certainly not gonna trouble their *beautuful* minds.
