Just gotta say here!

I keep reading the DEMS. bring knives to a gun fight BUT man look what we are up against, The RETHUGS are the dirtiest i've EVER seen! They have NO FUCKING RULES to abide by because they OWN EVERYTHING when it comes to hearings. They have us by the ass at this time. I'm not smart enough to know what they (the DEMS.) could different, BUT some of the SMARTER ones here have NOT lost there faith, so I won't either! We knew it would be a tough road and it is! I do wish we had more power BUT This is so unheard of, what's happening now. I REALLY REALLY believe when NY state gets rolling the RETHUGS will get theirs! I say it's EASY TO WIN when EVERYTHING is in your favor. (because they CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT). I hear of INHERENT subpoena and i myself wonder at times why it's not used BUT i leave it up to the DEMS. that know. Would like to hear more about it from some here that know the ins and outs of using it!

2. Watching Lewandowski today

Is a good way to see the way things are in our country. Being able to see them in action is a priceless way to educate the public. And for many reasons. One, it’s all on video and can be played again and again. Two, seeing is believing. Three, it’s history in living color, and wait till historians and documentary makers string a lot of different people abusing the hearings. The Republicans are going down in history for what they are.

An example is the history of the Holocaust. I learned about it from my parents, but never heard anything about in school or college. I educated myself by reading books about it and my son first heard about it from me. His generation didn’t have a clue thanks to our American education system.

Now, because videos were taken at the time it happened in WWII because the Germans loved to document their atrocities and because the Russians and Americans filmed the concentration camps when they found them, quite a few documentaries have been made. They are easily available to everyone who has Netflix. Dozens of them, even about all aspects of Hitler’s Nazis. I’m sure there are plenty of history teachers in high schools and college using them. The public almost forgot, but it was all filmed so we can learn everything again. It all needs to be remembered.

It’s important to remember Trump too. Long after he’s dead and gone.

but they haven’t won yet. And the effect on the public of the hearings hasn’t happened yet.

while Democrats insist on using Marquess of Queensberry rules which causes Republicans to laugh in contempt.

But we can comfort ourselves that we are so noble that we must follow the rules.
