Welcome to Thunderdome

Yeah, saw that. Goddamn, I despise her. She needs to leave.

I bet it's just "You people are deplorables" except slower and louder, figuring people didn't understand it the first time.

Dem IT guy arrested trying to flee the country.

I'm sure tax payers will get back the MILLIONS he made in the few years he was advising, and double charging, Dems.

I'd bet a dollar he's/she's being railroaded.

I'm thinking right now if the Democrats went moderate, they'd destroy the GOP. I don't see them getting out of their own way though.

What the hell is Nancy Pelosi thinking?

Says winning midterm elections is "unimportant".

So if you vote Democrat, don't bother voting. Pelosi doesn't need your vote.

Warren says reject the center and move left.

So ignore everyone on the left and in the center because "we're the party for the people".

I can't imagine more fertile ground for a third party yet I also can't imagine a third party making a dent if last time didn't do it.

They will not allow a third party to break their stranglehold on the system. Look at how the Tea Party got maligned, that was the last, best chance.

They let the psychos in.

Everybody has psychos. The two parties pretended it was something unique. The media understood that message loud and clear and propogated. People believed it.

Two party system status: secure.

Exactly.

How is Elizabeth Warren's message of "abandon the middle" any different from the psychos on the right or in the extremist groups? How is Hillary's resistance group not a group based upon hate and taking advantage of people's fear? How is making "conservative" a bad word, encouraging people to no longer socialize with people who don't vote D, blacklisting folks who have different views, etc. not the same as the lunatic "alt right" people?

If we keep squabbling between tribes, we won't notice how badly they fuck us over to keep their privileged position. Nope.... People have to signal their virtue on both sides, and that makes the other side evil, stupid scum. There is absolutely no peaceful fix for.it at the his point.

Pelosi gets shouted off stage by illegal immigrants.

They're not happy about ANY deal on DACA. They want to come here and remain here illegally. No compromise. End of story.

Michelle Obama thinks white men are the problem.

Mrs. Obama said she noticed the stark contrast in diversity and “color” between the two parties every time she attended the State of the Union address while her husband was office.

To be fair to the GOP, your husband's party has been running a smear campaign against them since forever. Why would anyone who buys into said campaign want to become a Republican?

“Because on one side, all men, all white,” she scoffed. “On the other side, some women and some people of color. … I looked at that and thought, ‘No wonder we struggle. No wonder people don’t trust politics. We’re not even noticing what these rooms look like.’”

Yeah, that's why people don't trust politics, "white men". I'm sure it has nothing to do with the constant stream of taxes, the policies that screw people out of jobs, the partisan bickering, the removal of freedoms and rights, the lies, the claims that islands can tip over if too many people go to one side, the lobbyists, the corruption, etc.

No, it's the old crackers.

Now being fair to her, I understand the point she was getting at, but she needs to improve the delivery.

Mrs. Obama said women and minorities will probably “continue to struggle” unless there’s a major shakeup in Congress and more white men become willing to give up their seats.

This part I don't care for, and I think it does show some ignorance on her part. It implies whitey needs to get out of the way and hand seats to minorities and women. In fact, her whole message screams that, which is interesting considering these people win elections for these seats.

So she's blaming the old white men in office, yet not the diverse group of people electing them?

In spite of owning the PR department (the media), the left is quickly dying.

According to these guys.

What we are experiencing, far from a deadly revolutionary upsurge threatening everything of value, is a historically unique situation where, for the first time on record, a leftist movement is in complete and accelerating collapse within a democratic polity. The upcoming people’s revolt is simply another symptom of this.

The Democrats, America’s de facto leftist party (note how a sworn socialist, Bernie Sanders, is effectively exercising leadership of the party without anyone so much as blinking) have lost over 1,000 offices nationwide in the past year. The GOP controls nearly two-thirds of all governorships and nearly half of state governments. The left’s political presence and influence is negligible across vast areas of the heartland. They have abandoned the working class, the bedrock of any leftist movement, in favor of representing transsexuals, ball club millionaires, and noncitizen criminals, not a strategy with much of a future, on the face of it.

Former Dem star, Corrine Brown, is headed to jail for fraud.

Wouldn't it be awesome if politicians were treated like cops and judges in that if they're caught doing shit like this ALL of their cases, in this case votes/bills/panels/etc., become suspect and are re-investigated? Yeah, I know that's crazy unrealistic, but there's more we could do to prevent corruption. Things that could hover over their heads permanently.

Dems fighting to stop logic and common sense from winning an election.

Even CNN led the story with the obvious answer.
