Shunning them is fine, protest is fine in its place, but they would love to goad us into two black eyes in the public's mind.
Resist. And resist the temptation.

"Petty" vs mass kidnapping... sure I could see how that would be a real tossup for people voting their conscience...

Resist the temptation, indeed.

They deserve to be treated the way they are treating us, with contempt and disdain. They can go hide at Mar-a-Lago.

Stealing an election is wrong
Using your office to enrich yourself is wrong
Lying to the American people is wrong
Undermining the freedom of the press is wrong
Taking babies away from their mothers is wrong
Alienating our closest allies while cozying up to dictators is wrong
Gutting our social safety net to give tax cuts to billionaires is wrong
Selling off our public lands for exploitation is wrong
Refusing to face the press and answer questions for the American people is wrong

And when the president and his administration do what is wrong, is enabled by his party and is not condemned by the other party and refuses to answer questions about it, the American people are voiceless and powerless. Voiceless and powerless people who are increasingly in desperate circumstances will be heard any way that they can be.

Stop being the steam valve for fascism Nancy and focus on the real problem. The administration that is undermining our democracy.

Sometimes the bully just has to get kicked in the b....utt before he gets it. This prez is advocating quieting the free press, doing away with judges or appointing judges who look the other way when some law is broken that the president favors, ignoring the Constitution in many ways. Somebody has to stand up to him and I guess it's Maxine. I don't see anyone else jumping to the defense of the country. It seemed to me she was advocating that people call out the crimes against we the people, not punching them in the face.

then act like it is! Go Maxine! We need backbone of some sort in Congress or it is all over for us!

at every opportunity. The party that takes away and gives America great depressions and great recessions. SHAME!

It worked so well the last time we had a monster in the White House.

Maxine Waters has it right. If you're not angry over the way things are going in this country, check to see if you still have a pulse. Polite discourse is wasted on these sick right-wing shitheads. Get angry, stay angry, and act on that anger---repeat as needed.

no House, no Senate, no White House. I'm with Auntie Maxine.

I just finished the yard work - it was 90 at the start at 8:30a..now 100...to top off at 106....but it's a dry heat..sure it is...but it felt good to release some of my pent up anger.. aaahhhhh - now I think I will have a blueberry muffin...

Well so is my oven and I'm not getting in it. 111 in Vegas tomorrow.

They collapse like a house of cards when confornted. Under all the bluster are a gang of cowards who run away at the first push back.

I'm with Maxine!

But it does harm if an elected official calls for it. That's a mistake. It forced Pelosi to have to issue her own statement.

The harassment must come from the grass roots Americans. I don't think they need more than their own anger, their own awareness of seeing other incidents like it from social media. Because now, anytime this happens again, Hannity and all have their ammunition to scream about how the Democrats in Washington are responsible for instructing their flock to carry out an orchestrated agenda. And then gawd help us if some physical harm, even minor, happens.

unity with those not desiring unity or reconciliation with those not white and KKKristian? Nah won't work. Go Rep. Waters, tell it like it has to be Fuck trump and his whole administration. They are following hitlers/nazis playbook, step by step with modern refinement....

I am tired and dealing with chemo and rad after effects today. I am just fucking up today. Well I've never claimed to be perfect.

Before they decide on ethnic cleansing.

...coffee shop sit-ins were considered very ill-mannered and disruptive back in the day. Perhaps if you framed it that way, you'd be more eager to support those who publicly shame evildoers.

I call out my repube senator and congressman every time I see them or when they post online....and I'll damn well continue to do so...this is why us 'leftist radicals' say the estab dems have no balls...they roll over belly-up like dogs when attacked...treat them the way they treated us during the bush years and under this chickensh*t pissant...you know these deplorables will be keying on Rep. Waters...the only Democrat with cajones...

But we'll unify against these assholes with the same bite. Fuck being nice

and this "civility" thing has worked so well for us.

First Schumer, now this....

And pearl-clutching "who will save us" noble victim posturing won't get people out to vote.

We have one last, faint chance, and it isn't 2020. It's this f'n November. First we expose (GOP Fascist/Corporatists who are willingly Putin's puppies), then we neuter, then we cut the head off.

And if we can't get at least the either the House or Senate back this upcoming year, we've pretty much lost at least a generation, and what might be around when we finally wrest some form of civil governance back from the Oligarchs is not going to look anything like what we had in the past.

Put some flowers in a vase or something...

"In the crucial months ahead, we must strive to make America beautiful again. "

with Maxine!

While we get lectured on dividing the country, Trump uses dog whistles and divisive rhetoric to divide and conquer. It’s sickening.

Call them out every time they cross the line.

Nancy, sit down. We're done with trying to understand, explain, educate, etc. All of those routine, habitual liberal values are on hold until we eradicate the fascists.

We're now in World War US soldiers mode...destroy NAZIS...no discussion.

We'll get to creating the society we want, just like the original US did in 1945, AFTER we're done destroying US Trump Nazism and have public acknowledgement of what occured and an understanding of why it was wrong. THEN we can return to being the tolerant, loving, educating Left.

We're now the FIGHTING LEFT. Get it straight.

I’m not going to unify with human rights violators.

If this is the party the Democrats want to create; I’m out.

Just wait and watch.
