"[Trump supporters] cannot say, ’Oh, I’m just supporting him because he’s giving them hell in Washington, D.C. No, he’s been openly racist, just like we said back in December of 2015, openly racist. If you support him, then you’re supporting that, and you are that. It’s that simple."--MSNBC host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough
"Donald Trump is the most powerless President we have ever seen and nothing can change that because it is who he is. He is a weak President because he is a weak person."--Lawrence O'Donnell on The Last Word, March 24, 2017
“You may have heard Governor Bush say last week that Americans just need to work longer hours. He must not have met very many American workers.
Let him tell that to the nurse who stands on her feet all day, or the teacher who is in that classroom, or the trucker who drives all night. Let him tell that to the fast food workers marching in the streets for better pay. They don’t need a lecture -- they need a raise!"--Hillary Clinton, July 13, 2015 "Right-wing white men love to tell minorities they should be be less violent, as they bomb countries that didn't attack us and wantonly kill thousands and thousands of people."--comment by anon004 in response to racist tirade from Joe Scarborough about the Michael Brown case on MSNBC

The Republican vision is clear: "I've got mine, the rest of you are on your own." Republicans say they don't believe in government. Sure they do. They believe in government to help themselves and their powerful friends. After all, Mitt Romney's the guy who said corporations are people. No, Governor Romney, corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters. That matters because we don't run this country for corporations, we run it for people.--Elizabeth Warren, 2012 Democratic National Convention Here's a nicely done satirical song about Citizens United from one of the best--if not THE best--musical satirists around today, Roy Zimmerman. Pay him a visit at his web site and "like" him on facebook (he likes you, too). |
