A climate in which a substantial fraction of the population is willing to forgive a politician who is doing his level best to gaslight us. --Bob

Not gonna happen as long as Donny continues to take a wrecking ball to our democracy with the assistance of a Congressional majority more interested in keeping their jobs than in defending our country from a foreign attack, backed by a party that has succumbed to a cult of personality. --Bob

We are not a democracy. If we were a democracy, we would have reverted to a totalitarian dictatorship a long time ago. And we would probably be several smaller countries that are constantly at war with one another. Thank God our Founders did not give us a Democracy. Franklin said they gave us a Republic, if we can keep it. YOUR party is doing everything it can to get rid of it.

I could have said exactly the same thing about the Obama administration. And I did, but without your hysteria. Trump is continuing the stupid, unconstitutional precedents that Obama established, but with a different ideology driving it. I told you then, when you applauded him for going around Congress, that you would not like it when someone uses the same methods to implement policies you do NOT agree with. At least trump has tried to get Congress to do their job. With DACA, with immigration, with healthcare, etc. Giving them deadlines to do something about all three of those issues, plus others. But Congress is more interested in playing political games than doing their jobs.

You, especially, need to see someone about your acute case of TDS.

Very well. We do not have a democracy that Trump is actively destroying. We have a REPUBLIC that Trump is actively destroying. Is that better?

I met them backstage in S.F. at the Great American Music Hall. I'm pretty sure they were doing heroin. :roll:

You do know who was Joey Bishop's side-kick on his late-night talk show don't you - which helps make the clip a tad on-topic....
