Good that you know when you are out of your depth. You will need to ignore quite a bit if you hope to maintain your pitiful bubble. It’s all because you have thrown in with scoundrels and betrayed what brought any goodness to your own life.

I had to go through several menus to even find the Iggy function.  I just skip posts that don't interest me....which category most of Kids posts fall into.   Red I read,  because he will on occasion develop a real line of argument.   And Red can read more than 280 characters without brain exhaustion.  I know that's faint praise,  but that's all I've got.

Heh. You use that after your previous post? Not only are you a hypocrite, you're a moron too.

True, Bill

Not the party of Trump at all.  Much more to it than that.

It’s funny when most of the candidates running know their constituents would prefer that trump drown in the Potomac river than continue to infest the White House. It’s a clear sign of a weak president.

Interesting discussion as to whether the Republican Party is more than Trump. If the President was somebody other than Trump, even a "normal" Republican, I might be inclined to vote for the incumbent Republican governor in Maryland. But alas, I view Trump as the head of the party and Governor Hogan will have to do without my vote. I recognize that most don't think the way I do and if Hogan gets less than 60% I'll be surprised.

kid is hoping to get measured for a tailored brown shirt...

Careful now, Godwin.

Godwin says calling Nazis Nazis is okay.

Kid is no more a Nazi than you are a communist.

Besides, such flippant references and the casual use of the term diminish the abhorent horror perpetrated by the real Nazis.

As a Jew, you should know better than that.

End of lecture.

I have no idea what Kiid does away from here.

I know he actively supports a white nationalist antisemite. I know that he denies the racist is a racist.

So, he might not be a Nazi - I was responding to the Godwin comment more than the Nazi comment:
Quote
By all means, compare these shitheads to Nazis. Again and again. I'm with you.
or
Quote
In December 2015, Godwin commented on the Nazi and fascist comparisons being made by several articles on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying: "If you're thoughtful about it and show some real awareness of history, go ahead and refer to Hitler when you talk about Trump, or any other politician."

Don't cite Godwin if you don't want Godwin's opinion on the use of Nazis to describe these folks.

Just in case Trump had not already illustrated his obstruction of Justice, he decided to double down on it:

Quote
In a subsequent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump made that crystal clear, saying he had to move against Brennan and others he holds responsible for the Russia probe.



“I call it the rigged witch hunt, [it] is a sham,” Mr. Trump said in an interview. “And these people led it!”

He added: “So I think it’s something that had to be done.”

Trump then pointed to other investigators who worked on the Russia probe and the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

“You look at any of them and you see the things they’ve done,” Trump said. “In some cases, they’ve lied before Congress. The Hillary Clinton whole investigation was a total sham.”

He went on to suggest he’s reviewing the security clearance of other critics — James Clapper, James Comey, Michael Hayden, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr — simply because he’s decided that they’re bad people.

“I don’t trust many of those people on that list,” Trump said. “I think that they’re very duplicitous. I think they’re not good people.”

Nah, interfering with the investigation or threatening witnesses couldn't qualify as Obstruction of Justice, could it?!

I look forward to reading the defense of this conduct from our legal experts.

Pretty much. Hogan has the Democratic leaders in the MD legislature on his side.

He's seemingly the kind of Republican I've voted for in the past ( maybe he has to be in Maryland). But not this time; no way.
