    WWhile I don't think rape is used t o punish innocent men, ASSAULT ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS used to punish innocent men. I know for a fact. A woman called police on me, and said I hit her. Turns out, she hit me, I grabbed her wrists, as I saw stars. They started moving towards her, and I said, I DONT WANT HER HARMED IN ANY WAY. She is moving out, and that will be that. They told me, MOVE OUT NOW, Next time we come out, you are going away in handcuffs.

    Due process is CRUCIAL in abuse and assault cases.

    That is their strategy, for now. If Trump is unable to run again (he is 72 and obese), or he chooses to call it quits, Democrats might find themselves without a viable strategy. They are a uncomfortable coalition of martyrs animated by their personal grievances. How do they resolve their differences?

    Our economic problems are caused by our collective unwillingess to postpone personal gratification. Why are we borrowing to "invest" in housing and motor vehicles instead of stocks and bonds? Instead of building our economy by investing in supply-side infrastructure (as opposed to building stadiums and the like), fixing K-12 education, getting the greedy mitts off healthcare, seriously dealing with illegal immigration, we're focusing on "issues" like security clearances, Omarosa, and standing for the national anthem.

    Is either party serious about dealing with real issues?
    National Democrats should be happier than pigs in slop to get the guy off the national stage.

    You appear to be someone who accepts pols' claims when they're convenient and reject them when they aren't.
    STRAW MAN ALERT!

    Real commies favor collectivizing production because they know they have to take away the capitalists' power. As I said, I see no evidence Jones, Sanders, et al are socialists. What are they? Redistributionists.

    Me too, and saying that he did "grab 'em by the pussay" is an admission. However, I had an ex-girlfriend who falsely accused me of
    punching her in the face and she even put makeup on to cover a spot on her face to show proof. Nobody believed her. I believe that Ellison was accused by an ex-girlfriend so I am a little skeptical. Who knows?

    The "pols" are identifying who they are. Don't blame me if want to mask how they are identifying. If you don't think Jones is a real communist, your problem is with him, not me.

    No, they aren't--they're bloviating for their own reasons. I don't believe Trump supports totally free trade or Sanders is a socialist. I think it's useful to examine why pols make their claims.

    Okay, so here's where I'm at regarding POTUS Trump: If he did ever actually assault a woman, he's heinous and repulsive and definitely not worthy of remaining in office. One would think it'd be easier to prove this than the other things but apparently not. That said, it hasn't been definitively proven so I kind of shrug it off. Because while it's not "locker room talk", it's not the most offensive thing men would say sexually. I mean, watch these porn videos. The dirty talk can get nasty in them lol.

    Well you are free to examine why Van Jones claims to be a communist even though you insist he isn't.

    So are you. If you want to understand what Jones was, and perhaps is, about...

    The difference is, if Jones claims he's a communist, I accept that he's a communist. I'm not trying to come up with some crazy rationalization on why he is anything except a communist. You're the one who think's he's lying, so good luck in your investigation.

    From an address before the Center for American Progress on Nov. 19, 2008 (well before Jones was brought into the Obama administration):

    "Everything that is good for the environment, everything that's needed to beat global warming, is a job," Jones said. "Solar panels don't manufacture themselves. Wind turbines don't manufacture themselves. Homes don't weatherize themselves. Every single thing that we need to beat global warming will also beat the recession. And the challenge is, how do we get the government to be a smart, and limited, catalyst in getting the private sector to take on this challenge?"

    That doesn't sound Marxist to me.
    Glenn Beck should have said that Jones used to be a communist. Instead, he said that Jones IS a communist. The reality is that
    young, inexperienced people may well take the simplistic approach since they have little knowledge.

    Uh-huh.


    Jones was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. STORM worked with known communist leaders.



    …while Jones was observing the first large rally since the lifting of the city’s state of emergency [during the Rodney King riots], he got swept up in mass arrests. It was a turning point in his life.

    Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there. But in jail, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.

    In 1994, the young activists formed a socialist collective, Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM, which held study groups on the theories of Marx and Lenin and dreamed of a multiracial socialist utopia. They protested police brutality and got arrested for crashing through police barricades.

    “I realized that there are a lot of people who are capitalists — shudder, shudder — who are really committed to…”

    His new philosophy emphasizes effectiveness, which he believes is inextricably tied to unity. He still considers himself a revolutionary, just a more effective one, who has realized that the progressive left’s insistence on remaining a counterculture destroys its potential as a political movement.

    That's a lot to hope for.....if Trump wont run. The Demos know he is running for re-election. Trump has been pulling in money for that already. Trump wont throw in the towel. Nothing is going to come from Mueller to remove Trump.

    The Demos are going to do like the Repubs and have like 10-12 running for the Presidency.

    Good lets hope they keep going without a viable strategy. Pretty much all that is left is relying on the Lame Stream media to help give them cover while they try and recover. Resolve their differences.....lets not make it easy for them now.

    In order to solve problems.....first one must get rid of the obstacle that prevents any opportunity to have a chance to solve those problems. Starts there, once the Demo Party is no more. Then the Country will be able to move forward and get some of those problems solved.

    The Demos need to just accept the fact that Trump will be a 2 Term President. Trump is their Bane. While they focus the collective on all things Trump. They wont have time to worry about what Repub comes after him other than hoping they will have the House or Senate to obstruct and keep the stagnation going.

    Exactly. He was a communist, and he has discovered another way to make the world go round. Why keep pounding away? It is ok
    to move in a different direction as you mature.

    You may have nailed it. Of course its okay if leftist men abuse women but that's only because it's best for the party - and the party always comes first.

    Hard to believe that the last classy politician to come out of Minnesota was Jesse Ventura.
