Any of us who are not angry are not facing the seriousness of the abuses of power and breaking of laws and rules by Trump and Republicans in power. Republicans get elected and implement policies by lying and cheating. Trump has broken countless laws since entering the White House and not a peep has been uttered by Republicans. The replacement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court would not be an issue if Mitch McConnell followed the same rationale that he used in denying Barack Obama’s appointment of a justice during his last year in office. Obama’s replacement was submitted in the 1st quarter of 2016 and not attempted to jammed through the Senate just 3 weeks before election Day.
Republicans are now throwing a fit over the thought that if Joe Biden is elected president and the Democrats gain control of the Senate that Democrats will “pack the court.” This wouldn’t be an issue if the GOP (Greed Only Priority) followed the same rules they have imposed on the Democrats.
There is a strong possibility that Biden will win and the Democrats will gain enough seats to flip the Senate. Americans are fed-up with Trump’s behavior, endless lies, hate-filled diatribes and failed policies. They are equally disgusted by Republicans in Congress enabling Trump by refusing to call him on the harm he has caused.
Republicans realize that this election could be a bloodbath for them. Rather than breaking with Trump and repositioning their party platform they are already planning on how to make sure that Joe Biden fails if he becomes president. The well-being of Americans isn’t important to them.
Whatta stone waste of white! Listen, this is what happens when you clone defective stem cells and allow them to grow. She must babysit Rick Santorum's collection of bottled feti. PAINsylvania is really trying hard to become Transylvania, but I'd still choose Count Alucard over the orange turd anyday! BIDEN/HARRIS 2020!
Listening to Laurie say “you are a very angry” man was nonsense and she had an ulterior motive. The problem was she was too incompetent to execute it.
I’m proud of being angry right there with you Michelangelo. I’m proud of being frustrated over the blatant disrespect and disenfranchisement of Americans by Trump and the dishonest, cheating GOP. It means we care about our country and our fellow Americans. It means we know we’re all in this together, and it’s not just “oh I got mine so screw everyone else.”
If you’re not angry, frustrated or deeply concerned about the current trajectory of this country then you’re part of the problem.
At least she didn't call you a gay snowflake. I can't wait till a blue thunder blizzard wipes out complete GOP control of Washington and we can restore sanity.
What do you think about these Governors and Romney who say they won't vote for Trump but can't come up with the spine to bitch slap their own cult enabling party? Hogan is righting in Regan. Wish Regan's son would do a public service announcement saying his father would have voted for Biden and would have had nothing to do with the likes of Trump or a party that enabled him, and you should too!
Typical- calling the kettle black projection that is the Trump Cult hallmark. I’m so sick of these people-my sad rural ancestors-having outsized influence over the direction of our country. They don’t want to be team players & actually work to find modern day solutions to modern day problems. Only burry their lazy spoiled heads in the sand and “pray” for the olden days when tines were good and made easy for them. They had jobs-post war federal social structure and policy to promote a strong middle class. They we’re insulated from the darker (pun intended) Outside forces. They never had to deal w reality of a changing country let alone world. Until they did and it made its way to their abandoned rural doorstep. It’s become a badge of honor or an identity to be exactly what this Women accuses you of. Angry. And that is rooted in her baseline fear of change she has No control of. Trump offers a sense of someone fighting for them and exudes all of the misguided pent up anger and fear & resentment they have been suppressing while the world evolved w out them. And just like Trump no solutions just emotional tantrums. I grew up in rural western PA in 60’s & 70’s and was surrounded by this mythical “forgotten man” *insert white & privileged mid and lower mid class working Americans. They were sold a bill of goods to allow jobs outsourced and told to blame “the others” instead of those profiting from that outsourcing.That something better would take its place. Sound familiar? ACA? Nothing did. So they continue to blame others instead of voting for change that could re invent life in rural America. The small town in PA I grew up in is a Trump cult ghost town. It has 2 abandoned glass plants a long an unused railroad that should have been converted to solar panel factory years ago but never was and people have given up. Religion-anger & fear resentment is an easier route to go when you have given up w no leadership showing a path. They have made the wrong choices and were tricked by wall steer- GOP & yes the DEMS too. We all blew it and never protected American Rural workers and here we are. Country slums of dispare. The country as a whole needs to reinvent itself and include manufacturing and local farming again via green new deal for all. DEMS have to lead the way and win back rural Americans w a national agenda for rural to city reform. One big workable co op. Until then these angry afraid people Are our American Taliban. Angry tribes of hopeless people w nothing to do creating chaos and yes blood shed. I’m more sad than angry Laurie caller from pa. DEMS must lead us out of this w national policy once back in control. I don’t see another way. PS: Michael: your anger is productive and informative. And quite frankly a turn on. Balanced w empathy and loads of Needed humor and wit. Never change.
i truly enjoy hearing you handle these callers. you waste no time getting straight to the point and you destroy them if they need it, and they often most certainly do. I appreciate your demeanor and i wish other reporters had a fraction of the outrage and blunt take on this shit show of American politics. This past year or four has been such a nightmare and a huge struggle to comprehend. its all so caustic and it eats away at ones soul. I have always felt better knowing you are still here doing what you have always done. thank you for your clarity and strength.
Michael,
Caller Laurie was a complete fraud. She tried to misrepresent what you said and then, fell back on you “being angry”.
I just love how you calmly correct and called her out. I also appreciate you acknowledging your anger and providing supporting reasons.
Keep up the great work!👍🏿
Mike, you have every right to be angry!
