We know very little about Richard.  He’s new and has left less than fifty comments here.  He very rarely, if ever has talked about himself.

He is a denizen of Care2, and you’ll find his profile almost naked, but I was able to glean his favorite quotes from it.

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power,

the world will know peace.”

~ Jimi Hendrix ~ 

 

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

~ Martin Luther King Jr.~

 

"Do all the good you can,

By all the means you can,

In all the ways you can,

In all the places you can,

At all the times you can

To all the people you can

As long as ever you can!"

~ John Wesley ~

 

“Compassion for animals is intimately associated with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.”

~ Arthur Schopenhauer ~

He seems to be a very nice guy and I hope that, when he wins his next Big Mouth Award, we will know him better.

Please join me in loading him up with praise, because he does…

The economy directly effects the social issues…so I picked both equally.

I picked the center line.

Always subject to change if Twitler sticks w/ ramping up his idiotic Trade War w/ China and the economy tanks because of it.

Trick question. Social and economic issues are so intertwined that one cannot be truly addressed without the other. Republicans here in the US have been conning us for decades if not centuries trying to convince us that one is more important than the other, ‘Tain’t so.

I went with Lona, economic issues are rising in importance but that’s due to the bungling of Trump more than real issues with our economy and can be handled. What we are truly struggling with are social issues of every king with racism leading the list. Those we MUST deal with and they will decide the 2018 and 2020 elections, in my opinion.

I voted "more social and less economic issues" because I believe important economic issues such as poverty and the ever widening gap between the 1% and the rest are social issues in core. Even climate change is a social issue and can only be battled in a serious way with equality and shared responsibility.

Wow! at this point every vote agrees with mine.

At this point, with embargoes creating embargoes, tDump yelling thing about no DACA, and the right wing-nuts trying to demean the kids from Parkland, I think the Dems will do best with a message that revolves around economic and social inclusion.

I voted more economic and less social issues.  While I agree that social and economic issues are equally important, I recognize that is a progressive view, and we progressives are a minority of voters.  The majority are less concerned with politics and tend to vote their pocketbooks and wallets.  Concentrating more on economic issues, without forgetting social issues, and supporting each other’s issues will help attract these voters.

The new poll is up.

VOTE!

Impeach and convict

Voted I have no idea, because it will probably depend on how deep the

is that Mueller finds, and which way the rethugs think will come closest to saving their asses. Hopefully, they won’t find any way TO save them.

I voted "No Idea" – but that’s because I think it’s almost a trick question.

Recalling the uproar Comey created by re-opening the Hillary email boondoggle just days before the election, it wouldn’t surprise me if Mueller holds off any announcement until after the 2018 election.

And since the new Congress (now controlled by Democrats in BOTH chambers) is not seated until noon on the 3rd day of January, 2019 – it impeachment will not occur "this year".

BUT I also think it’s quite possible that Trump will be so certifiably CRAZY that Mueller will act soon and with dispatch to quite literally save our nation and Constitution.

And yes, I think that Trump is under so much pressure he may actually go off the deep-end and pull a Queeg scenario just like in "Caine Mutiny".

It’s THAT BAD now.

I have NO idea. The repukkklican have no guts and will probably stay with this crazy bunch until the wheels fall off! But you can never tell about them.

Am voting have no idea because so much depends on what Mueller finds. I read this morning that some on the Republican side, have suddenly realized that Mueller have EVIDENCE of Americans who were complicit in working with those 13 indicted Russians. From other things I’ve read, those could include McConnell, Ryan and others high up in the party chain. If that’s true, that changes the whole matter and we have a constitutional crisis on our hands because if convicted in a criminal trial, i don’t think any of them, Trump/Pence included could continue to hold office. That throws the whole government into disarray that will need be resolved by the Supreme Court – somehow, with no actual precedent. It is going to be an extremely interesting 18-24 months I think.

TRUMPY’S day is coming!

I agree with Lona

TURTLEMAN is looking more Crappy Faced every day!

Get them all!

Standing with Drumpf is like most of the things the GOP are paid to stand behind; climate change denial or tax cuts to enrich the rich, their greed and stupidity prohibits them from seeing the consequences let alone acknowledge they have past a point of no return. They will doggedly continue to destroy the country and ultimately themselves. They’ll follow their Führer into his bunker.

I believe that the GOPIGS will just double down, will more loudly insist that it’s all nothing but a politically motivated scam. Faux News will spontaneously combust, as Hannity and ilk try to outdo one another with inflamatory oratory.

I have no clue how republicans think once you get over their selfishness, greed, fear, and lying

I voted with the majority.  A few will make noise, but they love the way Trump keeps attention focused on his antics, leaving them free to pillage the country at will.
