We are former senators. The Senate has long stood in defense of democracy — and must again.
WaPo ^ | 12/10/18 | 44 reprobates

We are former senators. The Senate has long stood in defense of democracy — and must again.

"During our service in the Senate, at times we were allies and at other times opponents, but never enemies. We all took an oath swearing allegiance to the Constitution. Whatever united or divided us, we did not veer from our unwavering and shared commitment to placing our country, democracy and national interest above all else."

Using this deceptive title, 44 anti Trump, anti-Wall, anti-border security have put their names to an editorial designed to harm our nation and support establishment power over the people.

Liberal propaganda like this should be ignored.

It’s like a bunch of rich people condemning “new money”.

He’s not one of them and they hate that. But what we needed was a non-politician. And it is paying off in spades.

44 of the very people who were primary drivers in creating the situation where American voters elected Trump. Look in the mirror, jackwagons.

I read the list. I’m shocked, very shocked. Or maybe not.

“Former” being the keyword.

Former turds, all. Name one in that bunch who’d be worth tossing a rope to if he was drowning...

Once you get past the fact that at least 63 million American’s think these people are traitorous scum of the earth, you should become painfully aware of the egos and narcissism that flows through the veins of all of them, past-present and future. They actually think anyone, other than their ilk, gives a sh*t what they think. No different than when all the former Intel people write an editorial about the guy. Gee, are we supposed to grab our pitchforks and torches because of what they said? If anything, not one of them have been proven to be worth a damn in the last few decades, so who gives a rats ass what any of them have to say.

Yes, yes, yes. We know where you stand in defense of mob rule.

The real question is where do you stand when it comes time to defend our Republic?

The real answer lies with all your actions taken to replace our Republic with your beloved mobocracy.

"44 former senators join forces to bash Trump"

That proves that President Trump is on the Side of the Angels--and vice versa.

Anyone who makes a public statement proclaiming the importance of the U.S. Senate as a "great governing body" is an @sshole with no credibility.

Every one of the signatories of this letter served a huge chunk of their careers in the U.S. Senate with a bloated, drunken slob from Massachusetts who got away with killing a woman. I wonder when they signed a similar letter calling for that guy to be removed from their "esteemed, deliberative Senate."

They can all go f#ck themselves. When I think of all the reasons why I voted for Donald Trump, I can now add these 44 sh!tbags to that list.

All but nine are Democrats. And of the nine, some are Republicans who worked for Obama.

Silent over all of the naked Communists and unaccountable czars in Obama’s administration.

Will anyone in the ‘news’ media ask each of them to renounce support for violence in their efforts?

Blanche Lincoln was a democrat senator from Arkansas that was blasted out of the senate in 2010 receiving only 37% of the vote.

She's since stayed in DC hopping from one consulting firm to another...
