Yesterday on the floor of the Senate, disabled Iraq War veteran Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth (Lt. Col. USA retired) delivered what may be the best slapdown of coward and demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump over his lying, cynical statement regarding harm to the military under the #TrumpShutdown. Rump and the Rethugs are pulling out all the stops to shift blame for their shutdown fiasco to Dems, and Sen. Duckworth, for one, won't have it. She's an example of why we need more strong Democratic women in Congress starting in 2018.

Sen. Duckworth also gave us a priceless nickname for Rump: "Cadet Bone Spurs."

I love that Tammy Duckworth called Trump out. I've been very pleased to see more and more Democratic party leaders speaking out and calling Trump as s liar and racist. I read a lot of political blogs and I'm also happy to see more readers posting every day about the liars and cheats in the White House.
Every time The Republicans tell lies, make racist statements, work against the greater good, we need to make a stand. And no greater stand can be made anywhere than at the voting booth. My family walked neighborhoods to rally votes for Hillary, and we'll walk again for the Democrat who runs against Trump. There are countless battles on every front, from voter suppression to pay equity to decent immigration policies...everything matters.
The mass marches Saturday prove that we are not going to be silenced. We have to fight and we have to win, because what's at stake is our democracy and human dignity.
donnah - So well said. We hope the passion and commitment to action that you've expressed will be shared by more and more as we work to defeat Trump and his party. Thank you for commenting.
I just found your blog! I love it, and I intend to check in often. You have excellent analysis, thoughtful commentary, and a sense of humor here. It's great!
Thank you, donnah, and welcome. Nice to have you come by as often as you like.
