You HAVE to hear what Jennifer Siebel Newsom just said about Trump

Jennifer Siebel Newsom: I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader. He is a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist, and the worst president in our nation's history.

Exactly. Democrats naturally speak in riddles and suggestions. We need to speak the plan truth without any inhibitions or hedging.

Every Dem at every level should be looking for microphones, cameras, podcasts, rallies and any other opportunities to get in front of the American people and lead. And Every Dem should be praising and partnering with the ones who are already out there, like the Newsoms, Pritzker, AOC, Jasmine, Bernie and the others.

Don't pull any punches.

of this is the situation with the destruction of the boats off the coast of Venezuela. Too often I hear Dems, the media and others describe these actions as "extra judicial" killings, or military strikes of suspected drug smugglers and other benign terms.

We need to call this what this is -- murder. By definition that's what it is, and we need to call it that every time it happens and stop sugarcoating it.

Love his bit about how straight forward language morphs into such ridiculous terms:

Shellshock —> Battle Fatigue —> Operational Exhaustion —> Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I wonder how we went from:

Murder —>…—> Extra-Judicial Killing

Glad they are speaking up, too many decades we have let this go on trying to be polite and have respect for all political offices. But when they all treat the constitution and laws like garbage we have to speak up loud and clearly.

I'm glad someone is finally calling that bloated POS a "con artist." Because, that's what he is: The biggest fucking con man in this county's history.
