Trump is truly a real estate master. He owns all the space in Democrat heads.

Quote:Mr. ESPAILLAT (for himself, Mr. TED LIEU of California, and Mr. LEWIS of Georgia) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

Why is John Lewis such a dumbas$?

Quote:Whereas the United States is a democracy

wrong.

Quote:Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—

(1) it is Congress’ duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States and all of the fundamental rights, including the freedom of the press;

(2) the President must immediately acknowledge his support of the First Amendment and express his support for United States democracy;

(3) the United States should continue being a democracy, not an autocracy;

(4) White House spokespersons should not issue fake news; and

(5) White House spokespersons who offer alternative or inaccurate facts should retract their statements immediately.

It's sad that these idiots...

1. Think US is a Democracy.
2. Claim to support free speech here but seek to limit what the administration can say. They go further than that in I'm trying to force Trump to make a statement.
3. Think freedom of the press entitles all press to sit in for Q&A.

1. the US is a democracy. it's pathetic that you don't know this and claim that you are right.

2. I still don't get why cons take so much pride in this (flawed assumption) being true. that's as fascist as it gets.

We are not a direct democracy, we are a representative democracy and a constitutional republic. At least that is what John Adams and John Marshall wrote. They could be wrong though.

No I clearly had more education on this topic than you ever did. the terms republic and democracy are not mutually exclusive. this entire attitude that the US is not a democracy rests on that one flawed assumption.

Civics... Learn it..

The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications for minority rights. Both forms of government tend to use a representational system — i.e., citizens vote to elect politicians to represent their interests and form the government. In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters.

Democracy is mob rule, with no set rights... Realizing our founders were wiser than that is something to take pride in.

If you don't see the irony in you calling us "a democracy" 2 months after instilling a president who did not win the popular vote, well.... I don't think Obama or Trump care can cure that kind of stupid...

you got to hand it to John. When he decided to go run face first into a wall, he made sure he was wearing his Jordans and had 30 yards to build up maximum speed.
