You know how it works in DC. Like em one day hate em the next. Most Republicans liked Paul Ryan until he became speaker and failed to act on the wall funding and repeal of ObummerCare.. My guess is that is what the President did not like as well.

Great-great grandfather and his brothers, along with others from a different tree branch, were CSA soldiers so it wouldn't faze me if NBF were kin folk. Whatever their personal beliefs were at that time, they stood up for them. They all walked the walk, so to speak, just like my ancestors that fought to liberate us from the British.

Times were very different then so who am I, in current times with the benefit of hindsight, to try and pass judgement on what was in the their minds and hearts? Judge not, right?

My issue isn't really if he has a day or not, although I don't really have a problem that he has one. How many families had picnics in celebration? How many parades were held in his honor today? How many people had no clue it was anything other than just Saturday before the tweets of Cruz trying to seem woke and earn brownie points? It's been pretty much a non issue for decades.

My problem stems from the systematic attacks of the Democrats on southern heritage and southern symbolism in a thinly veiled attempt to hide their own complicity in those historical events. The hypocrisy knows no bounds. My issue is reviling confederates for their beliefs in the 1860's yet making an honored icon out of a man holding the same beliefs in the 1960's. A man that would have been as giddy as a kid on Christmas morning to have owned himself a few slaves. Tear down statues of confederates, his still stand. Change building names, his still stand. It's hypocritical at its very core since to attack Byrd would shine a light on the very past they are trying to obscure from those they pander to.

Paul Ryan was a complete failure as a Speaker post 2016. He was actually pretty successful obstructing. His career will be remembered as a guy who could not get any form of medical through.

Blackout gives New York's governor opportunity to blast New York City's absentee mayor

America's Liberal Mayor Flops Again:
One consequence of New York City's Saturday night blackout: It shined a bright spotlight on the tensions between two prominent Democrats, the city's mayor and the state's governor.

As more than 70,000 customers -- plus countless tourists and other visitors -- dealt with the loss of electricity attributed to a transformer fire, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomoblasted New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was in Iowa campaigning for president when the massive blackout hit Manhattan.

“I can count the number of times I leave the state basically on my fingers,” Cuomo told CNN, responding to a question about the importance of the mayor being in New York during an emergency.

Gillibrand says she has 'experienced enormous amounts of white privilege' and is 'certain' it gave her a boost in her career: 'I have benefited because of my whiteness'

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand says she has benefited from her 'whiteness,' including in her professional career.

Gillibrand said that 'as a white woman' she has 'certainly experienced enormous amounts of white privilege' as she spoke at presidential forum.

She spoke repeatedly of a black staffer who's her traveling companion on the campaign trail. She the aide is treated differently than she is at hotels and restaurants.

'There is a deference that is given to whiteness in society today. And, you see it all the time,' she told DailyMail.com after her remarks.

She said, 'I travel with a woman who's black, I watch how she's treated when we walk into a hotel room, into a hotel to check in. I watch how she's treated in a restaurant. I watch how whether the person who's taking her order listens to her order and gets it right.

'I've sat with black Americans, and they're literally not listened to,' she continued.

Gillibrand provided additional examples of how those around her have been discriminated against in a variety of circumstances and told DailyMail.com that she had 'absolutely' benefited from her whiteness in her career in a number of ways that she believes it's her responsibility as a senator and presidential candidate to rectify.

I think she’s confused. She should confer with Kamala to find out what, if anything, has afforded her any privilege.

If Pence is comparable to Himmler why does she want Trump impeached ? The way some of these people think is really fascinating .

Thinking they can just put a Democrat in Office once Trump or Pence is removed shows real life stupidity.
This will be a total failure in the making. They (both political parties) need to concentrate on the real hard-core problems America faces and solve those before anything else. But NO >>>let's unseat a duly-elected President bc he says mean things and hurts my little bitty 3 year old girly feelings.

‘NOT A TYPO’: Democrat Poll Shows What Voters Think Of Omar, Ocasio-Cortez

A new internal Democrat poll in swing districts released on Sunday showed that socialist Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are extremely unpopular and that they may cost the Democratic Party the presidency and the House in 2020.

"Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll; 22% had a favorable view," Axios reported. "Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — another member of The Squad — was recognized by 53% of the voters; 9% (not a typo) had a favorable view."

"Socialism was viewed favorably by 18% of the voters and unfavorably by 69%," Axios added, whereas "capitalism was 56% favorable; 32% unfavorable."

The firm that conducted the poll gave the results to Axios on the condition that it not be named because it works "with all parts of the party."

A top Democrat involved in the 2020 congressional races told Axios: "If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk. he's getting all the news and defining everyone else’s races. Socialism is toxic to these voters."

Poll: Megan Rapinoe Beats Trump in Hypothetical Presidential Race

A recent poll from Public Policy Polling, showed U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) co-captain Megan Rapinoe defeating President Trump in a hypothetical 2020 presidential matchup.

“By popular demand,” the group exclaimed on its announcement, “PPP tested how a Megan Rapinoe v. Donald Trump 2020 match-up would shake out, and we found that Rapinoe gets 42% to 41% for Trump.”​
