The Democratic Party has been calling for a more civil presidential election — but it looks like nobody relayed that message to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Warren went on an unhinged Twitter rant last evening, calling Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a loser, a bully and a wannabe tyrant.
Warren, a hero to many liberals, has engaged in a war of words with Trump ever since he questioned Warren’s claims that she is a descendant of Native Americans.
While Trump was hardly the first person to raise that issue, he seemed to further stir the pot in a New York Times interview that was published Sunday.
“She’s got about as much Indian blood as I have,” he said.
“Her whole life was based on a fraud,” he added. “She got into Harvard and all that because she said she was a minority.”
That sent Warren into an apparent frenzy Monday, where she tweeted nearly a dozen times in rapid succession.
She called Trump a loser:
Let’s be honest – @realDonaldTrump is a loser. Count all his failed businesses. See how he cheated people w/ scams like Trump U.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) March 21, 2016
Insecure:
.@RealDonaldTrump knows he’s a loser. His insecurities are on parade: petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, flagrant narcissism.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) March 21, 2016
A threat to America:
Many of history’s worst authoritarians started out as losers – and @realDonaldTrump is a serious threat.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) March 21, 2016
Warren apparently thinks comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler is fair game:
.@RealDonaldTrump is “cool with being called an authoritarian,” isn’t upset at Hitler comparisons & thinks we won’t fight back? WRONG!
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) March 21, 2016
And said Trump’s presidential campaign was racist and sexist:
Why is it that @realDonaldTrump can call himself the “unity” candidate while basing his campaign on racism, sexism, xenophobia & hatred?
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) March 21, 2016
Several people chimed in on social media to blast Warren’s attacks on Trump, and to suggest that the language she was using was beneath the dignity of a United States Senator.
Warren can scream all she wants — but the issue of whether she is genuinely Native American is likely to continue dogging her.
During her 2012 election campaign, Warren was criticized after being listed in law school directories as having Native American ancestry.
Trump’s campaign did not immediately provide a response to Warren’s latest remarks.
The exchange comes with Trump leading the race for convention delegates over two surviving competitors and some GOP leaders trying to head off his nomination, saying he would be defeated and cause losses for GOP congressional candidates.
Trump, a prodigious tweeter, has 7 million followers on his account.

The Redhawk says
HOW can any MASS Voter Ever Vote for that FAUX INJUN princess LIEAWATHA???? Is lIberalism making New England Voters that STUPID??? Leahy… Sanders… Kennedy…Kennedy.. Whitehouse…Liawatha…Malarky….Barney Franks…ETC ETC ETC…..had Enough already???
Main Street says
@ RedHawk I agree. How about the south electing Clinton, Carter. How about the Midwest electing Durbin and Obama. How about the west electing Brown or Pelosi. No region is better than the other.
ILLINOIS BOB says
Just for the record, many of us Illinoisan’s voted AGAINST DICK DURBIN (elitist club and out of touch), but the political machine in Chicago always seems to “manufacture” enough votes….
AND… RONALD REAGAN was originally from ILLINOIS, NOBODY knows where OBAMA is from originally.
Obama camped out in Illinois where he set up residence, and became the Democratic puppet of TONY REZKO (ended up in prison) and ROD BLAGOJEVICH (still in prison), and some how was elected President twice…
HILLARY CLINTON is from Park Ridge IL and nobody likes her either….except the political cronies.
ILLINOIS BOB says
P.S. — TRUMP WINS ARIZONA TONIGHT, winner take all State. Meanwhile in UTAH Trump may do better than expected.
Especially with John Kasich releasing commercials where video shows Mitt Romney supporting Kasich on video for President, all while Mitt Romney concurrently sends out ROBOCALLS to voters saying he supports Ted Cruz for President stating that “a vote for Kasich is a vote for Trump”.
The Kasich and Cruz camps are ready to implode hanging around with Mitt Romney.
Mikeyavelli says
…oh cmon, obama barely knew Rezko or blago or Ayers or Rev wright or Larry Sinclair or Donald Young, barely knew them, hardly at all.
Susan says
I live in California and still don’t know how They ever got elected and re-elected.
Johnny B says
That answer is simple; “voter fraud”….
Eleanor says
Voter fraud. Souros even has a man “managing” the Utah caucus!!
Warren says
You forgot Boxer and Feinstein!
Trisha Long says
LOL yep she’s a fake !
Ray says
TRUMP knows how to bring out the true colors of these liberal walking~deads.
glenn davis says
We didn’t have any real Injuns to vote for.
Mikeyavelli says
We didn’t have a real black or a real American to vote for either. We voted obama in.
Eleanor says
You’re right! Even his race is a fraud, according to his Kenyan cousin. His mother was white but his father only had 6% black blood, the rest is Arab, hence his light color and non-negro features. He duped us all again!! He hates his white and his black blood, identifying as a Muslim ARAB. The laugh’s on us! He wanted to get elected so he used the race card. He can’t claim to be the first black president That man is yet to come but Ovomit can’t claim that for his so-called “legacy”.
Gene Rossel says
This wasn’t a rant but an Indian warpath. She probably needs some wampam for her war chest as she is on her last warpath. Can you imagine being married to this. What a waste.
OracleGuy says
Eleanor, what have you been smoking? You are just like Rush and Sean – uninformed but loud!
Thomas E Stanley says
If infact she is American Indian, I apologies to America for her anti-American and un-lady like actions. Defiantly showing herself to be a coward and totally against the American people – that’s probably why she is a senator..
skylark says
It’s funny because the Indians said there is no Indian blood in her. They can not find any of her people. She’s lying. Like all the scam in DC. She is another one that thinks she can make the voters do what or I should say vote for who they want. American People better wake up. The People on the Hill are a lot of crock suckers.
Eleanor says
She is no more American Indian than Obama is black!!! See my earlier comment. The American Indian doesn’t need to apologize for her claim than the black people for Obama’s claim The Clinton, Kerry Jarrell, and a few others knew this BEFORE the 2008 election!
Lala says
If she is really indian she is a disgrace to this oroud nation of cherokee.
txgal says
She not American Indian. All she would have to do is a DNA test by some Genealogy site to prove this. Since she hasn’t then she isn’t . And she could have done that at least 5 yrs ago. to prove it !!!
ILLINOIS BOB says
I am sure the Cherokee Nation is glad that Warren is not Cherokee (as she claims) – Warren is a complete embarrassment!
Dalton Griffin says
She maybe mentally ill. She appears to not be dealing with a full deck.
Mikeyavelli says
When Sqauw Warren is asked to shoot arrows at Big Chief Trump, you know there’s worry on the reservation. And if obama decides to appoint a special counsel to indict Hilliar, then Squaw Warren would be painted up and sent out to run for the Big White Tepee in Washington. Her tribe would love it, she’s to the left of Bernie Sanders.
Eleanor says
Yup!!
Mr Obvious says
She is a typical liberal big mouth. Between her, Hillary and Schultz, don’t know who’s worse.
Christa says
Not surprising at all. Every single person in the senate is corrupt. That’s why we don’t need another politician for President. VOTE TRUMP.
Eleanor says
So like Obama and Clinton she lies a lot! You people will just have to recall her or impeach her, and never vote her into another office in this land.
Ray says
A numb~skull?
Bill Kay says
A prime example of why they are called Dimocrats , in every sense of the word the women is emetic !
Lynne says
Unfortunately she’s mine too
Joy says
Who gives a damn what she claims. She isn’t worth wasting our words on. This isn’t news. Was she drinking alcohol?Obama trying to take our guns isn’t news. Just another moron trying to make a name for himself. He has done that already. He’s going down as the worst president in history and she’s not worth talking about. Nice. Real nut cases
Laurel Durkee says
Oh my Lizzie is such a sore loser! She and Democrats are so desperate they resort to name calling. Get over it Liz.
Main Street says
As a Bostonian, I think that Warren is terrible. 30 years ago, a millionaire posing as working class and a WASP passing herself off as a Cherokee person would be considered a strange fraud.
Thomas E Stanley says
Don’t feel too bad, we got Reid – but only for a few months more.
bluewarrior13 says
Why does this type of a person keep getting elected?
Cliff Blake says
Joe Stalin got elected
Richard Blake says
The fact that she was elected tells you how intelligent the people are in this state.
callitasiseeit. says
what about Obama? He got elected twice. how intelligent are voters! how about Nancy Pelosi?
she got elected into office. oh, and Barney Franks; oh, and Hillary Rodham. i guess i could just go on and on.
Bill says
Richard Blake, or maybe how corrupt the system is! Our country is heading down the wrong path, but these so called idiots keep getting re-elected. HOW?
STMA says
I’ve wondered the same thing- for about 5 seconds. It’s obvious that election fraud isn’t just in presidential elections- it goes way down the totem pole all the way to the state level or below.
Lynne says
Not all of us voted for her ,a lot of us can’t stand her,
Don Bower says
Many

She is also very scared of Trump, he has much or more money and will expose her for what she is!!!!
Kathy Walker says
Warren is lieing piece of crap. She would say she was in the dog family if they were looking for great dogs. Just another political hack. Why these people are voted in to office. Nobody is going to pay any attention to her but a Democrap . I rest my case. Voted Trump
Christa says
Exactly! That’s why they are all afraid. Because TRUMP will expose the corruption and he fix it. He will get rid of the corrupt. Go TRUMP!
Barbara Gooch says
Dumb people voting
Thomas E Stanley says
That shod read: degenerate people being elected senator. She is a real credit to her sex!
karen e. h. naylor says
DEAR THOMAS I USE CAPS FOR OLD EYES. I AM NOT YELLING AT ANYONE. PLEASE DO NOT CLUMP ME WITH THIS WOMAN. SHE WOULD GOING NUTS AND SCREAMING HALF TRUTHS IF SHE WERE A MAN TOO. LOOK AT SOME OF THE GUYS IN THIS CAMPAIGN. LAUGHTER. I HAVE BEEN A HARD WORKING AMERICAN MUTT ALL MY LIFE. I HAVE NEVER USED ANY OF THE BLOODS IN ME INCLUDING INDIAN TO GET WHAT I WANTED —EVER..I AM AN AMERICAN SERVICE – CONNECTED VETERAN AND PROUD OF EVERY SCAR FROM EVERY BATTLE FOUGHT BOTH CIVILIAN AND MILITARY. AND I STILL FIGHT WITH TRUTH TO SURVIVE IN A WORLD GONE STUPID INSTEAD OF PULLING TOGETHER AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA.
Nancy says
Because we’re stupid — we do the same things over and over again. Also because we’re lazy, and its easier to pull the lever for a familiar face than to research an unfamiliar name and face. I’m sorry to say that, but how else to explain it…………………..
Another thing — what the media does to anybody who runs is not to be believed. Who among is without sin. Who among us wants to expose our entire past to the public? So we sit back and let the scumbags run. They have no shame. Its a game for them. I mean, what’s a little lie among friends?
Jim man says
Nancy says
You are right we need to read read. Look at all the candidates Go back and look at all interviews
If you do you would be horrified at views that Trump held for many years And changed many times
Some times weekly. I supported Trump at first until I started going back looking at his many interviews
Which is many !! you will see he Changes his mind almost on a weekly basis Really
He does not have a clue of how to lead our country. He would try to run it like he runs his business. Like a dictatorship
Not going to happen.
Christa says
Not true. He will surround himself with the most intelligent people. He will put an end to the terrorism, build jobs, build a wall, get rid of the people that shouldn’t be here. No one will will do that because all the others are cowards. All the other candidates are already in politics. If they were capable of making change it would have happened by now. Not one of them has tried to stop Obama. Why? Because they are as corrupt as Obama is. Trump isn’t afraid of anyone. That’s the kind of president we need because the United States won’t be United States much longer if everything stays the same.
Tom says
Because liberalism is a mental illness.
Eileen Murray says
Yes, it most certainly is. These are the lions who believe it is ok to find Planned Parenthood to sell human bay parts. The most insidious act of all times for our government!!!

glenn davis says
You’d have to live here to understand.
Jim says
Some people just don’t think before they vote!!
Jim man says
Jim says
You are one of those if you are buying into Trumps. Eratic statements At every rally he conerdicts his own remarks
The last 4 interviews he has changed his views at least 3 times. Either people don’t care. Or are not paying attention
This guy is a lose cannon. And should never get near the White House
Christa says
He hasn’t changed his views. That’s people twisting what he says to their advantage. Despite the conflict between Megan Kelly and Trump – she even confirmed that.
david says
I totally agree
Susan says
Corrupt voting practice, that’s how
Awake says
These filthy swine need to go.
Once president TRUMP gets in our White House and starts drumming up all the dirty little secrets that this country is carrying for all of these “elitists” is going to be one fine day. !!!
He will PROVE most of them as lying thugs. In office for nothing more than to continue with their ultimate pyramid scheme on the American people. And the elitists that are corrupt are filling their pampers with worry.
Eventually , all things must end. And it’s TIME to get these people exposed for what they are.
cruz and Kasich will be the same old, same old
Americans better wake up and clean their ears.
Trump
2016!!!!!!!!!!
Barbara Gooch says
Your right that is why they are trying to block him from getting in.
Jim says
You got that right. They are stunned at what is happening. The sheep are turning into wolves. The good old boys(and gals) don’t know how to control the wolves. It’s time to clean out the congress and get real Americans in.
Kathy Walker says
Awake I tottaly agree with you. These are all lawyer parasites. Voted Trump we need a businessman the last hope. Cruz(Rafael). Can go back to Canada. Kasich wants all the illegals here. Clinton would be Obama all over again besides she should be in jail. Sanders is a communist.
Jim says
Correction, Sanders is a socialist by his own admission. hillery is a COMMUNIST.
Jim man says
Kathy
Awake is really asleep. That is very ignorant statement Trump will not do nothing because most of what he is saying is the job of congress. We have 3 co equal branches of government The President being 1 of the three. The President is not a dictatorship Every thing he has said he can not do unless congress goes along with him. He would have to convince over 275 house members. And at least 51 senators that would be close to 325 people in congress A large majority says he does not know what he is talking about Very very dumb ideas. He is to much of a rookie and would be a disaster
These are elected members Not some one that works for the President !!! The President can not write law. Only congress can
The President can not put taxes or tariffs on goods coming into this country from Mexico or China Only congress can
A lot of people believes Trump. BS. The Scarey thing the dumb ass thinks he can. The U.S. Congress do not like Trump
He would be worst than Obama Congress has not worked with Obama he has got very little done except executive orders
99 percent are in the courts and are not being implemented Trump will do the same as no one will work with him
Don’t worry about that because if we put Trump up against Hillary ?? Hillary will be the next President. By a land slide. According to all Polls Cruz beats her by a average of 8 percent
Awake says
Jim man. It’s hard to take one with your grammar seriously.
Trump WILL WIN. And He WILL build a wall and Mexico will pay for that wall. If you believe that cruz is able to abolish the IRS, I have beach front property in Tucson, to sell you.
Cruz has lied from day one. Cruz will be exactly like all of the others. Atleast Trump has been able to PROVIDE and MAKE JOBS.
Cruz is not even eligible. He is a Cuban/Canadian, whom will be eventually proven to be unelectable and ineligible ! Trump will surround himself with the smartest, most intense in this country. He will get things done. And UNTRUE! Trump is LOVED by MILLIONS!! Unlike creepy,preachy cruz or shillery. Lord help us all if one of them is elected.
Jim man says
Awake says
Trump is the corruption He has paid more bribes than any one in the last 40 years. This is public record. This man will never get near the White House period !!!!! If he does he will hurt the country worst than Obama
Jim says
Oh come on now nobody can be worse then our communist president.
Jim man says
Jim says
Yes he would be worst Than Obama !! Look what he just said in the last 3 days. This guy is very Scarey
We need some one that has experience.
Awake says
Experience????? Ha!!!!! You think cruz is experienced??? Kasich??? Hillary?? Yep. They are experienced with accepting and padding their bank accounts. Experienced like s mop They may as well have a stick up their butts helping them walk and talk. They will do anyything for money. They are puppets. RINO puppets
Mikeyavelli says
Yep, obama and Hilliar have a bigger lie support system than Santa Claus.
Buster says

george logan says
She made 345,000 a year teaching one class at Harvard per year and now she says the government should pay all students tuitions. You have to question her credibility. It is easy to criticize a man who puts his life on display every day as opposed to one who has lived a life of entitlement.
Kathy Walker says
I would not want her teaching my kids anything isnt. she part of the Bill ayre movement? And this what we have teaching the kids in college. Heaven help us.
These are all left wing nuts. Why would anyone listen to there crap.
M French says
She is an embarrassment wo women everywhere. And to claim she has Native American blood is an affront to Native Americans everywhere! She is an atrocity! Throw her out!!!! She is a low life person – a street fighter who is as ugly outside as she is inside!
twykes says
Is she a native american or not. Any
Info on her. Lies always come back
To bite you in the ass. I cant believe
As a senator she would lie about that.
Jim says
I feel sorry for you if you don’t think a Senator would lie ! That’s how they get into office. Do you think you would vote for some of them if you knew their real background?
Ray Downen says
What this Senator has written about Trump is all true. Attacking HER will not change the truth about Trump.

Or could it be just DRUGS. Both kinds !!!
Awake says
Trump is being attacked Daily, for being an American and saying it like it is.
Trump has more class in his pinky nail, than this lying poser.
All politicians lie. It’s just scaring the crap out of them, that Donald trump is exposing them. And I LOVE IT!!! Hahahah. Cannot WAIT until he goes after shillery !! It will take him years to get to the bottom of the clintons and Obamas lies and destruction.
Carl says
Have you not noticed that Bill is now on the warpath against the Kenyen Thug. If you think the R’s are eating their own this is a real surprise since the D’s always stick together no matter how corrupt the person involved. Just another example of how deep Mental Illness runs in the Progressive’s circles.
Jim says
Sorry to say that as President Trump will be quite busy with affairs of state. Just how much can he do on his own. Now on the lighter side I see that federal agency are waking up from there long Obama nap. The FBI is stirring as hillery is finding out. Now if the CIA will start putting her overseas connections together and the IRS comes over then Donald will have the help he needs. Yes, when he gets in I think there will be a flood of information that Trump and is associates can use. Now that’s why everybody is so scared!!
Kathy Walker says

It appears the Dopycrats have a lock on mentally deranged women. Debbie, Liz and Nancy head the list, but their are many more in the ranks that exhibit a loss of sanity. Of course, there are a number of them that are just plain stupid. Patty Murray leads by a wide margin, but she has many contenders in the party that are challenging her mental deficiencies. Then, old Foot In Mouth Biden cannot be ignored for being stuck on stupid. My father kept a picture of Roosevelt in our front window. He is rolling over in his grave over what has become of his beloved party. I am sure Barney Frank has the answer.
dprato says
I want to state at the outset that this comment has nothing to do with this article in particular. I am interested in sharing some bipartisan thoughts about the topic, We Are The Party, and address it to both Democrats and Republicans alike.
This election cycle has focused my thinking about the process we go through in both parties to select a candidate to represent us in the November elections. During the Democratic primaries Democrats vote for their choice but the “Party” has super delegates who are not beholding to the rank and file Democratic voter. On the Republican side it is apparent that when they don’t like who the rank and file Republicans are voting for “they” the “Party” try to decide who is going to be the nominee over the choice of the majority of their members. In both cases the Democratic and Republican parties forget that in reality you and I “Are the Party” and we should be the ones that ultimately decide who represents us.
To this end I am suggesting a voter “Revolution” where people push back hard on their respective parties and remind those in charge that you and I are the party and we really don’t care for these rules that take the ultimate say away from those of us who are also registered Democrats and Republicans. I would urge those of you who agree to write and call your respective Congressional, State and Local representatives to complain about the “process” in addition to the DNC and RNC depending on your party affiliation.
I think its time that the people involved in the political process understand that they only derive their authority from the People when we give it to them and WE need to recognize that when we acquiesce and let them do as they wish we are abrogating our individual prerogatives to have them represent us as we would like to be represented.
Those of you who feel you agree with my sentiments are free to use this statement in any comments or letters or conversations you have. It is my intention to insert this statement in the comments of every article I read online and to hopefully start a movement that will hold both political parties accountable to their members.
Thanks for reading this whether you agree or not.
Gary says
The sad part my friend is that party officials are beholden to the elites of Washington. That is where they get the money to run for office and take money from elites to vote a certain way on legislation. Lie, cheat and steal and in the process sell the American People out. Well thought out . You were just nicer than me.
Nikita 63 says
You Are Absolutely Correct. And, if the opinion of a 71 YEAR OLD Vietnam disabled veteran means anything to you, Kudos for having the GUTS to write so. In THIS constitutional Republic, long weakened by party agenda politics in opposition to the WILL of the electorate, it is time to prove to them that: THE AUTHORITY TO GOVERN COMES FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.PERIOD. By the way, I have had a Degree in Government since 1967 wen I was young, idealistic and once a registered democrat; with age and wisdom, I regained my sanity and am unenrolled and Conservative. I believe we should do away with party politics altogether. We Vote and the majority candidate is elected based NOT on a party Agenda, but his or her perceived ability to be of benefit to WE, THE PEOPLE! And, no political candidate qualified to run should be allowed to receive ANY private funding at all from anyone. That will level the playing field and give us better candidates. And, they may be levelly funded by an established Government fund FOR that purpose; limited to the same amount for all candidates. If we can eliminate foreign aid and cut welfare programs, put American citizens back to work, deport those with no right to be here and observe the Constitution and the Rule of Law. We will be far better off and there soon might even be a future for our children as thanks to THIS Administration: THERE IS NOT!
Constitutionalist says
Nikita-
While i certainly agree with you and Jefferson(that was a DoI quote, right?), elected, appointed, and hired agents of gov’t stopped seeking – or even needing – the consent of the governed long ago – like around the time of the War for State’s Rights(aka Civil War). The Southern states obviously withdrew their consent to be governed by the likes of the Northern pukes, and were forced at gunpoint to agree with their enslavers.
Here’s what a couple of very bright F&F had to say about governance:
“Reason and Ignorance, the opposites of each other, influence the great bulk of mankind. If either of these can be rendered sufficiently extensive in a country, the machinery of Government goes easily on. Reason obeys itself; and Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.”
— Thomas Paine(1737-1809)
Here, in a nutshell, is the reason for the “dumbing-down” of America.
“A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”
~James Madison (letter to W.T. Barry, 4 August 1822)
Reference: Letters and other Writings of James Madison, vol. 3(276)
Here, with the first sentence, we can discern why there’s so much secrecy involved with governance, and we can also see both the farce the USG has become, as well as the Tragedy which impends; with the second sentence, we may begin to grasp the intent of the F&F, which was that we become smart enough to govern ourselves and cut ostensible “governORS” out of the loop.
But then, a Frenchman weighs in on exactly what it means to BE “governed:”
“To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, and commanded by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction: noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it’s justice; that is it’s morality.”
— Pierre-Joseph Proudhon(1809-1865) French mutualist political philosopher
Source: The General Idea of the Revolution in the 19th Century, 1851
Pretty self-explanatory, don’t’cha think?
So, one more:
“Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”
— Daniel Webster(1782-1852), US Senator
The problem and it’s possible solution seem obvious to me; almost everyone who’s taken the Oath of Office has betrayed that oath, and no one has held them accountable.
i believe that ONLY when officeholders are as routinely arrested, tried, and prosecuted as are perjurers – and for the same reason, lying under oath – will Americans stand a chance of regaining control of their ostensible Public Servants and putative Employees…for they were put in place to guard our Liberty, and they have betrayed us, pretending instead to be our Masters, not our Servants.
It is my sincere hope to Awaken People to their power, which is first, to disobey each and every Unconstitutional law or order, beginning with D’OweBamacare(or wherever else you want to start), and second, to form Grand Juries to indict Oath-breakers, then arrest them, try them, and convict them of Felony Perjury, Fraud, Usurpation of powers NOT DELEGATED, and any of a number of other High Crimes which prove betrayal of the Public Trust. My preference is that those so convicted be jailed for a term of years not to exceed ten, to be fined an amount equivalent to every dime in both salary and benefits collected from the date of the FIRST betrayal of the Public Trust(D’OweBama’s should begin with the day he raised his right hand and uttered the words “I, Barack Hussein Obama”), and a permanent bar against their EVER holding a position of public trust again…which ties back to the first penalty; all betrayers of the public trust should have to get a REAL job to support themselves and their families.
But maybe that’s just me.

You got something to say? Say it. No one with a couple of brain-cells to rub together will go to your website to be preached at while you pretend to be a god.

Oh, brother. “we”?
So, still waiting for you to actually contribute to the conversation…unless perhaps the “we” you refer to is a legion of demons…

Every tweet and statement against Trump gives us a clearer picture of our one party system. You know its bad when the Washington elite have to call out and show how interconnected the parties really are. The attack dogs you see show just how deep the corruption of our system goes. Both quote unquote parties no longer work for “We The People”. They have their own loyalties to the elites of Washington. I never thought I would see the day that our elected official care more for what they can take from us than what they can do for our Country.
Lois Wenk says
If you quit worshiping Trump and look at him with open eyes you would not look so brainwashed.

Elizabeth Warren is a fraud. She has got where she is by lying to the people about who she is. She would have been better off letting the matter rest. Now that she has unleashed a flurry of tweets her deceitfulness has once again come to the forefront of public consciousness.

Elizabeth Warren’s ONLY contribution to anything of note since being elected is her exalted position as MOTHER of the Occupy Wall Street Movement a few years back. Oh, she has distanced herself from those who in their “Protests, destroyed private property, battled law enforcement , defecated on police cars and broke into businesses took what they wanted but at the time, she was “proud of her people.!” She is a liar and a deceiver. She got into Harvard by declaring herself a Cherokee with a stretch, she apparently had 1/32 of such blood. and, when the issue was raised while she was running and some tribal elders asked to see her, SHE REFUSED! Boston Herald Columnist Howie Carr gave her the nickname she despises but which fits her perfectly as “Liewatha!” She is, unfortunately one of my Senators and the other is not much better and Seth Moulton, my Representative is even worse; especially as he is on the Armed Forces Committee, approves of the Iran Nuke deal and in a public forum last August , DENIED me the right to speak! I am a disabled Vietnam Vet and wished to ask him to file legislation to HELP our Vets get what Obama and company KEEP cutting or denying altogether that they have EARNED in HONORABLE service. He would not only not speak to me in the forum , but ignored me to ask a question of an 8 year old to my right, at which point I got up and left the forum in anger and resentment. Fortunately for me; ALL,THREE of these turkeys are up for re-election: this November. I am asking all citizens worthy of the title to vote as I will in Massachusetts. So many elected parasites need to go that the only way to assure they do is: VOTE AGAINST EVERY INCUMBENT IN EVERY ELECTION FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO WIPE OUT THE ‘ESTABLISHMENT THIEVES, PREVARICATORS AND PRIVILEGED, SELF AGGRANDIZING PARASITES WHO PREY ON OUR ELDERS, VETERANS, THE SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS AND HAVE INDISDSPUTABLY DESTROYED THE FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN! One other thing: when Mike Dukakis was Governor here in MA; he came up with a promotional motto, “Make it is Massachusetts,” to attract outside business and investment in this entirely lunatic liberal pig pen. If you are a conservative and thinking about ever coming here to do so: DON’T! There is more corruption as usual here than anywhere but perhaps Sacramento , New York City or even Chicago, I won’t even mention Washington!
PB says
While I cannot stand Elizabeth Warren and am disgusted that she is the senator for my state, I can’t help but acknowledge that in this instance, she is actually stating facts. Go back and listen to Trumps speeches, rants, etc. and unfortunately you will easily find proof of everything she is ranting about. Getting angry at Warren does not change the facts. Sadly, Trump has provided too much ammunition for the Left to capitalize on come election time. That’s his fault, not hers. While I can appreciate the fact that Trump has taken on “the establishment,” DC, the media, etc., he, like Obama, started glorying in his own press. Trump is Trump’s biggest fan, make no mistakes about it. And if you are willing to believe that Trump is going to “save us”, go back and watch the 2008 election coverage that starred the current vainglorious blowhard. How did that work out for us?
JohnLamb says
One little difference, in 2008, the promises were made by a comparatively poor man who was hoping to get in and become rich. He didn’t have the money for his campaign, so had to compromise to get in to the deep state.
Now the guy promising, DOES NOT NEED THE MONEY, at his age he could easily kick back, fly around the world and have a ball. He does not need to go through the B/S of these elections and have people question his motives, He does not need to win “to arrive” like the present incumbent , he already has “arrived”.
If you can’t discern the difference, Trump is sacrificing for the most ungrateful dumbed down people on the planet, and if he looses, don’t cry when idiots teach your children, when you can’t feed your family, when your wives and daughters are accosted, then raped by the influx/invasion that you’ll be getting in the next 4 years as is happening in Europe now, if you vote for anyone else.
Think of the sacrifices Trump is making. He is a bona fide member of the Western Worlds Aristocracy, what we call the Elites. He has turned away from his comfortable cocoon and lost an untold number of friends and will be ostracized by standing against them in order to champion you, the canaille, (The people), and instead of thanks and clear thinking you’re trying to bite the hand that is trying to protect you and your future.
He is in constant danger of his life from the same forces that killed JFK for the same reasons. His championing the “ordinary American” that JFK addressed in his last speech when he told us then, that there was an insidious force trying to enslave the “ordinary American”.
Calling him a Hitler is completely disingenuous, Trump proposes to end the wars, separate the powerful business interests from the State, which is exactly the opposite of what Fascism/Nazism is, as defined by Mussolini who invented Fascism that Hitler copied.
If you want to know who the Fascists are today, don’t look further than the present incumbent Government and the GOP trying to stop Trump. What business is it of the nonagenarian (90 year old) Soros to pay provocateurs/protesters to upset a political meeting other than an ingrained sense of entitlement that he and his ilk know better than the bulk of the people what is good for the people?
That misplaced self aggrandizement is nothing else than medieval Aristo thinking that he is your owner and you his serfs and how dare you go against his wishes. Pure Fascism where Grand Business interferes in the Political arena for their own interest. So the GOP proves to be a Fascist/National Socialistic (Hitlerian) organization. Similar to the incumbent President who built the modern concentration camps called FEMA.
When Hillary in 2014/15 was asked the purpose of FEMAs she replied for the re-education of adults to the “New Order’s Program”. There’s even a YOUTUBE on this with the answer coming out of her mouth! And you have the temerity to call Trump a Hitler? because some talking head you see on TV says so on pain of loosing their job and being blacklisted? There is a poor slob that said the truth on the air and he was fired as he came off the air!
At this present moment America is on the Brink, you have to vote for someone who has the possibility of really getting elected by the public swell.
I know there are possible Libertarians who maybe better than Trump but their profiles are too low to beat Hillary and the deep state, don’t waste your time go with the best chance of a winner and recommend to the Trump campaign to consider those people to be helped on his coat tails to replace incumbents who have sold their a$$3$ like this Warrren woman, in Congress and the Senate.
Try to learn how to win. Trump is about 70 now, he has the experience and the wherewithal to win now and institute changes, America needs a continuous legacy after him of a stream of younger capable people, get them to go in with him, at least your people will be in positions where they can still do good for the country for a longer period of time.
The deep state has been in the making since the end of WW2, more than 70 years now, it cannot be reversed in a 4 or even 8 year incumbency. Trump will require good people with him to deliver, give them to him. Let them learn and continue the goal of Making America Great again after he has left. Do it now.
Rick Worthington says
John Lamb:- Yours is one of the MOST SENSIBLE comments I’ve read for a while. You are obviously a well-educated and sensible person..Unlke many who rave on and disparage The Donald, while not really knowing any of the facts. You sure stated some home truths…well written too, without all the usual poor gammar and spelling mistakes that proliferate those written by the anti-Trump brigade. Quite refreshing – thank you!
Constitutionalist says
Yeah, that’s something i noticed about people; expose their most cherished lies about themselves, and the light of truth virtually compels them to turn to the Dark Side…mainly because of their innate dishonesty. If, OTOH, they are innately HONEST – or had an honest change of heart, an illumination/shining moment, perhaps, then they would acknowledge the truth and move on. But no; when you choose to defend your lie, you choose the consequences that go with that.
Frank says
Nutty Progressives showing how scared they are of Trump.

blow her butt off as irrevelant, liar, and stupid. She has nothing to offer as credibility. She is a fraud from the get go! I discount ANY democrap. I don’t find one with anything close to being believable. And the DNC is thinking about her? Bernie is more credible than Liz. the DNC is in deep trouble if this is the best they can do?
Ernst says
Elizabeth Warren is the classic liberal fraud. She claims to be minority, just like Rachel Dolezal, but she is not. She supposedly supports the poor, but she is a millionaire. She supposedly wants to restrict the banks, but she made lots of money taking advantage of the housing bubble and damaging other people whose houses she took on the cheap. She is an ugly lying hypocrite. She sure went nuts when challenged by a person with enough stature to make a difference. GO TRUMP!!!
Christopher J. Pauli says
Looks like Warren wondered off the “RESERVATION”!
Rigo says
DONALD TRUMP will be elected, and our country will be great again, and he will flush all this bad crap down the drain, but if he is not elected,than all of us are going down the drain without a chance of being able to wipe our own asses, this country has a lot of dumb fucking people who have no common sense and don’t even have the right to be on Gods green earth, prepare yourself all you good people of this great country of ours, I am a Vietnam Vet , I have lost many brothers because of pure political shit, To bad Adam and Eve ate the apple????
Rigo V Navarro says
Ladies and gentleman of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, vote for DONALD TRUMP because if you don,t we are all going to loose everything we’ve ever worked for, and for those who don’t vote for him, you will all be the blame when this country is not free anymore.
Rigo V Navarro says
Ladies and gentleman of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, those of us who do not vote for DONALD TRUMP, will be the cause of this country to not be great or free anymore, simple as that, so pull your heads out of your asses and get smart,
Jim D says
If you are voting for the Donald then it seems it is you who have your head firmly planted in the orifice you suggest.
Rick Worthington says
Get her a strait jacket…QUICK!

What makes Liberals like Warren really tremble are the 30 Million Minute Men ready to support Trump on a moments notice.
Go Trump!
Bill Byars says
If she’s for it every red blooded American ought to be against it, I certainly am.
Kevin Beck says
I guess Lizzie “Fauxcohontas” Warren got a tad bit upset that she was turned upside-down by a few of Donald Trump’s comments recently. Wow! She needs to calm herself.
More evidence that Lizzie’s degree from Harvard isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
