(41,647 posts)1. I would like to make two points:
1. Thank you Rep. Goldman for wearing a yellow ribbon pin to remind the world that 95 innocent hostages remain held by terrorists, including a young mother and her toddler children.
2. More than a Banana Republic, what this looks like to me is the republicans creating a Potemkin Village to hide the reality of the authoritarian regime they are installing, including the purges. It is from the playbook of the Soviet Union under Stalin.
