Why is it that Clark and Broduer remain silent about the civil rights violations that have occurred in our district? How is it that Clark can sit on the chamber floor in Washington demanding a vote on gun control yet remain silent on the civil rights abuses that occur in this City? I don’t know what Paul does but I guess that’s self-evident. Nothing. Why don’t you two speak out? Call for the resignation of Cyndy Taymore? Sit on the floor of the Aldermanic floor and demand that she resigns? Both of you are completely and utterly useless.
I think Aaron should do a story about their silence.
Those two people are useless as far as I'm concerned.
One of them, Katherine Clark wants to be the replacement for Pelosi in the House so she will do anything the Elite Politicians say -and keep her mouth shut on matters that are embarrassing to the Democrats.
The other, Paul Brodeur is a corrupt politician who thinks that the little he may do good for some replace the terrible things he has to vote along to satisfy his Democratic handlers like DeLeo et al. I've told Paul this personally and he gets insulted although he refuses to explain his votes to me.
This is what happens in a one party state - higher taxes, incestuous relationships, ignoring what is best for the majority of constituents, and a lack of efforts to prevent fraud, corruption and waste in federal and state bureaucracies.
Can you believe these clowns recently voted to give licenses to illegal immigrants which means we will all have to get passports to fly on planes as a legal federally accepted ID.I thought that getting a license to drive a car was a privilege not a right - but don't tell our stupid legislators!
Get out and vote for Trump and Pence the change is needed.
Agreed! We need a drastic change to send a message to Washington!
Can't wait until Saint Rebecca gives Saint Katherine the annual MAAV Award.
Bill Clinton is no different than Donald Trump.
Katherine Clark you should be ashamed of yourself for not going to Washington D.C. and all the rest of the DEMS that can not take it and looking for any excuse not to go. Thanks to our Gov. Baker for doing the right thing. No one would do that to Obama or they would of been called a racist. Well Katherine Clark you are a bully along with the crew that are not attending. RESEPECT YOUR PREZ!!!!
I'll tell you where they are...At home listening to their constituents. Certainly you didn't think they would be in D.C. honoring someone who admitted to casual indecent assault and battery against women, or did you?? (Sure, only 12 women have accused him of this crime, you say?).
Surely you didn't think our State representatives would be in D.C. honoring an Islamophobe, homophobe, someone who routinely denigrates women, the disabled, Mexicans, and minorities?...or did you??
Kudos to those who did not show up to honor this poor excuse for a president.
My Type Of Man You Liberal Baby.everything he Said Was Rite.Love Our New Pres.Liberals Homos mexies Trans Time To Leave Time To Go.
sigh
Get it right: An inauguration is a formal ceremony or special celebration marking the beginning of a major public leader's term of office. Your foolish honoring of this crazy man is how people like Hitler come into power. Thankfully, 70% of Americans don't support this man or his morals and behavior. This was evident by the near vacant national mall compared to prior inaugurations and the loser has-been musical acts Trump was lucky enough to finally secure for tonight's events.
Lastly, facts count. Clinton as never been charged or under investigation for rape. However, trump HAS in the State of New York, accused along with his perv friend convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Good heavens people, MOVE ON, even if that means NOT responding to something foolish!
Sorry, there won't be any "moving on" from Trump's views and behavior on racism, war against our Muslim friends and neighbors, war against women, war against lower and middle class, war against service sector employees, was against civil servants and war against healthcare for the lower and middle class. Anyone who feels forgotten over the last several years, it was because of Republicans strenuously pushing against ANY Obama/Democrats' initiatives to even the playing field for the middle and lower class and poor. If you are wondering, as Obama did, why you pay a much higher EFFECTIVE tax rate than the wealthy upperclass (top 3% of income), now you know why, and now we will pay the consequences with republicans controlling the House, Senate and White House.
Lowest favorability rating of any President EVER at point of taking office. Only 32% favorability rating. Too bad.[:-|]
all these non american liberals all in washington marching today.we had all in one place...what happened to my f-18...god we could of made the world a better place.

Thinking before you speak or do something. It's about knowing that every day, the choices we make can and will affect our lives. It's about being accountable for our choices in life. We have the right to make our decisions every day, and every day is a new day. But there will come a day when our lives will end, and we will be accountable for all of the things we have said and done.
Dear: Down with Hate - did you see some of the signs these protesters had - many of them were disgusting and the filthy language used by the stars that were speaking - they all should be ashamed of themselves!There were many young children in the audience with all that vulgar and hateful language.
You left wing moonbats should look in a mirror to see what's really wrong with this country!
And let's be truthful - that march had more to do with abortion than anything else. These are some of the same people who profess to want to save animals - and give up eating meat, and also complain about cruelty to animals but have no problem killing human beings in the womb and agreeing with late term abortions! What a bunch of hypocrites!
Hey Moonbat We learned Alright.We learned To never Do what We Did The Last Eight Years.64 Million can't Be Wrong.And I Know Plenty I Know My Son Over Seas In The Marines Has To put His Life On The Line Which Was His Choice To Keep You Liberals Who March And Cry Safe.Respect The Office And Grow Up.Take A Look In The Mirror A hard Look And Think How Bad This Country Ended Up With liberal Plan....Failed Enjoy The Next Eight Years..........
Katherine Clark who are you to speak for us and not go to do the correct process like our Govern did. All the DEMS are not happy because it was to be Hillary. Oh people voted to take care of America first. Give this president a honeymoon period this will go on for the next 4 years move on.
Nevermind, not enough time!
Katherine Clark I never voted for you and never will you sucked then and you suck now.

Resident of Melrose for many years and the change is scary. Sen. Clark why make a enemy if you don't have to. You have so many residents in Melrose including myself that voted for you. We relied on you to do what is right for our country to UNITE. I believe it will show in the voters turn out your next election. God is forgiving for all the Trump haters its disgraceful start marching for Peace.
Let me say it a clear as possible: People with sound morals DO NOT unite around unethical and bullying leaders like Trump. Blind loyalty is what gets you into world wars. People and their local politicians blindly followed Hitler into World War II and the genocide that followed, because they were too scared, not brave enough, to do the right thing for fear of retribution. The press also stepped aside for the same reasons.
This is the first thing despots do: Suppress and ridicule the people's voice, the press/media then threaten physical, psychological and economic fear on those individuals, the media, corporations and politicians who have differing opinions: Essentially what Trump has been doing before and after he won the electoral vote. (but lost the popular vote by the widest margin in recent history). Kudos to all the brave Reps like Clark and the millions of protesters around the country who are bravely standing up for our constitutional and moral values by deciding to not fete a new President who does not share these same values with the majority of Americans hold dear.
Hey "Crap":
Sure those who voted for Trump "have a say" just like those in 1930s Weimar Germany "had a say" when they allowed a monster to take over their country. They got their nasty man-child into the White House, and now we are all paying the price, including themselves. Now it's on all of us with actual moral values to stand up for American values, the United States Constitution, and stand tall against the xenophobia, racism, misogyny, and total incompetence that is wreaking havoc all over the globe now. Our country's reputation has been harmed irreparably and our world is far less safe this week than last as a result of the gross incompetence and rank hatred that underlines Trump's outrageously unAmerican policies, if one should even dignify them with that word. It is chaos now and there is no excuse. This did not need to happen. Trump's own cabinet and Pentagon leadership have been cut out of the decision-making and crazy fascists like Bannon and his 30-something a$$hat Miller are defining United States policy, to the detriment of all that is supposed to be sacred and in contempt of all those who fought for our American values.
"Crap" is just another of these ignorant bullies who apparently likes the harm and chaos that is happening now. Shame! This is not okay. Thank you to all who've stood tall against this administration and all the menacing citizens who think this is okay.
"President Trump was a business man before he was President "
You mean a "business man" who is 2 billion dollars in debt and has "successfully" bankrupted nearly every thing he has touched, and is now doing that with our United States as well. The only reason this creep stayed rich is that he had so much money (unspeakably so much) that he could turn around and play roulette with his bottomless credit reserves to borrow more and gamble with new endeavors. He is an ignorant, mentally unstable person whose arrested development and blatant narcissism makes him uniquely unfit to serve. Anyone who couldn't see that is obviously lacking in basic observational skills and maturity as well.
Can you moonbats understand - you LOST! Go back and wipe the tears from your eyes and go out and help us make America great again after the last administration embarrassed us - notice that we have not heard from Obama? He is in hiding knowing that he instituted a similar ban of travel from those 7 countries back in 2015 - no problem doing this because Obama was a Democrat - not bad press, no Schumer crying, no pushback from the Democrats! You people are a bunch of hypocrites and the now we all know it!
Amnesia is another common affliction of Democrats!
A$$hat Spicer doesn't even know what the Onion is, totally ignorant and also Irony Challenged, as so much of Melrose is. He just retweeted an Onion article that he thought was praising him.
Impeachment is inevitable. Just a question of when and how many will have died in the lead-up to it.
"Trump has been trying to govern by impulse, on whim, for personal retribution, for profit, by decree ― as if he had been elected dictator. It doesn’t work, and the wheels are coming off the bus. After a week!
Impeachment is gaining ground because it is the only way to get him out, and because Republicans are already deserting this president in droves, and because the man is psychiatrically incapable of checking whether something is legal before he does it.
Impeachment is gaining ground because it’s so horribly clear that Trump is unfit for office. The grownups around Trump, even the most slavishly loyal ones, spend half their time trying to rein him in, but it can’t be done.
They spend the other half fielding frantic calls from Republican chieftains, business elites and foreign leaders. Trump did what? Poor Reince Priebus has finally attained the pinnacle of power, and it can’t be fun.
It is one thing to live in your own reality when you are a candidate and it’s just words. You can fool enough of the people enough of the time maybe even to get elected. But when you try to govern that way, there is a reality to reality—and reality pushes back.
One by one, Trump has decreed impulsive orders, un-vetted by legal, policy, or political staff, much less by serious planning. Almost immediately he is forced to walk them back by a combination of political and legal pressure—and by reality.
Unlike in the various dictatorships Trump admires, the complex skein of constitutional legal and political checks on tyranny in the United States are holding—just barely at times, but they are holding. And the more reckless Trump’s behavior, the stronger become the checks.
Only with his lunatic effort to selectively ban refugees (but not from terrorist-sending countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt where Trump has business interests) has Trump discovered that the American system has courts. It has courts. Imagine that.
The more unhinged he becomes, the less will conservative judges be the toadies to ordinary Republican policies that they too often have been. Anybody want to wager that the Supreme Court will be Trump’s *****?
In the past week, Republicans from Mitch McConnell on down have tripped over each other rejecting his view of Putin. They have ridiculed his screwball claim of massive voter fraud.
They are running for cover on how to kill ObamaCare without killing patients or Republican re-election hopes. This is actually complicated, and nuance is not Trump’s strong suit. Rep Tom McClintock of California spoke for many when he warned:
“We’d better be sure that we’re prepared to live with the market we’ve created” with repeal, said Rep. Tom McClintock. (R-Calif.)
“That’s going to be called Trumpcare. Republicans will own that lock, stock and barrel, and we’ll be judged in the election less than two years away.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, mocking Trump’s own nutty tweeting habits, sent out a tweet calling a trade war with Mexico “mucho sad.”
Trump’s own senior staff has had to pull him back from his ludicrous crusade against Mexico and Mexicans, where Trump forces the Mexican president to cancel an official visit one day, and spends an hour on the phone kissing up the next day.
Trump proposed to reinstate torture, but key Republican leaders killed that idea. Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the Senate’s third ranking Republican said Wednesday that the ban on torture was settled law and the Republicans in Congress would oppose any reinstatement. Trump’s own defense secretary holds the same view. After blustering out his new torture policy, Trump meekly agreed to defer to his defense advisers.
All this in just a week! Now capped by federal judges starting to rein him in.
Two weeks ago, in this space, just based on what we witnessed during the transition, I wrote a piece calling for a citizens impeachment panel, as a shadow House Judiciary Committee, to assemble a dossier for a Trump impeachment, and a citizens’ campaign to create a public impeachment movement.
In the two weeks since then, Free Speech for People has launched a citizens’ campaign to impeach Trump. About 400,000 people have already signed the impeachment petition.
The bipartisan group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, (CREW) has been conducting a detailed investigation. Senior legal scholars associated with CREW have filed a detailed legal brief in their lawsuit, documenting the several ways Trump is in violation of the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits a president from profiting from the actions of foreign governments.
There are already plenty of other grounds for impeachment, including Trump’s putting his own business interests ahead of the country’s and his weird and opportunistic alliance with Vladimir Putin bordering on treason. A lesser-known law that goes beyond the Emoluments Clause is the STOCK Act of 2012, which explicitly prohibits the president and other officials from profiting from non-public knowledge.
Impeachment, of course, is a political as well as a legal process. The Founders designed it that way deliberately. But after just a week in office, not only has Trump been deserting the Constitution; his partisan allies are deserting him.
Despite his creepy weirdness, Republicans at first thought they could use Trump for Republican ends. But from his embrace of Putin to his sponsorship of a general trade war, this is no Republican. One can only imagine the alarm and horror being expressed by Republicans privately.
In 1984, the psychiatrist Otto Kernberg described a sickness known as Malignant Narcissism. Unlike ordinary narcissism, malignant narcissism was a severe pathology.
It was characterized by an absence of conscience, a pathological grandiosity and quest for power, and a sadistic joy in cruelty.
Given the sheer danger to the Republic as well as to the Republicans, Trump’s impeachment will happen. The only question is how grave a catastrophe America faces first."
Hey, Stupidity Abounds - go get some sleep and get back in your meds - you are clearly delusional! Boy - you moonbats need to get a grip on life - go take a vacation to clear youyr mind - what's left of it!
It's time we take inventory on our country. We need to see whats coming in and out. This is a way of shaking up the countries. Amazing what has been done in the few weeks under his presidency. Its like how Melrose takes care of generations of Melrose families before someone from a different city, town, or region. President Trump is helping our country be aware and safe.
You Trumpists are on the wrong side of history, which will not look kindly on the horrors unleashed by this rogue administration. You are the ones future history books will be writing about in the same vein as the population of 1930s Germany. You should be ashamed, but instead you are self-righteous and bullying, just like your hero in the White House. It's mortifying to think you are a neighbor and community member. You most likely would be comfortable putting those of us who disagree with you on one of those trains to the chambers. That's certainly the end game of those now in power, and you are hopelessly foolish if you do not know this. G--d help us all.
I know when Obama got in the White House you didn't see all the Republicans crying like this. More people believe this should take place. You will not here them say it because, it's people like you that would bully them forever. We had to watch the Democrat party take the nomination away from Hillary and give it to Obama. Ted Kennedy played a big part in that movement. So where is Katherine Clark these days?
Go Patriots!!! When Robert Kraft's wife died a few years ago President Trump went to the ceremony and then called Robert Kraft every single week for one year.
Don't fret. He will be impeached within the 2nd year of office. Remember I said that.
Thinking before you speak or do something. It's about knowing that every day, the choices we make can and will affect our lives. It's about being accountable for our choices in life. We have the right to make our decisions every day, and every day is a new day.
