  7. Locked children in cages - This was Obama's legacy and you know it. (the magic of using old images to distort the truth)
    Lied to the American people (still waiting on that health care reform) - Just retracted the individual mandate, which forced people to buy into the ACA
    Betrayed our allies - Do you mean the ones who have been treating us like shit for decades?
    Called white supremacists good people - No he didn't, this was debunked over and over.
    Told people of color to go back where they came from - Oh boo hoo, the ones he was addressing have been assholes to him from the start.
    Verbally attacked everyone who disagreed with him - Because NO democrats do this
    Enriched his pockets with taxpayer money - When? Where?
    Continued a pissing contest with China at the expense of American farmers - China has been FUCKING us for more than a decade.
    Made it legal to fire homosexuals for their sexuality - Seriously? Trump did this? When? Where?
    Lied about bribing Stormy Daniel's - Most people lie about paying off a whore, this is not news.
    Extorted the president of Ukraine - Proven false by the transcript and by president Zelensky
    Interfered in the investigation of his extortion of Ukraine - Actually, that was the Bidens, who continue to obstruct efforts to investigate their connections to Ukraine gas company Burisma

    I'm not one to say that Trump or the democrats are not self-serving jerks. But there's surely enough REAL shit Trump can be blamed for instead of this usual list of weak ass hard left talking points that add up to nothing. We get it, you "HATE" Trump, but, who are you?

    You're in a forum with roughly 2 dozen people, and pushing worn out material that we've all heard before and have seen debunked over and over. Warren really put the cherry on the sundae with that "Trump wants to kill cute little kittens" bullshit. Does she really think that kind of showboating helps her?

    rolls up sleeves...

    I'm sorry, I don't understand...do you disagree with a Trump policy or do you agree with an Obama one? Which is it? This argument, if you can call it that, is sooooo ridiculous. Obama did it to, so it's ok!

    No one was forced to buy into that, but regardless. He promised us a health care over haul and screwed it up massively. His response? "Who knew healthcare was so hard?"

    No, I mean the ones we made promises to in Syria. But, that's to be expected from the republicans. They betrayed the Iraqis in the 90s after convincing them to rise up against Saddam. Just another day as a republican i guess...

    Except, he did... You can reinterpret "very fine people on both sides" in whichever way you like, but the rest of us know that the "both sides" in question are neo Nazis and those opposing them. If he is praising both sides, which he absolutely did unless you can provide proof of otherwise, he literally said neo Nazis are very fine people. Change my mind.

    So that makes it ok? Got it. Glad we cleared that up. If being an asshole means it's ok to tell native born Americans to go back where they came from I can scream "go back to Germany!!!!" as loud as I want with no response from Trump or his supporters. I mean, right...?

    Again, are you saying it's wrong when Trump does it, or it's ok when democrats do it? Plus, I'm gonna need a list of all the childish nicknames Obama has given his political rivals in order for me to take this seriously.

    Are you kidding me right now?

    I mean, you're posting here so clearly you have access to the internet

    I'm sorry, does that somehow negate the fact that he's screwing some of the very people who have voted for him? Or do you just not care?

    Are you living in a cave with blinders on???

    1st of all, she's not a whore. It's not like she married him for his money.... 2nd, it IS news when it is the GODDAMNED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!! Republicans impeached Clinton for lying about an affair but when Trump does the same thing the reaction is "this is not news?" Jesus Christ...

    Really? Because he's been impeached for it.

    Really? Because he's been impeached for that too

    Who am I? You really wanna know? Ok. I am a woman. I am gay. I am a person of color. I am a religious minority. AND I am the child of immigrants. I am literally everything Trump hates. Some people have 1 maybe 2 of his targets painted on their back. I have all of them. That's who I am. I am the person he legislates against. The person he spews his hatred to. I am the person he wishes was not in America. So sure I "HATE" him...but only because he has demonstrated time and time again that he hates me.

    IDK I'm not a Warren supporter. You're on your own there

    I know you're a moderator and I mean no disrespect but, really dude?

    this is what you do when you're at parties? you definitely fit in here.
     
  13. No, just expected.

    A LOT of people tried to warn all of us, and were shouted down as racists for daring to disagree with Obama. An expertly rigged game for 8 long years.

    I seem to recall it was someone else who pulled us out of Iraq way too soon. But then, we didn't belong there in the first place. Hussein was a problem going back to Reagan and the USS Stark, so passing the buck on him only made matters worse.

    Nope, just expected.

    He only had one, "they aren't black" (paraphrase). He didn't need a raft of names because he plays a very different game. A card game of a sort. It's how he beat the Clintons as a rookie.

    No I don't, what a silly notion!

    It's not a matter of caring with me, it's a matter of what I expect. Politicians never let me down.

    Of course she is, she's paid to service men sexually. And she's rather good at it from what I've seen, some real talent there.

    See below

    I've said before that impeachment is a waste of money, nothing else. Claim it as a victory for democrats if you think that's reality. It's not though, they've screwed themselves for the next decade.

    I don't moderate opinions, just the rules of the site. Most of the time I'm only involved with spammers and people who denigrate other members. We just had a substantial lesson in how that works. We have had bad cop moderators over the years, but they usually don't last very long. One of them was dumb enough to suspend another mod. Shit happens. Really though, Zen doesn't seem to take any actual shit and all of us look out for the site above our own personal shit. I'd never bring a weapon to a discussion.



    What I find amusing is how shortsighted the whole idea of "anyone but Trump" really is. It imagines that nobody worse that Trump can possibly exist. Which is not so shocking when you consider how many nazis and dictators he's been compared to (laughable really). What if "anyone but" turns out to be a cunning manipulator who decides we much execute everyone below 5'5" in height? Or he makes chicken nuggets illegal.

    I think it is things like the "Anyone But Trump" movement that are making people lose faith in the Democratic party. It's a bit overly dramatic and makes it challenging to take the party seriously. And I'm no conservative.

    Aren't those stickers funny though. But yeah... @YouFreeMe has a point. It makes me feel like overconfidence is a definite problem. We have to mobilize against the problem of 2020. While poking fun does some for morale, I'm not sure it translates to a win at the ballot. :)

    This is LOL funny. :)

    I was mulling Tom Steyer (not really) this morning as he was interviewed on CNN. I think it was Dana Bash doing the asking, but I can't remember now. Might have been someone else.

    Anyway, the problem with accepting anyone but Trump is apparent because you end up settling for a mediocre candidate. But about that Steyer. Have we written him off because he is a billionaire and therefore likely incapable of doing the right thing? I wonder if he wouldn't show us all some serious business acumen. Still, I like Sanders more simply because his policies own. :sunglasses:

    Wow....this is a great post. I long for the days we there was some level of ethics and morality in our government. Almost any civil servant in America has a better knowledge of conflict of interest than Trump and his administration. It seems like a history of unethical and shady dealing is prerequisite for working for Trump. The Republicans seem to think anything goes. I remember when Sen. Orin Hatch came out with the Hatch Act. Prohibiting a range of political activity by Federal Employees. But now we see example after example of Trump appointees violating the Hatch Act and Orin Hatch is silent and Absent.
