Fuckhead Trump is only in office due to extremely dubious management of our anachronistic and obsolete electoral system.

but at least she had the veto power and experienced people in the positions running the government properly and ensuring the rights would be protected for all.

None of this having to govern and being responsible stuff. They could've lit themselves on fire every single day, giving angry press conferences and furious TV appearances, have a ready-made villain to run against for four to eight years. Made up new shit to add to all the old shit. Easy! Now they have to make do with Nancy Pelosi. It's not the same, is it.

They got their puppet in there. Tax cuts for rich. RW Supreme Court justices. No more environmental regulations. All their dreams are coming true.

A Democrat will win in eight years and start to clean up the mess and people will forget and vote for a Republican again and on and on. Politically not smart to actually do what they say they want. If they make abortion illegal again, they can't run on promising to try to abolish it while calling Democrats baby-killers. Same thing with getting rid of Medicaid. If it's true that they have gerrymandered and suppressed enough votes and fiddled with enough voting machines to realize their dream of permanent Republican rule, then it doesn't matter that they'll have nothing to run on, but that remains to be seen. I don't think they'll get away with it. In the end, they're fools. But who knows.

The Russian hacking flipping the votes and all the other shite that went down to get trump rigged in is an entirely different matter.

this place was full of obama hate throughout his presidency and many of them ended up supporting trump . and they were claiming to be from the left.

Nobody on that side can out think or out talk Hillary. Not close. She would use the platform much more frequently and effectively than Obama did.

Imagine Trump unhinged as the loser, and desperate to remain relevant. Every day would have been glorious and hilarious.

Still difficult to believe we ignored the influence of those simplistic angry males who turned against us after 2012. There were only hundreds of foreboding articles beginning in 2014. Nothing serious.

she would have been dragged through the streets and given the Mussolini treatment by now.




Voluntarily handing over sensitive intelligence to the Russian foreign minister.

exclaiming "do you think we're so innocent" when reminded Putin is a killer.

Referring to John McCain as a "loser" on twitter.

Handling a major international incident from the dinner table rather than a secure environment because you don't want to be disturbed.

Outing a secret service agent carrying the nuclear suitcase.



And that's just off the top of my head.

Digest THAT for a moment or two.
