You might want to send this to anyone in your family, or anyone you know, who voted for Trump.

People have to really start asking how can we move the dialog to a place where DJT supporters & non-supports can even have a discussion based on the same version of reality
Rehashing Clinton vs Trump or Obama vs Trump isn't gonna gain you any ground; how haven't liberals figured that out yet?

Forget it, lost generation.

Those wanting any kind of progressive change should be primarily focused on the 2018 & 2020 elections.

But all the distractions (intentional or otherwise) are working wonders.

I should have sited that as a Richard Reich post. I posted it for those who still enjoy the trenches.

I gave up on rational and calm dialog with the right wing CoolAidaholics years ago. In fact, I no longer attempt speaking with them at all.

My only concern now is fighting fascism.

1. He called Hillary Clinton a crook.
You bought it.
Then he paid $25 million to settle a fraud lawsuit.

2. He said he'd release his tax returns, eventually.
You bought it.
He hasn't, and says he never will.

3. He said he'd divest himself from his financial empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest.
You bought it.
He is still heavily involved in his businesses, manipulates the stock market on a daily basis, and has more conflicts of interest than can even be counted.

4. He said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said.
You bought it.
He then proceeded to put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration.

5. He said he'd surround himself with all the best and smartest people.
You bought it.
He nominated theocratic loon Mike Pence for Vice President. A white supremacist named Steve Bannon is his most trusted confidant. Dr. Ben Carson, the world's greatest idiot savant brain surgeon, is in charge of HUD. Russian quisling Rex Tillerson is Secretary of State.

6. He said he'd be his own man, beholden to no one.
You bought it.
He then appointed Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, whose only "qualifications" were the massive amounts of cash she donated to his campaign.

7. He said he would "drain the swamp" of Washington insiders.
You bought it.
He then admitted that was just a corny slogan he said to fire up the rubes during the rallies, and that he didn't mean it.

8. He said he knew more about strategy and terrorism than the Generals did.
You bought it.
He promptly gave the green light to a disastrous raid in Yemen- even though all his Generals said it would be a terrible idea. This raid resulted in the deaths of a Navy SEAL, an 8-year old American girl, and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained.

9. He said Hillary Clinton couldn't be counted on in times of crisis.
You bought it.
He didn't even bother overseeing that raid in Yemen; and instead spent the time hate-tweeting the New York Times, and sleeping.

10. He called CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times "fake news" and said they were his enemy.
You bought it.
He now gets all his information from Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and InfoWars.

11. He called Barack Obama "the vacationer-in-Chief" and accused him of playing more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods. He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer's dime, not when there was so much important work to be done.
You bought it.
He took his first vacation after 11 days in office.
On the taxpayer's dime.
And went golfing.

And that's just the first month.

and the saddest part of your whole post is.............none of his supporters will believe a single fucking word of it.:facepalm:

I don't think it is a matter of not figuring it out. There isn't a way to get them to reality.
 
a senior NSC adviser was re-assigned after not agreeing with dumpster's latin america policy.

dumpster's spokesperson said........ "Fielding questions about Deare's reassignment, Sanders said that people who don't agree with President Donald Trump should not have a job in his White House."

of course, in the REAL world, that is EXACTLY what the advisers are supposed to do, if, in their experience, the suggested policy would result in something not in the USA's best interest or would likely harm relations with those countries.
but not in dumpster world. agree or go.
most fucked up whitehouse in history.

I have a problem with shit like this. Obviously the era of Cronkite and the journalist who just reads the news without bias is over but being as shitty as Fox news is on social media just wears away at your moral high ground. Not that there is much of that left on either side anymore but why give the nutjobs ammunition?

I agree. They aren't the only "real" news org that is taking on an increasingly anti-Trump tone. I can sympathize, but in a way they are becoming what they are being accused of.
