I don't.

When in the last quarter century have they shown any sort of restraint or sense or cooperation when a Democratic president or Democratic-controlled legislative body has governed effectively? Have they not almost always lied and screamed and thrown themselves on the floor in the perfect imitation of a spoiled two year old's temper tantrum? Have they not riled up their ignorant herd of a base against practically everything Democrat with dire warnings of shit like "Death panels!!" and "Climate Change is a Damn Lie!!" and "Clinton/Obama/Clinton is coming fer yer shootin' irons!" and "Obamaphones!!" and "Voter Frowd!!"? And that last one should have a post-fix of "by the nigras!!"

If Obama had actively used what advantage he had to ram through things we agree with, it would have been proof positive to the hordes of mouthbleating fucktards that ObamaTheKenyanMuslimSocialoFascist Dicktater was ruling with an ahrn fist and gotsta be done rose up aginst!

Despite the fact that not a single one of their bloated, vacant faces has been explodified by a government rifle, not a single one of them was imprisoned for their goddamned flatworm views, and none of their precious, precious guns had been taken away.

Facts do not matter to those with an impacted recto-cranial inversion. The outcry and obstructionism and (god forbid) political violence would have been far, far worse.

Why? Because a black man was telling them what to do.

back when you lynched the folks you didn't like?

what the exact fuck does "make america great AGAIN" mean?

(not expecting an answer...rhetorical question.....but feel free to add your ideas)

I assume the phrase was chosen to lull old white people into a sense of the Regan era.

It's a great slogan. It appeals to the base because they can apply whatever meaning they individually want and the one saying it doesn't actually have to say anything of substance, kind of like "hope and change."

So "make great again" is for voters (typically older white folks) who desire a return to an unrealistic idealized idea of what some time in the past was like, and 'hope and change" is for people who would like things to change in some way they feel is better. I guess I cast my lot with those that would prefer to grow and change for better. Even though I am a white guy some might consider middle aged, or even old.
 
My power went out tonight and my first thought was, what did some crazy fucktard do in the name of political expression.

You know what kills me about the whole email thing, the Bush administration had a private email server and they deleted 22 million emails. I don't seem to remember that being as big of a deal as these.

There is quite a bit that they are blaming Hillary for that has been common practice (for right or wrong) for a long time it seems. It's just now they need something to fuck with her over.

And things like the emails today look horrible if true (the Catholic thing, the town hall questions and whatnot) but don't think for a moment that that isn't what everyones electronic correspondence looks like on both sides of the aisle and for the last 25 years worth of campaigns that have happened during the email age. Its all shitty but it's reality. And how you want to spin it to make someone look bad. We get it, everyone in politics is an asshole but somethings (like boasting of sexual assault for instance) to me are non-starters. The rest you can decide if it offends you enough to change your vote.

These are new leaked emails from Clinton's campaign staff. It's more about their soulless perspectives than anything else. But you spin it how you can.

Trump groped some more women. I'm sure that like with Bill Cosby, many more will come out.

I'm just numb to the whole thing. It anything, I feel bad for the cultures out there who have survived the eons without technology, but will have to pick up the pieces of nuclear fallout. I selfishly live here so I don't have to.

For the same reason they don't make a big deal over the 87 people killed in diplomatic service during the Bush administration. Because that was their guy, and therefore ok.

Well, the general statements in the Billy Bush vid may not be actual confessions to specific event, at least that we could identify from the tape (as i understand it. I really don't want to go back and listen to be sure, as it will just make me mad). But it certainly would hurt his credibility regarding his claim that any such printed statements were false. Plus it is just a story about the accusations. The paper does not have to guarantee the accusations are true.

I actually think he thinks it's more like marketing and public relations materials. That it's purpose is more about publicity and branding than informing. I bet he reads newspaper (regardless of the actual medium) about as frequently as Palin.
