So this is what it would've looked like the last 8 years if the media had done its job.

Made a liberal cry last night because she argues like a liberal. "Show me where pro-choice people weren't invited to the women's march", ok here's 10 links. Next argument. People get so caught up on dumbass social issues that they miss the big picture of what the government should and shouldn't be in control of. They're even borderline intelligent people and they either ignore or just miss the big picture in life.

Please stop. The media failed to hold Obama to any type of scrutiny. He used the constitution as toilet paper for years

If the left could've united the extreme progressive with the old money liberals, they would win every election.

Their fracture is why Trump is in office.

I think that's his point.
There definitely is something to the broader progressive movement giving an outsized voice to the grievance caucus that creates an environment wherein otherwise rational people were willing to turn to a complete buffoon.

Democrats must accept some responsibility for the failure of their political messaging. I an just look at the great post from after the election from CenterBHSFan - we're now the party of "just more welfare" and bathroom choice as opposed to, say, JFK's party of the New Frontier.

I mean for example I think the strategy to go nuclear against Jeff Sessions trying to paint him as a racist was a mistake.

Average folks know Trump is already making a mockery but goddamn it if they won't stand by that vote if it meant keeping democrats out of power who are doing very little to change their image IMHO.

Only in the minds of Trumpflakes who cheer wildly as he makes a mockery of their fake reverance for the Constitution.

This from a guy who no doubt believes the government should excercise police power over a woman's uterus.

Let's just face it. Trump proves that all that small government bullshit is bullshit. "Small government" is just government that coheres conservative values. Due process is optional if it keeps the muslims out!

Whatever makes you feel better. The GOP nominated a complete embarassment and he's not even going to repeal Obamacare. I still have hope he'll get his act together but the first couple weeks have not been encouraging.

Mind you, still waiting for all the rage about his insecure android phone from which he is tweeting since Hillary's fucking server helped put us into this mess.

It's a secure phone. If the media says otherwise it's fake news.

So this is going to be the default response eh? If only the media had done more Obama would have been a complete embarassment.

Trump is doing it by himself outside of the lying press with his twitter. Maybe this is where blaming the librul media jumps the shark?

Hilarious.

Maybe they should just actually return to being real Americans; then they won't have to rely on messaging to fool The People into voting for them.

1. I don't like trump.
2. As much as I'm morally against abortion, and against gov funding, I'm fine with privately funded abortions because of the people it's stopping from living in this country. I don't need more poor leaches.
3. Due process? Like the no fly list Dems wanted people on? Not letting people into the country isn't due process. People here illegally don't have the same rights as people legally here.

Anything else? And our argument was mostly women's rights and feminism which has morphed into disgusting nasty females.

2. It is illegal to for government funds to pay for abortions. It has been that way since 1976. This is a misinformation campaign from the right to defund a low income women's health provider that is statically proven to LOWER abortions nationally.

Remember, when you say "Defund Planned Parenthood" you are actively advocating for an increase in abortions.

Why not start with failing to uphold the oath of office, then you can move on from there.



Is it a debate weekend, or a troll weekend?

Hard for government to do that when they are allocating their resources and prisons for those disturbing turtle eggs in the sand.

I'm aware of the law. I was reiterating. Weird that a year ago you were for capitalism and if there is a market for it a private company would do it, and now advocating for free shit for people.

I think the entertaining thing is that on the education thread in SB, CC is generally making good points and showing he is capable of thought. Then he comes here and does nothing but regurgitate right-wing talk-radio takes that only work if you live in a little, under-educated bubble.

These are the people that whined about Obama using executive orders while ignoring how he used them with less frequency than any other president in recent decades. The people who use ignorance as a shield to the degree they look at anything that goes against their personal feelings as "fake news". With the sad reality being that loud idiots are becoming our most visible force, regardless of what side. For every snowflake progressive on one side, there's a snowflake conservative on the other side.

Ah yes free shit. Health care for low income women for free. Really need to take that away because we don't like that they also provide safe abortions for women instead of a hanger in the back alley.

We will not go back.
