Oh yeah, after the thousands of lies that Trump has made while in office never lost him any support, what's going to change now?
When Bill Clinton came appeared on international TV and admitted he lied, that I accept. But who knows what hapenned, there was no evidence presented after all. Just reliable testimonies. — FreeEmotion
“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.” John Adams, Washington’s successor, similarly worried that “a division of the republic into two great parties … is to be dreaded as the great political evil.”
Under divided government, congressional opposition partisans have no incentive to work with the president; their electoral success is tied to his failure and unpopularity. This is not a system of bargaining and compromise, but one of capitulation and stonewalling.
In order to lie you have to know the truth, or else what are you going to lie about? — FreeEmotion
One need not know the truth in order to lie. — creativesoul
If claims of election fraud are never proven, that will put Trump out of the running for the 2024 election because, and I am guessing here, they know that the forces arrayed against him are simply cannot be overcome. Voters are smart enough to be pragmatic, even Trump voters.
They threw everything at Trump and he mostly prevailed—impeachment, fake hate crimes, a hostile press, a violent opposition, investigations into him and his family, riots, organized protests, leaks, big tech and media censorship. — NOS4A2
I could only imagine what his presidency might have been like had cynical, anti-Trump forces given him a chance. — NOS4A2
Obama's difficulties and failings can be encapsulated in two phrases: Merritt Garland and Guantanamo Bay. — tim wood
It appears you-all and some others blame Obama for things not his fault, — tim wood
making him the biggest coward recent memory - because he still thinks he is a 'good man'. Obama fucking sucked, and he continues to suck. — StreetlightX
in any case your comprehensive vitriol bears no proportion to the reality — tim wood
Political discussion on this forum, perhaps every forum, tends to be overwhelmingly dominated by emotional poses. — Hippyhead
No, he really did signal American support to Syrian rebels. When Assad called his bluff, he backed down. — frank
I just can't stand the emphasis on civility and compromise being presented by the centrists, trying to unite the country somehow, as if that would be a good thing. Fucking spineless. — ToothyMaw
Trying to bring the country together somehow = fucking spineless. Emphasis on civility and compromise = fucking spineless. Hysterical emotional pose. Sophomoric. — Hippyhead
Do you really think we should compromise with the GOP? — ToothyMaw
Because it sounds like the kind of shit someone who doesn't give a rat's ass about people would spew to justify compromise with even worse people. — ToothyMaw
It's called democracy. — Hippyhead
What high school do you attend? Perhaps we could talk to your guidance counselor about this? — Hippyhead
