That's because they're crazy hypocritical. That's Trump's one and only contribution: unmasking them for good.

Honestly I thought the exact same thing. Welll, not exactly. But that was one of the the things that popped into my head. "Ok, so you're a little rock temporarily covering the face of the most powerful thing in the known universe because of a trick of perspective and distance? Awesome."

i still remember when the Great Prophet Habte would be here claiming with absolute certainty that El Trumpo could not be elected in America

absolute certainty is a strange thing!

Absolute certainty may be the most dangerous force in the world. Not only that, but if you're absolutely certain about anything, you're more likely to be totally fucking wrong.

It's not just Habte. Absolute certainty has reached pandemic proportions in the world. Extremism is not just for extremists anymore. It's for anyone with an opinion. I think this is why I have such a hard time finding anyone to talk to about this shit. Everyone is either (figuratively) jet black or porcelain white. They're either screaming about how "un-American" the "mainstream media" is, and laughing at every negative thing they read about Orange Dumpface, ("hahah, nice try Soros! Better luck next time! Wake up SHEEPLE! Lololol!!") or they're championing violence against racists and destruction of public property (because that's what adults do when they're upset... punch people and destroy things).

To quote Margaret Atwood: "I wish I was ignorant, so I wouldn't know how ignorant I am."

Or for sure. Yes. Liberals are not at all excluded. I meant to make that clear with my comment, but I didn't I guess.

There's an active social media presence called (something like) "I'm with Her... Forever" and they're posting Hilary 2020 signs. Even I, who voted for her THRICE, don't have enough face to palm when I see that shit. She fucked up, and she's not coming back, but hey, great to know there are thousands of voting Americans who are that fucking deluded. Like hearing people shout "NINETY-SIX, NINETY-SIX" at Dan Quayle during the concessions in '92. Tha fuck?!

Dunno about Israel. Never been there, but don't tell Roger Waters that you miss it. He'll slut shame your ass. :D

i like joe biden but he'd be a one-termer. i think he's got the charisma and enough sense (but don't let him tell you to put a shotgun thru the door).

i love elizabeth warren but i dont know if she could seal the deal with america. we'll see.

but more important than the presidency, mental unstables excluded, is to regain control of the house and the senate. that's what democrats keep missing the point about.

what's the legislative program what's the contract with america they're offering? what's the new-new deal? can't just be a cult of personality. where's the 10-point program?

Have you noticed Elizabeth Warren has been the target of a character assassination attempt based on her position at Harvard and her divulging her Cherokee heritage to get said position. Hard to know what's real, but it's obviously a well-engineered attack, becaue it's rooted in semi-truths. Yes, she taught at Harvard with a light class load, yes she somehow mentioned her Native American heritage on her application/cover letter/urriculum vitae/whatsver, yes she probably made a lot, but ... y'know... it's Harvard and she's a sitting senator, so professor emeritus status works in the college's favor.

Anyway, I think she's been toasted and will not run. She has been labeled "establishment" just like her old frenemy Hillary. I think she can still do a lot of good, and I love her too, but I don't think a presidential bid is in her future.

I'd vote Biden in a heartbeat, but he won't run either.

New blood is needed, and desperately. Not just federally, but on the state and even county/city level.

some people think david brooks is a stain upon humanity due to his party affiliation but ive always found him to be a reasonable and principled conservative.

and now he takes a look at the impending destruction of his own party: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/o...-politics.html
