JFK was a right wing nut job compared these progressive heathens we are dealing with now!

I'm probably more socially liberal than most on the right. Not that I really care about most of that shite, I just want the government to have less authority over people's lives. I'm a far right winger on fiscal issues and the Constitution though.

Honest to God, if I had the money, I would run for US Senate or Congress on the platform of “I’m in it for me, not you.” Just to see how many votes I’d get for being honest.

Not a single pub who blocked Garland did so because they thought Trump would win
bullshite.

Hillary was under an FBI investigation and in a just world, would have been prosecuted.

I knew Trump had a chance because he's a fighter and the libs were acting like lunatics.

I posted on here after Trump won the nomination and the libtards were protesting and rioting wherever he went, that if they kept this up, Trump would win.

Would the country be better off if both sides of the aisle dropped all pretense that there is an objective standard for honor and what is right in politics?



Probably. The whole thing is a big game of "but X did it!" now. The left blamed shite on Bush forever and now the right is hitting them with the "but Hillary and O!"

It seems to be that the level of hypocrisy is valued as a symbol of how much power you hold. I am going to do the same thing to you that you did to me... but I am going to win, so that makes it okay.



Nailed it. Obama was liberal as hell with his use of EOs. I hated it. Trump is doing the same now and I still hate it. The whole thing is fun and games when Trump supporters can laugh and say, "LMAO HE HAD A PEN TRUMP HAS AN ERASER". Wonder what the reaction will be in 2-6 years when/if a dem gets in office and rips up Trump's EOs the way he did Obama's.

Yup. It has become a cliche, but congressional approval ratings display this better than anything. "It isn't my representatives that suck, it is all the others."
