    Congressman Lewis quoting referencing MLK.

    “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’’

    Congressman Lewis what have you done for others?

    Could you take your white hood off when posting please, son?

    And how will this shithead react when North Korea or China starts fucking with him? If he is stupid enough to attack a civil rights icon I can't imagine how he'll react to troop movements or military challenges. It's kind of scary.

    North Korea and China has been "fucking with you" for the last 8 years. This is continuation of "scary" and not something that has just appeared on election day. Trump supporters understand this and aren't under the false impression that we are in for good times. The hope is that a change "might" correct things. Mattis's senate testimony on the state of the world is the "scary". It is the fact that you have all been asleep for the "scary" is why Trump was necessary.
    Yeah and an idiot like Trump hasn't been in charge.

    It's pretty apparent that he can be trolled very easily. No other Pres before him was like that.
    It is the opposite. He is easily trolling the media and the left. The meltdown grows larger every day...beyond my wildest imagination. You all keep looking at the squirrel while the real work gets done behind the scenes.
    Agreed. The real work is getting done behind the scenes. All calls go through Mike Pence. Mike Pence makes all substantive press statements. Trump is the distracting figurehead while Pence and Ryan push through their radically conservative agenda. People need to ignore Trump and pay attention to where the real damage will be done.
    This exactly...although I don't personally consider it "damage" you are 100% right. When Trump raves like a lunatic everything else becomes "normalized". Pence and Ryan overtime come off as the rational ones and their agenda gets accomplished with ease. It is so obvious but progressives can't stop getting triggered by Trump to do anything about it. The strategy is right in front of your collective faces.
    We can walk and chew gum at the same time. If you think were not paying attention to what other regressives are doing it is you who is not paying attention.
    I am not convinced you can walk and chew gum at the same time. Take this past week for example. This was the week where Trump's nominee would be put on full display for all Americans to see how awful they are. Instead Trump has the media focusing on Golden Showers and Congressman Lewis. The vast majority are completely distracted while these nominees emerg unscathed. Stop walking for a second and chew the damn gum.
    They aren't emerging unscathed because nobody is paying attention, they are skating because there is nothing anybody can do about it! The country elected the inmates to run the asylum, and they are all set to shut it down.
    Monkey Driven, Call this Living?

    .@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!
    .@FoxNews "Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand." Oh really, couldn't do much worse - just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?


    SNL does suck bad actually.

    The Don sucks the biggest. It seems he may be jealous they haven't invited him on the show.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Well one thing is for sure, the Don's going to have the least attended and most celebrated funeral in the history of elected officials. Probably be a protest of lowering flags for this raging douche. Then America will finally be great again.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You're right in thinking that your observation and astute opinion should hold water.
    You're wrong for underestimating President Trump and you are most certainly even more wrong for applying your deplorable logic on the voters that elected your next POTUS.

    But at the same, Hawkins said, he and his family have received "very cruel" threats because of the inaugural controversy. He said he understands the criticism the band and the school have received for participating in the parade.

    "I get that folks are upset," he said. "I feel for those who feel the way they do. But I feel for our students. They want to go. I feel I have to be responsible to the student body. It's about this band wanting to be part of this event.

    Hahaha you don't really believe this stuff, do you?
    Yes! Put aside your feelings about him and recognize that his election strategy worked. Remember that I wasn't a fan but I saw the strategy that he was attempting. Pence, Ryan and his Cabinet will run the show while he provides blocking coverage with a daily comment of insanity.
    And you support that? lol

    Trump Voters Will Not Like What Happens Next

    So he won. The nation takes a deep breath. Raw ego and proud illiteracy have won out, and a severely learning-disabled man with a real character problem will be president. We are so exhausted from thinking about this election, millions of people will take up leaf-raking and garage cleaning with intense pleasure. We liberal elitists are wrecks. The Trumpers had a whale of a good time, waving their signs, jeering at the media, beating up protesters, chanting “Lock her up” — we elitists just stood and clapped. Nobody chanted “Stronger Together.” It just doesn’t chant.

    The Trumpers never expected their guy to actually win the thing, and that’s their problem now. They wanted only to whoop and yell, boo at the H-word, wear profane T-shirts, maybe grab a crotch or two, jump in the RV with a couple of six-packs and go out and shoot some spotted owls. It was pleasure enough for them just to know that they were driving us wild with dismay — by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera-goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch. The Trumpers exulted in knowing we were tearing our hair out. They had our number, like a bratty kid who knows exactly how to make you grit your teeth and froth at the mouth.

    Alas for the Trump voters, the disasters he will bring on this country will fall more heavily on them than anyone else. The uneducated white males who elected him are the vulnerable ones, and they will not like what happens next.

    To all the patronizing B.S. we’ve read about Trump expressing the white working-class’s displacement and loss of the American Dream, I say, “Feh!” — go put your head under cold water. Resentment is no excuse for bald-faced stupidity. America is still the land where the waitress’s kids can grow up to become physicists and novelists and pediatricians, but it helps a lot if the waitress and her husband encourage good habits and the ambition to use your God-given talents and the kids aren’t plugged into electronics day and night. Whooping it up for the candidate of cruelty and ignorance does less than nothing for your kids.

    We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids, and we Democrats can go for a long , brisk walk and smell the roses.

    I like Republicans. I used to spend Sunday afternoons with a bunch of them, drinking Scotch and soda and trying to care about NFL football. It was fun. I tried to think like them. (Life is what you make it. People are people. When the going gets tough, tough noogies.) But I came back to liberal elitism.

    Don’t be cruel. Elvis said it, and it’s true. We all experienced cruelty back in our playground days — boys who beat up on the timid, girls who made fun of the homely and naive — and most of us, to our shame, went along with it, afraid to defend the victims lest we become one of them. But by your 20s, you should be done with cruelty. Mr. Trump was the cruelest candidate since George Wallace. How he won on fear and bile is for political pathologists to study. The country is already tired of his noise, even his own voters. He is likely to become the most intensely disliked president since Herbert Hoover. His children will carry the burden of his name. He will never be happy in his own skin. But the damage he will do to our country — who knows? His supporters voted for change, and boy, are they going to get it.

    Back to real life. I went up to my home town the other day and ran into my gym teacher, Stan Nelson, looking good at 96. He commanded a landing craft at Normandy on June 6, 1944, and never said a word about it back then, just made us do chin-ups whether we wanted to or not. I saw my biology teacher Lyle Bradley, a Marine pilot in the Korean War, still going bird-watching in his 90s. I was not a good student then, but I am studying both of them now. They have seen it all and are still optimistic. The past year of politics has taught us absolutely nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. The future is scary. Let the uneducated have their day. I am now going to pay more attention to teachers.

    That was nothing but a severely judgmental, decisive and superior piece of garbage. Dems lost. But they're right, because they say so.

It was pleasure enough for them just to know that they were driving us wild with dismay — by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera-goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch. The Trumpers exulted in knowing we were tearing our hair out. They had our number, like a bratty kid who knows exactly how to make you grit your teeth and froth at the mouth.

    Alas for the Trump voters, the disasters he will bring on this country will fall more heavily on them than anyone else. The uneducated white males who elected him are the vulnerable ones, and they will not like what happens next.

    To all the patronizing B.S. we’ve read about Trump expressing the white working-class’s displacement and loss of the American Dream, I say, “Feh!” — go put your head under cold water. Resentment is no excuse for bald-faced stupidity. America is still the land where the waitress’s kids can grow up to become physicists and novelists and pediatricians, but it helps a lot if the waitress and her husband encourage good habits and the ambition to use your God-given talents and the kids aren’t plugged into electronics day and night. Whooping it up for the candidate of cruelty and ignorance does less than nothing for your kids.

    We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids, and we Democrats can go for a long , brisk walk and smell the roses.

    I like Republicans. I used to spend Sunday afternoons with a bunch of them, drinking Scotch and soda and trying to care about NFL football. It was fun. I tried to think like them. (Life is what you make it. People are people. When the going gets tough, tough noogies.) But I came back to liberal elitism.

    Don’t be cruel. Elvis said it, and it’s true. We all experienced cruelty back in our playground days — boys who beat up on the timid, girls who made fun of the homely and naive — and most of us, to our shame, went along with it, afraid to defend the victims lest we become one of them. But by your 20s, you should be done with cruelty. Mr. Trump was the cruelest candidate since George Wallace. How he won on fear and bile is for political pathologists to study. The country is already tired of his noise, even his own voters. He is likely to become the most intensely disliked president since Herbert Hoover. His children will carry the burden of his name. He will never be happy in his own skin. But the damage he will do to our country — who knows? His supporters voted for change, and boy, are they going to get it.

    Back to real life. I went up to my home town the other day and ran into my gym teacher, Stan Nelson, looking good at 96. He commanded a landing craft at Normandy on June 6, 1944, and never said a word about it back then, just made us do chin-ups whether we wanted to or not. I saw my biology teacher Lyle Bradley, a Marine pilot in the Korean War, still going bird-watching in his 90s. I was not a good student then, but I am studying both of them now. They have seen it all and are still optimistic. The past year of politics has taught us absolutely nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. The future is scary. Let the uneducated have their day. I am now going to pay more attention to teachers.

    That was nothing but a severely judgmental, decisive and superior piece of garbage. Dems lost. But they're right, because they say so.
    We all lost when an egotistical and dishonest pile of garbage was rewarded for his behavior by becoming president. What kind of fucking example is that? If you're an asshole with no character you get to be president. Wow. I'm tired of hearing dems lost. This isn't about any political party, it's about the integrity of the person elected to highest office and the continued pass he is getting for having zero respect for anything besides himself. Imagine Obama had done 1% of this shit? Old white arrogant man-baby needs to put in his pacifier and shut-up. This is like watching an episode of Intervention only no one is doing anything who can.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    So he won. The nation takes a deep breath. Raw ego and proud illiteracy have won out, and a severely learning-disabled man with a real character problem will be president. We are so exhausted from thinking about this election, millions of people will take up leaf-raking and garage cleaning with intense pleasure. We liberal elitists are wrecks. The Trumpers had a whale of a good time, waving their signs, jeering at the media, beating up protesters, chanting “Lock her up” — we elitists just stood and clapped.

    If you look beyond the character creation, which is his writing style done to make a point, he has some good things to say. And it is a fact that trump voters tend to be less educated and are going to feel the negative impacts from his policies the most.

    Seems pretty Hitlerish.
    Haha, yeah right. Plenty of non Trump voters were more than willing to give him a chance, but he just can't help himself. America is like the spouse who has continually tried to give the cheating husband a break and work together to move on, but he keeps cheating, so eventually you walk away and don't care what happens to him or those who got in bed with him.

    Trump Voters Will Not Like What Happens Next

    So he won. The nation takes a deep breath. Raw ego and proud illiteracy have won out, and a severely learning-disabled man with a real character problem will be president. We are so exhausted from thinking about this election, millions of people will take up leaf-raking and garage cleaning with intense pleasure. We liberal elitists are wrecks. The Trumpers had a whale of a good time, waving their signs, jeering at the media, beating up protesters, chanting “Lock her up” — we elitists just stood and clapped. Nobody chanted “Stronger Together.” It just doesn’t chant.

    The Trumpers never expected their guy to actually win the thing, and that’s their problem now. They wanted only to whoop and yell, boo at the H-word, wear profane T-shirts, maybe grab a crotch or two, jump in the RV with a couple of six-packs and go out and shoot some spotted owls. It was pleasure enough for them just to know that they were driving us wild with dismay — by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera-goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch. The Trumpers exulted in knowing we were tearing our hair out. They had our number, like a bratty kid who knows exactly how to make you grit your teeth and froth at the mouth.

    Alas for the Trump voters, the disasters he will bring on this country will fall more heavily on them than anyone else. The uneducated white males who elected him are the vulnerable ones, and they will not like what happens next.

    To all the patronizing B.S. we’ve read about Trump expressing the white working-class’s displacement and loss of the American Dream, I say, “Feh!” — go put your head under cold water. Resentment is no excuse for bald-faced stupidity. America is still the land where the waitress’s kids can grow up to become physicists and novelists and pediatricians, but it helps a lot if the waitress and her husband encourage good habits and the ambition to use your God-given talents and the kids aren’t plugged into electronics day and night. Whooping it up for the candidate of cruelty and ignorance does less than nothing for your kids.

    We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids, and we Democrats can go for a long , brisk walk and smell the roses.

    I like Republicans. I used to spend Sunday afternoons with a bunch of them, drinking Scotch and soda and trying to care about NFL football. It was fun. I tried to think like them. (Life is what you make it. People are people. When the going gets tough, tough noogies.) But I came back to liberal elitism.

    Don’t be cruel. Elvis said it, and it’s true. We all experienced cruelty back in our playground days — boys who beat up on the timid, girls who made fun of the homely and naive — and most of us, to our shame, went along with it, afraid to defend the victims lest we become one of them. But by your 20s, you should be done with cruelty. Mr. Trump was the cruelest candidate since George Wallace. How he won on fear and bile is for political pathologists to study. The country is already tired of his noise, even his own voters. He is likely to become the most intensely disliked president since Herbert Hoover. His children will carry the burden of his name. He will never be happy in his own skin. But the damage he will do to our country — who knows? His supporters voted for change, and boy, are they going to get it.

    Back to real life. I went up to my home town the other day and ran into my gym teacher, Stan Nelson, looking good at 96. He commanded a landing craft at Normandy on June 6, 1944, and never said a word about it back then, just made us do chin-ups whether we wanted to or not. I saw my biology teacher Lyle Bradley, a Marine pilot in the Korean War, still going bird-watching in his 90s. I was not a good student then, but I am studying both of them now. They have seen it all and are still optimistic. The past year of politics has taught us absolutely nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. The future is scary. Let the uneducated have their day. I am now going to pay more attention to teachers.

    That was nothing but a severely judgmental, decisive and superior piece of garbage.
    Aw, widdle snowflake is triggered! :cry: F your feewings.
