Well this depressed the fuck out of me. I was going to put it in Facts for Obama haters thread or Trump thread but decided against both. Just devastating. God fucking damnit.

    A President with the ability to reflect. What a loser.

    Yes, this is totally depressing and sad. It's also frustrating as hell.

    Like this shit for example:

    "And yet despite criticism even from former advisers to Mr. Obama, Mr. Rhodes offers little sense that the former president thought he could have done more to counter Russian involvement in the election. Mr. Obama had authorized a statement to be issued by intelligence agency leaders a month before the election warning of Russian interference, but was thwarted from doing more because Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, refused to go along with a bipartisan statement.

    Mr. Rhodes called Mr. McConnell’s refusal “staggeringly partisan and unpatriotic.” But Mr. Obama, whose Supreme Court nomination had been blocked by Mr. McConnell for months, seemed less surprised.

    “What else did you expect from McConnell?” he asked. “He won’t even give us a hearing on Merrick Garland.”

    “Maybe we pushed too far,” Mr. Obama said. “Maybe people just want to fall back into their tribe.”

    That makes some sense but on the other hand, if your tribe is comprised of people with little or no ability to discern whether a candidate is a fool or not, or does not care if their candidate is a pervert, or if the people in that tribe have no sense of concern for the well being of the planet that feeds and sustains them, then their tribe is (excuse me for being so blatant) totally fucked up.  Sorry, no empathy here.
