The mistake you’re making is that you’re proceeding as if their goals are to solve problems, and conduct the business of the People. That’s not why they’re there. They’re there to create fiefdoms, and inter generational political legacies that essentially install them as royalty, enrich themselves and their progeny, and place them and those close to them above the law. Towards those ends a look of bumbling, and the action of providing their constituents with pork much better secure their end goals. They are incredibly serious people. Agreed. I sometimes fall into the old romantic idea that they are elected officials by us to represent us in congress and make America a better place to live for all it's citizens. 1 hour ago, reddogblitz said: But then I think again. It works great for them as is. They're really good actors I guess. It's totally a power/money game. There's only 3 reasons to get in politics. Power, money, and babes ( or whatever you like ). I need to remember that better. I still don't think they are serious people. Edited July 16, 2019 by reddogblitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the funniest (and saddest at the same time) posts. Good job! This is the left lately. They're the Shooter McGavin of politics. Unable to construct their own message or even insults, they go into the forest and try out the ones that are successfully thrown at them. You'll notice they will call you a snowflake. They'll suggest you're having a meltdown. All the chides tossed at them. Their lack of originality leads them to, essentially, respond with "I know you are, but what am I?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Has everyone lost their minds? An elected congresswoman calls the President a Mother F$&&er and we’re alarmed because he’s critical of her political positions?

They're loud, the media loves them because they know if they give them a platform to attack Trump that he'll retaliate with comments that some will deem racist or misogynistic. Additionally their politics are way too far left for the American voting public and because they have a platform they're dragging the Democrat Party farther and farther left, which in turn allows Trump to harp on them as socialists.

"Good Morning" from President Trump would be deemed racists, misogynist, xenophobic, bigoted, etc. etc, ad nauseam to the "far left". I can't believe regular people (ie, those that are not highly political) haven't tuned this out yet. If I wasn't so entertained, I'd be over it too. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve never seen the video where she tells her constituents she’s going to Washington to ‘impeach the Mother F$&@er”! Look it up. This wasn’t a tweet.

Trump knows exactly what he's doing. I don't know if Trump is a racist, but I believe his comments the other day were racist. There's no doubt in my mind that if I went into my office and told someone of colour to go back where they came from that I'd be fired on the spot. Trump's strategy was designed to illicit a reaction and once again it worked. The current rhetoric of concentration camps on the border and kids in cages is gone, and instead he makes a comment that borders on the line of inappropriate (like many he's made over the past three years) and it changes the narrative. Instead of talking about the border, and the disaster of a situation down there, the focus is now on 4 far left wing Congresswomen and their socialist policies. Trump is a master at controlling the narrative. He's seen nothing but bad press for a couple weeks now, and now he's changed the narrative to something he can fight head on on twitter. Mission accomplished for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedge Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 CNN: Is Trump a racist? All the women: No. CNN: But he is a racist, so don't you think he is a racist? All the women: No. CNN: Let me tell you what a racist is. Now, don't you think he is a racist? All the women: No. CNN: This is dictionary definition of a racist, doesn't that sound like him? All the women: No. It's a great segment. 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
