hopefully, the Dems will filibuster any attempt to repeal Obamacare.

Dems can’t or won’t do anything about it. I doubt they will even exist four years from now.

I don’t think we’re in a Whig situation right now.

You were right a while back but it turns out we are again.

Trump tweets to support LL Bean, but links to the one lady on the board who actually likes him’s side company selling lobsters, somehow screwing over LL Bean because now people will boycott it while promoting her personal business.

Good use of power there, Trump.

huh? him’s? and what do lobsters have to do with LL Bean?

The GOP can still outlaw the Dems if they want to. They have a monopoly on the federal government now, and are no longer answerable to the people.

We live in a totalitarian state now that benefits an elite few. Speak up, and they will find any way they can to have you imprisoned and/or executed.

Then why are you here? If that were true, they’d have imprisoned you by now for voicing dissent. Surely if you’re right, they’re monitoring every word you type. Along with all that I type, and everyone else.

Donald Trump hasn’t been inaugurated yet. One he is sworn in, all bets are off.

An actually-somewhat-compelling case for Republicans to impeach Trump the second he’s in office.

http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/republicans-have-no-good-reason-not-to-impeach-donald-t-1791087483

Impeaching Trump would not go down well with many Republican voters—though it would win them many new fans in the centrist media, probably—but if they did so, Republicans would still have two solid years of complete control of the government, only now with a properly conservative and pliant president, in Mike Pence, who will obviously sign anything Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell place on his desk. Even if a conservative grassroots backlash leads to Republican members of Congress losing their seats in 2018, most of them will be replaced with equally conservative Republicans, who will then have another two years to continue to implement the full conservative agenda.

By then, everything will be decidedly fucked, and a Democrat may well win the presidency again, but at that point it practically won’t matter. Conservatives will have had plenty of time to follow through on their many bad ideas. The welfare state will be in ruins, the tax code more regressive than at any point since the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, major industries will be freed from burdensome regulations of their environmentally and socially destructive practices, we’ll probably be at war with Iran, the Supreme Court and the judiciary as a whole will be packed with stalwart young conservatives working tirelessly to eliminate abortion access and make it illegal to sue businesses for poisoning children, America will be a “right to work” nation, and it will be a felony to be rude to a cop. Conservatives can make their glorious dreams come true, if they just rid themselves of this troublesome president.

As soon as Donald Trump picked Pence, and not some more Trumpian figure, like Don King or his own daughter, he practically made this decision for them. It would be crazy not to impeach him.

DEAR LIBERAL FRIENDS: We need to talk about President Trump…

The the lady in that video: go bleep yourself.

I have to wonder whether she thought W. Bush was a war monger. I doubt it. and where it is the concern about blowback when comes to the Iraq invasion and waterboarding(which Trump and W. Bush support).

You often accuse me of having blind hate for Obama, you have a blind hate for Bush.

OK, so LL Bean has a member on their board who supports Trump. The board denounces her for proclaiming any political affiliation at all. This board member also owns a company selling Lobster. What Trump does in his tweet is tell his supporters to shop LL Bean, while linking to the profile of the board member’s lobster company, making it so liberals want to stop supporting LL Bean while making conservatives want to buy lobsters from the board member’s side business. So Trump hurt the LL Bean board that rejected his friend by causing a boycott while promoting the personal business of his friend. Seems really shitty to me.

Good lord the audience for the Obama farewell speech was annoying. Shut up and let the man talk.

JEDIT: I blame Millennial entitlement. Can’t shut up for five seconds while someone else talks.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

END OF LINE
