So... Obama was supposed to reverse nearly 3 decades of inequality in the, what, six to eight weeks there was a filibuster proof Senate? Or are you just going to conveniently forget how small the window was between Al Frankin’s win being confirmed and Ted Kennedy dying? Idiot.

Are you seriously trying to blame Barack Obama for inequality? Please list specific examples of actions taken by Obama that you believe led to an increase in inequality.

I only Netflix, and it knows me well enough now to only suggest British TV programs to me. So good!!

Albert, I’m sure you’re a very nice person, but you’re wrong and your opinion is wrong and I’m embarrassed for you. Half Nelson and Lars were great films, Notebook, Drive, Crazy Stupid Love and Nice Guys were good films. Ryan Gosling is very talented and a lovely person with a body that does not quit. He is also…

I’ll only address one point, because it renders the rest useless: not supporting, and publicly calling out, Israel’s stupid policy of settlements does not equal animosity towards Jews any more than having a Jewish son-in-law absolves one from having white nationalist anti-Semitic advisors and hangers-on.

Sure, Trump isn’t exactly like Hitler, therefore he’s nothing like Hitler.

Do you realize that there a lot of people who won’t have a choice about living their life in perpetual misery as a result of Trump’s election? This isn’t like a sports team losing. This isn’t people just being bummed out because their side didn’t win. The election of a president has a tangible effect on people’s…

My favorite are the people who simultaneously like him because he says what he means and who when you point out that many of those things are abhorrent turn around and say “Well he won’t actually do them.” You like him because he’s a truth telling liar?

There was no reason to think that Obama was a communist, or a Muslim. Anyone saying that was grossly misinformed, and making an unreasonable statement.

People engaged in political debates make exaggerated claims. True.

Yup. Baseless and evidence-free claims from his political rivals that Obama wanted to be a dictator are exactly the same as taking Trump at his actual word. Exactly the same.

False Equivalency Alert

Well.... President Obama is a Constitutional Law scholar, and a successful politician, and generally a pretty cerebral guy.

Yes, just keep employing those false equivalencies for Obama and Trump.

I have hard a time believing they will even see this. The level of dissonance Trump has been able to create and normalize is terrifying and awesome, in the truest sense of the word. Trump can literally just lie about anything and it’s just so widely accepted.

It feels like the natural progression of decades of the…

Right up until they’re the ones getting the shaft, then they’ll wonder how this ever could have happened.

Does him being from Tallahassee give him some backwoods hobo points?

To be fair as well, i think posts like this one are important and need to be reiterated. Please keep on fighting hamno, you’re my only hope

I agree. Trump can be manipulated by a child, so Pence, republican congress, Putin, etc. are going to get him to rubber stamp anything they want anyway, BUT he is also a loose cannon and god knows what diplomatic (or much, much worse) mires he’ll get us into. Pence is vile, but he’s probably safer from an…

I mean, you just kind of explained it. Pence is bad, but he’s bad in the normal sense of being bad. Pence is a political threat. Donald Trump is an existential threat on top of being a political one.
