Obama achieved a number of significant policy victories over staunch Republican opposition and obstruction, including the ACA, stimulus, Dodd-Frank, auto industry bailout, etc. Whatever you think of any of those policies, many Republicans fought him tooth and nail, and largely lost. He also dealt with multiple…

The fact is Obama could have been much more combative and it may have been more emotionally satisfying for his supporters, but he knows it would have gotten a hell of a lot less done.

You’re off to a good start, but your theory exposes some gaps in your reading/understanding of the last 8 years.

This isn’t true. If you’d read how Republicans feel, they think he steam rolled the recovery package in 08 and they felt like their only choice to deal with Obama was to block everything. Obama has used executive power to get around that blockage more than Bush ever did (granted, Bush had a Republican congress for…

Trump “no nation building” could become Trump “more nation building” in a heartbeat.

I imagine that if Israel launched a military attack against a first-world liberal democracy over something like supporting a UN resolution, they’d find out quickly they don’t have as much support in the world as they think they do and that the outcome of that conflict would not be solely determined by their military…

I absolutely love this conversation. My dad tries to tell me not to worry about Trump because he’s already saying the opposite of what he said on the campaign trail. OH! So I should trust the words he says now because they’re in complete contradiction to the words he said then? And what happens when the words he says…

I, for one, am glad we have a president who doesn’t consider nuance, who sees the world as 100% black and white, right and wrong, good and evil, and who rightly views all forms of criticism as outright attacks. I was starting to get sick of having thoughtful leaders who recognize and attempt to deal with the…

She did say that the Comey letter decided it for her. And her roommate. And her boyfriend.

Yes she did.

you know, the thing that is giving me crippling depression about 2016 is not that conservatives voted for donald trump - i pretty much expected that. it’s all the personal sexism i experienced from ostensibly liberal men about hillary clinton, and now the victim-blaming that they are heaping on her after the fact.

Yeah, I can’t believe anyone would ever think otherwise. Obama would have won hands down over pretty much anyone the GOP put up; he certainly would have mopped the floor with that orange idiot.

Hillary didn’t fucking fail. She beat Trump by nearly three million votes.

“White Genocide” sounds like Swedish death metal band.

Jesus christ, every time FA shares something we get to hear you guys bitch about it. You’re not the only people who read this website. If you don’t want to read these kind of articles, don’t fucking click on them. It’s that simple.

The Warriors are already planning on drafting him. You know he and Draymond would be kicking it on roadtrips.
