Charm?????? Clinton?????  You must be kidding. Is that why you voted for him?????

Did you vote for the Raging Cheeto because you want him to "grab you by the p u s s y"?

When's the last time you worked a job? A real job?

Never.

That was uncalled for. I voted for him because I did not like what Hillary stood for, she is as fake as a $3 bill. Can't any of you discuss without being crude?

The last time I worked a real job was 17 yrs ago and then I retired.  What does that have to do with anything?

You started it with your inference toward another female poster. When it is done to you, you wail? Then don't do it. (That phrase is a primary example of the Raging Cheeto's "charm".)

You have no present day understanding of what current conditions are for those in the workforce.

Oh really? I happen to have kids and grandkids who still work. They budget their money and don't think they have to have the newest and finest of everything and get along just fine. They all own nice homes, good cars, and jave all the nessecities. Oh, and they also have healthy savings accounts.

I did not make a crude remark, I asked if she voted for him because of what she said about him being charming and you come up with the Pu$$y comment which is crude and uncalled for. I did not vote for Trump because I considered him charming or good looking.  You could have asked if I had voted for him for those reasons and I would not have considered that crude.

    Thank you, Palehorse.

You are quite welcome. I consider it my duty as a gentlemen and one I am honored to uphold. 😎

We are approaching the point where the rubber meets the road. Let's see if our do nothing congress will FINALLY do the right thing or not. What am I talking about?

When a hurricane hit New York/New Jersey areas these bastards demanded budget cuts equal to the amount of aid being proposed for the stricken areas, holding up vital assistance for days.

Will they do the same for Texas?

   Here is a story that will make your blood boil.      Paul Ryan and the Republicans want to take a Billion dollars, yes one BILLIONS DOLLARS from the disaster relief to build the WALL.     

  I hope they try and have another fuck up shoved up their ass.     

  I got a sure fire law that will stop the illegal aliens from coming into our country.     Just one law.  Any one who hire an illegal alien will be put into prison for the first time for 3 months and a $5,000 fine.  And any boss, manager, owner who has an employee to hire an illegal alien will be put in jail for 6 months and a $10,000 fine for the first offense.  The second offense of any one who hires an illegal alien, the penalty will be one year in jail and a $50,000 fine for each and every alien hired.   

  I guarantee this will stop almost every alien, for if there is no work, no pay, no one will come to America.

No, White Friend—You Weren't "Embarrassed" by Barack Obama -- by John Pavlovitz

I remember the day after the Election, a friend of mine who happens to be white, remarked on social media that he "finally wasn't embarrassed of America and our President."

I sprained my eyes rolling them and they have never fully recovered.

Since then I've heard this sentiment echoed by more white folks than I can count, especially in recent months; supposed relief at once again having a leader who instills pride.

Since I don't have the time to ask each of the individually, I'll ask here:

So, you were embarrassed for the past 8 years, huh?

Really?

What exactly were you embarrassed by?

Were you embarrassed by his lone and enduring twenty-five year marriage to a strong woman he's never ceased to publicly praise, respect, or cherish?

Were you embarrassed by the way he lovingly and sweetly parented and protected his daughters?

Were you embarrassed by his Columbia University degree in Political Science or his graduating magna cum laude from Harvard Law School?

Maybe you were embarrassed by his white American and Black Kenyan parents, or the diversity he was raised in as normal?

Were you embarrassed by his eloquence, his quick wit, his easy humor, his seeming comfort meeting with both world leaders and street cleaners; by his bright smile or his sense of empathy or his steadiness—perhaps by his lack of personal scandals or verbal gaffes or impulsive tirades?

No. Of course you weren't.

Honestly, I don't believe you were ever embarrassed. That word implies an association that brings ridicule, one that makes you ashamed by association, and if that's something you claim to have experienced over the past eight years by having Barack Obama representing you in the world—I'm going to suggest you rethink your word choice.

You weren't "embarrassed" by Barack Obama.

You were threatened by him.
You were offended by him.
You were challenged by him.
You were enraged by him.

But I don't believe it had anything to do with his resume or his experience or his character or his conduct in office—because you seem fully proud right now to be associated with a three-time married, serial adulterer and confessed predator; a man whose election and business dealings and relationships are riddled with controversy and malfeasance. You're perfectly fine being represented by a bullying, obnoxious, genitalia-grabbing, Tweet-ranting, Prime Minister-shoving charlatan who's managed to offend all our allies in a few short months. And you're okay with him putting on religious faith like a rented, dusty, ill-fitting tuxedo and immediately tossing it in the garbage when he's finished with it.

None of that you're embarrassed of? I wonder how that works.

Actually, I'm afraid I have an idea. I hope I'm wrong.

Listen, you're perfectly within your rights to have disagreed with Barack Obama's policies or to have taken issue with his tactics. No one's claiming he was a flawless politician or a perfect human being. But somehow I don't think that's what we're talking about here. I think the thing President Obama did that really upset you, white friend—was having a complexion that was far darker than you were ever comfortable with. I think the President we have now feels much better.

Because objectively speaking, if what's happening in our country right now doesn't cause you great shame and doesn't induce the continual meeting of your palm to your face—I don't believe embarrassment is ever something you struggle with.

No, if you claimed to be "embarrassed" by Barack Obama but you're not embarrassed by Donald Trump—I'm going to strongly suggest it was largely a pigmentation issue.

And as an American and a Christian committed to diversity and equality and to the liberty at the heart of this nation—that, embarrasses me.

Just for the record, I never stated I was embarrassed by Obama.  Neither did most of my conservative acquaintances...I have no doubt he loves his wife and daughters.  I have no doubt he loves this country. I just didn't like his ideology on politics. I didn't think, and still stand behind this, that he was ready to be President....but that no longer matters.  I think this last election, we were doomed for an embarrassment no mater who won..........the left despised everything about Trump.......the right despised everything about Hillary.


Trump won.


I am now more embarrassed by those who did not take the defeat very well and are doing EVERYTHING they can, including violence and lying, to defame this POTUS. 


I know the argument, that the right smeared Obama every chance so, pay back is a Mother.


My opinion is, that the left needs to figure out a platform that they can sell to Americans and win back the votes, instead of trying to destroy everything that the right stands for.


Let's both sides, put down the childish behavior and go to the polls in 2018 and decide.  Elections have consequences!  Always have; always will!


That is my 2 cents for the day....

[Palehorse]

I know the argument, that the right smeared Obama every chance so, pay back is a Mother.

I predicted this would happen during President Obamas 2nd tenure; and I predicted it in this very forum. Karma. It's what's for dinner the next 3.5 years.

My opinion is, that the left needs to figure out a platform that they can sell to Americans and win back the votes, instead of trying to destroy everything that the right stands for.

Both sides need to recalibrate and understand that their first priority is to the people of this nation, and doing what is right for the country and not some power tripping political platform.

Let's both sides, put down the childish behavior and go to the polls in 2018 and decide.  Elections have consequences! 
. . .

Congress clearly believes it is above the rest of us. The 99%'ers. And the behavior of voters has enabled this over the last several decades.

Until we hold them accountable via the election process and/or the legal system, this shit will continue until some great catastrophic event hits this nation again. And it isn't hurricanes either, for as we see they're squabbling over that shit right now. . . And unfortunately I don't see the average American Citizen being able to ignore the propaganda machine and the emotional shit-storm it is designed to nurture; so I don't expect it to happen of its own accord.

No. I believe that whack nut in North Korea will be the protagonist needed to force this fucking country to stop the crap and get back to being America and Americans. . . Sad. VERY sad. But it is the truth as I see it.

Some portion of the population of this country is going to be subjected to nuclear fallout and death before we unite again as one country. Sacrifices to the war Gods are apparently required. . .

You are 100% correct, and I see Trump as the only person in recent history, that is trying to accomplish this....as recent as his meetings with Schumer & Pelosi, trying to accomplish issues for Americans.
