I want him to say it.
Yes, and I have a perfect example. On a hill here someone used to fly an American flag. Now, someone took that down and are flying a trump flag. Trump before America.
Some of us here actually are leftists and would see this as a good thing. You are aware of that, yes?
I prospered under Clinton and Obama. Give me more! Give me more!
These days, Nixon would be considered a leftist, that’s how far right the country has moved. Don’t believe me?
- Nixon signed the legislation creating the Environmental Protection Agency, you know, the one requiring those “environmental impact statements” so many of today’s Republicans get the vapors over.
- Clean Air Act of 1970
- Creation of OSHA
- An early form of Medicaid/Medicare for all
- Presided over the integration of schools
- First Federal Affirmative Action program (1970 “Philadelphia Plan”)
- Supported the Equal Rights Amendment from 1968 onward
If the dumbfuck hadn’t engaged in illegal shenanigans we might be a more progressive and civilized country at this point.
Damn you, Nixon!
Good one! I’ve often thought that, myself.
I remember after 8 years of anti Bush hysteria when Obama was elected how liberals were ecstatic. One thing was they promised to hold Obama accountable.
But suddenly on my discussion board they quietly disappeared.
So the better question is how will liberals handle dealing with Biden?
What did you want Obama held accountable for? Reducing the national debt? Getting tens of millions of people covered by health insurance? What?
And when will YOUR side hold the nutballs intent of kidnapping the governor of Michigan accountable? Waiting…
::: crickets ::::
Not to mention planning to throw Molotov cocktails at police and bomb a bridge to slow police response.
I like how the observation that he ignored intelligence about a terrorist attack that killed thousands of our civilians, then lied us into war, tortured prisoners, got thousands of US troops killed and tens of thousands wounded, along with an unknown number that no one bothered to care to count of civilians of the countries that we invaded, completely dropped the ball on responding to a hurricane that devastated one of our major cities, then caused the greatest recession since the great depression is “anti-Bush hysteria”.
What are you talking about? I honestly have no idea what you are trying to convey.
Wearing a tan suit, eating French mustard, and doing “terrorist fist bumps”.
Obama took a lot of flack from the left on some things, particularly his drone strikes. But the few real issues were far overshadowed under the constant stream of manufactured hysteria by Republicans and their pet media, which is why urbanredneck2 probably didn’t notice them. However, his lack of awareness of left-wing criticism of Obama doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.
Now as far as silence goes, what happened to the people who complained about government spending under Obama, the ones who talked about how much he golfed, the ones who spent years talking about the withholding of subpoenaed documents, who thought the deaths of four Americans was too many, who said that the use of executive orders to avoid congressional scrutiny was tyrannical, who argued that any sign of coordination between a president and his AG during an impeachment hearing indicated that corruption was occurring? They’ve gone very, very quiet too.
So I guess we don’t need to ask how they’ll “handle” another four years of Trump. They’ll apparently be fine with whatever he does.
From another thread, something that I too have thought when thinking about how many MAGAs generally feel about things:
Or, as I have said:
There are two reactions to encountering adversity and hardship.
The first is to do what you can to help others to not have to go through what you had to go through.
The second is to do what you can to ensure that others have to go through what you had to go through.
Stealing.
You left out the worst of all. Drinking a ‘Blue Moon’ beer instead of a Miller ‘Lite’.
Actually, you do.
Underlining mine.
I’m confused / concerned about the underlined part.
If Biden wins, what happens 3 or 4 months later that changes that? He’s (probably) not gonna drop dead. The new Congress will be settled for the next 23-1/2 months after Biden is inaugurated, so that’s not a source of change.
Or are you suggesting that Biden wins in early Nov but that Trump somehow contrives to prevent the inauguration and therefore the country celebrates Biden-as-president-elect for about 3 months before the Dictator-for-Life hammer comes down?
Or perhaps that some criminal devoutly anti-American terrorist group like the Michigan Militia will assassinate Biden as they just tried to do to Governor Whitmer?
I can’t come up with any benign interpretations of your opinion here. Care to elaborate and prove me a pearl-clutcher?
Apparently, Biden is cover for the secwet pwan to install Kamala Harris as president. I will leave Tim to elaborate on why that’s (a) plausible and (b) bad.
It is to laugh. Well, we won’t have to read your posts any more.
There is a ongoing narrative among the right wing that Harris will stage a coup to overthrow Biden once they are in office so she can turn America into a communist country.
Because, unlike liberals, we conservatives DO NOT rely on government for survival.
Nope. Check out what states get the most government aid. They are deep Red.
Opinion: States that voted for Trump depend the most on ‘big government’ - MarketWatch States that voted for Trump depend the most on ‘big government’
*One of the worst offenders is Mitch McConnell’s home state of Kentucky, according to this WalletHub study *
Hey, isn’t it time all these so-called “conservatives” down in the red states actually started standing on their own two feet?
We’re not trying to be mean. But, you know: Tough love.
A new report from WalletHub confirms what we already suspected: The states that depend the most on “big gubmin”t are also the states that are are always whining the most about… “big gubmint.”
And, wouldn’t you know it, one of the worst offenders is Kentucky — the state represented in the Senate by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican.
…
Kentucky ranks fifth in terms of overall dependence on government, WalletHub determined using data on federal spending in each state, the share of households on welfare, the number of government workers and the total tax burden as a share of income… No. 1 was Mississippi — no surprises there — followed by Alaska.
Conservative “red” states of the south and west make up eight of the 10 states with the highest dependency on government, and 19 of the top 25.
…
Yes, isn’t it time to roll back government spending? You show us the way, West Virginia (the fourth-most dependent). And you, Arizona (No. 8) and South Carolina (No. 9).
Let’s crack down on all those “Cadillac queens.” Except it turns out the real offenders are the “Pickup princes” in the South and West.
So, sorry, conservatives depend heavily on the Government for survival- and then bitch and moan about it.
