That's copy pasta...

Not the first time you've reposted that too...

I wouldn't trust my money, house or wife to Obama either....

Didn't stop you from electing him and considering him beyond reproach.


And the "hate anyone who's different" routine is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Time to come up with some new material if you ever expect to win another election.

I don't know what any of that means.

There are many ways to expose and label it.
And the video did a good job of exposing it. But what is worse liberal lunacy or conservative lunacy?

Conservative lunacy involves spending more on the military than the next 7 most powerful countries combined, doing tax cuts that raise workers income by 0.8% and raise the richest 0.1% of Americans income by 14.2%, desiring cuts to Social Security and Medicare to pay for tax cuts for the richest 0.1% of Americans, desiring deregulation that will give millions of Americans cancer, covering up deficits created by republicans and then blaming the deficits on democrats, giving republican presidents credit for falling unemployment rates that were falling 6 years before they became president, or giving republican presidents credit for a rising stock market and then blaming a liberal conspiracy when it falls.

Larry Elder made some powerful points about the reality of the facts surrounding groups like BLM, but still these groups have much to logically complain about. But conservative lunacy has no logic other than increasing the profits for the CEO's and large corporations that fund the republican party.

So, the people who are still inviting her to speak, and to appear on stages to be interviewed at events/forums/etc. are Trumpers ?

Almost nobody voted FOR her vs. voting AGAINST Trump.
Link?

Hillary was the 2nd worst candidate on a major party ticket to run in the last 100+ years, with only Trump being worse.
By what measure?

How are you determining that they are the two worst major party candidates in the last 100+ years?

No, the facts make it painfully clear that it is the far-right, not the left, who is lost in a personality cult, beyond all facts and reason, in their support of Trump
I'm not a Trump supporter, but I still know that some people who support Trump just want to ensure a conservative SCOTUS, some are wealthy and hoped a vote would prompt legislation that would result in paying less in taxes, some wanted to promote religious freedom, and some a combination of more than one of those, rather than being Trump-bots lost in a personality cult.

You sound triggered.

What else would you expect from conservatives who hate and resent liberals with a highly intense passion? Little rationality in the emotion to be found there.

If both of them, and their crime rings, could be successfully brought to trial and taken away, it would be a great day for this nation.

No progressive actually wants her to run again, save for maybe a few crazies, and you don't have 1 in 3 progressives mindlessly believing everything she says... unlike the 1 in 3 Americans who mindlessly believe everything Trump says.

No, the facts make it painfully clear that it is the far-right, not the left, who is lost in a personality cult, beyond all facts and reason, in their support of Trump... a man they would not have trusted with their money, house, or wife a few years ago.
To those of us who left partisanship behind, it's perfectly clear that both sides of the aisle live in fantasy. Claiming that the right is delusional and the left is sane shows exactly how far out of touch with reality you are.

As for progressives not supporting Hillary, the evidence is against you. Perhaps you should let the mainstream media know, since they seem to still be promoting her personality cult.

Yes to all you mentioned. They are unhappy about all of those things. If you go back to my original post, I said more and more people are unhappy with Trump. Nowhere did I say the whole country. I talk to a lot of people daily. Strangers, coworkers, friends and family and even seeing what people say online, it’s clear many people are unhappy with Trump.

Tax cuts without a spending cuts and now a mutibillion dollar budget shortfall.

No wall but of course a $25 billion estimated cost for the US not Mexico and that budget shortfall..

Increased Military Spending for the world's most powerful military.

Healthcare Reform ?? Still waiting for any action there - oh maybe a mandatory Medicare/caid cut to help the budget shortfall.

Pro US Energy Policy - so far so good except for the states that don't want offshore drilling and are suing to prevent it but US Oil/Gas exports are great - as long as they don't come with long-term environment damage.


There is no free lunch here and being President is a lot harder than it looks even for a "skilled" negotiator.
