It really is vomit inducing.
It's sickening indeed but this is what we've become. We've been moving toward this for 50 years so you can't say that you are really surprised. America was a nice dream but all good things must come to an end. Democracies by their very nature are fragile, they contain within them the seeds of their own destruction. All it takes is effective propaganda to motivate the proles, and a leader who is willing and eager to tear it apart.

Please give specific quotations of praise for Obama from the videos you posted.

Sure like people of the same party praising the president is a new occurrence. Personally I don't see anything reminiscent of North Koreans praising their dear leader. I see politics as usual.

I don't remember this for any other president, Republican or Democrat.

I disagree. They applauded the bill, not Obama. In this case, they are praising Trump.

You are forgetting the double standard! The same rules don't apply to Democrats and Republicans.

I also didn't get the word "MUST". Did Trump put out a memo requiring them to openly praise him? If so, link please.

The libs are really sweating it lately. They can't come up with anything of substance against Trump, so they grab onto any shred of info that they can twist and turn to be critical of Trump.

Another thread where all I smell liberal desperation as Trump moves forward in his administration. There is also a continuing discomfort with the 2018 elections coming up coupled with the Dems still not coming up with a candidate that would have a chance of defeating Trump.

Why not praise what is positive? Trump is doing great and with the Dems constantly being critical, it is called "balance". Who doesn't praise a team member for doing well? OK, maybe the envious, but otherwise, it is commonplace to give praise to a team member that scores, and Trump is scoring!
