Yes it's a threat alright but a legal threat. We call it a "vote". That's how us sane people dispose of unwanted leaders like Trump. We vote them out of office and/or vote other people into office for the purpose of curtailing said leader's power until we can vote the guy out. Sounds complicated I know but trust me it's not.

Don't fret, you'll have a front row seat to the process starting in November.

Mom is going about her way not paying a bit of attention and the kid is throwing a fit. Mom has tuned him out and he gets louder.

So, mom is teaching him a lesson in life. While everyone around wants and is telling the mom to give him the toy, to shut him up.



In the old days, the kid would have got something to cry about by mom, for the world to see.
I'm as liberal as the day is long and my kids were never allowed to scream like that. And I didn't give them whatever they wanted, either.

Poor parenting isn't a partisan issue.

There it is... the sheep calling other sheep sheep.

If a person votes for a candidate simply because they have a letter they are the sheep.

The uber-left still wish Clinton was the president. An astonishing wish considering we would have more regulations, no tax reform, zero immigration reform with more EO deferrals, and more wars.

It's painfully obvious that progressives are truly regressive. It's hard to take someone seriously when they claim the right are a cesspool while standing knee deep in your own.

Good luck with that. The House of Cards that was built over the last 30 years is falling apart. Trump was voted in for the very reasons and through the same process you refer to above, yet the left and you have deemed it illegitimate. How did discounting and calling 65M people "deplorable" work out for you guys?

Keep in mind the tax cuts haven't even kicked in yet and his overall approval is climbing, especially on the economy.

I was never a cheerleader for the guy, but the way the left has acted for more than 16 months is so creepy that I could never take any candidate they choose seriously. Now we have Kerry resurrecting himself? OMG! 2020 is shaping up to become the year of the wildcards for the left. Maybe Clinton can run again if she isn't in prison.

I always joked about them being like the Borg, but now it has manifested itself to be true.

It's good that you take comfort in these things, steven. If that's what it'll take for you to get through the next couple of years then so be it. I would never seek to deprive a person of the safe spaces they create for themselves to avoid thinking of the unpleasantries that are about to befall them. Going to be a tough two years for you.

Their goal is to divert attention away from the disaster that's unfolding in the White House.

On the outside they extol their leader to no end but on the inside they're dying. Yup dying just a little bit more every day.
The more they are backed into a corner, the crazier and more disjointed the posts, because it becomes harder and harder to have any kind of coherent argument for why they continue to support Trump. It's all you have left when you are forced into a position like that.

There you go again, trying to turn an argument on itself without actually coming up with a rational argument. I don't require a safe space, I'm not even sure how you made that leap.

Try using those critical thinking skills you were blessed with at birth rather than regurgitating canned responses and daily memes handed out to parrot.

I guess you don't get out much. It's becoming easier and easier for them and now many of us that never supported him in the first place.

Just because you ignore what's actually happening doesn't mean the majority are as well. The average corporate worker and Mom and Pop small business (who don't have much free time for forum banter) they are jumping for joy over what's happening. "It's the economy stupid" applies.

I don't believe for a minute that the fringe extremists are going to get what they want. Even with all the rhetoric from the left, they are still coming back to the table and most likely giving Trump 3 of the 4 things he wants, and a partial on the fourth.

This is what is driving the progressives insane! I'm stoked for that!!

Nope not a canned response, steven. I stand by what I said.

Oh, don't you worry, I still see people beating their kids in public once in a while. They're almost always trailer trash types, who don't seem to be the most well-adjusted sorts themselves.

Small wonder if those kids grow up thinking that raging out is the way to get their way - in politics as well as in life.
