It may feel wrong to even utter the names “Obama” and “Trump” in the same sentence, but: there would be no ascending candidate Trump without President Obama. Trump is the anti-Obama.


I've been saying for years we couldn't have had a Reagan without a Carter, first.

Nor Carter without a Nixon + Ford.

Sure, as the decades roll on, Obama will be remembered for helping usher through historic healthcare reform, salvaging the US auto industry, rewriting the rules that govern Wall Street and overseeing economic growth that hasn’t been witnessed since the Great Depression ended.

Here, let me fix that for you:

And when the bill comes due they'll STILL be blaming Bush.

I find this worse:
QUOTE
While insisting that she didn’t agree with that opinion, Candace Cameron Bure suggested that the poll was “tricky,” as the Emancipation Proclamation question was buried in a line of queries about presidents taking executive actions. However, Behar would have none of it.

“We fought a war over that. The North won the war. So what is this executive action?” Behar offered. “It was also a war to eliminate slavery. So these people don’t know what they’re talking about.”

The war was not initially fought over slavery.  The EP freed exactly 0 slaves, nor said anything about their postwar status.  The 13th amendment didn't get by Congress until halfway through '64 and it wasn't ratified until after the war was over, and even that was at the barrel of a gun.  

Finally, first black Congressman in the south...
House: December 12, 1870, South Carolina
Senate: February 23, 1870, Mississippi

First black Congressman anywhere close to the north...
House: March 4, 1929, Illinois
Senate: January 3, 196-motherfucking-7, Massachusetts

1.  I don't think slavery should be a thing.

That being said...

2.  I know exactly what the EP was, and its intention, and its immediate lack of impact on slavery, and the fact that it did absolutely nothing, and depending on how the question was asked I am a literalist and even I may have stated "I didn't agree with it," or whatever.

3.  And I am reminded of The Man Show when they got a bunch of women to sign a petition to "End Womens Suffrage," because the women didn't know what it was and wanted to seem intelligent.

So this is just another bullshit propaganda piece to show the opposing side are just a bunch of subhuman monsters, and it wouldn't really be wrong to kill them, would it, before they can reinstitute slavery.  That shit is what is wrong with this country.

Ladies and gentlemen, the top 3 pachyderm candidates:
QUOTE
Donald Trump on Marco Rubio: "I go back and I see him with makeup. And it's like he's putting it on with a trowel."
Rubio on Trump: "The guy with the worst spray tan in America is attacking me for putting on makeup. Donald Trump likes to sue people. He should sue whoever did that to his face."
Trump on Rubio: "He has really large ears, the biggest ears I've ever seen."
Rubio on Trump: "And you know what they say about guys with small hands."
Ted Cruz on Trump: "Multiple news reports have reported about his dealings with, for example, S&A Construction, which was owned by "Fat Tony" Salerno, who is a mobster who is in jail. It is owned by two of the major New York crime families."

Some other time I linked a site that said 25% of the population had some diagnosable mental illness.
