Can't remember all the times I heard republicans cry about king Obama and Emperor Obama due to his executive orders. LOL All Trump has done since taking office is Tweet inappropriately, continue his victory tour and write many many many executive orders.
Sending in the feds is ok if your guy is in office.
I did not see one fema camp meme when trump signed the order to increase tenfold the number of border detainee facilities, I guess for mexicans concentration camps is a okay!
Where's all the butt hurt over not being able to practice your religion (like not making gay cakes) when the Muslim ban got signed? Oh that's not for Christian america so it's okey dokey Trumpolumpa!
Trump just had a meeting with republicans behind closed doors to discuss cutting social security, cutting medicare and medicaid, cutting food stamp funding, planned parenthood funding and and other funding for Obamacare.
It was behind closed doors because even republicans like those programs.
The worst of Bush's deficit spending was after the Republicans lost the House and Senate. As much as I have hated the irresponsible ways the Republicans have spent money, the numbers don't lie.
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
You guys can twist what I say anyway you want and if I offend you good. Trump is an idiot and I'm going to criticize every move he makes for the next 4 years loudly and proudly. There is a complete moron in the office of POTUS. And he is dangerous to us all.
And yes if it came down to civil war as eve and I were discussing and Trumpians vs libs, yes I would blast Trumpians in the face every time.
Now you guys wanted to twist that into death threats playing word games. 40 started and you picked it up. I don't care what you think of me, never have and never will.
I made no threats to anyone, period. So twist that up and smoke it.

It was never about Trump winning for them. It was about them being tired of losing to liberals. Conservatives were willing to win no matter the cost.
I'm still waiting to hear how Trump is centrist. Nobody has a response for. I'm glad though. He needs to go extreme right so when the country goes intro another crisis the pendulum will swing the other way.
You've shown your true colors on here. That's cool. That's how you feel. I can only imagine what you say in real life.
Let's just clarify here, okay?
You're good with calling someone an ape. Even the president of the U.S.
You're good with threatening to "blast trumpians in the face".....yet, you backed that down to just hitting them, and now you back that down to "only in a civil war, but yes, I'd blast them in the face every single time."
Wow, you are exactly the type of person you proclaimed not to be.
I will just say now that I most likely won't ever use derogatory terms on Trumps appearance unless it's tongue and cheek making fun of people who do use those phrases. I also don't wish harm on him or his supporters. I hate the riots, but I'm cool with peaceful protests. I'd rather engage in discussion with them. However, that's easier for me to say than for a guy like Cold to say, because I'm not him.
Never backed down to anything in my life there arch, I merely told you I was talking about blasting with my fist when 40 called it making death threats. Guns never crossed my mind because unlike y'all I don't measure myself by my guns.
And as a person we could have beers and a good time, but our politics will never mesh, our religions (I HAVE NONE) will never mesh and our personalities (I'm type A) will never mesh I would assume. So there it is plain as day.
Now the big difference with me and what you accuse me of being is that I am a kind and caring person and do care about all people. I do however dislike stupid a lot; people who refuse to learn or even try. You know the type, so stupid they can't tell that they are stupid. And I also can't stand when a weak minded person thinks I'm weak for being a liberal or caring about things like the planet over money. I used to be a republican except for the scared of everything part, that's relatively new. I grew up when you took your difference out the backdoor to settle, so I'm not going to cry when told I would be afraid in a civil war between right and left because y'll have most the guns. I do not scare so easily.

Candy I don't dislike any of these guys on here, they just like to come after me from time to time. I enjoy the joust.

Brother that's why I didn't want to say anything further. It gets heated sometimes.
And as far as what I say about Trump and it offending them, do you think they called Obama "Mr. President"? lol
The shoe is on the other foot now and they are doing what republicans do, play the victim card. Whiny little GOP.
Gay rights hurt their religious feelings because of cakes.
Abortion hurts their religious feelings because children are sacred until they're born then you cut their food stamps and starve them, their education funds to keep them stupid, kill them with bombs in other countries, or kill them with guns that they won't regulate even slightly. Also because abortion empowers women with the right to control their own bodies and we can't have that. Think Trump will advocate for those gals?
Gun rights was handed down by moses along with them tablets.
I could go on all day. I've never seen a republican that wouldn't sell their soul for a buck and the right to telll me how to live.
The other side of that is If Obama wasn't Heck bent on shoving all of these mandates down our throats, Then their would be no need to do what Trump is doing. I think we all can see that.
Which brings up another point. I seem to remember Obamas mandates being called illegal, but now Trumps are hailed as saving America
Anyway, Obama didn't mandate the FDA to do much of anything that it wasn't already doing. There are other examples but neither of us want to make this a peeing contest.
Ok,, I can't, I have to say this. If the Republicans were more willing to work with Democrats, most of this nonsense could have been avoided. Give and Take was tossed out the window. Hell, we had it back when Clinton was president.... but not with Obama.
Not sure why!
Not sure why went out the window when Obama told congress it did not matter what they thought of his tactics that he would get around them with mandates. His being bull-headed with congress is why Trump has to do what he is doing.
I don't remember him ever saying that. Not that he didn't, but I don't remember it at all.
As for him being bull headed, what the heck do you expect, they pretty much told him and everyone else from the get go, they were going to stand in his way at every turn.
What choice did he actually have.
It's a two way street and both sides during the Obama Admin should have been taken out to the woodshed. Neither was doing the work "FOR THE PEOPLE" they were working on their own agendas and not in the best interest of Americans.
Trump talks a good game, but let's see how it plays out.

Thought I would post it here as you won't see much of it in the Media like you do when some Liberal/Progressive march is on.
I see posts like this, and OCD's post in the other thread, and I honestly have to ask, do you guys really not see that you are exemplifying the very core of the most obvious and grave problem going on in this country?

Dawglover05, in reality I hope Trump does some good things after all we are stuck with him for 4 years. I'll let you in on a small secret; I'm a progressive liberal and an Atheist on a board where republicans and christians outnumber me about 50-1. My good friends with different views like 40 love to stir the pot so i stir back. My rhetoric in real life is much more tame than on the board. I have friends and family that are Trump supporters and even though we might take a poke at each other once in a while, we would never go where I'm willing to go with these guys.
I used to think 40 and company were trolls. And would go out of my way to shut him down. Now I understand the term "don't feed the trolls" because you begin to like them and even though they drive you nuts you really don't want to harm them. They are like the neighbor kid with mental issues that keeps jumping your fence to crap in your yard; you only through enough rocks to get him back on his side of the fence before he gets a chance to squat. It doesn't really matter how often you pelt him with stones, tomorrow he IS coming back over that fence; so it becomes a game.
Being outnumbered like we are, me and my kind have to throw a lot of rocks at many many very special and wonderful neighbors.
And before one of my special friends tries to twist this into me literally throwing rocks at special kids; let me state right now that I only do that sort of thing here.

Lie. The first time you used the term 'blast Trumpians in the face' was in reference to the 'civil war' you were referring to about the pipeline.
You are definitely walking things back. You didn't mean punching anyone in the face.
You are now on the level you put 40 on.
And you didn't even vote for president. You got what you asked for (or didn't even try to not get by voting for someone).
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM my two cents...

Lie.
Trump is that you? GMAB Ted, you are in 40s hip pocket and one of his comrades in arms, partners in crime, whatever you want to call it. I'm not going to bite. I know what I said, what I meant and even if I 'walked it back' I didn't back down but set the record straight when being accused of making death threats. 40 knew damn good and well that was no death threat.
OCD is going hard in the paint. keep it up bro, keep schooling these dudes.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
40 knew damn good and well that was no death threat.
He talks down about me at length but gives me credit for being a mind reader.
You said it, you meant it, you crossed the line. Alt-facts will not save you. Apologize and be done with it.
or what? You live in a fantasy of some sort. Were one of your parents in those LSD studies back in the day? I just can't figure out how you ever understand anything in your bubble of fear, unless it's all an act and you are just fake news. You might not be a mind reader but you are a good manipulator and adept at stirring the pot.

I apologize if I took your post out of context. I also don't like singling people out, but I just happened to see the conversation and relate it back to a situation that I have become so frustrated with since I feel it represents a problem that is so obvious, yet I feel people are willfully blind to it.
One thing I often contemplate is how we are one of the youngest first world countries, but I believe we have the oldest government/constitution of all first world countries (someone may want to fact check me on that).
One of the core concepts of the constitution was to democratically incorporate the will of the states and the public at large into a set of laws where the majority ruled, but the minority's rights were protected. Another - one that I feel people often forget - is that this government was not founded on the concept of a champion, but actually on an inherent mistrust of elected officials. The system of checks and balances was so innovative at the time, and very intricately designed. The system was designed for intelligent, well-debated ideologies which would hopefully result in negotiated laws aimed at public welfare.
In the last couple decades (seemingly exacerbated at each passing election), things have horribly drifted. We now have people on both sides who seek to BLINDLY champion a politician - giving them credit regardless of cause - while irrationally vilifying the opposing politician/voters. I suppose this has been made easier since fear and anger are much more gripping emotions than temperance, compassion, and rationality.
Each side has been more concerned with beating each other over the head, rather than trying to work something out. The mud-slinging is at an all-time high. Politicians are lying to their own constituents to stoke anger and fear, which bolsters the politicians grip on power...mean while, We The People, eat it up and go at each others' throats. Who really wins in that scenario...besides the politicians.
As far as you talking about this board, I don't see the board from your perspective, as I am Christian. I am not a liberal progressive, and I don't like political classifications since I believe them too narrowing. If I HAD to pick an affiliation, I would have to go with libertarian for myself. I never really thought that the conservatives on this board had much more of a powerful presence, but I could be wrong.
I respected your views on Sanders. One thing I will say is that I may not have agreed with Bernie's solutions, but I very much respected that he called out the REAL problems that exist...not the sensational BS that Hillary and Donald through back and forth at each other. I did lose a lot of respect for Bernie when he submitted to Clinton the way he did. I thought he should have stood up. He may not have won, but I think he would have inspired more accountability at least on that side of politics.
Sorry for the long post, but I've been holding in this sentiment for a while. Maybe nobody reads it, but at least I feel good that I put it out there.
Unlike many on this board, I am always open to intelligent discussion on this kind of stuff.
