    Remember the coffee cup salute?

    Years later Trump would literally salute North Korean soldiers and the right couldn’t give a shit.

      The “terrorist fist jab” as well …

      Trump supporters have no morals.

    All that tan suit outrage bullshit is for the mentally discombobulated right wingers and it works surprisingly well.

      Is it weird that I actually didn’t see the mustard thing or the suit? My family had the Hannity hate channel on 24-7 but most of what I absorbed was when operation 2fast2furious happened and then the cash for clunkers program. Oh and they were big mad about the Nobel award. Not the drone strikes though, Fox didn’t really seem to mind that

        And let me guess, it was all Obama’s fault, no mention that it was started under dubya?

          Don’t know, don’t really care. The dude ran with a lot of things dubya started, I think I have less opinions about cartels and where they get guns from then I do about drone warfare.

          Maybe I should examine that but I’m kind of on some other shit than Obama these days?

            Oh, right there with you, it was one of many programs he continued that absolutely should have been stopped, much like the drone program. My comment was more aimed at the fact that the right cared about the gun running scandal (because they could lie by omission and blame Obama for it), but other items they couldn’t be blamed on Obama so they kept their mouths shut about it.

            What a fucking sad state of affairs that Obama is one of the best presidents of my lifetime, but at this point the bar is low enough that subway tunnels have no worries about ever coming in under it. But considering the only other 2 Democrat administrations in my lifetime caused a rightward shift that wasn’t mainly based on racism (Clinton’s third way, Biden doing fuck all about the new ANP), that says so fucking little. But, finding any reason to push America towards Daddy Prescott’s vision from back in the early-mid 1900s is all they’re about.

              Ooh. Yeah that probably was their angle.

              Well said, I do have a lot of baggage with the dude. But my only other points of reference are G-dubs and the Clintons so by comparison (and nobody else really stands for comparison) he is for sure the best we had. Kind of sucks waking up to the reality that our ideas of benevolent leaders are tied to an idea of America that has never existed in our lifetime.

          Which left? Left like CNN enjoyers or left like well anyone else? Because I found a lot of people here who are progressive but got over his shit real fast. Most of the leftists I associate with IRL did too. But that’s not a kind of leftist you’re really supposed to get to know about

    rrrrRRRRReeEEEe HE PUT HIS FEET ON THE DESK!!!

    … As did literally every other President at at least one point, in the prior 25 years, at least.

    Actual tabloid bullshit, even back when ‘tabloid bullshit’ was discernably different than ‘content’.

      That’s the entire philosophy. You should hear the way they talk about people who they fundamentally agree with but didn’t succeed at their goals. Worse than actual political enemies
