(3,728 posts)I lost track a long time ago regarding the hypocrisy of republicans vis a vis Obama or any democrat vs trump.
Bragging about grabbing them by the pussy and getting away with it.
Keeping 30+ appointees including his son-in-law in a position to view sensitive intelligence despite not having proper clearance.
Said "do you think our country is so innocent" when reminded Putin is a killer.
Said "no one knew healthcare would be so complicated".
The list is endless.

(445 posts)the media is owned by the one percent. Billionaires create millionaires to go on their tv shows and carry water for the elite ruling class. They are the enablers of the conservative mythos.

(34,195 posts)Heard that recently about 'the Donald'.
BTW - I heard again that a few weeks ago.
A woman was telling about Trump pursuing her some years ago by constantly phoning her and saying:
"Hi. This is the Donald."
Imagine Obama referring to himself as "the Barack"?

(7,814 posts)wealth and power among themselves and rule over the rest in a world wide political, physical, and social coup.
Govt and media watchdogs are missing the forest for the trees. The indiscretions of one oligarch and the attempted murders by another and the seizure/exposure of another's sexy 250 million dollar yacht and increasing control of democratic elections are symptoms of the techtonic shifts taking place...but are dwarfed by the underlying dynamics of the world's criminal billionaire class reaching enough critical mass to exert power when and where they want to create durable, nearly impenetrable dynasties.
Look at everything through this lens and the headlines about US tax cuts, deregulation, stagnant wages, attempted murders, overturning trade deals, meetings with Duterte and Un and Putin and UAE, secret bank servers, etc...become different.

(3,166 posts)depending upon the timing of them, he probably would have lost the 2008 primary election..
And if everything would have occurred after the election, then he certainly would have never gotten reelected...
