Can you imagine if Obama had....

[Quixote1818]

Can you imagine if Obama had won his election getting 3 million less votes than McCain, was caught saying he can grab women by the pussy, was married to a woman who had posed naked in lesbian photo shoots who was an immigrant from another country and the Democrats had gone nuclear like Republicans did so Dems would only need a majority and not 60 votes to get a Dem onto the Supreme Court. Then he put on an ultra left wing pick who screamed that the GOP was out to get him who had several sexual assault allegations and claimed his talk about (just one of many examples) devil's triangles in college was about a drinking game and not a threesome (perjury). Not to mention he or she would probably tip the balance of the Supreme Court for as long as 40 years. Then Obama went out and said "Men are the real victims" and mocked the woman who was making the accusations against his pick? Here are a few other dandy's and the list is far, far, far longer than this: Had used his foundation to steel from children's charities, lied about his income taxes and wealth (his rich daddy gave him 400 million and bailed him out numerous times from bankruptcies), had a good chunk of his cabinet indicted and found guilty, praised Putin and Kim Jong Un and attacked the FBI and CIA. Try to fathom that. Really put the image in your brain of Obama having done all this and what the reaction would be right now.

Republicans would be ready to NUKE the Supreme Court right now!

2. "If we want to save some money lets just get rid of the [Supreme] court." - Bobby Jindal, June 2015

"The Supreme Court is completely out of control, making laws on their own, and has become a public opinion poll instead of a judicial body. If we want to save some money lets just get rid of the court."

3. It is inconceivable

Honestly and truly, the insane level of scandal is so commonplace for Trump and Co. that people are becoming numb to it all. Had even one of the items you listed occurred during Obama's tenure it would have been civil war.

7. But that's what separates Democrats and Republicans.

Not that Democrats are perfect, but Republican malfeasance and Republican hypocrisy are redundant phrases. To be Republican is to be incredibly corrupt, hypocritical and bigoted. They may as well be a different species.

As I keep saying, we aren't dealing with people who simply have a different view on the role of the federal government or tax policy. We're dealing with really awful people. Rotten to the core people. The last several decades, especially, have turned Republicans into monstrous people. Democrats need to start being more blunt in their assessment of the opposition. Yeah, it might inspire more deplorables to vote, but I think some brutal honesty would inspire even more persons of conscience (especially younger folks) to come out and vote.

We are experiencing an epidemic of ignorance and inhumanity. We're in a state of emergency.
