like they did to Gore, Kerry, and even Romney. I guess maybe because his flips and flops are really mostly lies?

(16,927 posts)John Kerry, an American war hero and veteran, would have the T-hats out there with beach flip-flops smacking them as he would be speaking. Ignorant, dim-witted M-Fers wouldn't deserve to even clean up after his dog - and they're doing this shit to him?
So, where are they now?

(22,976 posts)Not that he would, but imagine Barack Obama wanting to put high-profile liberals on the Federal Reserve board, with the sole qualification being that theyre good guys and friends of mine.
Or holding rallies in Oakland, Detroit and Chicago, where the audiences were predominantly POC Obama up in front, ripping Republicans for two hours-plus every time, calling them sick, very sick people.
Or installing his family in positions requiring security clearances.
Or saying, I could shoot somebody and not lose voters.
Or eating cheeseburgers in bed, while talking nightly to a network news personality who can further his agenda while on-air.
Or tweeting insane shit in the dead of night.
Just pick anything off the Trump menu of behavior, and Obama would have been crucified for it. As it was, Republicans treated him like shit, stonewalled him, criticized him for wearing a tan suit, blocked his SCOTUS pick, dug around endlessly for birth certificates, harassed his Secretary of State for years, etc. And the ACA was characterized as a power grab...trampling the Constitution.
And theres Trump, idiotically hobnobbing with the worlds worst (and most lethal) dictators, sometimes behind closed doors with no witnesses. Doing something outrageous every day what Steve Bannon called flooding the zone with shit.
This is NOT okay. None of it is okay. Under Trump, America has been transformed into the worlds bully: xenophobic, racist to the core, intolerant of dissent, dismissive of women, belligerent toward long-term allies.
Why does Trump get to be the freest man in America (for now)? Because hes THE worlds biggest white victim of (gasp!) imagined liberal oppression?
