Payback is a motherf**ker. For 8 years you Republican bastards

[KingCharlemagne]

have obstructed President Obama at nearly every turn, your latest stunt refusing to deliberate on his nominee to SCOTUS.

So yesterday, President Obama tied Trump around your puerile pissant necks, leaving you just enough air so that you remain conscious as Trump drains the last breaths from your putrid corpses.

Enjoy it, you Republican pricks. And know this: revenge is a dish best served motherf**king cold!

[katmondoo]

1. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!

[KingCharlemagne]

2. Historians and political scientists will still be talking about Obama's slam-dunk

100 years from now. im still speechless in awe.

By telling Ryan and McChinless to withdraw their endorsement, Obama made it politically impossible for them to do so. that is some serious motherf**king jiu- jitsu.

[madokie]

24. He is definitely head and shoulders above all of them

Makes me proud that our first black President is this man. I hope due to what he's been able to accomplish in spite of the republiCONs that we'll see many more minorities in the oval office. Not just Blacks either but Women, Mexican, hell Mexican women too, Native Americans also. Our country is much better for us having elected Barack Obama as our President. No one nationality or gender should have a lock on the Presidency as its been for way too long now

I've voted for him 3 times. once in the primary and twice in the generals. My most proud votes ever to I might add.

I love my President and first family, Michelle, the Kids, and Grandmother

I'm a proud assed Okie.
If I could change my moniker here I'd change it to Proud Okie

[MyOwnPeace]

62. Cute!

From now on I'll consider you as being THE "Proud Okie!"

You are so right - he has been SO much above the cloud of "crap" that the repubilCONS have thrown at them - dare I say it - a "Christian virtue" (turn the other cheek).

You GO, Proud Okie!

[MadCrow]

38. Bravo! Obama did it.

Caught the Repugs between a rock and a hard place.

[lamp_shade]

3. Bravo!!

[StrictlyRockers]

65. Every day this week President Obama is hitting Trump HARD!

I love it, and every time he does it I want to thank him and yell for more. Hit him harder!

It's working. Check the polls.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. AMEN, MY KING!

7. brava!!!! what would make it awesomely stupendous, and quite the cherry topper is this:

the story about the golf game in which WJC dropped the seed into the pumpkinhead about running for pres is TRUE!

[KingCharlemagne]

8. ROTFLMAO - OMG. Im trying not to gloat. - nt

[lonestarnot]

11. Doncha know it!

[madokie]

27. I'll aways believe it is true

While Dems work to make life better for all Americans the 'CONs spend their time trying to keep the dems from accomplishing anything and trying to get themselves re-elected. Most of us see through their bullshit.
I figured this out a long ass time ago.

[AllyCat]

49. Wait, what?

What is WJC? Did this happen?

90. I know.....that's why I added it here

did you see the reiner/mika/joe thread

their utterly clueless hypocrisy unmasked there

[Princess Turandot]

9. While in reality I would not want SCOTUS anywhere near another presidential election..

under any circumstances, I do have a fantasy..

The RNC dumps Trump, despite having no rule that allows them to do so.
Several states parties ask SCOTUS to stop them, even though they may not have jurisdiction over the issue.
The Notorious RBG smiles sweetly at the Republicans, and votes to do so, and her posse follows suit.
Then she looks at Kennedy, who says, 'they've been condemning me since Obergefell, Fischer and the Texas abortion law ruling. Fuck 'em. Let 'em hump Trump."

As they often say on SCOTUSblog, 5 justices can do whatever they want.

[calimary]

35. Actually, NO!!!! I do NOT want them to dump Trump!

I hope they have to slog all the way to November like this.

What we DO NOT want OR need, brothers and sisters, is for Trump to step aside. Because by ANY comparison, whoever they bring in will be widely viewed as a relief, a colossally more reasonable individual, and all the defectors will go racing back and standing in solidarity with the party they're now on the verge of abandoning.

So we'll get Pence and Worse-Than-Pence. How 'bout Pence/Brownback? Or Pence/Snyder? Or Pence/Gingrich? Mike Pence is an extremist religious fanatic dressed in sheep's clothing. He will do everything he can to impose Christian Sharia Law on America.

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! We need Trump to stay right where he is. Because he could be the one who finally takes this dreadful political party down to its collective death. And THAT is what we really - actually, what we DESPERATELY - need, to rehabilitate our beloved country.

[cannabis_flower]

61. +1000 ^^^THIS^^^

[Demobrat]

82. Except that if they dump Trump

the Trump supporters will all stay home. Trump did, after all, win the primaries. He is the people's choice. If the GOP dumps him there are going to be a lot of pissed off people and rightfully so. Those people will not flock to whoever gets installed.

[relayerbob]

84. I totally agree

They bought, now they get to pay for him

[calimary]

86. We have a really nasty expression around my house, but it sure seems to fit.

And definitely aimed at the GOP:

YOU crawled into bed with him. Now he gets to fuck you.

[JustAnotherGen]

89. Good, bad, indifferent

It would negate the votes of all of those people who voted for Trump. That is not how our Republic works. Trump won their nomination fair and square. My advice to their leadership is "dance with the one who brung ya".

[lonestarnot]

10. Honored to K & R this fucking thread!

[narnian60]

32. Same here!

[kairos12]

12. Rethugs current position: repudiate Orange Hitler and set off the Tea Party Crazies,

or stick with him and lose the vast, sane segment of the population. It is Drumpson's Choice indeed.

[KingCharlemagne]

53. LOL. They're damned if they do (repudiate) and damned if they don't, and

President Obama yesterday made it almost impossible for them to repudiate without being seen to be the sniveling little opportunistic punks they always have been.

[treestar]

13. Good rant!

[packman]

14. Come on KingCharlemagne - tell us how you REALLY feel

don't pussyfoot around - let it out!

[Paladin]

15. Nicely put. K&R. (nt)

16. Ah... sweet karma! Bwa-hahahahahaha!!!

17. Now to neuter these two assholes power in congress

GOTV for downticket Dems.

[Nitram]

18. Tell it like it is, brother!

[VWolf]

19. "revenge is a dish best served cold"

Appropriate that this line was used in "The Wrath of KHAN"

[Saviolo]

20. The GOP built this

They can own it. Let it drag them down like a millstone around their collective necks.

[ailsagirl]

46. They absolutely did

Ignoring all the danger signals, they plunged blithely ahead-- until they can no longer ignore the MESS they have made. I've been waiting for payback for years-- it's finally happening. Watch them squirm...no, PANIC

What a bunch of idiots that they didn't/couldn't see this coming

[Wednesdays]

58. And to think this is just the beginning

As the demographics change, each year their circle gets smaller and smaller.

[ailsagirl]

59. They brought about their own demise through their foolishness and hatefulness

[Auggie]

21. Huge K&R!!!

22. I couldn't' have said it better

You got this one down pat, no doubt

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

23. He should repeat the statement over and over...

Get that message imbedded in the publics mind.

[KingCharlemagne]

25. I think at least once per week! - nt :)

[FairWinds]

26. I really disagree with the statement ..

Last edited Wed Aug 3, 2016, 02:57 PM - Edit history (1)

that the Republicans, "have obstructed President Obama."

It is not obstruction, it is deliberate sabotage of Social Security,
Medicare, the Postal Service, K-12 public education.

I don't think this is a quibble.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. Oh hell YASSSSSSSSS!!!!

Damn I need a cigarette after that!!!

[calimary]

29. Hey CONS, remember: YOU Built This.

This is what your long-ago embrace of the worst of the racist South, and the Dixiecrats, has wrought.

This is what you get when you sidle up to the most extremist of the religious fanatics.

This is what you're left with when you've spent the last 30-40 years relentlessly teaching America to hate, resent, and be suspicious of government.

This is what results when you sow discord and hatred and divisiveness. And ENCOURAGE IT! And give it credibility and "respectability" and bring it out of the closet where everyone who used to keep that selfish antisocial and utterly Un-Christian crap to themselves can now stand up and be loud and proud about it! Thank you limbaugh, hate radio, Roger Ailes, and Pox Noise!

These are the conditions you created when you tried to push your idiot trickle-down economics on people, and convince them it'll work. Yeah! It'll WORK! This time it'll work! For sure! Believe me! This I can tell you.

This is what you're left with when you encourage sexism, racism, jingoism, and the worst and basest instincts of "humanity".

This is how it ends when you tilt the playing field, gerrymander the districts so the worst of the worst can easily get elected BY the worst of the worst, and then stay in power. So you've locked this inevitable conclusion in.

This is what happens when your having indulged and reveled in the worst, which inevitably then begets - and then births - the teabagger movement, with you as the collective midwife.

YOU BUILT THIS. Happy now?




On edit - I somehow forgot to add Pox Noise (and Roger Ailes) in the 4th paragraph. Shows how much all of this has started to get to me...

[rustbeltvoice]

36. Well, yes. Yes, indeed.

[MyOwnPeace]

63. What a fantastic.........

statement - and ALL so true!

This needs to be posted in every MSM paper in the USA - and preached (ok, forget the "preached/religion" connection) for the next 3 months!

You nailed it - now share it!

34. Trump is falling too fast and scaring the GOP

This is a problem for us. I have known (as have many others) that Trump cannot be Hillary. The GOP has an uphill battle to begin with but with Trump alienating people at every turn, it makes it unwinnable.

If they replace Trump with a moderate Republican, one that everyone likes, it may make for a challenge for Hillary.

I am not sure if this has ever been done before or how the GOP would accomplish this as their party will be fragmented beyond compare.

[rocktivity]

57. "If they replace Trump with a moderate Republican, one that everyone likes" -- but who?

If there was such a Republican, could he pick up enough Dem/liberal moderate/independent voters, where has he been since 2008, and more to the point, why hasn't be beaten out McCrazed™, R-Money™, or Duh Donald™?

You can't replace him, period. It's all over, folks.

37. Molly Ivins, bless her soul...

helped set my heart at ease years ago after the "re-election" of Shrub with this editorial. http://www.alternet.org/story/20413/mourning_in_america. If you've never seen it, read it now. It immediately came to mind after reading this

So yesterday, President Obama tied Trump around your puerile pissant necks, leaving you just enough air so that you remain conscious as Trump drains the last breaths from your putrid corpses.

The Republican Party wired that chicken around their necks when they cheated Junior into The White House. With an 8 year respite of fresh air from Obama, even they didn't notice the stench...until now. As I'd like to think Molly would say, "Chin up, dearies! This should be good."

[niyad]

40. oh, how I miss Molly!!

[WinstonSmith4740]

43. I think we all do...

I just can't help but think about how much fun she would be having right now. OMG, there wouldn't be enough hours in the day to publish what she would be writing!

Never thought I'd see the day of the Republican Party self destructing.
And I must say, it's sweeeeeeeeeeeeet !!
Almost makes the last 8 years worth it ... Almost?
Nah. Tons of more work to be done to totally annihilate the Republican Party from the bottom up.
Every House Seat
Every Senate Seat
Every Governorship
Kick them all out !!

[Stellar]

48. Giving this thread a big @** kick!

[dubyadiprecession]

51. We will also make them pay at the polls for not giving Garland a confirmation hearing!!...

Nothing will be forgotten in november Mr. McConnell !!!

[Ilsa]

54. The GOP destroyed media credibility. Now the mainstream gop

is upset that the tea party crowd isn't listening to the media on the clear danger trump presents.

[totodeinhere]

55. I will probably get flamed for saying this, but I don't think that the attitude displayed in this OP

is the right one going forward. And it's not what President Obama said and I don't think it's what he wants. In fact he has said that many Trump supporters have legitimate grievances. It's just that they have hitched their wagon to the wrong star. And our nominee Hillary Clinton in her wisdom is actively campaigning for the support of Trump's white blue collar base.

We are all Americans or immigrants striving to become Americans. Republicans are our neighbors and our relatives. My parents are both staunch Republicans and they are some of the nicest people you could ever meet. And yes they support Donald Trump. But my mother is also the type of person who carries dog food around in the trunk of her car so she can pass it out to homeless people with pets that she encounters. And she also gives them handouts with information about various services in the community available to them. But yes she is a Republican. She has never known anything else. And while she doesn't approve of everything Trump says, she believes that things are so bad in this country that we need someone like Trump to stir things up. Of course she is dead wrong but she doesn't realize that.

I sense real anger and petulance in this OP. And I understand why. Many of the tactics employed by the Republicans over the years have bred division in this country, but don't you see that your attitude will only perpetuate that division? And what we need in this country right now is to come together, not move further apart.

So I got that off my chest. Now flame away if you wish.

[KingCharlemagne]

60. No flames headed your way (from me, anyway). I take great delight in

seeing Republican leaders who have for too long danced with the Devil but not gone home with Him get hoist with their own petard.

To wit, Republicans now cannot repudiate Trump or they will be seen to have surrendered to President Obama and thereby lose the 35-40% of their base that are Trumpistas. On the other hand, if they fail to repudiate Trump, they risk losing the 55-60% of non-Trumpistas (the so-called 'moderate Republicans') who are ripe for the picking.

That's some serious payback to McChinless and Ryan for their stunts over the years.

[MyOwnPeace]

[blueseas]

69. K&R

Yes, why did they obstruct?? Now get what you so deserve.

[maddiemom]

71. Concisely said:

Too bad we can't erase eight years of blatant obstruction of Obama; eight years of Cheney/Bush government now trying to blame the Iran fiasco on Clinton and Obama, eight years of egregious Reagan worship, then eight years of pursuing of the Clintons ( I love that the Obamas have been hard to malign). Could the Repugs get themselves together to actually govern? Maligning and obstructing their "opponents" as a way of governing seems to be all the Republicans have offered for decades. Trump is no surprise.

On slugs is this dying of the sociopath party.
Disgusting horrible but you can't help but watch in horrified fascination as it dies in its own slime. Lol.

[mtasselin]

94. great piece

Great piece, but get ready for round 2 when Hillary is elected the republicans will have their secret meeting and vow never to do anything and the American people will suffer.

[KingCharlemagne]

97. Trump almist single-handedly has put the Senate and now

possibly the House into play. The latest FOX poll has her up by +10. If that trend continues or accelerates, many Repubs may stay home on Nov. 8. means HRC could have a DEM Congress for at least her first two years.

[INdemo]

95. 8 years?

True when you are referring to the Anti-Obama strategy by Congress but what about the Trickle Down Economy Theroy that only worked for the rich for a total of nearly 50 years?

But...the hell-of- it is there are hundreds of Trump Yard signs across this Red County in this Solid Red State of Indiana which I believe Hillary will carry in the General
