The worst was the email leak. The DNC saying all the people voting for them were a bunch of fucking morons...and it didn't phase any of their voters....just unreal.
I hate both sides but I'm never voting for whichever candidate the DNC pushes ever again.

If you think Paul ryan and Mitch McConnell think any differently about their voters, you are sadly mistaken.

As someone who has had health issues, you sure don't seem very concerned.

So republicans are more dangerous than groups who blow up innocent children at concerts and have literally crucified Christian families?
yeah that's not a partisan statement at all.....

No outrage over the mosque killing either though right?

This a religious war and I refuse to be sucked in. You're fighting over symbols not morality. And I leave symbols to the symbol minded.

Complete retraction. Absolutely hysterical.  Lynch is going to be in front of the Senate and Bernie is under FBI investigation for fraud.  Lucky no one I know of posted conspiracy theories about collusion for months.   How embarrassing that would be.

Isn't Flagg entitled to play the Hillary card for a year?

Fair is fair....

That's rich.

You are so partisan that the people you support deeming you a moron means nothing as long as you think the other side labels their voters morons too.

Wow.

In our discussion about this when it first broke, I said both sides feel the same but the repubs not stupid enough to actually put it in writing.

At least there might be a miniscule shred of doubt about their feelings but the dems put it on front street.

Its beyond defending and you know it.

They also mocked their black voter base. You have issues with republicans and their supposed racial stance but when dems mock blacks, its another item that gets placed in your peaches and cream category.

Spare me your faux concern.  The system is broken. Someone paying hundreds a month should not have to wait months on end for tests when they have cancer symptoms. If I had cancer, it would've spread by the time I got the results back.

Just wait until you have a major health scare. That's when you'll stop praising this garbage. You live in a big city if memory serves me correctly so might not wait as long but your eyes will be opened.


This issue is beyond blue/red garbage but as long as the country's partisans stay busy cheering on their favorite team, its all fine and dandy.

A pathetic strawman. You didn't mention specific terrorist attacks. You made an idiotic blanket statement about republicans being more dangerous than ISIS.

YOU are the one that clearly has no outrage over any terrorist attacks or you never would've said such a thing.

You're one of the types who considers it all a partisan game until you've been personally impacted by it. That much is obvious.

Oh the irony. The guy here who cant see anything beyond the red/blue teams claims to leave symbols to the symbol minded.

1) Dems never said that about their voters. It was rated "false" by snopes.

2) There goes pathological liar Flagg again. One story was retracted. And it was retracted because it didn't adhere to their standards (only one anonymous source was provided.) Doesn't mean jack shit at the end of the day. Unlike rightwing outlets, at least they pulled the story.

3) In the meantime, Trump finally admitted that Russia meddled in our election. On Twitter, like an idiot. Fox News is now saying that collusion isn't illegal, and nearly everybody, including Trump's own laywer...has retained lawyers. They know what lays ahead, unlike those in total denial of reality.

4) They've been investigating Bernie's wife and haven't found anything yet. Clearly, she's done nothing wrong...right? Isn't that what you pinheads say?

5) Mueller has put together a serious investigative team, and Carter has spent 10 hours without a lawyer present speaking to the FBI.

Also from Newsweek, not sure if you saw this or it was posted here, this point into Obama's term Fox News was criticizing him for using Dijon mustard lol.

I still get a kick out of this elitist food thing and how the repubs can manipulate it. What I love about it is how it actually works. Such a simple and effective tool to rile up a base.

Back in 2004 when Kerry was spotted putting provolone on a Philly cheese steak there were almost riots in the streets. It was better than Obama's Dijon Burger-gate although that one caused people to spaz out too.

For a few years after that when shopping at Safeway and ordering sandwiches at their deli, the moment they would ask if I wanted dijon on their smokestack sandwich it would always make me think of that incident. Sometimes I would comment, "No just put the yellow. I'm not an elitist" and they'd know exactly what I was referring to.

That's effective propaganda.

so much to proud of.........

I probably should've said this in the original post because of how bad the pic really is, but if you look at the mugs in the lower right-hand corner you can see Trump and Melania mugs there as well. Somehow I don't think the Obamas featured on one of those mugs when they were the first couple.

But like I said, I wasn't really trying to make a point, I just thought it was funny.

It is funny. I didn't see them.

What would be even funnier is if one of Trump's companies was producing those mugs.

I honestly feel really bad for Trump supporters. It's sad to see the behavior and defense. It's not as bad as twitter, people have no shame and bask in their ignorance.

Trump is such a terrible president, not because he's damned if does or doesn't, or no one is giving him a chance. He's a liar, a complete and total con man with zero integrity.

If you're still bringing up your predecessor's name in defending yourself, resign. It's over.

All this faux outrage....I hate when white people get so upset...they are the core of our country...

No...I have little feelings of sympathy for either side...that's all I'm saying...but luckily no one gives a fuck what I think, so things will just carry on the way they have...

but wrap yourself in the red, white and blue cardigan....or jesus cross...whichever you choose....and aid in the fight to inch closer to war. Nothing makes a conservatives more proud that shooting off guns at brown people. The best part is....between shots, you can go shopping at Wal-mart. Shooting at brown people and shopping at Wal-mart...nothing makes me feel more American.

Just wait until I have a major health scare? Republicans are going to make it so that people like you won't have health insurance....so when I go in for care, things will be just fucking dandy.

That is humorous to me though....Republicans think free healthcare is socialism. However, they complain about healthcare being too expensive or it takes too long....this that or the other thing. Healthcare should be affordable but not free, right? Wait...that's not it...the standard Republican stance is....it doesn't matter until it directly affects me....then when it does I will bitch about it. That's when it finally matters.

Let's just create a healthcare system where sick people aren't covered...that should make it cheaper for everyone! Right?!

The all mighty dollar speaks again. Even your political party doesn't care about your health...but you'll be damned if you ever stop supporting them, right?
