Donald thinks he should receive an extra 2 years as president as "reparations" for the "Mueller Coup"

I'm an independent, as well.

Things were bad during the "Long Hot Summer" of '68 -- riots everywhere. People practically burned down Watts. Assassinations. All of which led us to a law and order candidate, like Trump. That's essentially why he got elected. Folks got tired of things spinning out of control. This man talked tough, and they figured America needed a "strongman" to set things right.

Me, I'd lived long enough to know that Trump had a rep for big talk, strutting like a rooster, and being something of a national joke. Did older people forget, or did they just think, "Anyone but Hillary!"? My guess is they held their noses and voted for Trump because they didn't like that "total transformation of America" that Obama had promised and actually delivered. If they'd asked themselves, "Do you really want America to be like the Democratic Socialism of Europe?" they'd have likely said, "Heck NO!" But America votes in pendulum swings.

Before, America calmed down and got ahold of itself. It's not happening this time. In the sixties, the "revolution" was driven by young people who eventually grew older, got jobs -- one of the biggest "revolutionaries" got a job on Wall Street -- and they learned to be responsible. The system's changed enough to allow people to hang onto their teenage rebellion stage for their whole lives, if they want to. I think it's broken for good this time.

Donald definitely holds the monopoly on saying stupid fcking things, no doubt.

"Except when AOC and Ilhan Omar say 'stupid, outrageous' things they can back them up." The sad part is you're not joking. AOC recently said that there's nothing wrong with the VA healthcare system. She has to say that because she wants national healthcare, and when she says that she's always greeted with people who'll laugh and say, "Oh, you mean like the VA?" So she just says that people aren't dying, waiting for healthcare they've promised. The same thing is actually happening in Medicare, although you don't hear about it as much, which is truly odd.

Ilhan Omar is an outright bigot who despises Jews and spews Palestinian propaganda. When she goes too far, she releases a perfunctory apology, then she's back bashing Jews at the same old stand. This attitude was considered appalling and was ridiculed by liberals in Hollywood when Vanessa Redgrave gave her pro-Palestinian propaganda speech at the Oscars long ago. But those twisted views are now mainstream in the Democrat Party.

Those are two loudmouths who have learned from Trump how to surf the news cycles. They don't get called on their errors by the liberals -- you just gave a fine example -- because liberals hang together and parrot party line. You have a problem when Trumpservatives do the same thing. It is to laugh.

But yes, Trump showed them that there's no day of reckoning on their side if they keep throwing red meat -- the more outlandish, the better -- to their crowd. In fact, there's no such thing as a moderate Democrat anymore. No one calls them out on the Dems' side. At least there's still conservatives who can't stand Trump and will call him out, but are willing to give him credit for an improved economy. The lower taxes are a joke, though.

^Standard come back from a deranged TDS’er. No facts or logic, just vile insults.

This is why Trump will be re-elected in a landslide...the left has zero platform and only hate in its collective heart.

How is this breaking the law?

That’s what I thought...snowflake.

Putin, Maduro, Erdoğan and other "elected" leaders find a way to change laws and create corrupt systems in order to stay in power. It's not unrealistic for Trump to do the same thing especially with the help of Russian interference, the Republican party's gerrymandering and breaking election laws and protections and Trump's brainwashed followers who show they don't care about democracy.

Never underestimate an autocrat.

Not really. When a nutcase looks at another nutcase, they aren't judging him...they're just recognizing someone like themselves.

"One of us...one of us..."
