Laughing Stock

[domroger]

Congratulations Republicans you have now made America great again ,the greatest laughing stock .

 

[Tongue_Twisted]

Bernie would have beaten him. Maybe the DNC shouldn't have rigged the primary in favor of Hillary....
Nobody to blame for this outcome but yourselves

That honor goes to Obama.

Oh.

I thought this was self descriptive of the original poster.

. . .as if anyone ever notices, much less responds to your tepid posts. If people actually noticed you, they would surely laugh, and not only for the hillariously delusional name you picked for yourself, DomElliotRodger

Totally unsubstantiated opinion- and I'm being generous using that word- on your part. While I am not a great fan of Trump, comments like yours are just so insipid- I mean, mindless venting may have place, by why dedicate a thread to it?

Speaking of laughing stocks, both Putin and Rafsanjani & Co. ran circles around Obama, causing the US to lose respect in the world. Didn't seem to bother people like you, who simply indulge in vacuous comments about Republicans and Trump.

Even though I disagree with Bernie about almost everything- from socialism to the Middle East- I would have considered voting for him (voting for Hillary was never an option in my mind). But I felt at least that I knew where he stood.

Nevertheless I stand by my opinion and it is substantiated by his actions since becoming President .
I have no quarrel with the GOP just with Trump ,who first came to my attention in the 70's .

Along with the Nobel Peace Prize. Laughing stock indeed...

On what basis do you think a self-proclaimed Socialist (horrors!) would have beaten Trump? The DNC may have unfairly supported Hillary in the primaries, but that's a far cry from "rigging" them. That's just Trump talk. And I respectfully suggest that voter suppression, the absurd Electoral College system (Hillary did win the popular vote by 2.8 million votes), a fake news smear campaign (Benghazi! E-Mails!) and misguided "progressives" (I'm looking at Jill Stein voters & "Bernie Bros") who just couldn't bring themselves to vote for that shrill harpy as the lesser of two evils all factors in allowing Trump to be elected.

Oh, Heaven forbid the DNC support someone who actually is a member of the Democratic Party against someone who never really registered as such and never had done a damn thing for the party.

I was an enthusiastic Bernie voter in my state's primary. I'm not a Hillary fan by any stretch of the imagination (too cozy with Wall Street as are many other Dems) but to say that she's not a member of the Democratic Party ("registered" or not) is absurd. I respectfully suggest you compare her Senate voting record with other Dems and her advocacy for women's rights and public education etc, before blithely writing her off as "just another crooked politician."

Once Hillary got the nomination, I set aside my progressive pride and did the right thing by voting for her against a bona fide Fascist. Yes, that horrible lesser of two evils, but guess what? Less evil is better than more. Privileged progressives may have the luxury of maintaining their ideological purity by voting for a Jill Stein (shame on her as an MD pandering to anti-vaxers btw) or a Ralph Nader (how'd that work out?), but the working poor do not.

I suggest you read my post again. (You wasted all that argument.) It's Bernie who wasn't a member of the party and hadn't done a damn thing for the party (so why would he--or anyone else--expect the DNC to support him over Hillary?). Hillary paid her dues to the DNC in party support for decades. Bernie never even changed his Senate designation from Independent.

OOPS!! My profuse apologies for my lapse of reading comprehension! I hastily conflated your post with a previous one, and went on a tirade against misguided progressive purity and all that. Apologies again and united we stand etc...

We literally don't care if he is sucking Putin's dick at Mar-a-Lago.

This isn't about some ideologically pure crusade.

This is about payback for 8 years of Obama.

This about burning down every vestage of Obama's legacy and destroying as many liberal/progressive gains and institutions made over the last 80+ years as possible.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Awesome!!! Can we please go back to the economic collapse of 2008 please??!! Lets roll back 8 years of peace, economic growth and job creation!! I so miss those days of unemployment.

Let's see...80 years. that brings us to 1937.

Whoo hoo.

Still in the middle of the Great Depression, that's when America was REALLY great.

Did I say 80 years?

We need to go back further.

Party like it's 1861!

 

[KingOrfeo]

That honor goes to Obama.

The world respects Obama and despises Trump.

So much hate .

It's righteous indignation, but you were close.

Nothing righteous about it. Obama won two elections, and with larger margins than Trump, both times.

Looks like the Hamburglar got hold of a Twitter account.

Back in the eighties we had a program which used puppets to take the piss out of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic. With the election of Donald trump and the Non-Election of Theresa May (that's our Prime Minister by the way) many are calling for its return.

To give you a flavour of it here is how they treated Reagan.

The OP is right. The rest of the world thinks America is a laughing stock. Enemies are snickering. Even friends and allies are 'aving a larf. Many of you don't give a rat's ass but it is true.
