I can understand feeling helpless in America the last many years, especially as you watch your town's real estate and wealth go belly up. Unfortunately for him, the people who killed that area are about to be back in charge, and its going to suck for him. I feel bad honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (brett05 @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 01:58 PM) I don't care an iota about race outside of the one we all are a part of...the human race. Yes, liberals over the past 8 years have been making gains in the highest positions in government. Oh wait. That's the opposite of what has been happening. https://www.google.com/#q=gains+made+by+reb...ns+last+8+years I don't know if this is the last chance for Liberals for the foreseeable future. Wouldn't be shocked however. Youre talking about the past, I am talking about the future. Republican's are terrified, that is why they refused to vote on Garland, its why they continually harp on "voter fraud", its why as of today there is not even close to a consensus on how to replace Obamacare. In 1775 Im sure that there people in England saying "Who cares that the colonies want to be represented, weve never lost a war to a colony before." Times they are a changing and you can thank Trump for opening Pandora's box. I honestly believe that one day people will look back on Trump's election with the belief he did more for the liberal platforms than Hillary being elected ever could have. If any normal person would have been the Republican candidate, you wouldnt have gotten this backlash. But Trump has decided he wants to make enemies with the majority of the population, he wants to make enemies of the judiciary, enemies of anyone who ever has the audacity to question him. Guys like that eventually find themselves on the wrong side of history. Edited February 10, 2017 by Soxbadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Trump brings up vote fraud again, this time in meeting with senators He's now claiming that "thousands" of MA residents illegally voted in NH. The president claimed that he and Ayotte both would have been victorious in the Granite State if not for the “thousands” people who were “brought in on buses” from neighboring Massachusetts to “illegally” vote in New Hampshire. According to one participant who described the meeting, “an uncomfortable silence” momentarily overtook the room. Hillary Clinton narrowly won New Hampshire’s four electoral votes over Trump by nearly 3,000 votes. Ayotte’s margin of defeat was even slimmer: 743 votes. Crazy people with a poor grasp on reality now run our country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy people with a poor grasp on reality now run our country. Be thankful. If he wasnt such a cluster, he may actually get things done. As it is, hes likely to keep re-litigating the past and not be able to move forward. He makes Bush look like a rocket scientist, because at least Bush understood there was nothing to gain by arguing about something he won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year America becomes more diverse, less white. Look at the numbers, Trump did horrific with non-whites. This is your last stand, your battle of the bulge. Yes there was a setback, but liberals will still win the day eventually. http://college.usatoday.com/2016/11/09/how...al-orientation/ Those graphs have to be terrifying to you, unless you think "whites no degree" are the future of the USA?

I'm glad you and Steve brought this up because I do hope this is the last stand for people who are racists, against the LGBT community, who refuse to retrain in something when their industry is dead or is dying and for some baby boomers who did what you and him both brought up. I was thinking the other day how I hoped the old people in congress would be phased out with progressive leaders who actually work together across the aisle and compromise. And I hope that racism and discrimination becomes eradicated in the next generation. Plus, I would hope that old industries become obsolete with automation and the next generation becomes educated to the point where those who don't adapt will be forced to adapt or fall behind. I think that is logical, but if that is too liberal, I am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
