You ask this dumb f'ing question as if you intend to entertain an honest answer, as if you're not going to simply troll anyone who might pity a hopelessly unrehabilitatable ex-con enough to explain why the "both parties are the same" platitude is wrong for the billionth time.

The democratic party wants people like you to be able to vote in elections even after they were dumb enough to get caught and convicted for stealing hubcaps 6 times. Now, freedoms like that might not mean much to a guy who still wears tattoos he never wanted and wears ankle jewelry that runs on batteries he could never afford, but to us law-abiding, decent folk, it's something.


What is all this about?

Sadly, I'm not a convicted felon...

The Republican philosophy is you are on your own. The Dems is we are in this together. I prefer the latter.

Do you consider Trump a leader? He's alienated most of our long time allies Befriended our long time foes. This person wants to be king.

Same ol' Jodeke. Always begging the question.

Remember 2015, when all those GOP dudes announced running for president prior to Trump announcement. We all knew Hillary was going to win the Democratic nominee and be running in the 2016 election waaaaay before. With all those GOPs, there was no chance of any of them winning against Hillary. Until Jeb Bush came along and became the front-runner and led the Republican polls but not that much with the likes of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Still, Jeb would have lost to Hillary in 2016. Then, the next day, Trump announced he was going to run for president and he pretty much buried Jeb Bush. It just shows you that that the GOP have no good future prospects then and now like the Democrats do.

For the people who think the Democratic Resistance to Republican attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act didn't make a difference -- this is a picture of congressional representatives celebrating the House repeal of the ACA in the Rose Garden with Trump. Everyone with a red X is now gone from Congress. Make of that what you will.

A small hint: if you’re going to post a small video or gif that humorously makes your point (a good thing) don’t label the link so as to undercut the impact of the link itself. It’s like Rick rolling someone and putting “rickroll” in the link.

That's probably my fault. In a different context I asked him to label his links rather than post blind links. I forgot to tell him about the exception for mocking someone who clearly deserves it, rickroll style.

I believe the message was received. Lets see if the recipient responds or do another side step.

Moron-In-Chief after touring California fire areas:

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1

Trump is asked if the seeing the devastation from the California wildfires has changed his opinion on climate change.

Trump: "No. No. I have a strong opinion: I want great climate."


It's like having a cross between Archie Bunker & Homer Simpson, except dumber and less articulate.

What's frustrating is Georgia allowed their systems to be hacked in 2016...Didn't fix anything and would probably accept another hacking if it helped Trump.

There are guys who think they are the smartest guy in a roomfool of idiots. Sometimes they're really the smartest, like Trump in one of his rallies. But everything outside of that? I don't think there's any conversation during his presidency where he's the smartest. But he talks to reporters like they're his hick followers.

An actual tweet about Adam Schiff:

Quote:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!


Link in case he tries to delete it: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1064216956679716864

You know it's not a typo, either.

If your 8-year old did this in class to another kid, he'd be admonished and sent home.
