Sometimes my conservative FB Friends, however this one seems pretty much delusional.
Impeachment..... Each and every one of you should be ashamed and pray that this doesn’t happen....and, I’ll tell you why.....
Tread lightly...... Years ago the Japanese leaders said, “I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant.” The silent majority are pissed!!!😡
I mean who is author kidding... "We sat silent..." Maybe he lived an alternate reality? :-) I mean:

- For 8 years, we sat silent, while Obama divided our nation.
- He used identity politics, race warfare, and class warfare to divide us all.
- Obama thrust universal healthcare upon us and we sat silent,
- Obama and his administration removed monuments, statues and plaques....our past, our heritage from parks and plazas in cities and small towns around the nation, and we sat silent....
- In the meantime, Hillary and Obama let 4 Americans die in Benghazi, while they watched on closed circuit TV..... Again, we were silent.
- We watched Hillary Clinton and Donna Brazil rig a primary against Bernie Sanders.
- We saw Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch (Attorney General at the time) sit on a flight line, only to find that Hilary was exonerated for any crime; regarding her acid washed/bleach bit server and 33,000 deleted emails. Again, we were silent....
- We have watched our duly elected president harassed each and every day, for 3 years; even though he has put millions back to work, brought jobs back to America, stood up to our adversaries, and fought like hell to protect our borders, and yet he and his family and staff are ridiculed and dismissed, and we sat silent...
- Now, we see Joe Biden leveraging $1 Billion American dollars for his son.
- However, the Democrats and the media only care about impeaching Trump!

I mean who is author kidding... "We sat silent..." Maybe he lived an alternate reality? :-) I mean:
- I don't remember Obama ever calling people who were different from him names or vilifying them like Trump does regularly. Remember Trump calling Mexicans / Hispanics murderers and rapists. Or his implying that Muslims are terrorists, while calling White Supremacists good people.
- I don't remember anyone passing Universal Healthcare, there was the Affordable Healthcare Act where people were required to buy good quality health insurance or they would need to pay extra taxes. Just as we require drivers to carry quality liability insurance so the tax payers and victims don't get stuck paying their bills. I have never understood the resistance against making people carry good quality health insurance, I mean do they prefer paying for their emergency care through our taxes, higher fees at the hospital, bankruptcy costs that we all absorb? And again... Who sat silent? I have been hearing Conservatives whine about ACA since before it was passed. :-)
- And silent regarding Benghazi, give me a break. The GOP Congress spent tons of money on investigations that came up with SQUAT... And Hillary at least had the balls to show up and testify before Congress unlike our current spineless President. (Note: He is a civil servant, when an investigation is being held his people should answer questions under oath. Just think of squawking would would have heard from the right if Obama had said... We in the Executive Office do not need to answer to the GOP House of Representatives)
- Emails: please remember that again. Hillary produced a LOT of data, worked with FBI, testified in Congress, etc. Unlike you know who.
- Now I voted for Trump and like some of his actions, but how can anyone respect a man who lies, name calls, etc regularly. If you disagree, please tell me where.
- As for accomplishments: the biggest are Conservatives Judges and an unnecessary tax cut that has spiked the deficit and national debt and mortgaged our children for generations. More info here.
- Regarding Biden... He was just one of many who knew the individual had to go and it was done out in the public via official channels. Please do you research. Whereas Trump did it on the down low via his personal lawyer and the EU Ambassador who normally would not even be working in Ukraine.
Now we have a Senator who is supposed to be the jury foreman colluding with the defendant, and a President who aggressively refused to cooperate with a very legal investigation. And a bunch of supposed law and order Republicans who are cheering on this refusal to answer simple questions under oath.
As I say... Would you have supported Clinton stone walling Congress?
Very strange. I never thought of Obama as a particularly divisive politician. Democrats who need to assemble consensuses can't really afford to be. You notice that there are Democrats on both side of the impeachment vote. Democrats are bipartisan on the issue. Unlike Republicans.

ReplyDeleteDonald has been ridiculed all his public life. He has never been viewed as a serious person. It's not something that started just three years ago.
I have to say, didn't everyone know this? Did people not recognize "Celebrity Apprentice" as the satire it was? And that the joke of the show was always Trump's cluelessness?

What I thought was funny about this piece, and we see it a lot is how, faced with a political figure who worked pretty hard to avoid issues of race, makes an effort to play the race card for him, and then insist that he was the one who played it.

Agreed. I felt like I had fallen into and alternate dimension.
ReplyDeleteI mean there was race tension, but I think that had to do more with officer involved shootings of unarmed black citizens than with Obama.
And Obama actually had staff and interns that looked like America, where as Trump's is nearly as white as snow.

ReplyDeleteFor my part, I was really amazed when the Supreme Court overturned the voting rights act on the theory that race is no longer an issue in our politics and our society. That was for me, another reason why the power of the Supreme Court to review legislation should be terminated, and the court should be reduced to an advisory role, like the House of Lords or the Queen of England.

Apparently that was not the rationale.
ReplyDeletehe Court ruled by a 5-to-4 vote that Section 4(b) is unconstitutional because the coverage formula is based on data over 40 years old, making it no longer responsive to current needs and therefore an impermissible burden on the constitutional principles of federalism and equal sovereignty of the states.[2]
ReplyDeleteIt isn't, of course, the Supreme Court's job to decide for Congress what to base their legislative decisions. It's a reckless decision with immediate and disastrous results.

And it should be pointed out that Roberts relied on an erroneous data set when comparing voter registration rates of blacks and whites when he essentially declared racism over.
ReplyDeleteBeyond my capability to second guess SCOTUS on this one.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of the Supreme Court is mostly made up of naive people with very little life experience.
