Holy shit, he basically tried to take credit for everything.

Smug Narcissist. Dems must be scared shitless.

Stock Market started dropping the moment he opened his fat trap, unlike when the other guy tweets.

America can't risk the Amazing Economy by voting for Crazytown in Congress.

Hey, did Obama and Clinton disavow Farrakhan yet?

Why is this negro telling me that I am stupid?

That's a joke, but actual holocaust survivors have advocated for gun rights for exactly this reason.

It ain’t a joke if it’s real, right?

Fox news lies for GOP period. I don't listen to them ever unless I want to laugh.

Nothing else like them exists on cable. They've been getting away with this outrage for so long that GOP has expanded into Sinclair owned and operated local stations all over the country that have mandatory propaganda pieces they must run.

Boycott all their advertisers.

Seek truth.

Be smart.

Hi former poster with a different name now, did you hear about the YUGE Wage Gains, now 2.9% annualized? And the record Jobs Numbers? And the huge boost in Construction Wages?

But seriously, how stupid does he think Americans are? There actually are folks in jail for money laundering, but Eric Place Holder couldn't somehow put anyone from HSBC in jail for money laundering, even money laundering for terrorists? Obama is an eloquent fellow, but when you realize that in spite of his soothing, well-rehearsed speech, he is a full of shit windbag, and that it is all about one corrupt group of liars trying to get you to vote them into power, no one is coming to help you.

Couldn't have put it better. The only thing he's got going is a certain eloquence on rehearsed speeches and a smug charisma (liked by the self-flagellating leftoids), oh and he's black of course. To me and many others he sounds like a smug narcissist windbag. His presidency was full of scandals that make the non-existent Russian collusion story sound like a cake walk.

There is zero serious effort to curb gun rights in the US. It's a manufactured issue the right uses to distract from real problems and evoke an emotional response.

The Liberal honored guests the Hand ass whipping Jihad mother fuckers will just gut you with a knife.

Muslims are more dangerous than Guns.

A gun will never blow up buildings or throw Acid in your 12 year old daughter's face because they thought she spured their sexual advances.

Put that in your rainbow condom and fuck it!

I don’t know how anyone with three functioning cells of gray matter could believe this:

I blame Bush-if it wasn't for that idjit, we would never had Obama.

Obozo the clown back on the campaign trail-maybe repubs keep their majority after all?

MisterLefty says

Obama on the stump today for Democrats tells Americans that they are stupid fucking shits.

If that was what he said, which it wasn't, I would have to agree.

The fact that a few poignant memes are enough to destroy the leftoid narrative and make them scream for censorship should tell everybody how poorly thought out the modern leftoid policies are.

I have developed great respect for memes as a way to make a point. When a funny drawing and caption causes hysteria, you know you've hit a nerve. The Left's response is very similar to Islam's: demands for censorship.

TrumpCuck seems to just be trolling for an angry response. The classic next step will be to claim that it was meant seriously and not as a troll. Let us learn from the master (mistress?) troll Titania:

The U.S. is a country where smart people have to pretend to be stupid
This, after all, is a country in which smart people have to pretend, in the words of an old 1980s song by Flipper, to “act stupider than you really are” in order to fit in.

Reality TV and televangelists aside, nothing epitomizes the national cult of stultification more clearly than our electoral politics.

On the Republican side, there are well-read men and women of considerable accomplishment and impressive educational credentials who pretend to believe things they obviously know to be untrue — because so many of the voters they need are just that damned stupid.

And that’s how they relate to them.

When US president-elect Donald Trump claims that global warming is a myth China foisted on America in order to destroy our economy, listen, he knows better. His followers don’t, though, and they find such comments refreshing, something they themselves might’ve come up with if they were just a bit more … clever.

Ted Cruz, no dummy he, pretends not to believe that climate change is caused by humans, too. Because that is what he (correctly) thinks his mostly uneducated base of lower middle class Americans and Bible thumpers want to hear.

And he is right. It comforts them.

And forget about that nutty bunch of governors and senators — senators! — who claim to think the Earth is about 6,000 years old because: Bible. Most of them ust pretend to believe that “God” wants them to believe this ridiculous fairy tale.

Why? Because ignorance is good for business. And that’s something even the stupidest Americans can get on board with.

Get this: George W. Bush is actually smart.
why are americans so dumb ted rall george w bush

Just last week, a friend who hung out with George W. Bush told me something I’ve heard often enough before to believe: the guy is actually smart.

In a way, this comes as a relief, because: launch codes. Also Yale and Harvard.

Even a legacy admit shouldn’t be half as much of the colossal idiot brush-clearing hick Bush pretended to be his entire political life.

All along, there were hints of Bush’s non-stupidity. Every now and then, his aw-shucks cornpone veneer would flake off, and the Connecticut Yankee inflection of a grandson of Prescott Bush would peek out like the cobblestones and streetcar tracks of an old paved-over road after a hard winter.

That stupid accent — all fake!

Which reminded me of something Bush biographer Kitty Kelly reported: After losing a local election in Texas, Dubya swore, Scarlet-like, to never get out-countrified again.

And he didn’t.

And it worked.

Here we go again with the gaslighting.

Every time there's a severely mentally ill person who kills as a result of liberals making it impossible to forcibly hospitalize the craziest bastard making repeat legit threats for more than a few hours, we hear the "Don't let the opportunity pass us by. This is the time to ban guns! Now!". And pretty much every Democrat and Pundit across the Party's spectrum pushes gun control.

Then a few weeks later, it peters out because it can't generate enough public spport, and the gaslighting begins: "NOBODY is trying to take away your guns."

That’s Democracy for you. As Winston Churchill put it: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”

From your posting history, I’m thinking you favor a more authoritarian sort of government where an elite ruling class could use police and laws to control every aspect of people’s lives.

Perfect, People think I'm too liberal and too authoritarian. It's good to be in the middle.

For the record I did vote for Obama the first time because as a constitution law professor I though he might return some of America's lost constitutional civil rights (so much for the authoritarian thing), that was a mistake. I voted for Reagan once and felt the same way, he sold a bill of goods. Any candidate I would have supported in 2016 lost in the REPUBLICAN primary and I didn't vote for either Trump (who was an insane douche bag blowhard when I lived in the NY area circa 80's and hasn't improved with age) or Hillary ( a fucking democrat never mind the worst democratic candidate in history). FWIW Bush convinced me to re register from a 30 year republican who actively worked on a number of campaigns starting with Ford to independent.

Ted Cruz, no dummy he, pretends not to believe that climate change is caused by humans

Here is some actual thought out opinion, rather than a blind following of the Canon of AGW.

In the mid 80's there was the hype about "Nuclear Winter." The idea being we should not have a global thermonuclear war because the resulting atmospheric debris would block out sun and cause perpetual winter. Now I sure we can think of plenty of reasons to avoid global nuke war, so banging the drum about a nuke winter is redundant. The Nuke Winter supporters were more on the line of "We should give in to Soviet demands, lest we have a war and the resulting Nuke Winter."

This is the same philosophy as AGW. Pollution and resource depletion are already bad enough regardless of any man made climate change. We already have rivers polluted enough that signs warn people not to eat more than 2 fish per month from those waters. Runoff from farms and processing plants cause algae blooms, plus enough bacterial to cause beaches to be temporarily closed. A coal fueled power plant puts sulfur, mercury and other heavy metals in the air and those pollutants end up in the watershed. Mining coal even pollutes the ground water. Action taken to curb present day, verifiable pollution (and resource depletion) would have the same effect on curbing any "Climate Change." Those actions would be:

Immediate efforts to control population growth, More people equals more pollution and more AGW. Immigration should be heavily curtailed, along with any policies encouraging paying people to breed. Discontinue added welfare for having kids, and remove the tax deductatbility for child dependents as well.

No imports from nations that do not follow US-like environmental laws in the manufacture of products exported to the US. It does no good to outlaw coal in the US, just to ship coal to China who will pollute anyway by using it to power their factories.

There are other items, such as tolls on all road use, Such tolls would encourage more local sourcing since the true cost of long distance hauling is factored in as well as encourage consolidating trips, etc. Solar and wind power are on there way anyhow, but such alternatives are only doable if we become more efficient and restrain the population.

People who argue how real AGW is do not seem interested in talking about real solutions, they just want to bark about "science" and the evils of "deniers." Just like the Global Nuke Winter folks were more about giving in to the Soviets, the AGW crowd has a very non-scientific political bent. The AGW argument boils down to "AGW is real, therefore we must vote Democrat."
