Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Don't care. Trump will be there. He's trailing. He has to be.

 

That's not what I asked.

 

Or, ya know, it won't be. You have an opinion about what it might be. Your opinion could be wrong.

But even if everything is great, you'll never admit it. You can't get over your hatred of everything Clinton.

 

It is very clear that to many, the country is in terrible shape simply because Republicans don't have total power. They are uncomfortable with the idea others disagree with them. They are shattered by the idea they might be the minority.

 

The right wing has become the party of whiners, criers, complainers and bitchy little pricks. Did the entire Republican Party get their periods at the same time?

 

In 1992, Rush Limbaugh released "The Way Things Ought To Be." He would say every day that he was working on a follow-up called "See, I Told You So." He released that book in 1993.

So in 12 to 18 months he predicted national ruin and then apparently saw it come to fruition. That has been the mindset of that crowd ever since.

 

Has anyone asked Reince Preibus about the comment?

 

If you had any shred of credibility left, you lost it when you claimed that Morning Joe is equivalent to CNN.

 

Yet another dodge. Somebody lied, Trump or the NFL. Which one lied?

 

Fox News is to blame for a lot of the whining.

Retirees and other conservatives keep it on all day, and just start bitching about the horrible world around us.

My parents used to be upbeat, glass-half-full people. Then they retired and turned on Fox News.

My dad now claims the world is more fucked up than it's ever been. Worse than WWII, worse than Vietnam, worse than the Cold War when we built bomb shelters out of fear.

This, despite the fact that he lives in a lovely house in Charleston with his wife of 50 years, wants for nothing, has all his medical expenses taken care of by Medicare, continues to work part time in a fulfilling career, lives near his sisters who dote on him, has 5 amazing healthy grandchildren, 2 kids who are married and doing well, including a son who's a surgeon... 2 amazing dogs...

I mean WTF.

 

When you get closer to the reality the world will go merrily along without you in it, the idea that it's going to hell at a fast pace is an appealing fantasy.
