Which is surprising to nobody.

This is what I mean. The President really likes to deal in ideas of morality, and when your opposition has no morals, that makes you a sucker.

Nobody's going to remember that he had some good lines during his last end of year press conference. They're going to remember that Russia and the Republican Party played him, the DNC, and all of us like fucking fools.

Who said it was a surprise? And who said people are going to remember some good lines during this conference? You seem like you're looking for things to be outraged at. There is plenty to be upset about, but your focus seems off on where that outrage should be directed. Obama isn't the one who fucked us.

Go crawl back under your rock, racist.



This is an example of a common thing that Sanders has talked about.

This is the same coded bullshit that I've heard every time Democrats have lost an election - fuck black and brown issues, let's focus on the "white working class" - which itself is a coded phrase.

I hate that my life-or-death issues are "identity politics" that Sanders isn't interested in focusing on, but it is what it is.

More stupid bullshit.
 
The question is if Trump turns heel on Russia and gets aggressive with them will the left start calling him a war monger? What do Dems actually want done with Russia exactly? Or was this more about removing Trump than punishing Russia?

Do you even know what Identity Politics refers to? It's completely centered on the fact that you had Trump running on the fact that he was TREMEMDOUS TRUMP and Hillary running on the fact that she was FIRST FEMALE PRES CLINTON.

Read the article you linked, btw:
Sanders also addressed what he called “the racist background of Mr. Trump,” according to the student-run Daily Free Press, and mocked the idea that Trump ran against the establishment.

“The idea that somebody like a Donald Trump could pose as the anti-establishment candidate, could pose as the candidate of change, would be laughable if the consequences were not so dire,” he said.

Sounds pretty sympathetic to what folks of color are going to have to deal with in the future.

Right. Republicans are shameless. The problem is that people keep thinking of the GOP as regular human beings with a working moral compass.

They're not.

I found this out when my mom whose dad was a POW didn't care about Trump's comments about John McCain.

Moral compass beyond repair.
 
All right. Gotta run and pick up kid from school. Someone PM me if we find out the journalist who fainted is a Russian spy. I'm still suspicious something fishy is going on there....

She want's that "Obama confirms Putin was responsible for hack" headline.

I think he gave her enough for that headline and the press are cowards if they don't run with it.

Tbf Obama should just come out and say yes based on the intelligence Putin authorized.

The CIA has already said it.

What? No. That's not what it is at all. Literally no-one uses the term that way

The last line of this press conference needs to be an arrest warrant for Donald Trump has been issued.

The amount of people here that want to see Obama imprison or act against Donald Trump in some way is absolutely insane and scary.

Do you not see how dangerous that is? The President enacting policy to stop the new President from entering office? It's tantamount to destroying the nature of our government and would remove any semblance of democracy. Obama is taking the right approach. Anything that happens should be done by the law enforcement agencies, not the White House.
 
The phrase "Identity politics" is a way for jerk-o's to say that symbolism doesn't matter in a society, which is demonstrably false.

What? Trump opened his campaign with obvious racism, and after that, it was liberally peppered with racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Trump ran on identity politics, and he won.

This indeed was the most historic press conference of history

Hindsight will show this as the moment Obama's legacy ended & he walked away.


Lol fuck outta here

Removing the pro-russia members of his cabinet would be a good start. He's not going to do that though.

I'm not "looking for things to be upset about". I have plenty of reasons, many of which have to do with the political party who unfortunately represents the majority of my interests being weak and ineffective in the face of Republican opposition and Russian espionage. Not to mention my job and potentially my life being in (greater) danger after the lord of Orange takes office in a month. I really don't give a fuck where you think my "outrage" should be directed.

He basically gave her that high ranking officials are tied to it.

High ranking officials would never act without Putin's consent, therefore he ordered it.

Obama handled a medical emergency during a conference with class and speed. Imagine how President Burnt Sienna would have responded.

They don't seem capable of asking any questions not related to Trump.

Trump knows how to play the media like a fiddle. They comply because for the most part outlets only care about ratings and clicks. For them, the more outlandish the statement or act by Trump, the better for them. So they don't mind. Damn the country, they want clicks.

While I agree, we also wouldn't have got him saying "not much happens in Russia that Putin doesn't authorise" which was great.

Of course. I said that myself---there is plenty of things to be upset about. So . . . all righty then. We're in agreement. Great.
 
Catching up to the pages I missed. Why are some of you acting like Obama's presidency is a wash now? Lowered the unemployment rate, 20+ million now have insurance, pulled troops out of foreign countries, and the wage is slowly going up, but nah....its a wash now.
