Obama isn't blameless on this

little did he know how much "elections have consequences" would resonate against the electorate.

That statement has become the foundation to justify partisan actions. Even Dubya's "I'm going to spend some of my political capital" on what ultimately would be failed initiatives of social security and immigration reform didn't strike a chord like that did.

Somebody at IC posted this, I think it was from an article posted somewhere else:

There’s no left-wing analogue to Trump in American life, but it’s possible to imagine such a figure. Picture an amalgam of Marianne Williamson and Hugo Chávez, a charismatic ideologue able to speak to the spiritual hunger of lonely, atomized masses. She enters the Democratic primary to elite mockery, but her rallies are huge and rapturous, and she holds crowds spellbound promising to cleanse America of its demonic legacy of racism and sexism. Her pronouncements are at once shocking and thrilling. She pledges to expropriate investment banks and to turn Mar-a-Lago into a homeless shelter.

At first Democrats freak out — her movement seems like a cult — but she wins the primary, and then the presidency, perhaps with an assist from China. Then she sets about trying to make progressive dreams come true. Stacey Abrams becomes attorney general. Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s district attorney and an icon of criminal justice reform, replaces Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. Declaring a national health emergency, the president takes $3.6 billion from the military and gives it to Planned Parenthood. She orders the government not to do business with any company that advertises on Fox News.

Now I know Prof and probably many Trumpsters believe that most mainstream democrats already are trying to make that scenario happen, but they're deluded...

Ohio State, just like all the other universities in America, have some real winners on campus.... check out these idiots.

His last comment definitely applies to some here at the Goat Pen......

She pretty much represents everything that the American people voted against in the last election when giving Trump power.

I thought for sure they'd be pushing Buttplug by now since he clearly is the best chance to beat Trump, but I guess they are too stupid to figure that out. He seems a bit saner than the rest and I figured the CNN night anchors would be boytoying all over him. I guess the party would rather double down on the crazies.

Indeed!

Fox News is Crotch's porn. That was the money shot...

Wait a second. Half the time you say you're in the bathroom when you're actually peeing in your grandaughters closet.

I could google but who is Charlie Kirk?

Charlie Kirk (1993[1]–) is an American right-wing grifter, professional meme maker, and diaper enthusiast. He is the founder and spiritual leader of Toilet Paper USA Turning Point USA (TPUSA), which organizes bizarre conservative stunts on college campuses.

LITHIA, Fla. — The bruises and swelling on Jeremy King's face tells the story of a man on the receiving end of a brutal attack. But his actual account is far more harrowing than his injuries suggest.

“I’ve got a fractured eye socket, a fractured sinus cavity, a concussion, 20 stitches and three staples in my head,” said King, outside his home on Old Welcome Road in Lithia. “I took a severe beating.”

King said he was inside his home Wednesday when two masked men armed with guns barged in around 9:00pm. He said he doesn't know who they are, never met them and has no idea why he was targeted. Both men pointed guns at King while demanding money.

“They came in heavily hooded and masked. As soon as they had got the back door opened, they had a pistol on me and was grabbing my 11-year-old daughter,” he said.

“I’m telling them, ‘I have nothing for you,’" King explained. "[A]nd they’re like, ‘Give me everything you got.’ It became real violent, real fast.”

King said one of the men started pistol-whipping him while another kicked him repeatedly in the head. His wife, who is eight months pregnant, was in the back bedroom and peeked out to see what was going on.

King said one of the men shot at her. She retreated, grabbed an AR-15 and returned fire.

“When he came toward the back door in her line of sight, she clipped him,” King said. “He made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet out in the front ditch before the AR did its thing.”

Deputies later found a man dead in a nearby ditch. The other gunman ran off after that fatal shot was fired.

“Them guys came in with two normal pistols and my AR stopped it,” King said. “[My wife] evened the playing field and kept them from killing me. “

Investigators are still looking for the second gunman.

Would a different type of firearm not have done the job?

they had 1 target, she had 2

Stupidity isn't limited to one party or group of people. Take Republicans like you for example. You are one stupid mother fucker.

Crotch: hello

Heh....typical liberal juvenile. Nuff said.

interesting to see how the Kentucky governors race goes tomorrow. It will be a blow if a democrat gets elected

Bevin doesn't pull punches though, has not shortage of people in the state that dislike him, but seems like just as many do like him

Trump supporter here but will absolutely not vote for Bevin. Won't vote for Beshear either. Bevin publicly insulted the teachers calling them ignorant and stupid. Not sure how many teachers both active and retired there are in Kentucky but I'd be surprised if he got 25 of their votes. Hope this doesn't hurt Trump because of his support for Bevin. Rally in Rupp about ready to air on Fox and One America News. Don't be surprised if you hear some boos when Trump talks about Bevin. Latest poll shows Bevin and Beshear both at 46%....BTW, Bevin is not a Kentuckian.... the jerk is from New Hampshire.

“I was watching the other night, the great Lou Dobbs,” Trump told rallygoers in Lexington’s Rupp Arena. “He said, when Trump took over,— when Trump took over, President Trump, he used to say ‘Trump is a great president,’ then he said ‘the greatest president since Ronald Reagan,’ then he said ‘No, no, Trump is an even better president than Ronald Reagan.’ And now he has me down as the greatest president in the history of our country, including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln!”

This guy.
