I have to disagree about the civil war too, billy. There was no civil war when SCOTUS awarded the Presidency to GWB after Gore won the popular vote, nor during this past election when the gerrymandered EC awarded the highest office in the land to a grifter who is making money hand over fist thru the office, in spite of the 3 mil popular votes to the contrary. So if Democrats accept and abide by the laws of the land as evidenced thru this history, who is going to start banging away in dissatisfaction of the events. Law and Order Republicans? Hah! That would take action, which they are not inclined to get off their butts to do.
^^ Person certified in stupidity.
Ahhh...how cute! Are you going to be my next puppy and follow me around thread to thread trying to get my attention?I think you are wrong, billy. This whole mess has me thinking of my own reactions at the news about Bill Clinton. I just hated the fact the dumb oversexed fool couldn't keep it in his knickers. It was embarrassing. I claimed at the time that if he were my kid, I'd slap the snot out of him. Yet I stayed on his team because I thought he was good for American and Americans. I waffled that it wasn't like footsie with another nation formerly aggressive toward our model of governance. And even today with Trump, the dalliances with the pretty girls is not a primary knuckle-biter for me. But the fact is I intensely dislike this man as President of my country for more reasons than I can count on my fingers and toes. So I am sort of reveling today and sort of embarrassed before the world at the same time. I do believe he knew and accepted the aid of foreign influence on people who thought he'd be a refreshing change. That's like not liking the plumber's union rates so rebelling by hiring your lawn mower to fix your pipes. Trump is a reaction, not a thoughtful choice. And yes, she would have been better, sneaky or not, because she knows the ropes better, and can think beyond herself. Canny is not a bad feature when dealing with others who would enjoy seeing your nation fail.
No one cared about the BJ. Bill lied under oath. That's a crime. What is Trump's crime?
Had Clinton been elected, I believe we would now be in the beginning stages of a second civil war.
What if you are right? I'm not conceding that, but what if...? If Clinton used the Office of the President for personal gain, but led the country with a little class and diplomacy and not spent all her time telling you how great she is while nothing gets done, or drooling over the power of despots, what would we lose? Even then we'd be better off because Trump is grifting and the country is NOT improving. Cite all the employment (without bennies) you want. We ain't better off. And now we gotta pay some $12 bil to hard workers who lost their customers thru tariffs, and it's back to pre-ACA days when we also have to pick up the tab for the health of the uninsured thru ERs and or cheap junk policies. Deals with NK are jokes and we spend a lot of time kissing up to people who hold Trump, and us thru him, in contempt..Erdogan, Duterte, KJ Un and even Xi. We got the power, but we better never go to sleep or look the other way. It's no way to run a country if you can't ever relax.
