One man brought more fear to the country than the entire GOP in the last 40 years

[Oldstyle]

Regressive spin, who'd a thunk? BTW near 3500 people have been shot and killed, 10 of thousand injured in Chicago since the maobama regime took office, so tell the folks on the south side how safe it is.

The man (BHO) must be a god. He gets blamed for everything. Even in Chicago.

Coming from the same people that have blamed absolutely everything that happened in the entire last 8 years on Bush. I guess Bush must have been 'god' too.

W was a dope snorting frat boy that waltzed under a lucky star and ended up in The White House then fokked up the entire middle east as well as giving more tax cuts to the rich than they have ever had in all of human history.

W was a demon. Not a god.

Not only that, the GOP blackmailed Obama into extending the Bush Tax cuts. They knew he couldn't stand millions of Americans suffering and he knew they would do it at the drop of a hat. Republicans don't care about other Americans. And the ignorant base doesn't care it's them who gets screwed.

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

Obama extended the Bush tax cuts because people from his own Party told him flat out that if he raised taxes and the economy slowed down even further...that they would all lose their jobs! GOP blackmail? That's amusing...

 

[Wry Catcher]

yiostheoy,

Do you really want to reward the kind of savotage that the GOP have been doing for over a decade now...

Trump is the conclusion to the No compromise policy enacted in 2008... Rem Obama actually tried to deal with them at first but anyone caught was branded a RINO and cacused by the TP...

Trump isn't even a consevative, he is a facist by most definations...

I want the GOP to keep control of the Senate so that Hillary cannot appoint any SCOTUS justices.

I can live with anything else Hillary does.

I really do not want Hillary to have complete control of the US Federal Government.

The House Of Reps is completely worthless and has been ever since Boner took it over. So Nancy can have it back -- fine with me.

And Trump is a madman so Hillary can have The White House -- also fine with me. She has Billy Boy with her there and he can help her if Putin attacks.

But I just pray the Senate stays GOP. Then the SCOTUS will be safe.

When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in our flag, carrying a cross and instilling fear in the people. We once were a home of the brave, it seems that no longer is true, at least in the throngs of Trumperters who live in fear and feel the need to carry a gun to the grocery store and hate others they do not know.

The Supreme Court has been ruled by a Conservative, yet activist, power elite for over a decade, since the appointment of Thomas and Alito we have seen a court dominated by 5-4 decisions based on ideology sans (IMO) common sense. It's past time for us to realize our nation needs to see the world as it is, not as we hope to remake it, and reason not supernatural belief in a God or charlatans who pretend to know the unknowable should no longer color policy.

That is not to suggest that morality is not a factor in the development of law, for it surely is. But the ethos of the current Conservative Crowd is far and away from the Christian ethos which now control too many American's, who buy the rhetoric of the men & women behind the curtain or clothed in the robes of the power elite.

Typical. Try to write a rebuttal, or continue to use emoticons, the refuge known as an inarticulate idiot-gram.

I remember when John McCain was laughed at for saying he knew how to fix the economy and he would if he were elected president.

Donald Trump built a bleak and dark picture of an America that thankfully doesn't exist. Unless he is elected president.

It was an hour and a half of this:

Terrorists are pouring into our country. They are everywhere. In your backyard, on every street corner and they want to kill you. And Mexican rapist drug dealers are pouring in from across the border who want your jobs and they want to kill you. The infrastructure is falling apart. The bridges are falling down. The roads are falling apart and the sky is falling. Police are being shot everywhere and there is no law no order. The bodies of dead Americans are piling up everywhere killed by terrorists and Obamacare.
But don't worry. I know how to fix everything. Elect me and I will fix everything. I will cut taxes and pour money into everything and fix it.

And every word of it screamed at the top of his voice.

So the camera is moving around the hall and people are asked what they thought of Trump's speech and they reply, "It's exactly what I wanted to hear" "It's what is going on in this country". "Donald Trump will save us".

I don't live in this America.

This is the America I live in:

What Caused the Great Crime Decline in the U.S.?

Then crime rates went down. And then they kept going down.

By decade’s end (the 1990's), the homicide rate plunged 42 percent nationwide. Violent crime decreased by one-third. What turned into a precipitous decline started later in some areas and took longer in others. But it happened everywhere: in each region of the country, in cities large and small, in rural and urban areas alike. In the Northeast, which reaped the largest benefits, the homicide rate was halved. Murders plummeted by 75 percent in New York City alone as the city entered the new millennium.

The trend kept ticking downward from there, more slowly and with some fluctuations, to the present day. By virtually any metric, Americans now live in one of the least violent times in the nation’s history.

-------------------------------------

What is it about Republicans that they want to be terrified? Life is better and there is less pressure if you are not terrified.

You can go outside. No one from Chicago is going to kill you. Isis isn't hiding behind your back door.

Trump has convinced people they should be terrified to even go outside. But is that really any surprise?

Trump is known for his ability to fleece the unwary. He has a court date on 28 Nov for Fraud and Racketeering. If he loses his civil case, he opens himself up for criminal charges. If people aren't scared now and Trump becomes president, I think they will learn what real fear is all about.

I think the mindset among those that want to hear what Trump is saying is that it's about having a scapegoat for their own problems, real or perceived. Conservatives have had a few rough years. They feel like the changes are too much and too fast resulting in the degradation of the America they knew. Trump speaks directly to their worst fears but offers nothing more than empty platitudes.

Thanks armchair psychologist....

I can't help noticing that the places where murder are up significantly have teabagger governors who cut services, including law enforcement. But cause and effect evades the understanding of right-wingers.

LOL...so you're blaming the situation in Chicago on Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner? The guy who took office in January? Really?

in his world the blacks on the south side don't exist. It's never addressed in democratic speech. The Donald did, he wants to save them. I watch after the speech and everyone of the liberal media hosts said exactly the same thing. EXACTLY, what the fk, if you don't believe in distribution of message, all one had to do last night was flip from one liberal show to the next and they all said the same thing. Not about the same thing, THE SAME THING. Scripted media how enlightening.

well it can't be obummer, he loves them. Never talks about em, but loves em. Now they have a Repub in charge to blame. That's like a pile of shit in a nest of flies.generates all kinds of scripts to be used nationwide.

It doesn't require a degree to understand that hate and fear is unhealthy, and what we have seen this week (and for years) from the conservative fringe of the GOP is that in spades. Those of us with advanced degrees who have watched the progression from a home of the brave into a nation dominated by the NRA ideology and fascist rhetoric - which we heard last evening from Trump - is at best disturbing.

"Law and Order!" is mindful of the Nixon Agnew ticket it, the Reichstag Fire and the 'strong men' who ruled in other nations at other times in world history. Don't be fooled, those who fail to study history are doomed to relive it.

So the camera is moving around the hall and people are asked what they thought of Trump's speech and they reply, "It's exactly what I wanted to hear" "It's what is going on in this country". "Donald Trump will save us".

I don't live in this America.

This is the America I live in:

What Caused the Great Crime Decline in the U.S.?

Then crime rates went down. And then they kept going down.

By decade’s end (the 1990's), the homicide rate plunged 42 percent nationwide. Violent crime decreased by one-third. What turned into a precipitous decline started later in some areas and took longer in others. But it happened everywhere: in each region of the country, in cities large and small, in rural and urban areas alike. In the Northeast, which reaped the largest benefits, the homicide rate was halved. Murders plummeted by 75 percent in New York City alone as the city entered the new millennium.

The trend kept ticking downward from there, more slowly and with some fluctuations, to the present day. By virtually any metric, Americans now live in one of the least violent times in the nation’s history.

What is it about Republicans that they want to be terrified? Life is better and there is less pressure if you are not terrified.

You can go outside. No one from Chicago is going to kill you. Isis isn't hiding behind your back door.

Trump has convinced people they should be terrified to even go outside. But is that really any surprise?

Trump is known for his ability to fleece the unwary. He has a court date on 28 Nov for Fraud and Racketeering. If he loses his civil case, he opens himself up for criminal charges. If people aren't scared now and Trump becomes president, I think they will learn what real fear is all about.

I think the mindset among those that want to hear what Trump is saying is that it's about having a scapegoat for their own problems, real or perceived. Conservatives have had a few rough years. They feel like the changes are too much and too fast resulting in the degradation of the America they knew. Trump speaks directly to their worst fears but offers nothing more than empty platitudes.

Thanks armchair psychologist....

It's obvious. I just watched a week's worth of cheering from the Republican Party leadership over the very points I made.

50 years the majority of blacks have supported the liberal party. Would you walk down the streets of south Chicago at night? I'm curious your version of the south side shooters.

Why the fuck do you white wingers even care about Chicago? Most hand gun deaths are white people by white people.

yiostheoy,

Do you really want to reward the kind of savotage that the GOP have been doing for over a decade now...

Trump is the conclusion to the No compromise policy enacted in 2008... Rem Obama actually tried to deal with them at first but anyone caught was branded a RINO and cacused by the TP...

Trump isn't even a consevative, he is a facist by most definations...

I want the GOP to keep control of the Senate so that Hillary cannot appoint any SCOTUS justices.

I can live with anything else Hillary does.

I really do not want Hillary to have complete control of the US Federal Government.

The House Of Reps is completely worthless and has been ever since Boner took it over. So Nancy can have it back -- fine with me.

And Trump is a madman so Hillary can have The White House -- also fine with me. She has Billy Boy with her there and he can help her if Putin attacks.

But I just pray the Senate stays GOP. Then the SCOTUS will be safe.

When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in our flag, carrying a cross and instilling fear in the people. We once were a home of the brave, it seems that no longer is true, at least in the throngs of Trumperters who live in fear and feel the need to carry a gun to the grocery store and hate others they do not know.

The Supreme Court has been ruled by a Conservative, yet activist, power elite for over a decade, since the appointment of Thomas and Alito we have seen a court dominated by 5-4 decisions based on ideology sans (IMO) common sense. It's past time for us to realize our nation needs to see the world as it is, not as we hope to remake it, and reason not supernatural belief in a God or charlatans who pretend to know the unknowable should no longer color policy.

That is not to suggest that morality is not a factor in the development of law, for it surely is. But the ethos of the current Conservative Crowd is far and away from the Christian ethos which now control too many American's, who buy the rhetoric of the men & women behind the curtain or clothed in the robes of the power elite.

Typical. Try to write a rebuttal

Would it do any good to say it again?

And stop plagiarizing Sinclair Lewis. It's not nice.

I remember when John McCain was laughed at for saying he knew how to fix the economy and he would if he were elected president.

Donald Trump built a bleak and dark picture of an America that thankfully doesn't exist. Unless he is elected president.

It was an hour and a half of this:

Terrorists are pouring into our country. They are everywhere. In your backyard, on every street corner and they want to kill you. And Mexican rapist drug dealers are pouring in from across the border who want your jobs and they want to kill you. The infrastructure is falling apart. The bridges are falling down. The roads are falling apart and the sky is falling. Police are being shot everywhere and there is no law no order. The bodies of dead Americans are piling up everywhere killed by terrorists and Obamacare.
But don't worry. I know how to fix everything. Elect me and I will fix everything. I will cut taxes and pour money into everything and fix it.

And every word of it screamed at the top of his voice.

So the camera is moving around the hall and people are asked what they thought of Trump's speech and they reply, "It's exactly what I wanted to hear" "It's what is going on in this country". "Donald Trump will save us".

Regressive spin, who'd a thunk? BTW near 3500 people have been shot and killed, 10 of thousand injured in Chicago since the maobama regime took office, so tell the folks on the south side how safe it is.

in his world the blacks on the south side don't exist. It's never addressed in democratic speech. The Donald did, he wants to save them. I watch after the speech and everyone of the liberal media hosts said exactly the same thing. EXACTLY, what the fk, if you don't believe in distribution of message, all one had to do last night was flip from one liberal show to the next and they all said the same thing. Not about the same thing, THE SAME THING. Scripted media how enlightening.

Just a thought. Remember from your history books the violence, also in ChiTown in the 1930's? Remember too what was a consequence of this violence, the Federal Firearms Act of 1938!
