I'm glad you said that. Because many on your side were swearing up and down it was because Obama was black. But now that argument is dead. It's not racial at all, strictly partisan. Dems just lost the best card in their deck.

Oh so now my opinion matters to you? 

And don't twist my words. It would be intellectually dishonest to believe that Obama's race had nothing to do with the GOP's extraordinary obstruction against him.

This is the party of the southern strategy. The black voter disenfranchising.

Would Obama receive the same treatment if he was white? Doubtful

He worked really hard to become a successful businessman, yet he can't stop complaining about how everything is against him in this election. It's like he thinks everything should be handed to him. 

 

[daddy style]

I love how my President, the first American of African descent tells beligerent, egotistical, unqualified, white entitled candidates what to do. Stop whining Donald! Lol! For centuries, racist and bigoted white people have said the same thing about black people who fought to force change in this land. Now we have a sitting Black President telling a white boy to pull himself up by the bootstraps, and he and his supporters can't stand it! What an enjoyable time to be a person of consciousness right now, to quote Malcolm X," the chickens have come home to roost!" Now whites are trying hard to nail that door shut, so that there will never be another non white male seated in the White House, ever again. You can see the sweat of fear dripping from the faces of Trumps supporters, those who are only comfortable with a white male telling them what to do. Boy, what a great time to br alive!

Well. That's the rub, Trump didn't work hard, he has had everything handed to him.

 Son conceded the election, and has now move towards hoping that the GOP filibusters the SC nomination. That's incredible.

and now they're going to have to deal with a woman. groping and unwanted advances by awkward white dudes is gonna be a thing of the past. the world's turning upside down on them and they don't know what to do. centuries of living off the back of others and instead of thanking and working with women, minorities, and immigrants, they double down on their hatred. well history will forget them soon enough.

the minority, the woman, the nerd -- our time has come.

The "successful" adjective is also debatable.

Funny thing about ninja getting all excited about the prospect of Republicans filibustering the SC nominees is that:
- someone else had to feed him that info
- it isn't bulletproof. The Democrats could very well invoke the nuclear option and drill in the head of the general public the fact that the GOP has done nothing for them other than putting the party before the country to insure that they remember.

Sound like Riley and Grandad circa 08.

Then when things stay the same you'll go back to tired old talking point "well the President doesn't control everything."

Once you all realize that you need to help yourselves instead of waiting on the government,then you'll prosper.

Interesting comment:

The Judiciary Act of 1869 requires only six Justices to conduct lawful court proceedings and render decisions. I said here in this forum long ago that absent a Democrat Senate majority the Republican Senate would deny a Democrat President confirmations until a 6th Justice was required. That means two more retirements/deaths can occur and Republican's hands still won't have been forced on the issue.

PS-That also means that Hillary doesn't get a nomination until a third Justice leaves. And at that point she merely gets one nominee to bring the court up to six, not back to nine. Three have to leave for Democrats to install just one new Justice, in a Republican majority Senate. Clinton is not remaking the court unless wholesale retirements and deaths strike the court. She'd be lucky to install one Justice in her first term.

If this is indeed true, y'all better load up the UHaul van to get to the polls and make sure this woman get 60 senators to work with in January.

Can't the Dems just use the nuclear option with a simple majority?

so da only reason rusty voting no Longer matters?

Shut the hell up with you BS talking point.

I tried to explain economic reasons, but you can't even grasp simple supply and demand so everything I said was lost on you.

whaa whaa rusty crying cuz da GOP still got a Trump card

next time u yell at me to shut up put some base in your voice boy.

You're bragging to about the GOP being like **** boys, something they said months ago they won't do. You know, do their job lol

And brah, you a over the hill skinny fat dude still living wit his mom. I can use you zestiest voice in the world to address you if I wanted, and still have you shook. Ain't nothing about you says you are someone to be feared or even respected. Not even if you pulled out the Model 1816 on me

Sit down b

My man...

Lol what

DEMS in 2000: Bush defeats Gore - It's VOTER FRAUD !!!

DEMS in 2016: There's never been a case of voter fraud. It doesn't exist.

Trump is wrong about voter fraud against him in this election but come on. How do people buy this nonsense?

i agree with you on that.

but i don't want government or others standing in the of progress. rolling back women's rights, gay rights, civil rights, minority rights, etc. -- these are all things that were much worse in our lifetimes (well in my lifetime. i don't know how old you are), and we have made a lot of progress and it does matter. but when we still have people threatening to patrol polling stations to profile people who don't look right (aka not white), then we still have a ways to go.

I'm willing to support and be a fan of some conservative economic or foreign policies, but I'm not going to accept it if it's tied to rolling back social progress.

at the end of the day, dignity and equality outweigh money. and they're not mutually exclusive. if anything there can go together.
