John Lewis... hack and demagogue

from JoeUser Forums

So now, "human rights legend" John Lewis claims that Donald Trump is illegitimate. Thats odd, it seemed to me like Trump won an electoral landslide. Its also worth noting that the partisan Democrats who are in total control of our intelligence agencies reported that there was no evidence of vote tampering by Russia or anyone else. What a crybaby sore loser John Lewis... cry me a river. I still remember the last public tantrum Lewis pitched when he claimed that a teapartier spit on him and called him the N-word in front of hundreds of people. Brietbart immediately offered a huge reward for any evidence of the incident, but none was ever found. Not one of the hundreds of cameras, phones, or witnesses saw any racial attacks. Whatever John Lewis once did, he is now a racial demagogue and a Democrat party hack. Its also important to remember that when Donald Trump starts doing away with as much of Obama's pen and a phone style of governance that is better suited for a balcony rather than an executive office, that Obama's declarations of "I won and you lost," and "elections have consequences," leaves little sympathy for those like John Lewis who are now shocked, shocked that people are gambling in Casablanca.

Can't wait for this week to be over so we can get on with our lives. 

I've learned so much about my friends from this election. Some relationships will never be the same.  You learn a lot about people when they lose, and a lot about people when they "win."  

On a side note, I find it disturbing how many Americans are willing to throw the country into anarchy simply because they didn't get their way.  As if they don't realize that no matter how bad they think it "might" be, civil war would be eons worse.  

I'm just done.   :thumbsdown:

Is this satire, or are you being serious? I can't tell.

I've enjoyed this election a great deal Tova. I even enjoyed my dads anguish when his beloved, "Madame President" took a dive in the first round. :D I'm glad because another 4 years of what Obama was doing would have destroyed everything that once was. I am so happy and will be celebrating the inauguration regardless of the tantrums of Hollywood and the boorish intellectual left who are acting like a bunch of crybabies. I hope Trump can turn back as much of the damage of the Obama wrecking ball to our nation as he can.

I wasn't on the Trump train at first.  No need to go into all the why, but once it came down between Trump and Clinton, well there is NO WAY I could vote for her.  She was so stinking dishonest.  I like that Trump tweets. lol  I love that he cuts through the media and goes straight to the public.  Ultimately though I voted for Mike Pence.  

Don't get me wrong.  I have more hope now than I have at any point over the last 8 years of hope and change.  I was really worried about our nation when the Obamabots worshipped his breathing.

I'm looking forward to the new year.

(I've watched the youtube "night of the election" reactions from the  media probably a hundred times.  I think it's hysterical.)

Interesting.  That appears to be a very pointed personal attack.

Well, being that I've done nothing wrong imo, I fail to see why I need a warning. I don't wish for anything to happen to Mumblefratz. He can call me silly names if he wishes.

Isn't a 'warning'...just a simple statement...;)

If there becomes a need for a warning the recipient will get a 'PM'....;)

Politics as a topic is allowed on the JU forums, hence the topic heading, but people will still be people and resort to questionable commentary that has been known in the past to violate Stardock's TOU, hence the 'passing supervision'.

Be careful what you wish for folks... A President promising a populist agenda with a cabinet and advisers who have no interest in populism. This should be interesting. The robots are coming and the blue collar jobs will keep disappearing. And there is nothing that Trump can materially do about it. Sit back and watch the fun...

Direct vote tampering isn't the issue....

"The South Carolina senator weeks ago said Russia should suffer "crippling sanctions" because of its election-related cyberattacks and accused the Kremlin of hacking his campaign accounts also."

It's come to this:  Kremlin 'election-related cyberattacks' concern me less than NSA, et al, 'election-related cyberattacks' (eg., Georgia, State of).

No one has refuted (or even denied) the veracity of the leaked information, so whoever was responsible, it was never a 'disinformation' campaign.  The whole 'Russia did it' ploy was just that, a diversionary tactic meant to divert attention away from the content of the leaked material.  Just MHO.

Another train wreck in the making...But just like Trump can shoot someone in the middle of the street and get away with it, Trump supporters will blame Obama and Clinton if the Republican dismantling of the ACA blows up. Blind faith is not a virtue....

A Russia friendly administration doesn't concern you in the least? If the NSA bothers you, do you think the KGB is a better choice?

Never going to see Trumps tax returns. Do you know why? "Wait until the audit is over" was just an excuse.

Surely you've not forgotten 'Reset Button'?

If given a choice between NSA & FSB/KGB, I'll take neither, thank you.  A 'Russia friendly administration' doesn't concern me any more than it did in 2009, and I seriously doubt Trump would have sold a quarter of our uranium production to Russia.  Or given the green light and boatloads of cash to Iran.

I could care less about Trump's tax returns.  Mine are (allegedly) private.  So should his be.  If the IRS is doing the job it's supposed to be doing, as opposed to political persecution campaigns, there's nothing illegal there.  I've never been in favor of forcing politicians to make their tax returns public - sets a bad precedent and conditions people to believe we ought to have access to them if they interest us.  No thanks, none of our business.  If they choose to publish them that's fine & dandy but choosing not to publish them is not in any way disqualifying in my book.

The ACA was the equivalent of a suicide bomber and our health care system its intended victim.  Repairing the damage done by the ACA, designed like the rat tunnels in Vietnam with many booby traps to thwart that process, will not be simple or easy.  But it won't 'blow up'.

So everything's OK with GWB, now?  No longer cool to blame predecessors for current problems?  Good.  I consider that progress.

I think arguing over the size of the crowd is dumb.


Can I ask something about the NYT reference?  The NYT has admitted they were biased and not great at reporting on politics, so why are people still going to that trough?  It's like they have admitted to poisoning the water and yet people still go there to drink and swear it's pure.  I find that very confusing.

When did I ever blame GWB for anything on this forum?? Please provide a link to the statement(s) you are claiming I made.

The Republicans have been promising to repeal and replace it for eight years. That should be plenty of time to figure out how to dismantle it without causing collateral damage.

The ACA has a number of issues that need to be addressed. No one is arguing that it is perfect. But it is providing coverage for a lot of people who would otherwise not be able to get insurance. Pulling out the rug from under them would cause a lot of pain. You may not care, but I do. That is a difference in our world views that we will not be able to reconcile.

Fake.  Until an actual person claims it publicly, it'll remain fake.

And I was making a generalization about the 'blaming GWB' game, Borg, not ascribing anything specific to you.

Not fake: Trump failed to turn and wave as he boarded AF1 for the first time.

I shudder in fear...
