John Lewis... hack and demagogue

John Lewis... hack and demagogue

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.

He was too busy making sure he had shares in the 'fencing' contractor...;)

Personally I don't really care either way...Americans made their own bed...;)

The behavior of the press since November 8, especially since January 20, has been all Python all the time.

LOCK HER UP!!

The hypocrisy is strong with this one....

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-emails-rnc-reince-priebus-white-house-server-548191

"But after then-candidate Donald Trump and the Republicans repeatedly called for “locking up” Hillary Clinton for handling government work with a private server while secretary of state, the new White House staff risks repeating the same mistake that dogged the Democrat’s presidential campaign. They also face a security challenge: The RNC email system, according to U.S. intelligence, was hacked during the 2016 race. “They better be careful after making such a huge ruckus over the private email over at the State Department,” says former Bush administration lawyer Richard Painter."

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't Martin Luther a virulent anti Semite?

I reiterate my claim of Gestapo tactics. You may consider them to be on your side, but I would advise you to be careful never to suggest anything even slightly outside the part line..

Get back to us when you learn/understand the definitions of Gestapo & Fascist and can explain how the article you linked pertains to either.

Aside from the use of the words.

Yet, another strawman....

But ok, I'll play..what would you call the attempted intimidation of reporters, and the release of a shooter who was perceived to be on the side of the government?

More diversionary tactics to avoid the issues presented huh?

Well, here you go.

adjective

2.
(sometimes lowercaseof or resembling the Nazi Gestapo, especially in the brutal suppression of opposition:
The new regime is using gestapo tactics.

Now perhaps you can actually comment on the content presented?...

"Cute" is not a sufficient comment. It just demonstrates the unwillingness to confront the possibility of buyer's remorse.

I could accept that descriptive terminology if there were any actual 'brutal suppression of the opposition' going on.  Just ain't happening.  Ignoring isn't the same as suppressing.

This is a long video, but if you can stand to watch the first 10 minutes, it will explain some of the disillusionment within the Democratic party.

Don't now who she is (apparently from Arizona, my state), but she seems fun.

Backing up a little:

Brendan O’Neill on Facebook: “I wonder if those arguing that America has gone fascist and Islamophobia is rampant and Trump is an illegitimate president who should not be indulged by other world leaders realise[sic] how much they are confirming Trump voters’ view that a morally haughty liberal elite has replaced politics with hissy fits and has become so arrogant it thinks everything that doesn’t conform to its worldview is Nazism? I’m against Trump’s executive order, but this reaction… it is an own goal of epic proportions.”

Wall Street is allowed to push investments of dubious value on the unsuspecting public again.

 
"but it limits consumer choice" is just a smoke screen.
 
"We think it is a bad rule. It is a bad rule for consumers," Cohn told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday. "This is like putting only healthy food on the menu, because unhealthy food tastes good but you still shouldn't eat it because you might die younger."
 
So, you admit that you're the equivalent of a junk food pusher, huh... :rolleyes:
 
Just replace "junk food" with drugs, and the true nature of that statement is made clear...

College students live in a protective bubble of safe spaces and their inability to listen to alternative views and function in the real world does not represent progressives as a whole.

All populations have subgroups of extremist...

"Someone with the 'inability to listen to alternative views and function in the real world'" is practically the definition of a progressive these days.

If you think those were just random children whose 'protective bubble of safe spaces' was punctured, I've got a bridge here...

So far, only progressive 'subgroups' have acted out in 'fascist' ways.

And, given their funding, I question how 'sub' they are.
