I wonder where posters like SP33Demon / Legend Killer have run off too since the election... Buyers remorse? Please chime in a let us all make sense of this somehow.
Like most people they don't want to spend the time posting in a forum filled with spankers and fuck holes like you. In my humble opinion that is.

Now you can post your usual sock puppet rant.

I very much agree both parties have been corrupted by wealthy special interests, but that doesn't mean they are the same. Note that the FCC embraced net neutrality until Republican Pai took over. It was Republicans who brought us Citizens United, opening the door to almost unlimited corruption by those with deep pockets. For all it's faults, the Democratic Party tries to balance serving special interests with serving all Americans. You can't say the same about today's GOP.

Democrats recognize the simple fact that only big govt can act as a buffer between the People & the forces of big money & plutocratic greed at the top. Repub leaders pretend that the avarice & greed don't matter or even exist & the rank & file believe them, go on pretending that the possibility of getting rich themselves becomes less likely every day that the Plutocracy gains power.

Can't disagree. Take my Evangelical relatives during the campaign...they hated Trump with a passion--which is no surprise, and wanted Cruz (who in my book is just as bad in different ways, but I digress). Trump could not be more opposite to the things they claim to value as Christians. But oh how that changed when he became the nominee. He is now the object of their hero worship, to a degree that to me is truly frightening...like Neo the One levels of adulation.

Again it's just team ball and a desire for authoritarianism (in the name of "security"). And of course the real motivation for the candidates (money in vast amounts changing hands in high places) gets ignored as others have stated.
No offense to your peeps but this is the classic CBD talked about here often. There was a poll posted in another thread that shows this very thing

Tag team trolling, huh? Are you still craving delicious liberal tears?

Perhaps your own are too bitter.
What tears? I'm still winning.
"
Over the past couple of weeks, as the media and congressional Democrats have focused on Comey and the Washington impeachment circus, Trump has been on a roll.

He named 12 new well-regarded federal judges to the bench, rolled back one of the EPA's "most expensive regulations ever," put an end to Obama's corrupt policy of using public money to enrich far-left activist groups, pulled the U.S. out of the laughably bad but absurdly costly Paris Climate Change Agreement, and continued a far-reaching reversal of regulations that the American Action Forum called a "profound" shift in policy that will have a major impact on the U.S. economy.

And on Thursday, while Comey spoke and Democrats fumed, the House passed a bill that would undo some of the most pernicious elements of the Dodd-Frank law — another promise Trump made and is now on the verge of keeping.

Not bad for two weeks' work."

I believe that Mueller & his team will act with integrity. I'm willing to adjust my attitude about it all based on their conclusions.

I suspect that there's a lot going on under the surface of all this, a lot of real detective work. All we see are little bits & pieces of a much larger body of information that they're assembling. They'll tell us about it when they sort it out.

Whatever happens after that is out of their hands.

That's a very sensible position. I'm going to do the same as best I can - it's the only way to stay sane through all this shit.
I apologize about mocking you and other Dems for going ballistic before Trump even enter office. What a freaking disaster.
This is one independent who is being driven more to the left because of Trump and the GOP congress.

I'm registered independant, but I'm not even close to the conservatives anymore. Between the gerrymandering, the last 8 years of pathetic behaviour, I may just register Democrat out of prinicple alone. The right is too nutty for me, and pretty much everything we used to have in common is long ago in a galaxy far away.

Bad air & enabling financial instability are victories for the American people how, exactly?

Or are the People now the enemy of the People?

@Jhhnn: Taj there doesn't understand any of this. He has no idea what the implications of these things are. And he doesn't care, because in what passes for his mind, all this means is "people on my team are losing."

Losing what, exactly, he doesn't know either. He thinks this is like some football match or something. Ye gods, save us from spectator-sport politics...

Obama's corrupt policy of using public money to enrich far-left activist groups

I have to admit, I was curious about this one. No evidence found of "far-left activist groups" in that article, though I'm wondering whether "far-left" is starting to be used to mean just about anything that the person using it doesn't like. Do you like the environment? You must be far-left!

Thats a valid point. If one does not stay vigilant with the truth these 'sub facts' have a tendency to ease their way through unchallenged.

Far left means not far right. When things are that polarized, they only see in extreme.

I have to wonder now if taj, blueballs, underoos, and maxipad are all the same person under different alts honestly. Only the people who can see IP logs will know for sure though, and of course if they're using proxies, then even that goes out the window...

I think you're giving them too much credit. IMO, if anything, they're secondary accounts of conservative posters who don't want to be seen as raving loons.
