They have not and more than likely never will accept the results of the November '16 election. They didn't accept the election of Bush 2 also. It's juvenile. But they fully expect to be taken seriously. I laugh at their antics every single day.
and birtherism was an acceptance of the Negro too.

They have been throwing a non-stop tantrum for more than a year now.

If you saw an administration that lied constantly, discriminated against anyone who wasn't a white straight Christian male, censored science and embraced nepotism and corruption on a new level, wouldn't you fight back with every fiber of your being?

Oh wait, no you wouldn't -- because you're easily swayed and spineless.

Again you lying fuck nobody said that would happen.

You are so spineless if someone called your wife a whore you would still stand up and clap for them like a trained seal. If any of your brain cells still work you would understand the CBC and other Dems sitting on their hands.


You anti-Trumpers are coming off like spoiled children.

And yes, there were leftists stating the "economy would never recover" if Trump was elected.

I am not a "white straight Christian male". And I in no way feel discriminated against under Trump. Today's liberals are just soft as tissue and looking for any reason to be upset and offended.

Well, understand, Slow's mother once commented that the best part of Slow soaked into the VW Bug's rear seat, upon which he was conceived.

You don't even read your own evidence.
From Andrew Ross Sorkin article
In truth, it’s impossible to predict how the markets would settle into a Trump presidency, despite the speculation on all sides. In all likelihood, it will take time for investors to truly make sense and “math out” how his policies would affect the economy.

Don't be obtuse. I posted several articles citing several leftists. There were leftists, supposedly smart ones (including at least one Nobel prize winner), that claimed the economy would collapse under Trump, that it would "never recover". You can dance around this all you want, but you are plainly wrong in saying no one ever said that.

Isnt it too soon to tell? I mean his economy only started in October. Why dont we wait a few year to see how it pans out before claiming victory one way or another.

The full story will be told over the course of his term(s). But to this point, they are wrong, and more than that, it was said by leftists and denying it was said is silly.

Doesn't mean others aren't. Do you ever actually think about people other than yourself? I mean, you're the one who's thrilled at getting $185 extra per month from a tax plan that takes health care away from millions.

But what if it does collapse in the next 3 years badly? Then they would end up being right. My point is not to claim you have a victory over them when its too early to say one way or another what will happen.

I'm not thrilled, but I'm happy to keep more money that I earn. Nothing wrong with that. No one has to lose health insurance, there are options out there. I am thinking about others when I say that I think Trump's tax plan is good for the middle class.

The full story will be told over his terms, I agree. But, did you read anything I posted? When Trump won the markets were down, and the NY Times author said that the markets will never recover. He was plainly wrong. Also, again, more importantly, voices from the left did make the claim that Trump would ruin the economy, and saying they didn't say that is a lie or ignorance. Now with the evidence plainly here in front, it is hard to claim ignorance.

I totally 100% agree. The right went a bit wild over Obama winning twice, then Trump won and the left is upping (lowering?) the bar today.

perspective. if you think this is "lowering" the bar compared to the right's unending nonsense false accusations against Obama, then you truly are gaslighted. This is wholly incomparable.

Remind me how many legitimate investigations Obama had to deal with? Remind me why Drump doesn't even have the will of his majority party right now? Have you actually been paying attention to what is going on around the country this last year, in response to this tire fire of an administration?

Oh wait, no you wouldn't -- because you're easily swayed and spineless.

We've been fighting back for a long time then based on your qualifiers with a cavet of race based discrimination not just pro-white males.

you're not keeping more money. You're borrowing from yourself. You're taking on more debt and paying interest on "your money." You refuse to understand this, don't you? It's plain as day in the tax bill, but you fucking refuse to see it.

Why do you so gleefully take on more debt like this, just so a handful of billionaires can run away with this money of yours? Why do you do this? Do you simply not care that this is happening? What will it take for you to accept these facts?

Obama dealt with zero investigations because we are learning that top DOJ officials and the MSM were working to cover up or ignoring corruption during the Obama era.
