...interesting...

..."progressives" can revel in the butthurt of their opponents... but anyone reveling in the butthurt they displayed over Hillary losing is tantamount to "bullying" or full-on "violence".

Are you guys EVER going to learn that double-standards not only don't work, they only make you look even worse?
do tell, which candidate did you vote for, precious little snowflake?

There is no difference between laughing at the anguish of people whose worst authoritarian tendencies have been thwarted and laughing at the people who you elected a president to hurt being horrified that they share a country with you and yours.

None whatsoever.

Can you point to anybody hurt because we aren't going to turn the judiciary into a political tool in this case? Do you understand why that's essential to the comparison?

Right-wing attempts at tu quoque nearly inevitably fail because they're based on a concept of the left's ideas that isn't a good faith attempt at understanding but a an attempt to find something to mock, which results in hideous, intellectually dishonest caricature.

Lock Her Up got lots of cheers just like "We will close Guantanimo Bay" probably got a lot of cheers.

Just like "Compassionate Conservatism" got a lot of cheers.

When will people ever learn?

Please. Of those 3, only "Lock her up!" provided the opportunity to howl at the moon & vent mindless rage.

We don't jail political opponents here, so fair enough. We're not some kind of dictatorship.

Seeing as how your average Retardlican loves to compare the US to a shithole like Saudi Arabia, is it any wonder they elected a lying fsckwit who will turn the States into the Christian theocracy of said third-world gutter? Feel free to call it the "Saudi America" (I expect royalties)

"TRUMP: I'll tell you what. I didn't think I'd say this, and I'm going to say it, and hate to say it: If I win, I'm going to instruct the attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there's never been so many lies, so much deception … A very expensive process, so we're going to get a special prosecutor because people have been, their lives have been destroyed for doing one-fifth of what you've done. And it's a disgrace, and honestly, you ought to be ashamed."

no. you are an idiot. none of the others got chants at rallies across the nation and all the time.

and actually, Obama did try to close down Guantanamo. Trump, as per his statements so far, isn't going to try to lock her up.

i hope you are disappointed.
