Yeah, I know the market is doing fine, but that didn't save Hilliary.
It's funny, in conjunction with the link that Turd posted in the other thread: conservatives are quick to chide liberals for believing uncritically everything they hear about Trump, but simultaneously regurgitate every talking point that Rush or Fox & Friends has given them over the years about Obama & Hillary, without any reflection at all. Yeah, ok.
- Like using the IRS against political enemies?
I know this is a big article of faith with you guys, with the whole impeach Koskinnen movement and everything, but this didn't actually happen.
- Or arming drug dealers to encourage gun control legislation?
Conflating two things, one of which didn't happen (but yes was discussed, maybe even "planned").
- Or Lieing about keeping your doctor?
Did Obama lie, or did he try and fail to keep a campaign promise? I'm sure keeping your doctor was in the first draft proposal. I'm sure Obama wanted it. We didn't get it. I'm sorry it pissed you off so much.
- Or sending literally planloads of cash to our enemies?
You mean the money that was owed to them? The money we settled on to avoid the world court judgement against us that would have septupled the amount with penalties going back over 30 years? That money? Is the objection that we paid
cash, or that we paid it at all?
