I know you think in terms of revenge thats who you are. But we Democrats have more important concerns than exacting revenge on the party that put an idiot like Trump in the White House.
In other words, you need not fear that the Democrats will collude with the Russians to elect one of their own assets to the US presidency. We dont do treason thats your shtick, not ours.
No Democratic president will be handing over classified information to Russian operatives in the Oval Office, or in some game of one-upmanship will be taking the word of Putin over that of our own intelligence agencies.
Rest assured we would never get back at you by putting a dumb-ass buffoon in the White House. Besides, even if we wanted to, we have no one on our side of the aisle who could possibly match the stupidity of the semi-literate idiot you foisted on the nation. So even if we were out to get you by outdoing your pResidents stupidity, we simply dont have the appropriate personnel.
We wont be electing and then supporting and enabling a corrupt, bloviating liar to govern our nation just to show you how it feels. We wont be relinquishing our sworn duty to represent the People in order to adhere to the whims of a mentally unstable con-artist.
The next Democratic president wont be nominating anyone to the Supreme Court who spends his confirmation hearing talking about how much he loves beer, or asking congress members if theyve ever blacked-out from drinking. The next Democratic president will also not be nominating a credibly-accused sexual predator to the SCOTUS. Again, thats your area of expertise having successfully done it twice.
The next Democratic president will fulfill his duties by working rather than tweeting and watching TV. He/she will read their daily briefings in full, and will rely on the expertise of competent advisors instead of relying on the inane opinions of their children, TV show personalities, and/or other assorted ass-kissers.
Be assured that the Democrats will do in future what theyve always done. They will put the welfare of the nation and its citizens first. Making your lives miserable although tempting wont be the focus of people who will be extremely busy undoing the damage your pResident has done.
As much as youre going to hate having all three branches of government under Democratic control which is where were headed there is an upside for the GOP. You wont have to spend every hour of every day defending a lying, pussy-grabbing traitor and lying yourselves in order to cover up your own possible (probable) complicity in crimes against the country and the American people.
So chin-up, Republicans. Once you get over the fact that things like patriotism, honesty, the rule of law, morals, ethics, and a competent administration are back, youll survive or not, as the case may be.
Take comfort in the fact that the Democrats wont be doing anything to prove they can be just as despicable as you are by electing some treasonous douchebag to the highest position in the land. We figure youll get your just desserts as you watch your powers fade, your supporters abandon you, and face the political PR nightmare of having to explain why you ever elected a traitor in the first place.

May the Gangsters Of Putin be expunged from our government. Let them seek positions closer to Putin.
(Only had to trash a half dozen Schultz threads tonight to find this. What's up with that? Been trashing 'em all day and they keep popping up like weeds).

(15,334 posts)I want a shit-ton of old racist white folks from the Dumbfuckistan parts of 'MeriKKKa, to get to enjoy the pleasure of having to travel 100 miles to their "polling place" (preferably in a minority-majority part of town), only to find out that it's closed, there are not enough ballots, the voting machines are locked in a different location and no one has the keys.
I at least want to fucksticks to understand what it feels like to have the franchise taken from them by state fiat. They could still figure out how to vote after some "inconvenience", but if they don't, we'll just call them 'lazy'
Oh, and maybe some drones that will jam every AM hate-radio station in the country and replace the broadcast with elevator music.
Just give me those two things please.

(12,545 posts)who will shout at the questioners, sob for no discernible reason and then says how much he likes drinking beer. Only Republicans would approve of such a candidate. And as for Trump, oh boy, just google Trump lies.
John Cleese was right. The cabinet looks like the crew of a pirate ship.

They took millions of Russian campaign funding and maybe even pocket money.
