5 Things Right-Wingers Can Do To Feel Better About Being Such Losers This Week

When the GOP took the Senate in a disturbing yet predictable red and purple state election cycle, liberals and moderates worried that with our only defense of the absolute insanity of the right-wing being the White House that the President’s last two years would be wrought with disappointment and riddled with vetoes. Within a couple of weeks, a revitalized Barack Obama took to the task of governing, and decided that if congress was determined to continue sitting on their hands doing nothing, he would move the country forward himself.

The result was a calmer, cooler President with little to lose, taking what would normally be a lame duck half-term and turning it into a history making, GOP butthurt-causing time to point at them and laugh.

Stupidity, bigotry, ignorance and hate would not win.

This past week is the epitome of shame for the right. Not only did their nemesis, the black man in the White House, get to see his signature healthcare law cemented down by the Supreme Court, the actions of one of their own unspeakably evil conservatives led to the demise of a century and a half old racist symbol that adorned government buildings, courtyards, and monuments throughout the south.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Become a democrat and see how much better life can be when you actually think about something other than yourself!

That is the answer to everything. So what if they lost some ground on social issues? Time to turn up the screws on the poor - more shaming, more humiliation, fewer benefits, more taxes and fees.

Obama's accomplishment regarding the TPP and TTIP. A huge accomplishment for corporations with the help of both houses and Obama.
