May 2016

I have seen this same kind of bullshit when pretty much the same crowd here on DU went after Obama, and made up shit so they could make him look bad. There is no way in hell anyone here can foresee what Hillary is going to do or not do. Like with President Obama though, the same bunch "assume" all kinds of shit that never happened, and instead of just waiting around to see the final results, they ran around spreading bullshit day in and day out. When their predictions did not come to be, did they apologize for their mistake? Hell no, they just went on to the next insane rant about things that had not happened, and never would.

Sadly this year the same gang, and a whole bunch of Rove and Trump trolls have merged and now then have a monopoly on DU where they can post all kinds of shit they pull out of their_____________, and as long as their gang of bashers accept whatever it is, they get away with it. God I can' wait till this shit is all over and hopefully DU goes back to a site for Democrats, the trolls go back under their bridges till the next election, and the trouble makers stay get banned for good.
