    Something something enjoy your republican overlords for the rest of time.

    Seriously what the fuck is the democratic party doing anymore. It seriously feels like the second Obama left they collectively forgot what the fuck they were doing.

      It’s because they had nothing to do with Obama. Obama was the result of the last honest primary with no fuckery, and the DNC immediately regretted it. They wanted Hillary to get the nomination in '08, so they forced her through in '16.

      Authoritarianism is oddly efficient in making decisions and having direction. Such are the perils of democracy… an opposition that embodies shared decision making and balance of power will often look slower, incompetent and out of touch…

      They’re just aiding Trump. Their silence os complicity. They’re on the same side.

      And that is not the side of the people.

      They collectively forgot what they were doing when Bill Clinton abused his position to get sucked off by an intern.

        I still believe in my heart of hearts that Bill and Hillary are swingers or have an open marriage and that they only got married for political reasons. When Bill got caught getting his rocks off in oval office they figured infidelity would be easier to stomach for the American people than the truth which is they they have an open marriage lol.

        I have absolutely zero actual proof for this belief but I have chosen to believe this is what happened.

          You’re not alone, I’ve thought this for decades too. Their marriage strikes me either as one of those medieval dynastic alliances, or Hillary wanting to puppeteer Bill to achieve her own ends.

            Our only hope is that Monica says something before she passes. Poor woman was lambasted for doing ostensibly nothing wrong. Naughty and in poor taste sure, but come on now. Who wouldn’t wanna get sucked off in the oval office. I will bet money right now that the first female president is gonna get eaten out on the resolute desk.

            Shit someone probably already has been eaten out on that desk… Imagine if it could speak lol. The stories it would have haha.
