Ah yes, American Imperialism, thats what it was. I remember when Obama went to Pakistan and told the government they were nothing, and that the land belonged to America now.

You need to have actual conquest and acquisition for it to be imperialism, you loving idiot. The root word is empire. Again, words actually loving means something, and its not "they didn't declare a hundred years of milkshakes and hugs and burn all weapons".

See what I mean? Word and context don't mean anything to leftists compared to screaming about how Democrats are evil and just as bad as Republicans. They just throw around buzzwords when reality is ugly and you think that the only reason that things aren't perfect is because Democrats actively hate them and are evil.

He was great enough that he lost the primary miserably aand decided to stay in long after he lost just to make it even more bitter and divisive.

And cue claiming it was a conspiracy against him and he was too pure to win, man.

Also, his wife committed bank fraud if we're just going to legitimize all right wing talking points.

While he's right, the GOP base would have sucked up whatever the GOP did, including leaving the ACA, the shift to 'destroying our democracy' isn't a great one.

I think I had read that without going through reconciliation, any tax cuts would have to have a sunset provision like the Bush era ones did. So they ideally want to have permanent tax cuts that they can enshrine into law.

Keep in mind that Trump literally has no idea what Obamacare actually is from a policy perspective. He's a full-on mark. He legitimately has no understanding of the obstacles Republicans are facing right now.

Ah, so Yemen and Pakistan are client states. I assume that is why Obama hand picked the leaders of these countries and they were forced to pay tribute to America. Meanwhile, Isis are the brave freedom fighters trying to bring the people the leaders they truly want.

Again, client state has a meaning too, and this doesn't fall anywhere close to it. So whats the next buzzword that Obama was guilty of? Heretical Bonapartism? Anti-neolithicism?

I thought you were just a rube to be taken in by Cuckerburg, but this is a new level of boorishness. I have never in my life seen someone try to dismiss imperialism as an umbrella buzzword with no actual bearing on modern American hegemony, nevermind historical American expansion, just because we didn't literally annex Pakistan. Like, how do you even address this level of reactionary literalism?

Nothing worse than a self righteous sanctimonious POS racist, misogynist mormon who thinks he has ethics and that he is better than everyone else.

FLAKE, LEE, and whatever other mormons we have in the Senate need to be voted out of office.
-
I don't f.. in get those RINOS, they asked us for the HOUSE, they begged us for the SENATE, they implored us for the EXECUTIVE and we delivered ALL, now that they have all they don't deliver, SAD!!!
-
WHY IS IT SO drat HARD TO JUST GO BACK TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE THIS PARASITE OBUMA TOOK OFFICE?
-
Trump should address the nation on TV and explain that we cannot pass a bill because the democrats wont participate, and many republicans are obstructionists..He should then name every one of them that was against the bill and tell the voters that these are the people to blame..He should then announce that Obamacare will die and give an approximate date for that..He should end the session by telling America that he tried, but the aforementioned people tied his hands
-
I  will never blame PDJT, it is all on the F..in RINOS. Infuriating!!!
