As if Democrats are the only thing preventing Republicans from going after Social Security and Medicare. Hell, I hope they do it, maybe the Senate would flip too instead of just the House.

There's still dudes trying, after the brazen GOP bill to provide over $1,000,000,000,000 in kickbacks to quite literally the top <%1 of the US, to say it's the dems that are skating on thin financial ice?

Conservatives have been making bald-faced lies about this since Nixon and Goldwater, why do you think they'd suddenly begin arguing in good faith now?

noise in your head.




quote:
Editorial cartoons tend to be critical by nature, so whenever we feature President Bush, it is usually to criticize a particular policy stance of his, e.g., expanding domestic socialism, advocating a Palestinian state , showing deference to the U.N., etc. But this cartoon shows what we admire about him -- his willingness to use force to protect America from its enemies. Now if he'd just stop playing the diplomacy game...


Yes, because the main criticism of George Bush was that he wasn't enough of a war-monger

So if conservatives don't think Democrats want to regulate guns to save human life, why do they think Democrats do it? Like where's the profit in just selfishly wanting to take guns away from people?? Where's the personal gain?

Fool! The only reason we aren't a dictatorship right now is because the US military wielded by a wannabe dictator would be too scared of all those guns everywhere.

They think it's about control: control of the government against good innocent Americans. I think they also think that liberals hate and/or are afraid of guns, which means that they don't want anyone else to have one.

The type of conservative who believe this kind of thing usually aren't acting in good faith, and they project that onto their enemies.

That's what people used to look like before our attempts to sequence the human genome caused God to turn us all into amoebas as retribution though.

So the original painting is "Washington crosses the Delaware," to I assume attack the British, somewhere. The boat's labeled retribution for russian meddling so basically you'd EXPECT the president to, like Washington, stand at the front of the ship and lead the charge. Trump being Trump isn't doing that, and the soldiers in the boat are all "wtf".

But why would evil Democrats want only control of good innocent Americans? What does pure control over people's lives do for them? Just give them a happy feeling?
