Yeah if he loved America he wouldn't've violated one of its founding tenants across the globe

Oh no they can just insult, scold, and abandon their voters and they will still come home. You don't understand, Democratic politicians are entitled to the votes of minorities.

But, but, but ... no matter the politics of their candidate clicking their heels and saying the magic words "vote us to stop the other guy" has always worked as their main electoral strategy.

Obviously with such a magical and infallible electoral strategy, this election loss can only be explained by there being something wrong with the voters themselves as that strategy makes the quality and politics of the candidate be irrelevant!

So Abe Lincoln was going to put Simon Cameron in his cabinet. Cameron was kind of a piece of shit, and so Thaddeus Stevens when he heard this got alarmed. When questioned about if he was really saying that Cameron would steal, Thaddeus Stevens thought for a minute and said, well, "I don't think he would steal a red-hot stove."

So the story got around because it is funny. Abe Lincoln in particular thought it was one of the funniest things he ever heard (also while he made Cameron Secretary of War) and told many people. So eventually of course it got back to Cameron. Cameron was pissed, and angrily demanded that Stevens take back the slur on his character.

So Thaddeus Stevens after Cameron had yelled at him said, "Well, he is very mad, and he made me promise to retract. I will now do so. I believe I told you he would not steal a red-hot stove. I now take that back."

Not doing one out 1000 horrible things is not worthy of respect.

In fact, opposing it fits Cheney's character because his entire evil persona was based on getting everyone else to do his evil bidding within the working government. Someone trying to overthrow a system he manipulated was a personal attack by Trump. Cheney didn't oppose it out of his love for America or anything, he opposed it because it undermined his life's work and he took it personally.

Yeah. And Hitler liked his dog. Definitely peoples-is-peoples kind of things but if i was a global political figure i might err on the side of quiet for some sentiments.

Trump’s gonna bite it one of these days and when he does, any self-conscious politician who hopes to win office with a progressive bent better watch their fuckin p’s and q’s.

Democrats are mostly reasonable, and responsible, but as in the last forty years, there’s an opportunity to destroy fascists (like Cheney) and the more they ignore it the more they lose. It’s a fine line, to be sure, between “responsible tomorrow / better jobs” and “BLOOOOOOOD!!!”. But they need to have thought that through again because their consultants are old and broken.

Justice and Politics need to sort their shit out yesterday.

Those two are just as dead to me as the dead villains they insisted on lionizing.

Centrist Democrats seem to have a compulsive need to virtue signal at every opportunity. They don’t have good policy so they have to prove their moral superiority, which might have worked a decade ago, but just makes them look spineless now.

That’s true but we have limits. Torture and War Criminal are over the line. Showing dignity and respect for Hitler should not be a tweet.

She would have saved us from chaos and violence though.

Those things are two different conversations.

This isn't building bridges though. No Republican is going to be moved or softened by this statement. It's going to actively alienate the people who are supposed to like you though. The best move is to simply say nothing at all.

All this bullshit tells me is that those in power are still seeing this as nothing but business, like what we're going through is simply a contract negotiation. No hard feelings. That they can watch their colleagues cause the death and misery of thousands and then leave that at the door and go grab a drink with that person.

What leadership role is she in right now? I thought she was on a book selling tour.

Christians really love to preach how moral they are by praising pedophiles, racists and racists, don't they?

Fuck you respect and values. Respect is earned and values are knowing how to embrace the good and distancing yourself from the bad. Not your Hollywood version of it.

Murder and war crimes are only "differences of opinion" among the worst criminals.

Just so you know I didn't draw this, its a fairly popular meme image.

Yeah they were on a roll until the imperial brainwashing kicked in at the end.

If this is gonna be that kind of party, I’m gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes.

She will definitely be in the primary, assuming there is one (I just doubt that establishment Dems would dare keep her out), but my hope is that she will get squashed pretty quickly.

His family continue his path. His daughter Liz was running a US support covert operations to funnel money to group in foreign countries under the name of development.

These people business and connections are built on the killing and murdering of innocent people.
