    I just wanted to give you the opportunity to get on your moral soapbox. You seem to like it. But i guess only very selectively.

    Ehh.... he kinda did. And he’s kinda operated his entire presidential policy around undoing everything Obama did. Someone just gave him a list of all of Obama’s accomplishments and he said “I got this.. I can F this up real nice”.

    Hence his insistence on getting rid of the ACA. No one in their right mind thinks it’s good politics to destroy the ACA protections without at least an equivalent replacement. But no.. Trump just wants it destroyed... why?? Well you guessed it.

    Wrong. He ran against Clinton. You are simply wrong. There is no kind of. He straight up didn't run against Obama.

    Good lord. Why fight so hard on this one? Seriously?

    Go talk to one person that watches FoxNews, and ask them if there is a huge difference in their minds between Obama and Hillary, or Nancy Pelosi, or now Joe Biden. Even then, regardless....



    November 2015
    "I think he's a threat to our country," Trump said on a radio show.
    January 2016
    "Obama is one of the worst negotiators on everything I've ever seen except for when it comes to dealing with the Republicans," Trump said in an interview with NBC News.
    March 2016
    "He may be the worst thing to ever happen to Israel, believe me," Trump said at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual conference.
    June 2016
    "There's something going on," Trump intoned about Obama in a June interview, suggesting Obama was sympathetic to radical Islamist terrorists.
    "You know, people cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words radical Islamic terrorism," he said on Fox News. "There's something going on — it's inconceivable. There's something going on."

    August 2016
    "I think he's the worst president maybe in the history of our country," said Trump on Fox News.
    He also called Obama a "disaster," "weak" and "ineffective" in the interview, echoing many of his criticisms of Obama on the campaign trail.

    August, 2016
    "ISIS is honoring President Obama. He's the founder of ISIS. He's the founder of ISIS. He's the founder. He founded ISIS," Trump said at an August 10, 2016, campaign rally.

    Yes..... Trump ran against Obama in 2016. He ran as someone he presented as in complete opposition to Obama. Everything.... and he even went there with ISIS to dog whistle to the racists to remind everyone that Obama has a Muslim sounding name. You seriously cannot be fighting this one this hard can you? Everyone runs against the former sitting president. Even sometimes within their own party. So what? Of course, not everyone goes full blown David Duke racist about it, but I guess that's just Trump being Trump amiright?

    Objecting to the policies of the Netanyahu Administration cannot, and should not be conflated with support for Israel's existence, and antisemitism. This guy is just plain wrong that disagreeing with Israeli policy under Netanyahu and antisemitism are the same thing. We cannot as a country allow support for Israel to become so politically charged that you HAVE TO give any Israeli leader a blank check to do anything they want or else be labeled an antisemite.

    Dems cannot allow this conflation to become a talking point. Objecting to the Trump administration separating children from their parents at the border does not make you anti-American. That is insane.

    People assume Russian bots are creating fake news when all they need is to pick the scabs of both sides.

    Who cares which side promotes antisemitism more. How about we stop it instead?

    you mean like how trump was a socially liberal, pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-clinton, pro-democrat, nyc elitist until obama became president?

    your god trump was obviously triggered by a black guy getting elected president. it caused him to totally flip on most of his core political beliefs.

    The thing about Trump is I'm sure he has racist tendencies but not enough where he is ideologically racist. He doesn't care about it enough to do things like read white supremacist literature and actually organize his thoughts on racism. It's just more of a reflexive action for him. You know, the type of random blue collared white New Yorker or Bostonian who sees a Indian guy and makes a stereotypical joke about him in kind of a light hearted way that shows more immaturity rather than hatred.

    The reason why he did a 180 pivot in his politics is because he saw the market demand that required easy lowest common denominator pandering to racists that he knows he has the capability of doing really well. He knew that a significant portion of the country was deeply disturbed by someone with the middle name "Hussein" as the president and he grifted on it.

    There is no "factual" here because these takes are purely in the realm of subjective opinions. It's a subjective opinion to attribute criticizing and boycotting Israel as an attack on the Jewish ethnicity similar to how criticizing Iran and boycotting them is subjectivity Islamaphobic. I subjectively disagree that it is Islamaphobic just like I'm sure you do also.

    The thing about you as a poster, you would rather just post random articles of other people's subjective takes rather than flesh out your own arguments and debate me with your own words why you think Omar is anti-Semitic.

    Do you think Bernie is anti-Semitic?

    Also, in the past half decade, the vast majority of of anti-Semitic attacks in the US that resulted in deaths are committed by people who hate Ilhan Omar and her ilk also. That kinda throws a wrench in the narrative that her rhetoric inspires violence.

    You are incorrect. The Criminal in Chief has no core beliefs, outside of his narcissism.

    White Supremacists hating Jews but loving Israel is a real conundrum. Maybe the fine people wearing the white hoods want all of the Jews to die except for a handful to keep Israel going, so we can get our End of the World on?

    Clearly this are the deep thinkers we need running the WH.

    The inherent racism here that throws a giant red flag up for any second generation American is that the executive branch of our government has entirely different rhetoric for anti-Semitic attacks fron White Americans compared to non-white Americans. If you are a second generation American, you are still held in the eyes of this adminstration as "to be determined as a real American". Just notice the rhetoric when a white supremacist does these snti-semetic attacks. Language about "going against American values" is nearly non existence. Of course they condemn them but in a totally different way often invoking mental health issues.

    At the end of the day, it's just another small drop in the ocean of actions that divide the nation.
