I wonder if, as these last few days tick away, Obama thinks to himself "Maybe if I didn't insult and denigrate everyone that disagreed with me. Maybe if my supporters didn't declare Nuclear War on Republicans. Maybe if I actually tried to work with Republicans and met in the middle somewhere or at least moved forward on areas of agreement. Maybe I actually could have accomplished something besides hundreds of thousands of dead civilians in the Middle East."

An entire Presidency wasted. His entire legacy will be erased.

Thanks, Obama.

Thank you.

Don't worry, everyone will still blame Bush and Trump anyway.

If you lie enough times, people think that it becomes true.

At least this time, we have someone who will fight back against those lies.

Nah, I'm sure he feels some pretty potent self righteous fulfillment for almost bringing the country to it's knees

After 8 years of blaming Obama for everything, it will be a nice change.

That's how Trump got elected.

Everyone lies just some are better than others.

Strange, I don't recall Obama blaming himself for every single thing.

Here's 21 prime examples of Obama blaming somebody else (his usual fall guy is Bush) for his administration's failures. And remember, this was back in 2014.

Continue being clueless. Maybe when Trump wins in 2020, you might finally realize how he got into power. But then again, probably not.

Well, he has already surpassed Bush in the number of pardons, and broke the record of number of pardons issued in a single day, so if you committed a crime, most especially a violent crime, Obama will save you!

Majority of people being granted clemency are in drug related charges, bank fraud, mail fraud, fraud, tax evasion and espionage/leaking government information.

Newly Discovered Moth Species Named After Trump
The Daily Beast

No, it isn't a joke.


Nor is the picture photoshopped.

Quote:
Just days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, he has the honor of having a newly discovered species of moth named after him. Evolutionary biologist Vazrick Nazari, who dubbed the new species Neopalpa donaldtrumpi, said he was inspired by “the resemblance of the scales on the frons (head) of the moth to Mr. Trump’s hairstyle” in the Zookeys scientific journal....

Hey, it could be worse. Trump could be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize before he actually does anything, and then either continues the various wars he was in when elected or allows, even helps conflicts to occur in the Middle East. Cause, you know, got to receive that prize before you earn it, right?

That and some of the questions are beyond stupid. The Pocahontas and Carson exchange made me wonder what planet she comes from.

Remember grab the patriarchy by the balls !

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-waxwork-madrid-topless-protest_us_587e18dfe4b03549ebc065c6?section=us_women

A topless feminist protester groped a waxwork of Donald Trump during its official unveiling in Madrid, Spain, on Tuesday morning.

The unidentified woman, who had “grab back” and “grab patriarchy by the balls” scrawled in English across her bare chest and back, reportedly broke through a security cordon to grab the crotch area of the life-sized statue of the U.S. president-elect.

I hope our government funded this amazing well thought out study. I can't wait til next year when they do another one with contradictory results.

Quote:
“In fact,” he continued “there is no problem if some of your beliefs contradict each other. Our study proves them all to be true. Like if you believe that all life is sacred, our study finds conclusive evidence to support this claim. But if you also believe that your annoying friend Trisha is a stupid *** woman who deserves to die, we also found evidence to support that claim!”

Oh. Never mind folks I guess contradicting is totally acceptable now. Who said Obama accomplished nothing in his 8 years!?!

That person used an Onion-like source as evidence of his argument, so just ignore him.

Groundbreaking study has shown that the U.S. ranks last in grasping glaring satire.

The person posted a satirical article for the sake of humor not to back up a point. The fact you two took it seriously is evidence that the two of you shouldn't be taken seriously.

With some people here, it's hard to tell if they are being serious or not. Especially since they use the same argument all the time, and when called out on it, either say "it's satire" or go crying to a mod asking them to save them from their own argument.

So what is gonna happen to Assange now that he goes to USA? Almost feels like he traded his life for Manning's(for those unaware he said he'll go to USA if Obama pardoned Manning - and now he confirmed it).
