Remember when Obama deported more people than Bush (or Trump), and bombed 8 countries, and then democrats won all elections forever because all the moderate republicans started voting democrat?

Dems can spill rivers of blood. Republicans will still win the hogs by promising to double it.

Remember when Obummer did exactly what the GOP wanted and then the Georgia Ag sector crashed because there were no undocumented farm workers for the harvest and America runs on ag workers paid starvation wages off the books?

I would love to pick through that man's brain to try to figure out what the fuck he was ever thinking.

West Wing reruns mostly.

If the American People see the democrats trying to compromise with the republicans by giving them half the budget (even though Dems have a super majority), the republicans will be compelled by their better nature to reciprocate. And if they don't, surely the American people will vote for the Dems for being so magnanimous.

This was reflected in most of his speeches and press ops.

Instead of "Here's how we're gonna help you", his healthcare speech was "Skin in the game! This is not a handout, fuck those welfare queens, we're gonna help people get skin in the game! so they can buy their own healthcare on a free market".

Instead of "Beating the shit out of a black dude for standing in his front yard is bad", they had the both sides beer, where the cop who beat this guy and arrested him in front of his family and neighbors got to sit down and have one(1) beer with his victim.
