    I was kind of hoping for that sociopathic blob of shit to rot alone and die somehow. That kinda sucks.

    Arpaio is a fat cackling criminal and corrupt bimbo, plain and simple.

    A gift for his "base" and a middle finger for the liberals. Sounds to me like a win-win for the Trumpster.

    It's like listening to R. Kelly bitch about pedophiles. Just admit that you didn't know what you were doing when you voted.

    I voted Clinton (not just her, you knew you were getting the whole package).

    Sadly, in hindsight you still didn't know what you were getting. Seeing how Hillary is now, she's off the rails. I think I would have just abstained and voted down ballot. I mean hell, who would have predicted that in the last week trump would act like a democrat? Who would have predicted he would act *gasp* presidential? Certainly not me.

    That's my interpretation of what she's said in the media since the election and specifically what she has said since her book was published.

    I know that view is open to interpretation, but that is my view of it at least.

    Personally I feel that the two party system lends itself if not encourages this kind of thing. She could have done different, and better in my opinion. But I'm not her and I wasn't there. Hell if I was in her position I'd probably try to murder that dumbass fucker.

    Maybe I am misreading what I am seeing but is she staying in the picture because she intends on running again in 2020? If that is the case, then that has to be one of the worst eventualities the Democrats could be facing in the next election.

    She's stated she's not running again but will be active in other ways.

    Like shilling on the paid speech tour and saying whatever she wants to promote whatever book she just wrote. Supports single payer now that it costs her nothing to do so.

    Politicians are scumbags. I don't care which party the belong to.

    Yeah I understand that's your view and it is open to interpretation. I was hoping you could substantiate it with an example. Otherwise it just sounds like you're talking out of your ass.

    Maybe you could even give an example of something as dumb and outrageous as maybe giving the madman leader of an adversarial country with nukes a derisive nickname and tweeting it.

    I don't get the Hillary hate. I didn't like her and I think she's not inspirational but especially now with all Trump is doing, there was no choice.

    Look at all the bullshit:

    Sessions wanting to punish marijuana use as a crime and getting rid of DOJ oversight of law enforcement agencies.

    Betsy DeVos wanting to favor the accused and perpetrators of sex crimes on college campuses and putting a DeVry University bigwig into one of the main oversight positions of the crimes of for profit universities (of whom Trump was one but he settled). And backing the defunding of the public school system and arguing in favor of charter schools when she has left Michigan public schools a huge mess and one of the worst rated school systems in the country.

    Kris Kobach and this secretive committee/task force on voter fraud, of which there is no reasonable evidence.

    Banning transgender folk from serving in the military when the military (i.e., the people who would be experts) have determined there is no major issue with them serving.

    Saying incitive, offensive, and ridiculous things on Twitter about North Korea and the Kim, talking shit about the UK and their handling of terrorist incidents without any information about what occurred.

    Being more concerned about pleasing the fossil fuel industry rather than actually supporting and creating jobs for all the folks who have lost jobs in that industry while denying climate change and refusing to back or invest in green energy.

    Refusing to divest himself from his business and profiting off the "official" use of his properties while refusing to be clear and open as to how he's refusing emoluments.

    I could go on and on and I'm sure lots of people could contribute things of which I'm not aware.

    Hillary might be part of the problem but she wouldn't be setting our country back this badly.

    TL;DR, Trump is a poor facade of a man and a shitty businessman and that's how he's (attempting to) running the government.

    You forgot the whole thing about shelling Syria and it being an unjust cause.

    Why don't people bring that up anymore? Does it not actually count if it lasts less than 48 hours, like Greneda?

    Yeah, in no way did I intend that to be or imply that was anywhere near an all inclusive list of his bullshit/atrocities.

    In terms of forgetting, there seems to be egregious shit coming out of the White House on a weekly, if not more frequent, basis.

    We can't trust the veracity of what he says much less the integrity of his actions. I totally can see why his parents put him in military school. It baffles and confounds me how nature and nurture combined to create him. I'd call him a sociopath but he makes no effort to hide who he is or what he does.

    Ill second this, I watched the Maddow "interview" and she came off as the same soulless opportunist parroting the same liberal narrative that lost her the election. Just because she isn't Trump, and all that goes with that hot mess, doesn't mean she isn't an unlikable lizard person.
