  • Obama has had his day. Dems need new blood. Nobody on their side looks good. Just a bunch of losers with the same old left-wing ideas that have been tried and failed time and time again

  • This is an opinion piece posing as news.

  • BTW, progressives are idiotic.

Thus the myth of Trump's "landslide" is propagated along with your enduring difficulties with simple arithmetic.

I never said either he won by a lanslide or it was a huge win. I said he got the majority of votes. He won the Electoral College, Rebublicans have the majority in the House and the Senate and he won the popular vote. Deny all you like but this is reality . Get over it. The Dems ran on a 'progressive' woke left ticket with a cackling idiot as their candidate. The people voted and rejected this and voted Trump in.

Every president have killed civilians, no exemption, and who are responsible for the intelligence on the ground? The President?

 

At least he admitted his mistake,

That's why the USA is a Constitutional Republic, and there's an Electoral College.

 

That's also why the Dem flooded the sanctuary states with illegal aliens, and allow them to vote.   Carry a few populous Dem states, and you're halfway to a majority of Electoral College votes.

Obama’s renewed activism hasn’t been without controversy. During last year’s campaign, he faced backlash for comments suggesting young Black men were reluctant to support a woman candidate. The fallout forced his team to recalibrate his message, underscoring the fine line he must walk in a fractured political landscape.

Recent declassified claims from DNI Gabbard and AG Bondi alleging a treasonous conspiracy and years long coup in the Obama administration to undermine Trump’s 2016 win,

is turning to him really the reset Dems need as they struggle to find a future in the Dem's fractured political  landscape? 

 

Ai Overview:

Yes, Barack Obama has been accused by Donald Trump and his current administration officials, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Attorney General Pam Bondi, of a "treasonous conspiracy" and "years-long coup" to undermine Trump's 2016 election victory

Your statement about the electoral college is correct; your statement about noncitizen voting is not. There are only a small handful of cases of noncitizens voting/attempting to vote. Don’t fall for racist conspiracy theories.

Link to what? Obama's personal basketball court in the Whitehouse basement that cost the tax payer $376M? Look it up.

 

“Obama’s personal basketball court in the Whitehouse (sic)”.

You do know that Obama doesn’t reside there anymore and that the present incumbent is sweating on the court for 6 hours daily. This is why he (Donny) is so slim and fit and is so mentally sharp. Look it up.

No, I'm correct.  Need to do a bit more research, as I have, and I'm 100% sure I am correct.

 

I did a long post on AN somewhere, with all info needed to understand, and nope, can't be bother.

Yes, you probably should have looked it up, but instead you rammed your face into a pile of eggs...again!🤣

 

This question was asked of an AI (Grok):

" Obama's personal basketball court in the Whitehouse basement cost the tax payer $376M"
This statement is incorrect as the previous administration approved the money for renovation of the WH, and the baseball court was previously a tennis court.
Give a condensed timeline of events regarding this and the main persons/institutions involved
."

 

Part of the answer:
"

  • 2008: The Bush administration, led by President George W. Bush, commissioned a report highlighting aging infrastructure issues in the White House, including failing systems, and Congress, under the oversight of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), approved a $376 million budget for a four-year renovation project to address these concerns, initiated before Obama’s presidency.
  • 2009: President Barack Obama took office. As part of the approved renovation, the existing White House tennis court—previously used for various events—was converted into a full-scale basketball court. The project utilized funds already allocated, not new taxpayer money specifically for the court.
  • 2010: Media outlets like CNN and Bloomberg News reported on the ongoing $376 million renovation, clarifying that funding was secured in 2008, and the basketball court became a notable feature, hosting college championship teams and Wounded Warriors, as noted in Obama’s White House records."

wait you just said noncitizens dont vote, but in the same sentence you said only a small handful.  So what is it? some or none?

 

This is what you dont get, if there is voter ID non-citizens cant vote. 

However, for some reason the democrats dont want voter ID..why??

Straw man GARBAGE. 

It's impossible to have any kind of rational discussion with people of the maga cult. Waste of time.

The opposition to maga fascism needs to concentrate on the majority of Americans who are not in the cult. Independents, old style republcans, non-voters, lapsed democrats, etc.


“It’s impossible to have any kind of rational discussion with people of the maga cult “

 

Oh really?  Watch these irrational leftists.

Research, that's what intelligent people do.  Instead of be lead around by the nose ring by MSM programming your thoughts.

Unhook your nose ring .... do your own research ...

 

Just check CA's requirements for getting an state ID and all that's required to vote.  Can't get any more lax than that.

 

With any luck, you can get a CDL, and drive across country and kill people with your illegal driving skills.

(1) You have no understanding of what “transgender” means, and apparently no willingness to learn; accounts of transgender people date back to ancient Egypt.

 

(2) You are a poster boy for MAGA; by getting you to focus so intently on people’s genitalia (you’ve mentioned the topic in at least three posts in this thread), Republican propaganda has diverted your attention (and unfortunately that of millions of others) away from the continuing transfer of wealth to the uppermost classes. Which is all the current Republican leadership cares about.

I think you forgot what party cant or wont answer a simple question...what is a woman?
