Dear America,

As you fondly look back with nostalgia on the presidency of George W. Bush and the speakership of John Boehner, please realize how incredibly fucked America now is. Also remember that these guys that you are fondly looking back at with nostalgia helped to create this problem. Fuck em’ all, every last one of 'em!

Love,

Ken in MN

Not a racist? If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck, hangs out with ducks…

“…blamed the increasing divide between the right and the left on the rise of talk radio and social media.”

The far Right segment of the media rightfully deserves some of the blame for the hysterics we face every day. But they're not exclusively responsible for Right Wing histrionics. USA Today is about as mainstream as you can get. Below is the most current headline dealing with the colluson push back on the part of Trump and Republicans:

***Readers sound off: Seems like Clinton was the one colluding***
USA TODAY Published 7:10 p.m. ET Oct. 29, 2017 | Updated 9:30 p.m. ET Oct. 29, 2017

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/10/29/readers-sound-off-seems-like-clinton-one-colluding/811243001/

The headline is followed by a group of reader letters both believing Dems colluded and those feeling the allegations of collusion on Hillary’s part are overblown and much ado about nothing. Yet USA Today wants to characterize the consensus of their readers as agreeing Hillary is the real crook, via their headline lead in to the story.

Rush Limbaugh isn’t needed by Trump to carry his water. Many mainstream publications do it quite nicely for Trump already.

I would have asked Mr Boehner if he regrets sending the Ohio Republican gerrymandering committee back to the drawing board to give Jordan a seat. The first map eliminated the possibility of Jordan returning to the House.

It is his own damn fault.

He said that Trump is not racist and Trey Gowdy is the fucking love of his life.
Yeah, go home and drink another gallon of Early Times bourbon, you cirrhosis-breathed jagoff. And no chaser for you, bitch!

Not an Ideological bone in Trump’s body??
Like fascism, Bigotry is an ideology.

I think Trump was sincere(sic).
Not that any ethical considerations would stop Trump from exploiting something he didn’t believe in to fill his pockets.
To let that happen would be so Not Donald.

“Trump isn’t racist” says Boehner, who is the kind of person who whips out a bottle of Purell every time he has to shake hands with a black guy for a publicity shot.

Who knew Boehner could talk such sense. If politicians could all be more reflective than partisan I think it would be much easier to get things done. By all means be partisan on specific legislative issues, but turning that into a ‘whoever doesn’t agree with me is inherently evil’ is divisive and unproductive.

Well…he did say Trey was a bad dresser… :sweat_smile:

Yes, the man who wouldn’t accept Obama as president, because he “wasn’t born here” isn’t a racist.
The man who calls black protesters “sons of bitches” and white supremacists “Fine people” isn’t a racist

“Fuck Jordan. Fuck Chaffetz. They’re both assholes,” Boehner told Politico.

Like Corker and Flake, John Boehner found his courage several years late, and many dollars short.

Go back and watch John Boehner’s speech during the ACA vote roll call and the fact that not one Republican voted for it. Of course, POLITICO let him slide without bringing up any of John Boehner’s major role in the ill of which he speaks.

When Boehner even begins to sound like a voice of reason and moderation you know how far through the looking glass you’ve gone.

Good grief.

All of this was true while he was Speaker.

Another republican telling it like it is…once they’re out of office.
