To be clear, Steve, you’re saying that just because Prez. Hatespeech was a private citizen in 2011, his birther defamation doesn’t count against Party-o-Lincoln?

Cuz if that’s your argument, you still have to explain Boehner saying “none of my business” about the GOP birther racists.

Well, I guess maybe they respected the office. It’s oval, which is unusual, and a fine piece of architecture.

I don’t care that Scalise says stupid, self-serving bullshit.

What bakes my buns is our miserable news media won’t call him out on it.

Was it not disrespect when Senate GOP refused to give Merrick Garland a hearing? Disrespecting Obama, those who elected him, and an important, longstanding norm in the Senate?

Republicans take care of racists and big business.

They want more Trump in 2020.

The GOP has gotten so gassy now, no one dares to light a smoke in their presence. Of course, that could just be their lunch talking. Hard to tell.

Oh yeah - the position of POTUS is something they wouldn’t denigrate. It was just the ni**er in that position that was totally unacceptable.

Except for that time the ass screeched “you lie” during a SOTU. And the time McConnell swore on the shells of all his turtle ancestors that he would do nothing but block everything Obama would ever try to do. And there are a few thousand more times. But other than that…

“Barack Obama, he just sits out. He sits back; he criticizes everybody. He’s got his professorial attitude, real condescending, as if he’s got all the answers.”

“Barack Obama destroyed the middle class.”
Steve Scalise also bragged that he is “David Duke without all the baggage.”
