    Or some people make absurd and self humiliating comparisons to Hitler and Nazi's ... that actually reveals more about themselves, than those they try and smear. But a fundamental lack of understanding is essential to that brand of stupid.

    Liberals knowledge of history is lacking

    Probably due to our crummy liberal public education system

    If so we have to wonder why liberals want to bankrupt the nation

    Breath or a heartbeat? What? =) You're not OK with taking care of people, many who are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, but instead choose to be morons? Everyone is your helpless child.

    We learned nothing. As usual.
    Here is what is going to happen for 2019 and 2020 - Not a Godd*mn thing.
    The Democrats will posture, and vote no on everything...and Trump will veto whatever they push through.
    And now - the 2 year campaign begins and we will get nothing done by a paralyzed government.

    Congratulations.

    I have my own children to take care of, that's why I work to provide for them. That's why I had a job and education BEFORE I chose to have kids.

    There could be a showdown over the budget

    That is one area where gridlock is not acceptable

    Why presume liberal ... or even American? The US has lots of enemies ... some foreign, somed domestic, some foreign but domesticated through naturalization. B.A.M.N. ... bankruptcy is much easier than military force. Self inflicted economic collapse is optimal. Beware the compassionate atheist my friend. :;):

    I do not know what funny pills Donald Trump takes every day to be able to write this and believe it for yourself ... but I also want the pills!

    upload_2018-11-7_14-25-55.png

    Sure, the Democrats have calculated 2 months ago, far more than what they have achieved now, but if you look closely at this:

    Before the midterms, Republicans in the Senate and the House of Representatives had the majority ...
    After the midterms, they just defended the majority in the Senate and lost in the House of Representatives majority.

    And that is for Trump a tremendous success??? Ehm ... OK, as told, I want to have these strange funny pills he takes too!

    We learned obama has lost his mojo. Every candidate obama campaigned for lost. Most that Trump campaigned for won....

    It’s not about the economy only because the economy is not a problem.

    And the economy is not a problem because of Trump.

    Someone hasn't been paying attention to the economy for the past several years. Trump hasn't significantly broken any pre-existing trends.

    We learned that socialism is still not favored by most Americans, although it is slowly gaining acceptance.

    This will eventually kill American exceptionalism. We will be Greece x 100. No more “preeminent nation” on earth. No longer “the world’s only superpower”. We’ll just be a face in the crowd.

    Sad.

    That's because you're responsible, plan and think about the future. Most who end up on welfare or need social services their entire lives don't think more than 1 week ahead, if that.

    Og my G*d... where do I begin? How about here - these Republican candidates that Trump campaigned for, have won. These that Trump did not campaigned for, lost (at least, most of them). The incumbent Republicans who jumped Trump ship too early and decided not to run (35 of them) is what have caused Republicans to lose the house.

    Easy, really.

    I am glad to see the wealthy liberal donors losing so much cash on candidates like Beat Off O'Rourke.
