    Rand Paul and Mike Lee came across as Pelosi and Schumer.

    I thought Trump was hated for committing the ultimate sin. He beat Hilary.

    Some Trump supporters believe vacuous babbling is a suitable substitute for a substantive reply. Get back to me when you have a rebuttal to any of the specific points made in the OP.

    They came across as elected representatives with legitimate concerns. I'm not surprised you can't recognize what people like that look like.

    Translated: Trump has the backbone Obama never had.

    Yeah, that's what started it. Before that he was a loved Tv personality and respected billionaire businessman.

    Yeah! If it wasn't for Trump, Iran would have been a great country advancing the world around progress.

    But Trump screwed that all up. Now, they are no longer this beacon of progressive ideals, and have turned into a terrorist nation.

    What a big huge pile of absolute dog you know what.

    Nobody. And I mean nobody acted like you do during Obama.

    This forum is all archived. Give me the name of anybody that acts like you. You won't be able to.

    I think people need to be more liberal with their ignore button in an effort to put the insane asylum at bay. I will start.

    You may have a point. I wasn't on the board then but I doubt any of the rabid Obama haters..........some of whom are still around..........were able to factually refute lies told by Obama or gave examples of Obama's corruption or his attacks on our founding institutions or him praising dictators or pointing out how he obstructed justice or made endless, boorish tweets, or was able to show examples of Obama cheating on his wife, lying about it, defrauding the American public by paying hush money to the women, etc..................................................

    Yes... I think you could say his amnesty was "rescinded".
    Or perhaps vaporized is the closer word.

    I thought he was crap long before he ever ran for president. That is one of the things that I just can't figure out about conservarives. Why you all tend to support such despicable characters. And dumb ones too.

    And not just Trump. A great deal of Congressional Republicans are just as bad. The talk show hosts are often even loonier.

    No he wasn't. He played a role on a bad reality television show. He was a horrible businessman. His father had to repeatedly bail him out, eventually giving Donald Trump $400,000,000. Trump bankrupted two casinos. Some of his businesses have turned out to be scams, like Trump University.

    When I first came here, there was a large number of hardcore alt-right posters of the Alpha/Beta male mindset, all wrapped up in the red pill/ blue pill mythology from the Matrix movies. Central to their ideology was their belief that conservatives were superior to liberals in every way, yet they clearly weren't. They depicted liberals in such unrealistic terms as to make them seem a bit off. In many threads it would be one or two liberal leaning individuals against maybe twenty conservatives, a portion who seemed to have no other purpose than to disparage liberals/Democrats/feminists/progressives.

    Some of the conservatives complained about liberal views, as if liberal views didn't belong in political discussion. They just didn't want to hear it. Contrary views bothered them. Then one day they started telling each other of another forum, where there were no pesky liberals. A whole group vanished in a matter of weeks.

    There is a more balanced mix now.

    That's a great example of a factually inaccurate false conclusion based on a distortion of anything close to reality. IOW, it's exactly how the mind of a Trumpette works while under the influence of the lies and misrepresentations of right wing media..........and their Dear Leader.

    And we have something better now?

    We do not. Was the agreement perfect? No but it was WORKING and Iran was NOT making nukes.

    What deal has replaced it?

    Being hated is not an impeachable offense.

    Don't listen to the talk show hosts. I don;t.

    Oh please tell me how the IAEA has any idea what Iran is doing? Iran will not allow on site on demand inspections, so the reality s that the IAEA only knows what Iran tells them.
