He is suffering from Trump.....he spun himself into confusion, lmao!Downsize, dwindle...whatever. You can't even spell morale so I can't really continue with you.
In other news - anyone see Giuliani forget about 9/11? That man has lost his marbles.

a large portion of the government you like so much is made up by republicans that you do not.
government is a 2-headed monster, and they are both trying to eat us.
so, military and infrastructure? something that actually would be the governments responsibility. perhaps that's where they need to keep their interests, and not in private business. though, the amount of money that was spent on those things, im not sure they could be deemed a success. plus all the other areas they have failed. I would say in general, the American government is terrible at "governing". but they are great at spending!
The fix was in for Clinton before Trump was even running.
I've been saying Hillary would be the next POTUS since the day after Obummer got elected the second time. How he got a second term is just insane to me, but I guess it just shows where we are at in this country.
Obama is the first president to achieve the 51 percent mark in two elections since Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, who did it in 1952 and 1956, and the first Democrat to do so since Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won four consecutive White House races. Roosevelt received 53.4 percent of the vote -- his lowest -- in his last race in 1944.
A really good salient post that sums up alot of what has happened and why America is where it is now. Thank you.You were trying to make the point that the government has never done anything right, and you're just wrong about it.
The government has done a pretty good job over the years of keeping the country safe, when you consider the threats we've faced. There have absolutely been mistakes, but this whole notion that we should scrap it and resort to anarchy is just a load of crap.
What's happening right now is a power shift, and it's messy. As the country becomes more diversified, the white Christian right is losing their grip on the government, and they're going out like a kicking, screaming toddler being dragged from a birthday party.
The last seven years the Republican party has been the party of obstructionism. They refuse to govern. They refuse to set a budget. They've shut the government down once and threatened to do it again because they can't get their way. They've done absolutely nothing but bash the president, and put up unprecedented road blocks to prevent him from being able to govern. But that comes with a cost, because when you try to make the government ineffective, you hurt LOTS of people, even ones who would otherwise support you.
The whole birther movement was an absolute circus, and Republican leadership should have condemned it from the start. It was against Obama though, so they fanned the flames. Then when it almost died out, Trump decided to become the ringmaster of that circus (and ended up looking like a fool for it). The problem is, now it's not Obama that's jumping through hoops, it's the Republicans that sat back and enjoyed the show back in 2011.
What goes around comes around, and when you're the "do nothing party" eventually it's going to bite you.
The good thing is, eventually that kicking screaming toddler DOES get dragged out the door, and everyone else is better off for it. Without a massive restructuring, the Republican party has won their last Presidential election. This one's already lost, and the next one will be too if they don't stop catering to the ignorant.
If you say you can't stand Hillary, but voted for Trump in a primary, you're a fool. He's the ONE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE that had absolutely no shot at beating her.
Next thing we know you'll say what difference does it make.

Oh yea on your whole birther moment. Yes the republicans should have condemned it from the beginning. Yes they should have condemned Hillary Clinton for starting the "birther" movement. She was the original birther.

you completely missed the point. but im not surprised. the governments job IS to protect this country, I would hope they were able to do it.You were trying to make the point that the government has never done anything right, and you're just wrong about it.

the issue is all the other bullshit they are trying to do that is NOT their job.
they shut the government down, and it should have stayed shut down. they do not have the money to operate. them shutting it down was a GOOD thing.
but, the republicans are all to blame. with an attitude like that, no wonder we are paddling up this shit creek right now.
you cannot spend yourself out of debt, but damnit, the democrats sure try!
Really are you still trying to pick a fight? Grow the F up.
It come from when Hillary was being questioned regarding Benghazi and the deaths of 4 Americans. Why she lied multiple times regarding the cause of the start of the attack. Was this because of some guys out for a walk or was it because of a protest about a movie.
Is that close enough for you.

:smashputer:Johnson: But, Madame Secretary, do you disagree with me that a simple phone call to those evacuees to determine what happened wouldn’t have ascertained immediately that there was no protest? That was a piece of information that could have been easily, easily obtained?
Clinton: But, Senator, again—
Johnson: Within hours, if not days?
Clinton: Senator, you know, when you’re in these positions, the last thing you want to do is interfere with any other process going on, number one—
Johnson: I realize that’s a good excuse.
Clinton: Well, no, it’s the fact. Number two, I would recommend highly you read both what the ARB said about it and the classified ARB because, even today, there are questions being raised. Now, we have no doubt they were terrorists, they were militants, they attacked us, they killed our people. But what was going on and why they were doing what they were doing is still unknown --
Johnson: No, again, we were misled that there were supposedly protests and that something sprang out of that -- an assault sprang out of that -- and that was easily ascertained that that was not the fact, and the American people could have known that within days and they didn’t know that.
Clinton: With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. Now, honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information. The IC has a process, I understand, going with the other committees to explain how these talking points came out. But you know, to be clear, it is, from my perspective, less important today looking backwards as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice, and then maybe we’ll figure out what was going on in the meantime.
^man I was just down in Singer Island, my fam has a house on Claremont. Could have grabbed a beer - next time!
