Remember when Obama...

[rabkauhallA]

At this this stage, I don't know whether it's even fair to blame Trump for this stuff. Any semi-competent White House staffer should have already hired a full-time employee whose only job it is to violently smack Trump's phone out of his hand the moment he opens his Twitter app.

That was funny. But I just have this maniacal notion that the President of the United States should be the most serious person in the room. I won't let myself get accustomed to a toddler leading our nation. I'm no Hillary fan, but she wouldnt shame us 140 characters at a time whenever something unnnfaaair was said on the news. No, she would have been assuring the world that Trump was a flash in the pan and we dodged an orange bullet. She knows about every single leader in the world and she's a known quantity to friends and foes alike.

While some might gripe that she's too hawkish and loves regime change, but I bet we wouldn't be freakin' about North Korean nukes annihilating South Korea and japan.

Boring presidents are what we need. No tantrum toddlers. No people with orangitis. No tough guy who looks at people as expendable pawns to claim he has the bigger weiner than Kim Jong Un. Those people belong in pubs talking tough knowing it will amount to nothing. Not actually the President. Wtf, people?! You did this to Earth!

And I'll bet Mrs Trump doesn't take over the country's school lunches.
Where in the Constitution is that power?

Melania ain't doin' sheet. She'll find the goldiest room and just sit there, thinking " Let them eat cake."

I'm starting to think that Trump is really a 10 year old wearing an old man suit.

And no one in the Obama administration was indicted for anything over eight years, but around 50 were indicted in "W" Bush's administration, and who knows how many may be indicted under Trump's reign of terror.

I can remember when Obama harassed journalists and their families because they were considering reporting about embarrassing leaks from his administration.

Then of course, there is there mysterious death of Michael Hastings. Say what you will about President Trump, I don't think anyone's alleged he would kill someone...

There are the strawmen!

 

[metis]

There are the strawmen!

I prefer calling them "false equivalences", which is exactly what they are. Having our children eat healthy foodstuff instead of ready-made garbage ain't quite the same potential problem as a possible "obstruction of justice" is.

Trump is the best president you've ever had, second only to Ronald Reagan.

I can live with that.
It's well within the Constitution.

In a thread specifically dedicated to comparing Obama & Trump,
it is perfectly reasonable to bring up Obama's failings, the OP's
intent being to jab at Trump notwithstanding.
"False equivalency" is not about comparison or tit for tat skewering.
Does no liberal understand this at all?

I have had my one page of frubals and serious talks. Wanna degrade this thread to memes and simpsons/american dad gifs?

I'm happy to remember Obama....just as your thread invited us to do.
But teaching moments will arise at times.
And there are more remembrances to come!

The answer to the OP is no, btw.

Too simple.
Comparisons must be explored.
Think you can have a pro-Obama thread without dissent?
Pish posh!

Then make your own thread! Simple is still too complex for some.

Excuse me, it isn't. Obama's DOJ had reporters and their families threatened. For doing their jobs.

Please explain why it's okay when Obama attempts to shred the Constitution, but when Trump does it, it's time to freak out?

Remember how it is illegal to threaten a witness.

Give him a break, he is just trying to come to terms with the fact that he actually voted for Nixo..err...Trump.

Fair enough!

 

[Kemosloby]

Dude, it's not even people leaking this crap. It's Trump tweeting it, himself, to the world.

Why not. Maybe Trump's bluffing or maybe not. Perhaps Trump suspects Comey will lie to the press and is warning him there may be evidence to call out Comey as a liar. There's just not enough there to get the whole picture. I think Trump is AOK and is definitely for America. I see nothing wrong with his comment.

Or maybe Trump is just a giant moron.
