The first sign of trouble was his initial Supreme Court nomination being Sonia Sotomayor with the unforgettable "wise Latina" & "better" comment. The second sign of trouble was the Beer Summit where the Cambridge police acted "stupidly" although I still think Professor Gates played and parlayed the controversy into a career move.

Since then, I observed a distinct "get even" mentality among his associates, which worsened with Trayvon Martin and successive BLM cases, where President Obama just would not stand up to the violent looting and rioting reactions, but instead unwittingly favored the "space to destroy" mentality in Baltimore and elsewhere. I thought he kept quiet on divisive social justice issues during the 2012 campaign to get reelected, although it was a major tactical mistake launching his bid with Reverend Al Sharpton at his side.

I believe President Obama may not have created the racial divide chasm>

His party worked on it for decades, long before he got there.

<but I agree that things are much worse, and he certainly did not do enough to stem the tide.>

BREAKING NEWS: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a new record high for the 5th straight day. This is 31st time the Dow has closed at a record high since the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump. http://fxn.ws/2tVxaoo

#MyPresident

Despite the gridlock in Washington, the market rallies to all time highs, 31 times since #mypresident was elected. Now that the cloud of Obama is clearing, the markets feel optimistic, especially since Trump is KILLING anti-job growth regulations.

We love you Mr. President!

I'm sending Trump a Christmas card this year, and it's NOT going to say Happy Holidays! It's going to say Merry Christmas Mr. President!

Funny, the mainstream media around here feeds FROM your liberal media there (CNN CBS). For example I didn`t new this economic trend,they prefer those gossips from twitter.

By the way I agrees with <ocf> he should leave that asap. Bunch of imbeciles over there.

You will like this guy, great chances on next election

For race relations, we should distinguish between President Obama's actions and those of his entourage. (I can't say "posse" because that's racist.) Eric Holder began his stint as Attorney General calling us a "nation of cowards" for not admitting the effect of race in the criminal justice system; he was correct regarding the sentencing phase being heavily slanted against Blacks, but Holder's chip-on-his-shoulder anger was not the best approach. Reverend Jesse Jackson had just been caught in a hot mic moment complaining about Obama ("talking down to Black people" "cut his balls off") but used the first Black Presidency (not biracial, but Black) to score as many points as possible. Remember him crying at Obama's acceptance speech in Chicago; the running joke was that he was crying because he was out of a job as a professional race baiter. Reverend Al Sharpton gained more status and clout, visiting the White House many times before showing up in Baltimore, although he really should pay his taxes one of these days. Michelle Obama still says that many Americans just can't get past her "skin color" when in actuality she has very hardened views about race in the US. Even Oprah Winfrey complained about not being shown a purse at a store because of her race. In the background, our liberal mainstream media was more than ready to brand any opposition to Obama's policies as racism.

Obama's supporters were very quick to evaluate his legacy, even before leaving office, and marvel at how he transformed America. I suspected that this rush to judgment was intentional, trying to omit or ignore the deflections and distractions. As we learn more and more about the depth and breadth of government corruption from 2008 to 2016, his stock will fall more and more. Here's one potential reason why the Obamacare repeal effort failed, and notice Obama is front and center in the mix:

<Russian Reset> I never understood how liberals spun this issue. That was supposedly Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's greatest foreign policy achievement, with Romney being openly chastised during the 2012 debates for warning us about Russia, yet by 2016 Russia was the enemy again, and now in 2017 Democrats have wasted six months on the Russian Nothingburger.

What we have is a brown man telling Tucker the truth; that he and his Calexit campaigners want to see "middle class" (white people) people leave California and make room for the new wave of "immigrants", and you can bet those immigrants aren't of European origin.

You think I'm exaggerating? Go watch the video clip.

He wants to keep a few rich people, the tech people, and get rid of the "middle class" by exporting them to America (yes, he said that.)

When a surprised Tucker Carlson asked him if he was serious, laughing at him, he laughed a little too but said, "Yes!", and went on to explain that he's only admitting the truth.

This sounds like a good idea, except, why do they need immigrants? We have millions of unemployed blacks all over the US, just chillin, making babies, drinking 40s, rapping, raping, killing, mugging, knockout gaming, going to jail and (this is the worst part) they have to suffer being around all these hateful, irredeemable, deplorable, racist (even if they don't know it) white people.

They have already had black only days on campus, black only zones, black only graduations (and if you felt like you wanted to be a part of it because you love black people, but you're white, stay out! You're not welcome - yes, they said that).

Blacks have been moving toward segregation all on their own. I have the perfect solution. We make California its own country (Calexit) and send all the blacks to live there among themselves.

It's a win-win:

1. Instead of the old "send them back to Africa" routine, where they would end up in some crappy third world country, have unreasonable travel challenges and so on, sending them to California would be a dream come true for most of them! It's one of the most beautiful states in the nation, so it's not like we'd be feed the scraps to the blacks - no way, they would get prime real estate!

2. No need for immigrants as we could solve the black unemployment problem in no time. Better to take care of whomever is here already than to leave them jobless and import new people.

3. White people across America would win BIG TIME! No longer would they have to deal with their white guilt over the plight of the black man suffering in the ghetto, unemployed, high crime and so on.

4. Black people win BIG TIME! They all get to move to sunny California, enjoy the best beaches in the country, Hollywood (they like that stuff), and a very big state with ample room and resources.

5. No more gun violence (in NYC, only 2.3% of shooting arrests are of WHITES) http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/dow...

You see, once all the blacks are in California, they will all have jobs (no whites holding them down, no white system holding them down, no institutional racism holding them down) and because they all have jobs, there will be no more gun violence, rape, illegitimacy and so on.

6. The Tax Payer wins! Just look at the NYC example again (click the link too). With only 2.3% of shootings in NYC ending up with WHITE arrests, we could lay off 90% of the police force once blacks all moved to California (a beautiful state).

Also, think of all the money saved in welfare!

Think of all the money the tax payer would save by not having to pay for so many blacks in jail. Jail is expensive. So yes, the tax payer wins.

Blacks have been calling for segregation, so this seems like we would be giving them what they want. It's not like we would be sending them all to be crammed up in a little state like Rhode Island. Cali is a big state!

It's not like we'd be sending them to a big ghetto either. It's prime real estate!

Solving unemployment!
Solving crime!
Solving illegitimacy!
Solving gun violence!
Solving welfare!
Solving racism!

It's unfair that blacks have to live around white people, because white people are racist even if they don't realize it. Everyone hates whitey and no one wants to have to have white people all up in their space all the time. White people can't be saved, can't be cured, can't be taught not to be racist, evil, hateful people. It's in them. It has been for centuries and nothing is going to change, ever.

So instead of trying to change white people (never happen), let's just kick them all out of California and give the blacks that state.

Sames with the sames, differents with the differents.

In the same scenario, but with the substitution of International Law, she would be awaiting a long rope in a prison at the Hague.

I'm glad that Hillary didn't become President, because none of this would have come to pass, given that Washington would have shielded her.

Not a chance, even though there should be a landslide of consensus. Just consider your later statement:

<I'm glad that Hillary didn't become President, because none of this would have come to pass, given that Washington would have shielded her.>

Exactly. The Swamp would have every single angle covered from the shills in the justice department, the Democrats in both houses, the fake Republicans who put on a show pretending to demand answers and all of the Deep Swamp comprising layer upon layer of bureaucracy.

This is why I love Trump. He is the only person on either side (republicans or democrats) that has the guts and integrity to point at both parties and the deep state, and the intelligence community, and the media and loudly proclaim that they are all in cahoots.

The fallout from this has been full exposure of the Swamp. Trump is fully aware of the globalist agenda as well and speaks about it plainly, boldly and truthfully.

And the brainwashed, programmed sheeple like <hmm> and the <tuna> stand with the Swamp.

<Bill will create a merit-based immigration system that protects our workers, our taxpayers, and our economy>

Incredible! Trump is winning for us, the America people. Merit-based is the opposite of race based and politically correct based.

<A SURGE IN UNSKILLED IMMIGRATION: For decades, low-skilled and unskilled immigration into the United States has surged, depressing wages and harming America’s most vulnerable citizens.

Our system does not prioritize the most highly skilled immigrants—just 1 out of every 15 immigrants to the United States comes here because of their skills. On average, 1 million immigrants are accepted into the United States for legal permanent residency annually, and most of them are low or unskilled workers. This influx is the equivalent of adding more than the population of San Francisco to the country every year. More than 50 percent of all immigrant households receive welfare benefits, compared to only 30 percent of native households in the United States that receive welfare benefits. Immigrants with a college education or higher are, on average, less likely to be welfare recipients than those without the same degree of education. Since 1979, Americans with a high school diploma or less have seen their real hourly wages decline. American workers without a high school diploma have seen their real hourly wages fall by 17 percent.

THE RAISE ACT PUTS AMERICAN WORKERS FIRST: President Donald J. Trump supports the Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy (RAISE) Act to prioritize immigrants based on the skills they bring to our Nation while safeguarding the jobs of American workers.

The RAISE Act replaces the current permanent employment-visa framework with a skills-based system that rewards applicants based on their individual merits. The system rewards education, English-language ability, high-paying job offers, past achievements, and entrepreneurial initiative. This system is similar to the merit-based immigration systems used by Canada and Australia. The RAISE Act reduces overall immigration numbers to limit low-skilled and unskilled labor entering the United States. The RAISE Act prioritizes immediate family members of United States residents, including spouses and minor children, but ends preferences for extended family members and adult children. United States citizens needing to take care of elderly parents can receive renewable, temporary visas for them. The RAISE Act eliminates the outdated Diversity Visa lottery system, which serves questionable economic and humanitarian interests. The RAISE Act limits permanent resident status for refugees to 50,000 a year, in line with the 13-year average.

A PROMISE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: The RAISE Act follows through on President Trump’s promise to the reform our immigration system to put America first.

Trump is looking to end extended family preference as well.

#MyPresident is doing a better job than I could ever have imagined. This all about making America great again. We just can't let anybody into the country! We can't just let the world dump its undesirables here in the USA. We can't keep accepting people with no skills and their extended no skills families.

I didn't want to read the rest of the comment before looking at the picture. So I went to the image and looked, read the caption, and thought, what point is <td> trying to make? I said to myself, oh well, I'll have to go back and read his comment in full, but boy oh boy, does this lady look like Debbie Wasserman Shultz.

You aren't going to get away with lying about that. I asked you three questions, to cut through all the smoke and dust you were trying to kick up, and you refused to answer them and RAN AWAY from the debate after that.

You also admitted that you never refuted either premise of the moral argument.

For the record, <spouge> admitted that he never refuted either premise of the argument.

<January 20, 2017> In her first official act since Inauguration, President Hillary Clinton bombs Libya into oblivion so nobody learns how Benghazi was an arms depot to smuggle weapons into Syria. Several explosions rock the State Department destroying thousands of e-mails, documents, and FOIA requests, yet no terrorist group takes credit. In response, President Hillary Clinton institutes a No-Fly Zone over Syria, knowing it will cause immediate military conflict and strengthen her position as a tough leader, then she will posture over Crimea publicly but do nothing privately since Russia owns all 33,000 deleted e-mails as blackmail. To support the first Woman President, Senate spouses will go full Lysistrata and their men won't get any until they support all of President Hillary Clinton's initiatives. The four conservative Supreme Court Justices commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back of their heads twice, then replacements are quickly confirmed. Chief Justice Michelle Obama legalizes cyberstalking, as otherwise nobody would ever talk to gay British men. Wisconsin is renamed BLM; Governor Lesley McSpadden invites all BLM activists to move there and take White people's money and take White people's homes because of slavery 150 years ago, then Michael Brown's step-dad will stand on top of a car shouting, "Burn This Bitch Down!" which is just fine as he has a right to be angry over slavery 150 years ago. Arizona is renamed Trayvona; Governor Jim Bartle uses false narratives to punish straight men and White Hispanics while refusing to be nice to <diceman> and slyly going behind everybody's backs to have posts removed because he just doesn't want to hear it. California Governor Colin Kaepernick grants amnesty to 30 million illegal Democrats and holds a Pig Roast executing all of the state's police force, whereupon crime will drop to zero because it was all the police's fault for failing to prevent crime in the first place. CMS Chief Jonathon Gruber will falsely claim that Obamacare is working, then feckless liberals will exclaim, "Hey look, Obamacare is working!" NIH Director John Spouge will ensure that ivory tower researchers receive a government issue tanning bed, plus a government issue tanning bed for everyone in their family, while promoting Single Payer health care even though just now it could not get passed in California, Colorado and Vermont (!) as too costly, besides we can see the VA results for ourselves. Press Secretary Martha Raddatz holds hourly press conferences for CNN and MSNBC, but only if they report favorable propaganda every time. Secretary of State Sally Boynton Brown tells White people to sit down and shut up, as telling White people to sit down and shut up is a key component of the Democratic platform. The cast of "Hamilton" performs at the Inauguration, but only for non-White people because they only want non-White people; they considered a benefit performance in Chicago for the disabled teenager tortured by four Black youths until they learned the victim was White. NCAA President Sabrina Erdely arrests all college men for rape, either with their ex-girlfriends a year ago or for the rape they are bound to commit in school, so they may live out their lives as accused rapists. Donald Trump is thrown in jail for using the term "Crooked Hillary" during the campaign, even though she lied many times and committed many crimes, wait, you didn't just read that because Hillary Clinton is blameless and never lied about anything ever since dodging sniper fire in Bosnia. All Americans who voted for Trump become Felons so they may never vote again, which is fair because Trump voters are all racist redneck low IQ deplorables late for the Klan meeting anyway. FIDE President Garry Kasparov declares that World Champion Magnus Carlsen is a top model, and he likes to go modeling, while demanding that the US sends more Toblerone chocolate to Scandinavia and Palestine. With police out of the picture, Carlsen Fanboys smother Americans, behead infidels and slaughter aborigines at will.

She did that as Secretary of State - Libyan terrorists with American weapons flocked to Syria as part of the neoliberal goal of toppling Assad.

Liberal speak dominates the culture. So when truth is spoken (Mexico is not sending their best...) it jars the sensitive ears of liberals worldwide.

We got Trump because the pendulum swings one way and then the other way. People got sick to death of the PC culture and Trump is the exact opposite of PC. He is a PC hammer, smashing political correctness at every turn. It's the politically correct words and phrases that dictate the political narrative, which gives the liberals a permanent upper hand in everything they want to do.

That's why they invent new terms all the time, because when they do, they get to define and dictate the narrative and control it too. This narrative seeps its way into everything and firmly entrenches liberalism across the political and cultural landscape. The more the PC words and phrases are used by the masses, the more it reinforces political correctness and liberal culture.

Political correctness is the glue that holds liberalism together. It's where it derives its strength and makes all the lunacy possible. It is their secret weapon. This is why, in my view, Trump was the best candidate and a great president for our specific time right now. He is single handedly shaking the foundations of all political correctness in the country and even around the world.

Every tweet is a non stop assault on political correctness. It needs to be attacked continually. The greatest thing Trump can do, is defeat political correctness, and he is doing this by being very politically incorrect at all times. This emboldens the cowards to follow suit.

Trump is affecting both policy changes and cultural shock. The cultural shock is a massive *pattern interrupt* and it's this aspect of his presidency that is going to change America more than even the great policy changes he is enacting.

Right now he is backing the new anti-affirmative action act, and the RAISE act, which pretty much reverses the immigration act of 1965. Both of these measures are common sense, but the PC narrative will cast them as extreme and ask America how we could have an extremist like Trump in the big chair.

This is another example where the mainstream media did us a giant disservice by continually supporting these "peaceful protesters" over the police, while reinforcing that their cause was just and their grievance was valid.

I would like to see a stated change in our official policy about Right to Peaceful Assembly. Anything 8 am to 8 pm is lawful, just fine, please don't break anything. Anything 8 pm to 8 am is unlawful, go to jail, go directly to jail. Too many times, activists use the cover of night for violence: Ferguson, Baltimore, Charlotte, Portland. I was also concerned that events blocking traffic would lead to injuries, while potentially delaying EMS, first responders and ambulances, causing secondary damage.

As for that, just now I read Moby whining on fcbk with 2 posts in a row one of them mocking Trump golf "abilities" comparing to Obama. Lame. I disliked the page immediately , he is a real talent but the level of political discussion he proposes...Damn,

We already have laws about burning businesses to the ground/destroying private property, the left operates in lawless mode. Be it throwing a Molotov cocktail through a window, "leaks" or an FBI investigation becoming a "matter."
