[LoneLaugher]

Nobody illustrates the barren landscape of Republican ideas better than the party’s leader

Notice the pattern here.

I open a thread with the actual words of the president telling us what this election is about. I don’t make any words up. I simply state a known fact that the president intends to campaign on fear during the midterms.

It doesn’t matter that crime is at all time lows or that Kavanaugh got confirmed or that immigration is at a net negative. All that matters is that you fuckers are frightened into voting. He told you that himself.

Then, you jackasses post lists of what YOU BELIEVE the Dems want and the great accomplishments of the Trump admin.

You don’t like his own words. Why?

Lib please, Trump has also said the election is about jobs, the economy, trade, foreign policy, and securing our borders. Why did you intentionally leave those out, I think we all know why.

Nobody illustrates the barren landscape of Republican ideas better than the party’s leader

Trump said Thursday at a rally in Missoula that the midterms will be the "election of Kavanaugh, the caravan, law and order and common sense."

How about that? Your leader doesn’t hide his agenda. Frighten morons into voting for Republicans. Period.

No vision. No way forward. Just fear.

How to Stop Lying

The Mid Term elections are clear.

If the Democrats win the House of Representatives, we are looking at 2 years of pointless investigations and impeachments. No legislation will be able to get through.


If the Democrats win the Senate, it means no more appointments to the courts, cabinet or other positions requiring confirmation. If Sessions leaves, the AG position is vacant and that's that. If the Liberals lynch Clarence Thomas, the seat stays vacant.

The people have a clear choice, if they think there is a enough legislation, and we don't need any more presidential appointments, they should vote "D".
