So nothing eh? An uncomfortable topic for sure. 

Will be interesting to see looking back on this period. Shameful.

If you are referring to the Bannon thing you posted, do you still fall for “pull my finger” as well?

Yeah. After Musks salute - the Bannon salute and a Presidential hopeful of mexico's salute. 

They're doing this at your parties political action conference.

But yeah, pull my finger. Wonder what those who fought in WW2 would think eh?

Since my Dad earned 4 Purple Hearts in WWII, froze his feet during the Battle of the Bulge that effected him the rest of his life, ruined his hearing, saw 6 of 10 of his small town friends not come home, shot people in the face at arms length before they did the same to him, and had a brother carried out with Murrells Marauders, I know what he would think — there is real evil in this world and it needed confronted (he gave up a full boat scholarship to Rice Medical school to go to war for what he thought was right, never was able to get back to school, ended up getting laid off 3 times, each under a democratic administration, all of which he voted for by the way, because that is what union members did, and died a hollow shell of what he thought a man should be for his generation) and there is faux outrage at mindless crap, often made up, staged, or deliberately interpreted by those who are far less than he was, went through far less than he did, and seek far more attention over nothing.

So yeah, getting one’s knickers in a knot over something like this, when living the privileged life that his sacrifice, his brother’s sacrifices, his town’s sacrifices is a kin to getting fooled again by “pull my finger” and thinking it is of some great importance.

Let me clarify. The day Clinton signed NAFTA the company I worked for shipped jobs to Juarez, Mexico.

Negotiations for NAFTA began under Reagan. He ran on it as part of his platform in 1979. George HW Bush signed the initial draft of the agreement in December 1992, before Clinton even took office.

It was then ratified by 132 republicans and 100 democrats in the House and it passed the senate with 34 republicans and 27 democrats voting in favor.

The Congressman who fought the hardest FOR its passage was a Republican (David Dreier) and the guy who fought hardest AGAINST it was a Democrat (Luis guiterrrz).

Did Clinton support it? Yes, he did. But it had substantial bipartisan support in Congress as well, and in fact, despite Democrat control of both chambers of Congress at that time, MORE REPUBLICANS voted to ratify the agreement than democrats.

So you can blame “a democrat administration” and sure that’s kinda sorta correct if you don’t look any further than the fact that Clinton signed the final version. But the wheels were set in motion long before he took office, and republicans pushed HARD for its passage.

And that’s not even taking account of the fact that your greedy employer is the party that DIRECTLY sold you out. Because that’s how capitalism works.

But yet it’s all the democrats fault huh? I don’t think so. Truth is a little more complicated.

I’d be happy to go over your other examples as well but I’m pretty sure nobody can ever convince you that democrats aren’t the root of all evil in this world, or convince you that Trump isn’t screwing us 1000x harder than democrats ever did, so I’m not sure it’s worth any more of my time.
