The Jews had a word for it - hutzpah

Well, you gotta give Repukes some credit for unabashed, shameless hypocrisy


"Donald Trump's team is still plenty steamed after a leading House Democrat described Trump as an illegitimate president - and there are now calls for President Barack Obama to act.

Trump's incoming White House chief of staff says the congressman, civil rights leader John Lewis of Georgia, is being "irresponsible" and has started a "firestorm."

Reince Priebus tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that Obama should "step up" and "call it what it is - it's wrong what is happening, it's wrong how some of these Democrats are treating President-elect Trump."


To which the President laughed and laughed and laughed---

the big issue of the day.

What is about to happen will shock us all.

Thousands of military and intel professionals will leave or be fired, our country will be taken over by Russia and it is happening right now under our noses.

Be prepared for a very quick and ugly process ahead and many will be harmed, that is how Russia does things.

Barack Obama was called "illegitimate" for 5 or 6 years. Some even said he wasn't even born in this country. One person said he sent a team to Hawaii to investigate the "birth certificate" of Barack Obama. Even with proof, he continued to insist that President Obama was born in Kenya.

Donald Trump needs to get over himself.

Some people can dish it out but they can't take it. The hypocrisy has a stench to it.

He is going to be the President - by title anyway. All the B.S. about "fair and square" is still open to debate. If it was the World Wrestling Federation, I suppose it could be called "fair and square"? By hook or crook is not the acceptable way to win anything. Lower mediocrity personified.

The classic definition is the quality exhibited by the man who kills both his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court on the grounds that he's an orphan.
