(51,448 posts)Only fools believed that, just like only fools believed they were the "family values" party or that they believed in the sanctity of life.
Unfortunately far too many people in positions of power in government and the media DID believe this bullshit, even while many of us were screaming that it quite clearly was a crock of shit from the get go.
very good point. More hypocrisy.

Because we know right now that the answer is going to be "No". So we better be prepared to do something about this because there isa 99.999% probability that he is just going to thumb his noses at Dems and everything and anything that they try to do.

bummer that living through it is such a nightmare, but that's the price we pay for experiencing such interesting times.
