...no Republicans ever questioned Barack Obama's legitimacy says right wing simpleton...

Idiot Sharpiro actually said…



Ben Shapiro, apparently forgetting that Donald Trump is the Republican President of the United States, says "I'm not aware of a single major Republican figure who said the Barack Obama was not the legitimate President of the United States"


….just because he is surrounded by right wing morons does he think that we are also so moronic as to forget the absolute racist vile nasty shit the republicans slung at President Obama for 8 years? So, apart from the fact that President Obama was a President that was for all the people that and was so very worthy of a respect they did not give, and Trump is a Fuckface von Clownstick, who cannot spell legitimate never mind understand the connection between adhering to and upholding the values and principles of the USA, and actually garnering our respect…Trump is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic, illiberal, nasty, untrained and unrestrained piece of shit that is not worthy of anyone’s time. Trump, based on the election is ‘legitimate’ but nothing about him is legitimate… and if they think we should ignore their obstruction of President Obama (who was legitimate in both senses of the word) just cause… then they are outrageous in their duplicity…

Let us never forget…

They cannot be allowed to rewrite history..

and at least once failed to accept an invitation to the WH.

And of course there was all that bitching about how much golf President Obama played. Thank god they got over that by the time Trump took over the office.

Name anything tRump has done to earn respect from us? He kow tows to Russia and China, the US comes LAST. What is "in it" for these dishonest people who try to puff up tRump, when they have to know he is a big, bloated, fast food guzzling EMPTY SHELL of a human being? Other countries asked us if they could have President Obama after his terms were over. The only country wanting tRump will be the one with the court to try him for crimes against humanity. He is a disgusting excuse for a human being, let alone a "leader".

are just trying to rewrite history.

Makes their chances in 2020 improve if they can redact their behaviour from the past. Just cross out their naughty historic acts, please play along.

Expect more of it. Just say 'YOU LIE!' when you hear it.

GOP senators send letter to Iran in attempt to undermine nuclear deal; Biden calls it ‘false’ and ‘dangerous’
PBS / Politics / Mar 9, 2015
WASHINGTON — Republican lawmakers warned the leaders of Iran on Monday that any nuclear deal they cut with President Barack Obama could expire the day he leaves office. The White House denounced the GOP’s latest effort to undercut the international negotiations as a “rush to war.” Vice President Biden, president of the Senate, responded to the open letter with a statement declaring it “beneath the dignity of an institution I revere.”

Monday’s open letter from 47 GOP senators marked an unusually public and aggressive attempt to undermine Obama and five world powers as negotiators try to strike an initial deal by the end of March to limit Iran’s nuclear programs.

Republicans say a deal would be insufficient and unenforceable, and they have made a series of proposals to undercut or blocks it — from requiring Senate say-so on any agreement to ordering new penalty sanctions against Iran or even making a pre-emptive declaration of war.

Obama, noting that some in Iran also want no part of any deal, said: “I think it’s somewhat ironic that some members of Congress want to make common cause with the hardliners in Iran. It’s an unusual coalition.”

The letter was written by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who opposes negotiations with Iran. It’s addressed to the “Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran” and presents itself as a constitutional primer to the government of an American adversary. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky’s signature is on it, as are those of several prospective presidential candidates.

I'm not surprised you were allegedly oblivious to that, since your world doesn't extend beyond where your head is located--which is up your pasty, white ass.
