Due to his utter disappointment in the GOP nominee, and Obama's strong necon response to all things middle east and moderate Republican economic policies, rappy has nothing substantive to say on the president. As we get closer and closer to the election we will be treated to a more frequent spew of Obama-the-Kenyan-Marxist-Muslim-revolutionary-whatever. As you say, HK, the right-wing puppet-masters are merely trying to make a northern elitist Mormom more palatable, and rappy.... sorry sod that he is... is more than happy to follow wherever they lead.

AND he's been spamming the board. But seeing as rappy has precious little to say about anything REAL in this "real-world-events-forum", I'm kinda with Niki on how we should respond. I think we should give our liberal sensibilities a rest, and realize that rappy is about like PN- maybe not as overtly crazy, but just as unreachable. I talk ABOUT rappy once in a while, and respond to him even less, and overall I think the fewer responses he gets, the better.

For those moments when we CAN'T resist, maybe we should just post our posts in a special thread called "FOR RAPPY", so as to keep his posts from clogging the top pf the board.

I would use this one, but it's too long.

Given I heard that several times from others (that the rightie wingnuts would come out from under their rocks and start going nuts here), and I wasn't here for the last election, I do note that

with nothing but "Obama bad" shit, so apparently that may be the case. It's awful early, and people keep bringing them back to the top, so this place has gotten downright boring. I'm really sick of seeing that go seh all over the top of the board all the time.

So I'm with Sig

Ergo, I will start just such a thread, and we'll SEE how many can resist bringing his pigshit back to the top so maybe we can have some ACTUAL posts to respond to. Worth a try, tho' I have my doubts...

Yeah. He must have seen Star Wars too. Or maybe he caught an Olympic Medal ceremony once or twice in his life. That's what people do when they're receiving a medal. I think it's cute that the good people at CNN think you're all so stupid to believe that this

equals

And before you say "well Trump didn't need to bow because the guy was taller", Leia was on a platform herself and towered over Luke and Han.

Actions have different meanings based on the situation.

Now that we've got you're Liberal silly out of the way....

What did Trump receive a medal for from the Saudis, and why would he accept it is what I want to know. That's the question everybody, especially his supporters, should be asking Trump.

Trump was getting bling.

What the hell did Obama get ?

Embarrassed and owned, is all.

In reality, how subservient the President is to another leader is reflected in what policy a President imposes, not on whether he got a medal or bowed.

I find Obama's Saudi/ Mideast policies self-contradictory. In some instances he forwarded the Saudi's interests (destroying Libya, supporting anti-Assad terrorist/ Saudi proxies) but then he makes a deal with Iran .... that's that big weird policy raisin in a bowl of policy oatmeal. In retrospect, Saudis (and Israelis, BTW) seem to think that Obama was NOT their friend, despite the numerous deals and military assistance that they received.

Trump seems to be taking a different tack, but what he will do is yet to be demonstrated.

I really should keep up with the msm more often, just to see what new tricks they're up to.

It's not really all that important. They're not up to any "new" tricks. Just the same old tricks in a different wrapper. Easily identifiable patterns and behaviors, really, that can be predicted without even paying more attention than to see what other people are posting about on boards such as this.

It's why I laugh when T calls me ignorant and thinks he knows any more about what is going on than I do because he spends all day taking in the MSM BS.

Do you mean new tricks as applied to Obama only, or in a more historical context - like how is Obama using new tricks not used before by others?
If applied more broadly, Obama is certainly using the DEEP STATE trick never previously used, or even thought of. And his unprecedented lingering around D.C. after his White House ouster is certainly new.

I wasn't referring to politicians, but the MSM in general. I was talking of a more historical context as well.
