And yet you didn't react badly at all to an actual genocidal leader who's attacked other countries with no justification..the crime of aggression..and who'd very much like to have a war with Russia while dominating the planet in the belief of her country's exceptional ism and manifest destiny . Like Hitler did .
you're happy to normalise all that while grossly exaggerating this shitshow . probably in the hope that insane war criminal manages to get in somehow.

Had a gander in the hope he's now deceased, no such luck but.
Akin's Congressional career ended after he lost a bid to unseat DemocraticU.S. Senator Claire McCaskill in the 2012 election. Akin, who had won the Republican primary in a crowded field, led McCaskill in pre-election polls until he said that women who are victims of what he called "legitimate rape" rarely get pregnant. Akin eventually apologized for the remark but rebuffed calls to withdraw from the election.[1] He lost to McCaskill by 54.7 percent to 39.2 percent.[2] In a book published in July 2014, Akin said that he regretted apologizing and defended his original comments.
Utter total bastard.

Boozman died when his barn collapsedThere's a whole bunch of them:
The 7 Most Outrageous GOP Explanations For Why Rape Victims Can't Get Pregnant
The last one, Fay Boozman, died when his barn collapsed on him
Would have been a better link if all 7 had died in equally painful ways, but one out of seven ain't bad

In a 'humiliating' and 'threatening' tone, Trump lambasted Mexico's president during a phone call
During a phone call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Friday, US President Donald Trump disparaged Mexico and threatened to use military force against the drug trade, according to Dolia Estevez, a journalist based in Washington, DC.
In an interview with the Mexican news outlet Aristegui Noticias, Estevez, who cited sources on both sides of the call, said, "It was a very offensive conversation where Trump humiliated Peña Nieto."
He's desperate to start a war, anywhere, just a war.
Whey, they do have a history of winning wars against Mexico, they pinched a YUGGGGE tract of Mexico during the last one.
Mebbes the arseholes next EXO will be "manifest destiny 2"

Aye the "double edged sword" is a cause for concern, ATM it's being wielded without thought by the Orange arsehole, while the opposition try to maintain a modicum of restraint, decency and truthfulness.
Time the opposition gets with the programme and rips the Orange arsehole and associates a whole new orifice.
Restraint and decency are portrayed ( successfully) as the losers in the current US political landscape.

You might not have noticed, but try having a look at the thread title? There's another you might like better, Obamas legacy?
Or you could start one of your own, perhaps "Hillary, lock the bitch up" ?
But FFS, take your anti Dem/Clinton obsession to some dark corner, people might even visit

Who is the 'you' this is addressed to? More like 'at' really. You're not really talking 'to' anybody.

He's pretty young as well. He could be there for 30 years. The next one to pop their clogs will be more trouble. This appointment will basically mean back to where they were before the old racist Scalia died.

Donald Trump often says things that are not true, a pattern that has continued right into the presidency. Much has been made of this, but it should not obscure the fact that his official actions thus far have been perfectly consistent with the principles and priorities he broadcasted during the campaign.
He is what he said he was: an enemy of free trade, immigration, regulation, abortion rights; a defender of the American fossil fuel industry and the use of torture. He won an election on these foundations, and his energetic pursuit of them as president is fitting and legitimate. The idea that Mr Trump is to be taken “seriously but not literally” — now worn smooth with repetition — was a canard all along.
No laws were made in Mr Trump’s first week, of course. He signed executive orders directing that Obamacare implementation be slowed, environmental approvals for infrastructure projects be expedited, immigration law be comprehensively enforced, and the Mexican border wall built. He published memoranda making way for oil pipelines, freezing hiring in parts of the government, withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement and banning funding for global aid organisations that provide abortions.
Barack Obama, in the first week of his presidency, signed an order commanding that the Guantánamo Bay detention facility be closed. It remains operational today. Congress needs to fund and enact Mr Trump’s agenda. But the Republicans who control both houses have signalled no objections. Many if not all of these commands, and many more on similar lines, will be effected. The only area where Mr Trump’s party has shown any inclination to resist is on torture.
If the president’s policy has been surprisingly consistent, his behaviour has been predictably erratic. In his first week, Mr Trump has told and retold a dangerous falsehood that delegitimises the electoral system and could open the way to disenfranchising eligible citizens, and talked himself and the US into a desperately tense stand-off with Mexico. There is, as yet, no evidence that either of these actions resulted from planning, strategic intent, or consultation with advisers. The president is impulsive, thin-skinned, and combative. This is already affecting how the US is governed and how the world works.
Mr Trump and his press secretary got into a pointless conflict with the press over the size of the crowd at the inauguration, about which both men told easily refuted untruths. Dishonest bravado of this sort is one of Mr Trump’s trademarks, as voters well understood. The issue was trivial in any case. Alas, the president was just getting warm: on Monday Mr Trump stated, unbidden, that 3m to 5m illegal voters cost him the popular vote. Pressed on this groundless claim, he buttressed it with scraps of incoherent nonsense and cited studies showing nothing of the kind. It was a sorry display, which will not stop Republicans intent on restricting the franchise from running with it.
Mr Trump ordered that the border wall proceed, insisting again that it would be paid for by Mexico, in the days before Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto was due for a summit in Washington. Mr Peña Nieto, offered humiliation, cancelled instead. The administration responded with a proposal of a 20 per cent border tax, before backtracking equivocally. The president styles himself as a master dealmaker. Perhaps there is negotiating wizardry concealed beneath this apparent shambles. A more plausible interpretation is that the president is not seeking a deal, does not care about Mexico, and thinks the US can do without its friendship.
This newspaper believes Mr Trump’s views on both trade and immigration are comprehensively wrong-headed and will leave America and the world poorer and less safe. It is possible we will be proven wrong and Mr Trump proven right. What is beyond debate is that friends and allies — which is what the US and Mexico have been and should aspire to always be — do not subject one another to casual humiliation. This is what Mr Trump has done, for no apparent gain.
In questioning the election result and in insulting a crucial neighbour, Mr Trump has prioritised chest-beating over cultivation of the country’s best interest. Whatever you call this behaviour, it is not putting America first.

As if things aren't bad enough without making stuff up. If this were true it would be all over the news.

I don't know if this is true either but it looks like it.
Before the election, so not so surprising.
