Which is why the Democrat who was just elected Governor is now being subjected to an unprecedented attempt by the legislature to usurp his powers. But oh no, that's not a coup....

Refusing a vote on Obamas appointments could also be a coup... denying him the power he's been granted as president.

This is why I called the Democratic Party leaders wimps as they allow this to happen over and over.

Not to mention Obama did not put Garland in via recess appointment when he had the chance.

I said it was a mistake at the time, but I just got poo-pooed by the bots here who assured me that Obummer was playing some kind of long game that would hurt the Republicans in the election.

Garland's appointment would have been temporary and the 'brain trust' of the Dem Party (brain damaged is more like it) figured anointing Hillary as President will be a slam dunk. Well Hillary lost to Trump and that's like Stockton dunking on Malone.

To a certain extent yes.

However Obama has also been a wimp.

Or perhaps a stealth collaborator.

This is a handsome charismatic dude who was elected in 2008 with a substantial mandate and had an almost cult like following of supporters.

He never put that to use.

I have felt for years the GOP was a party in search of a Dictator. Due to their "my way or the highway" tactics in governing. States like Indiana Kansas Kentucky Michigan and so on, the GOP gains control and ram their agenda down the throats or the citizens.

My hope is in our country being strong enough to weather the coming assault by the right. The youth of this country will be the deciding factor. For like in my youth there was an unpopular war going on and a draft. It was the youth once awoken that forced a change upon the establishment. I see the majority of the young today, not much for sacrifices and hard work. So will they roll over and accept the new wave or fight back? Only time will tell.

The coming assault by the right?

Dude, that assault has been going on since about 1970.

Yet you applaud the most conservative cabinet in decades, owned lock, stock, and barrel by Goldman Sachs and the oil industry. Congratulations, you've been conned but are too proud and stupid to admit it.

Way longer than that. McCarthy and the various Red Scares of the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s were the right trying to scaremonger the sheep into compliance.

The difference now is that they finally found a useful idiot to play the part of El Presidente, appointing alt-right fanatic operatives to the Department of Education and so-on.
