- lol still going on about Obama and emails I see.inteliboy
- For starters, Obama always an consistently supported gay marriage and equality, no matter what, and despite his beliefs.monospaced
- He also was very transparent about his shifting stance on the subject over the next 8 years. It's well document in eloquent speech if you don't believe me.monospaced
- But yeah, ignore reality and I can see why a conservative might get a boner for this nonsense post.monospaced
- this article charts his progress and growing up on the issue http://time.com/3816…lowimpakt
- Black-listed! Woah now!!robotron3k
- hypocrisy is unbecoming no matter how eloquent the speech may be, mono... obama switched stances to satisfy constituents... which is disgusting.PonyBoy
- I wouldn't go so far to say he's a hypocrite. His views did change, legitimately. Most importantly, he never injected his personal views into his politics.monospaced
- I also changed my views on the subject over the last couple of decades. That's not disgusting, is it? It's called personal evolution, and it's a good thing.monospaced
- He didn't win votes by saying he would attack gay marriage, nor did he win them supporting it. His political and support for gay marriage never changed. Ever.monospaced
- He pandered to a religious side of his party—thus Kevin Hart's quote. You're not disgusting for changing your mind—you're disgusting if you lie for a vote.PonyBoy
- That's the thing. I don't think he lied. I think he genuinely held one view, and that it evolved over a decade. But these are just opinions of ours, nothing mormonospaced
- "His political and support for gay marriage never changed. Ever." or "I think he genuinely held one view, and that it evolved over a decade." which?PonyBoy
- Cuz I'm still of the idea he pandered to those of faith in his own party... I agree w/your first statement that he has never changed (and thus lied for votes)PonyBoy
- Once again, his personal beliefs never impacted his politics. For example, despite his early beliefs, his platform was always FOR gay marriage support.monospaced
- I doubt he won any religious votes considering he would NEVER even entertain the abolishment of gay marriage.monospaced
- And later, when his beliefs evolved, his platform remained consistent. there's nothing nefarious about that. He was always politically consistent.monospaced
- I sincerely don't think he lied at all, for votes.monospaced
- Not buying it, mono. :) To be shifty is to be a politician. I believe the man sincerely pandered to religious folks when it was necessary (pre-2008)...PonyBoy
- ... but when the PC mood shifted he shifted too. THAT shift makes him a hypocrite BEFORE the public PC mood shift. Pre-2008 all he did was pander.PonyBoy
- And let's be clear: If you're truly 'Christian' or any Abrahamic religion you believe scripture. To shift those scriptures to meet current Pop Culture shows...PonyBoy
- ... 'you're' either a hypocrite or you didn't give a shit about the Faith you say you're a part of to begin with. Either way you're living up to what is...PonyBoy
- ...currently considered politically correct but not scripturally correct. If you say you're of a certain Faith but don't follow it you are a hypocrite...PonyBoy
- ... and in Obama's case... a pandering hypocrite.PonyBoy
- Who's christian conservative votes did he win pre-2008 saying this? I'll wait.monospaced
- he wasn't pandering to them... I already said it was the xtians in the dem party he was pandering to... ... he appealed to nearly zero conservatives (duh)PonyBoy
- "He pandered to a religious side of his party"... is what I said... referring to the blue dogs who still give a shit about their faithPonyBoy

Video of Trump meeting with Chuck & Nancy, and Pence not saying shit.
- Pence just patiently waiting his presidency turnKrassy
- that was a shitshowdorf
- Chuck dunking on him face-to-face was funny as shit. welcome to the next two years.BonSeff
- Oh lordy, Chuck and Nancy were ambushed, but they did highlight their stubborn attitudes.robotron3k
- no they weren'tmonospaced
- Is not wanting to shut down the government stubborn? If anything, this is trump being a baby, saying he’ll shut it down if he doesn’t get $10b for a wall.monospaced
- robo doesn't understand that the government is comprised of working americans, like the rest of us.BonSeff

- Hmmm based on what I read the caravan consists of a few thousand people...can you explain how that has any effect at all on homeless veterans?yuekit
- This is just a distraction so people won't pay attention to UKs Brexit hard exit that will occur in March 2019. It's taken Trump off the front page it's so bad.robotron3k
- buy fewer fighter jets and look after your vets. The mindset behind this shitty cartoon is vile and reprehensible.lowimpakt
- The only travesty here is spending money to send troops to the border when it could be spent on vets. Even worse is spending billions on a wall.monospaced
- freedom, your mom is asking when will you be able to complete that GED?zaq
- The real joke here is that Republicans would ever contemplate spending more money on homeless people.yuekit
- Aren't homeless people considered sub-human in the US?PhanLo
- By conservatives, yes, they are. Along with non christians and most people with darker skin.monospaced

- he lost the popular vote by 2%monospaced
- Let it sink in, and let it burn, that this is really the only form of data display that this dumbass can possibly semi comprehend.mg33
- So maybe 15% of the country (blue) holds 50% of the population... That doesn't seem correct unless most of the US is empty, no wonder Trump won.robotron3k
- It is absolutely correct that a small portion of the country has the most people. NYC is 2.5% of the population alone. CA is easily 10% by itself.monospaced
- Most of the US IS empty. The most empty parts are populated by the most ignorant, least educated, and poorest people in the country. That's who voted for him.monospaced
- And even then, he LOST the popular vote. Almost every single person living in a real city voted against him and continues to. Those are progressive people.monospaced

- If you overlay the education and income maps, you'll see that the red votes were from the least educated and poorer states.monospaced
- If the poor and ignorant won this last election, what about the rich and educated votes over the last 50+ years?! There were some fun ups for surerobotron3k
- Going up on his cool wall...see_thru
- What about them, robo? You're talking about politics from decades ago, around civil rights, vietnam and other wars.monospaced
- Degrees and income are not measures of intelligence. Hell intelligence would question why such few populations with many ppl seem to lean a certain way********
- Are those major cities beacons where people want to go to, or are they shedding population through backwards thinking?********
- Can large cities overcome tribalistic instincts and homogeny and truely be diverse and free. It seems to not be in our nature.********
- A minority of tribes seem to think in one direction vs a majority. Yes the minority has numbers, but why so many others not on board?********
- Why are people leaving the minority blue areas for the red? Just saw Nevada had 2% growth with a huge shift from CA********
- the image says a lot. i just don't think people are seeing what it represents. In a nutshell the blue represent you socialistic areas. Free food attracts stray********
- cats. Gets enough cats to have a lot of numbers but eats at food supplies. Without major gov bailouts u are going to see those areas wither and starve********

- interest over bubble city interests if I had no idea of what the fuck i was talking about. Why i wasnt surprised trump won and why i wont be surprised 2019 will********
- be the year to see the bubble pop and try to impeach him out of fear of letting him win a second go because nothing better.********
- im rambling now. i guess don't take that image as mere land mass, vs numbers. think of it as tribes or teams and basic statistics that a large number similar********

another deathboy comment rantmonospaced - and yes, the cities are attracting the most educated people, IN DROVES, and the cities are truly diverse and progressive, to answer your first questionsmonospaced
- mono... your idea of educated is more involuntary serfdom... those educated are more than likely unable to replace a bulb... its sad********
- Has your debt per individual become positive in your state or at least improved?... ha .. ha...********
- the idea of the "higher" education system has been systematically reduced to the whims of the minority. not that it was ever necessary********
- colleges and hospitals have been 2 major players in debt driven growth that will soon feel the repercussions of reality.********
- At least hopefully until they try to convince a large populace to do their bidding and gain funds through socialistic ideals.********
- And as far as diversity goes. You say city is diverse. But you see overall numbers and have to question bias in proximity vs rural and abroad that have less********
- revenue spend. Does "Russians" drive the more diverse rural america to vote a certain way? I dont think so. I think its quite easy to understand********
- They have yet to swallow the shit from the city folk and MSM and still has a bit of common sense to realize the bullshit being sold********
- Again look at Michel de Montaigne for such understandings********
- You’re incredibly off topic. I’m talking about this map and who voted for trump, and why this map shouldn’t be celebrated you dunce.monospaced
- And trust me. I’m not the one saying cities are diverse. It’s a god damn fact. Same with education and income and skill levels higher there. Just facts.monospaced
- It’s just a fact that the blue areas are more populated, more educated, diverse and progressive. It’s not an argument. Just basic facts.monospaced
- It’s not a debate or an argument and there’s not even a discussion of what education type is better. The statistics are concrete.monospaced
