It was GW Bush winning the election that allowed Microsoft to a settlement.

... for those who think that Trump is an outlier. No, just a slight acceleration to a very much established trend.

People used to joke that W was the bottom of the barrel, then the GOP did a hold my beer and dug a little deeper.

Crazy to think there were no GOP presidents between Bush and Trump. I first interpreted this as the new record low is lower than the old record low. But no, Trump was the very next one.

Kid Rock is probably next, or worse.

Crazy to think that, despite trump existing, the Democrats still lost two elections to him.

Well they had their chance for "change" with Obama, just like the french PS had their chance for "changement" with Hollande. And both betrayed their electoral base and honest people by empowering multinational corporations against consumers and small businesses. Who could have predicted that noone would want to elect them again?

Please. If you’re an adult and you still believe anything any politician ever says, then you may still have some growing up to do.

Left. Right. Up. Down. Doesn’t matter. A politicians job description nowadays boils down to doing everything in their power benefit themselves and their partners and to hell with you unimportant people if it bothers you any.

If the democrats were serious about winning they would be putting forward candidates that actually have a chance of being popular

Hillary and Kamala were just really bad choices
