See, another win for President Trump. He might be getting the band back together.

And how is this different from eight years of the right blaming Obama for things he had nothing to do with? White cops killing black people? Obama's fault. Mass shootings happening in schools, movie theaters, churches, and businesses? Obama's fault. Bristol Palin getting knocked up out of wedlock again? Obama's fault. Josh Duggar molesting his sisters as teenagers? Obama's fault (and yes, the right did blame Obama for those last two things).Many get caught up in blaming one side or the other. For the left, it seems to blame President Trump for EVERYTHING, even things he has nothing to do with.
Trump may get blamed for things he had nothing to do with, but he also takes credit for things he didn't even do as well, so he's already got a little too much credit going for him right now.he should get the credit. Just thought I'd turn the tables and give him a little credit. And give credit where credit is due. If the other side proposes something good, regardless of party affiliation, give them credit.
It's not. That was the point of the whole post. And stated in the very first sentence you quoted. Just because one side does it, doesn't make it right for the other side to do it. Two wrongs don't make a right. It's time to just stop with the whole blame thing and work on something constructive. And as I said in the original post, that goes for BOTH sides.And how is this different from eight years of the right blaming Obama for things he had nothing to do with?

Well, here's a good article about what was left out about Jimmy Kimmel's plea. While I believe that his plea was well-intentioned and meant to be non-political, it did fail to mention several things. We all agree, I think, that something needs to be done about making healthcare affordable. But the Republicans and Democrats have to quit playing the silly little political games and name calling and sit down and work something out TOGETHER!Here's a political cartoon that beautifully illustrates the reaction to Jimmy Kimmel sharing with the rest of the world about his newborn son's heart defects:
Yup. After Jimmy Kimmel gave an emotional monologue on his show about his newborn son's heart conditions, the GOP attacked him and accused him of using his celebrity status to push the liberal agenda, further proving the GOP includes the ugliest, nastiest, cruelest, coldest, and most heartless people in America.
After this joke of a "healthcare" bill, I am completely done with the Republicans. It's a tax break for the wealthy disguised as healthcare. They should be ashamed of their greed. I truly hope it is goodbye for them next year. And Trump should be ashamed of his ignorance and vanity.So the Republicans in the House passed their version of a healthcare bill today. I'm not a big fan of the new bill as I'm afraid they are just replacing one bad healthcare bill with another bad healthcare bill. There's a few positive things in the new bill but also a bunch of stuff I disagree with. But what do the Dems in the House do as the Republicans announce the final vote? They start singing "Na na na na, na na na na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye." as they are of the opinion that it will lead to some Republicans losing their seats. Really? Aren't there any grownups left in Washington anymore?
No, they're really not. They had seven years and clearly made no effort to come up with fixes or alternatives. All they cared about was beating the other party and keeping the 1% happy. They have utterly screwed the Middle class in this country, never mind the working class.The Republicans are trying to come up with something to take it's place.
Here's my thing though: Hillary still beat Bernie in a bunch of states. How do we know he wouldn't have lost to Trump either way?And believe me, I haven't forgotten the Democrats' part in all this. Bernie should have been the one to face Trump. He didn't have Hillary's baggage, he wouldn't have been so universally hated. And he actually had a moral code. Hillary's only code was "I'm ambitious, please give me power." But Bernie was Independent, and the Democrats wanted to keep it in their little clique. Plus he talked about the dangers of classism, which the Democrats bizarrely viewed as a distraction from racism. And in their delusion, they actually thought Hillary was believable as an oppressed minority. Excuse me while I laugh out loud.
You're right, I don't know. I just do, in part, blame Hillary's baggage for a lot of voters turning to Trump, when they wouldn't have otherwise.Here's my thing though: Hillary still beat Bernie in a bunch of states. How do we know he wouldn't have lost to Trump either way?
