Hypocrisy at its finest then...telling the Democrats of how they needed to accept the results of the elections regardless of who won because of "democracy" and yet they'll bitch and even perhaps do the same thing the Democrats did in response to Trump but with less people and more violence...truly quite the self-entitled.

The only good fanboy, is a redeemed fanboy.Of course he does. That's not just any cake. That's Trump Cake. They were at the Mar-a-Lago. He's literally using this press conference to advertise his hotel is by talking up its amazing cake.
That part needs to not be ignored. Trump isn't just being a silly goofball who can't prioritize. He's shilling his brand.
Maybe it's because they want to be one of the rich someday.
That's exactly it. Middle-class whites worship the wealthy elites. There's a stigma attached to wealth among suburbia that says those people are wealthy because they're paragons of hard work and effort. That every single dollar was earned the hard way, and if you work hard, then you too will one day join their illustrious ranks.
Middle-class whites hear the word "rich" and immediately think "the superior man, in whose image we must all aspire to follow".

Not much of a story but as for how much the president of the United States knows about foreign policy (or for the benefit of the doubt bolstering morale at home) well...
Trump says 'things will work out fine' between U.S. and Russia
"Things will work out fine between the U.S.A. and Russia. At the right time everyone will come to their senses & there will be lasting peace!" Trump said in a note on Twitter.
Anti-EPA Scott Pruitt says Obama created false choice between environment and jobs.
Oh, I hope you Choke on your "clean coal".

The hell? I know they trade in distortions and cherry-picking, but that is a flat-out lie. Obama was in the "environment and jobs can both be had" camp.
Speaking of Trump Tweets
THERE WILL BE LASTING PEACE!

That's pretty offensive. Potatoes are delicious and a vital source of nutrients worldwide.

Disgusted, but not surprisedYeah, we really can't compare anyone in the Trump administration to anything other than the Trump administration, because comparing them to anything else would definitely be an undeserved slander on the object of comparison.

Swing Left is launching district funds, that are for Democratic candidates in the general house elections in 2018.

They got hyped with Trump's election and fully went on the we president nao! train but once the train caught fire, the dumbfucks are still wondering if they have to burn or jump.
They will keep spamming their racist memes, making fake news, spreading bullshit stories about ebil libruls and butthurt thin skin SJ Ws, but without a massive help of the disinformation campaign aided by the Russians, Comey and Assange they aren't as big or as influential as they think they are.
This doesn't mean they aren't a threat though, Trump being elected made them feel validated and now they think they can let their prejudices out because they believe that it is socially acceptable again.
