First off the Democrats did NOT have control of Congress for very long at all during the Obama Administration.Just like they don’t want to solve the DACA problem, why didn’t the Democrats pass gun control legislation when they had both the House & Senate during the Obama Administration. Because they didn’t want to, and now they just talk!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2018
Courtesy of Ohio.com:
In May, 2009, Robert Byrd got sick and did not return to the Senate until July 21, 2009. Even though Franken was finally seated July 7, 2009 and Byrd returned on July 21…..Democrats still only had 59 votes in the Senate because Kennedy never returned, dying on August 25, 2009.
Kennedy’s empty seat was temporarily filled by Paul Kirk but not until September 24, 2009.
The swearing in of Kirk finally gave Democrats 60 votes (at least potentially) in the Senate. “Total control” of Congress by Democrats lasted all of 4 months. From September 24, 2009 through February 4, 2010…at which point Scott Brown, a Republican, was sworn in to replace Kennedy’s Massachusetts seat.
This is a lie that the Republicans have been telling for eight years now, and they need to be called out on it EVERY..SINGLE..TIME!
And as for the Democrats not wanting to do anything about gun control, in the five years right after Gabby Giffords was shot the Democrats introduced more than 100 gun control bills, and they were ALL blocked by the Republicans.
Very few of them even made it to the House or Senate floor.
I know that this orange POS lies like some people draw breath, but we cannot allow him to spread this bullshit on our watch .
Dems had a fillibuster proof majority for four months of Obama's first 2 years.
ReplyDeleteAnd Obama squandered it.
DeleteI said so then.
They could have done so much during that time.
Instead they wasted their time trying to "compromise" and be bipartisan.
You don't compromise with a rabid dog.
You can't be bipartisan with the devil.
Go back in time, omg just pass legislate now!
ReplyDeleteImpeach fat disgusting shitgobbon on office he is a
Traitor
To turn the tables now, the Republicans have the House and Senate. What are *they* doing?
DeleteNothing good for the American people. They're funneling our tax dollars into the pockets of the wealthy. They've tried to take away health care again and failed. They'll try again. They and theirs have abolished protections for the people and the nation.
Are they doing anything about guns? Las Vegas? No. Florida? No.
They aren't even protecting our elections from the enemy.
They're too busy lining their own pockets and gerrymandering to retain power. You can't expect honorable actions from a group that lives by voter fraud.
Here are more lies, (and the rebuttals to combat them.):

Trump, when cornered, always blames the other side for what he has done. It happens again and again. He's that little kid caught with his hand stuck in the cookie jar denying that he even went near it.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Sure is and has been his M.O.
DeleteHe is also blaming the FBI for dropping the ball because they are spending too much time on Russia,like the FBI can only do one investigation at a time. Idiot
Dumbass Trump doesn't realize that he's painting himself into a corner when he says that Democrats didn't pass gun control legislation while they had control of both the House and the Senate (for 4 months!) because "they didn't want to". Then what's his excuse for the Republican failure to pass legislation in accordance with his agenda (wall, infrastructure, immigration, healthcare, etc.).
ReplyDeleteHe'll blame the Democrats again, because he doesn't have a filibuster proof majority.
DeleteWith Trump there's always an excuse, always someone else's fault.
He gets away with this. His supporters will believe him as they do any lie that comes out of his mouth. He goes this because it works.
ReplyDeleteWhen those sweet little kids were killed in that Sandy Hook shooting. And nothing got done, I knew it was a fruitless hope for any gun regulation. All the talk about gun bumps went nowhere. Most of the politicians are owned by NRA and pro gun constituents. Ain’t nothing gonna happen.
Sandy Hook was also mine! The absolute outrage worldwide, Wayne LaPierre NRA defense speech, President Obama in tears, "please. do something," and congress sits on their fat asses collecting checks.
Delete$arah went out and bought TAWD a new rifle in honor of it. "Because I could."
Just saw a group of students from FL on Face the Nation. Watch out Washington, they are intelligent,articulate and have all ready begun to mobilize to take on trump and congress.
ReplyDeleteThey have set up a web site with a wall of shame for any politician that has taken money from the NRA and planning a march on for march 24.
They slammed trump's tweet blaming Obama by telling him he is in charge now along with a republican congress and has done nothing,also went after Rubio.
They are inspiring and are not going to take the BS excuses anymore,hope they don't lose the faith once they start dealing with the bureaucracy that has worn so many down.
These students think for themselves and can connect the dots very quickly. They call BS when they hear and see it. Good for them and us!
DeleteTime to join the March. I’ll be there March 24.
DeleteWe not only need to pull the teeth of the NRA, but get rid of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
DeleteOne of those Florida kids is going to take Rubio's seat.
And there you have it.

DELUSIONAL POOPS!!
ReplyDeleteThis was his response to Emma's speech about taking money from the NRA,those students are ripping him to shreds on twitter!
ReplyDeleteDon't have links b/c on phone
Good for those kids; they have the snark to do it (respond to Trumplethinskin's puerile tweetfarts and cut him down). BTW, they are also organizing a "March for Our Lives" to be held on Washington, D.C. and other major cities on March 24th. I hope it grows, get more attention, and adds to the Blue Tsunami.
DeleteWhat kind of ID-10-T "leader" does a photo-op in a survivor's hospital room wearing a shit eating grin and thumbs up?
ReplyDeleteDonald trump thats who
DeleteAnd republicans just send thoughts and prayers.
DeleteSomeone with a Twitter account should tweet donnie: so why don't you pass gun contol and show that guy Obama that you are the more winning one.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell?! Why are we US citizens having to endure this pos traitor chief?!
ReplyDeleteGet rid of him!!
In US jobs workers can't be this kind of sheetheaded!!
Wish my thoughts could just be real right now! And They are not pleasant at all! They are just thoughts.
Dick of verification. Leaving
ReplyDeleteThat muthafucka in the White House is reversing what is actually happening. Itsn't that called gaslighting.
