Watch: Fun video shows how leftist arguments evolved between 2008 and 2016 – TheBlaze
"Using two characters, the toon transitions them having a conversation 8 years apart. Starting in 2008 at the beginning of President Obama’s first term, then fast forwarding to 2016, you can see just how leftists have become more bold and open about their stances, where once they were telling us we were paranoid for expecting the worst."

"Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton tonight in New York City.
The audience booed when he entered the theater.
(many also cheered)
Here's Pence getting booed as he gets to his seats at Hamilton pic.twitter.com/IRQG68x1sB— David K (@dkipke12) November 19, 2016
Then at the close of the performance the lead actor Brandon Dixon insulted the vice president-elect.
“Vice President elect Pence we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us here at Hamilton the American musical. We really do. We sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us.”
Seriously?
The lead actor directed lines at Pence saying the new administration “will not welcome them.”
Unreal scene here – Mike Pence walks in and there's a massive mix of cheers and boos. pic.twitter.com/GVZ5L67mA3— Noah Coslov (@NoahCoslov) November 19, 2016
Not everyone was giddy with the hateful welcome.
Pence getting booed at Hamilton bums me out. Whatever you think of him. He’s trying to engage. Could get ideas from far worse places. https://t.co/gn7j25Nuy7— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) November 19, 2016
Even far left New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman (a frequent mention in the Podesta Wikileaks emails) said it was disrespectful.
He's also the VP-elect. A level of disrespect https://t.co/Xgfbb0EpBH— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) November 19, 2016

Obama and Merkel.... Two Delusional, Divisive and Destructive Turds in a Leftist Punch Bowl
What do you get with a girl raised under brainwashed East German domination and a Community Organizer with deep seeded dislike of white culture and all it stands for?
Two Turds in a punch bowl.
Both have damaged the security of the west with their Utopian fantasies by opening up the gates to the third world destruction of European civilization.

Barry is in Germany as part of his 2016 Farewell / Apology Tour.
This time, of course, he’s apologizing to his fellow globalists that the stupid American voters elected Donald Trump.

...In a joint press conference with Angela Merkel, Obama proved once again that he lacks self-reflection not to mention a firm grasp on reality.
Obama attempted to reassure the foreign press that, though his party may have lost the election, his policies were still wildly popular among a nation where 70% of the people believe his policies are taking the country in the wrong direction. http://www.breitbart.com/…/poll-obama-has-failed-on-every-…/

When asked to explain why Trump won, Obama blamed it on “social media.”
Part of what’s changed in politics is social media and how people are receiving information.
Uh …. It’s easier to make negative … uh … attacks … aaaand … simplistic slogans than it is to communicate … uhhhh … complex policies.

Simplistic slogans?
You mean like.... “Yes we can?” "Hope and Change?" and “Stronger Together?”...

Krauthammer: Trump Can & Should Withhold Funding From Sanctuary Cities | Fox News Insider
Krauthammer: Trump Can & Should Withhold Funding From Sanctuary Cities | Fox News Insider:
"He argued that sanctuary cities should not be allowed in the first place, but they have been tolerated by Democrats, and now the issue is coming to a head.
"I think Trump would be within his rights to withhold funds, and he should," Krauthammer said. "And the Democrats are making a big bet - and a mistaken one - if they decide that they're going to defy the federal government and what seems to be common sense: Control your borders.""

Fill-In-The-Blank Tweets Go Viral: “Haven’t Seen Democrats This Angry (SINCE REPUBLICANS FREED THEIR SLAVES)” – American Lookout: "Democrats are very upset by Trump’s election.
They’re so upset they’re protesting at Trump Tower, even spitting on Trump staff.
But, it’s Democrats who have a history of racism and injustice.
Democrats have a history of hurting minorities.
A history of terrible things.
Conservatives have taken it upon themselves to remind the Democrats of their history through fill-in-the-blank Tweets. And they’re going viral.
Jack Posobiec has put out some of the best:
"I haven't seen Democrats this frustrated since Republicans freed all of their slaves." - @JackPosobiec
It’s all true:

The left's new weapon, "Fake News"-----After Trump’s win, Twitter bans right-wingers, and Facebook targets “fake news”
After Trump’s win, Twitter bans right-wingers, and Facebook targets “fake news” - The Rebel: "Countless right wing Twitter accounts have just been shut down by that company and its social justice warrior CEO, Jack Dorsey.
Now, of course, Twitter is a private company, even if it is rather like a public utility, like a phone company.
It has terms of service.
And those terms of service say that Twitter users can’t threaten violence or stalk people.
But Twitter cut off people who were not breaking their terms of service, or being threatening or violent in any way.
They are simply right wing.
It would be like a cell phone company cutting off your phone because you were talking about right wing things.
Just saying things Jack Dorsey and his significant shareholder, Saudi Prince Al Waleed, don’t like.
We’ve shown you before how pervasive this left-wing censorship is at Google, Facebook, and of course, Twitter.
And they were all in for Clinton, and now she’s gone.
And the other new thing is “fake news”:
That means any news that liberals don’t like will be banned.
They don’t mean, say, NBC faking news with Brian Williams, or CBS faking news with Dan Rather, or when CNN leaked debate questions in advance to Hillary Clinton.
It took Jack Dorsey precisely one week to get over his sadness about losing, and move to his next stage: anger.
To ban and smash and censor.
To do precisely all the things he said he was so worried Trump will do.
