Obviously the one about guns and invading Texas dont apply, but a lot of this chicken little insanity is being uttered almost word-for-word by democrats now that Trump is on the verge of taking office.

Didn't a poster here say he thought Obama was going to try to stay in office? Where did that even come from?

That was Seacrest, and the thought came from someone he only refers to in code: Jalex Aones.

Yes.

I'll be interested in the similar list 4 years from now.

How does that equate to: I will not leave office. It seems more to be criticizing the way the Clinton's campaigned.

I dont know if this is exactly what you meant, but a lot of the things on this list also began with the Clinton campaign and were only picked up and ran with by Republicans after the election.

Obama has never once shown any desire for power past his term. At his farewell speech he literally said, "we can't do that" to people chanting 4 more years.

He's never been anything other than classy.

But even though he had less executive orders than several other presidents, it just felt like he had more. And based on that you always had a feeling that he would declare that he would remain in power for four more years.

Especially when the lights in the White House were turned off when Trump was declared winner.

Or the when he took more than a million acres of open land from a state that never voted for him.

You have a different definition for classy then I do.

Both of these sound made up, but you are right, Obama should have celebrated when Trump won after the bullshit Trump pulled over the birth certificate.

You can't take land you already own and I am pretty sure Obama won Nevada.

It was well after midnight on the east coast when Trump was declared the winner. Obama was probably in bed, like most people who don't rage tweet at 3:30 in the morning.

To suggest that this was an indication that Obama would not be relinquishing the presidency is nothing short of insanity.

Indeed...

Obama has designated more land and water for protection than any administration in history, and the designations will be difficult for President-elect Trump to reverse.
By Valerie Volcovici, Reuters December 28, 2016


WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Wednesday designated over 1.6 million acres of land in Utah and Nevada as national monuments, protecting two areas rich in Native American artifacts from mining, oil and gas drilling in one of his final moves to protect the environment.

"Today's actions will help protect this cultural legacy and will ensure that future generations are able to enjoy and appreciate these scenic and historic landscapes," Obama said in a statement.

Obama used the 1906 Antiquities Act to protect 1.35 million acres of federal land at Bears Ears in Utah

So Obama didn't take any land? That's really good to know. Next thing you'll tell me is Obama didn't cut out the lights at the White House because he was calling Hillary Clinton to tell her to concede. #ClasslessMan

No one said it was. Except for you.

Try and keep up. Ruffcorn claimed the POTUS was nothing but classy. I gave two examples of behavior that was not.

For you to state I was referring to Nevada is not insane, but expected.

last spring/summer there was some supposedly "leaked texts" purporting to be from someone high up in BLM to uhhh.... loretta lynch? yeah someone in the obama administration, and these texts showed an up-n-back talking about how they planned for a summer of increasing protests/violence/etc with the ultimate hope to make such a shitshow that martial law would be declared b4 the election and that obama would stay as president indefinitely (which was deemed an "acceptable" outcome by whoever the BLM person was)

so idk if these purported "leaked texts" were the origins of this sentiment or ultimately more of "an example" of this sentiment, but suffice to say that people were legit worried that an increasingly-imminent trump nomination would cause the left to get increasingly more willing to do "whatever it takes" to uphold their "anyone but trump" (aka "NO TRUMP FOR YOU! BAD AMERICA! *SLAPS VOTING HAND*) ethos.

plus, it'd be awfully hard for the legit-racists out there to stick with their "king [n-word]" label if the guy was always just gonna step down and "let the democratic process unfold" so a hypothetical strawman/boogeyman was invented in order to fan the flames [of hate] and ratchet up the intensity that EVERYONE HAS TO GET OUT THERE AND DO SOMETHING B4 [NIGHTMARE SCENARIO] UNFOLDS!!! so that way people with such convictions could hopefully swing more "casual" people over to their "side" via the hope of preventing some kind of [horrible outcome] --- this is a concept that the left obviously isn't used to, so it's no surprise that i'd have to explain it in the here and now =P

Post subject:  Re: Memories of the past 8 years
also while this thread is what it is cuz [media] and all, i think just being able to post a thread like this in ~4yrs would be a perfect counter-balance to the kind of "chicken little scenarios" that everyone throws out here as some kind of [nightmarish outcome] that will happen if you don't vote for their candidate/s.

basically, what i'm trying to say is that this isn't a LOL RIGHT-WINGERS thing as much as it's the same exact thing on both sides on the aisle (and my point about "merely being able to post here in 4 years is basically the same thing as speeps' link" = "hey at least the righties weren't playing the apocalypse card 8 years ago as much as ppl were doing in 2016" especially when it became obvious that the "TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER [REINCARNATE]!!!" card didn't achieve the desired results in 2016)

edit: and honestly, i'd argue that the "nightmare scenarios" that people laid out for obama 4/8 years ago = more of a "sign of the times" than it was a LOL RIGHT-WINGERS!!! thing, because given the shitshow we experienced in 2016 i'd say that the same general sentiment from 4/8 years ago (that we're supposed to laugh at now) was even more ?!?!?!LOLWAT??!?!? in 2016 -- and that has more to do with the perpetual-ratcheting-up of "stakes" than it does having to do with righties or lefties being the "losing side" aka "counterculture [in name only for the lefties =]"

anyways, brb, time to go stock up the fallout bunker and damn the heavens that vlad didn't get in the HOF on the last baseball HOF ballot of all time cuz you know, the world is ending very soon. it used to be that people who claimed that were stereotyped as the kind of delusional lot you usually see out on downtown street corners brandishing giant cardboard signs like "THE END IS NEAR!!!!" but now since a lot of Don Tiny's Good Upstanding People are saying the same thing it's not because there are a lot more people out there worthy of veritable cardboard signs, it's because it's the actual end of the world cuz you know, [reasons aka Trump]
