Trump First Term I: I for One Welcome Our New Trumpy Overlord

Re: Trump First Term I: I for One Welcome Our New Trumpy Overlord

well mookie is reading and hearing that 60 million people who voted for tD are facing similar circumstances!!!!

tD trump voters did all actually take a very specific and impactful action for which judgment is possible. A billion Muslims have not...they are being castigated due to their religion and nothing else. Pretty much the definition of bigotry.

And there are potential negative governmental policy implications for Muslims...while there are rewards for trump supporters.

Maybe the groups are a bit different after all.

No, it's like lumping the rest of us that tried to stop it in with those 60 million in VanillaISIS.

Your average American Trump voter.

Maybe if instead of blowing all his money on toys(his Lionel train collection, his restored cars, his vintage guitar collection, his motorcycles, smoking $50 cigars in his hot tub) he could have been saving something. Buy his health savings accounts that the Republicans push for, invest in his retirement, pay off his mortgage on his dream compound sooner. But no, don't take responsibility for your own lifestyle, and then blame everyone else when the bottom falls out.

I have no sympathy for this man. Nor do I need to 'understand' why he feels the way he does. It's his own damm fault.

This isn't news to many, but Michael Flynn is dangerous. He said: "This is Islamism, it is a vicious cancer inside the body of 1.7 billion people on this planet and it has to be excised."

Claiming that every Muslim is an extremist is a dangerous. If you've ever spent any time with them, you'll know the vast vast majority - at least the ones here - are really good people.

It's not just the ones here. The year I spent in the ME tells me they're no different than you nor I save a few cultural and religious differences, none of which made them believe I was an infidel worthy of death. The sheer ignorance of the "I'm building a bunker" set in this country is mind boggling. I know some will argue it's not, but it really is that so many people parachute slide to such an extreme conclusion simply because Sean Hannity tells them so.

That was an interesting read. I did like that the writer printed out his awful tweets and shared them with that guy. The fact that it didn't appear to phase him, that's the stuff that's worrisome.

My favorite part was when he talked about how wrong it was to rip Dubya...so when Obama came around he did the same thing cause fair is fair. Apparently to the Trumpers 2 wrongs do make a right.

I also like how he hates the Clintons for being Elitist...but voted for Donald Trump a man is so elitist he wont do anything unless his name is literally plastered on it. I doubt he sees the irony of that...

Meanwhile Trump has already backed off every promise he made and he is still 2 months out from Inauguration Day. She should re-visit in 4 years and see if he still feels Trump represents him. Also she should check to see if he says mean things about Melania and how she looks...something tells me he wont though.

From the article:

The appeal, he said, was that Drumpf stands for “law and order,” and “I am a rule follower. You’ve got to follow the rules, they are there for a reason.”

You gotta love the blind allegiance.

All politiciansmake promises they cannot keep. Trump makes promises with absolute indifference to whether he keeps them or not. He lives in the moment

Jill Stein is trying to raise money for the recount...further proof it is a bad idea.

Of course maybe if her conspiracy theory *** had not run things would have been different...

I don't mind it, only because I think there should be a higher threshold for automatic recounts. Some states have a 0.5% threshold, others have as low as 2000 votes. At the minimum I think it should be 1%. This would take out Pennsylvania, but would put New Hampshire back up for recount.

Yeah...I mean Hillary would have broken almost all the Progressive promises she made by the end of her term. Everyone knew it that is part of the game. (the dumbest part but that is anther argument) Most of us who chose to vote for her that didnt support her previously figured Centrist > Rightie. It is a pragmatic vote.

The people who vote for Donald are true believers. You dont make a middle finger vote just for the lulz. They voted for him BECAUSE of the off the cuff crap he says. They voted for him because he says what they are feeling. They harbor a bit of hatred towards illegal and legal immigrants (it is nothing new this country has always been like that) and they hate "Educated Elites" and they care more about their personal lot in life than they do everyone else. They want to feel safe (hence the ongoing Military Circle Jerk) and feel like they have financial means even when they dont.(like the neighbor with his Million Dollar compound) They like his sexist comments because that is how they talk and figure he is just like them cause he says it. They hate ObamaCare, they hate the government and they hate PC. They dont care what he has done, because in their minds it wont be done to them. They didnt vote for him because of his economic policy, they voted for him because of the agenda he put forth, because it is an agenda they agree with either consciously or unconsciously.

Note: I am only speaking of people who ACTUALLY voted for Trump. The ones who sat home or voted for The Idiot or the Conspiracy Theorist are a whole different breed of stupid. #wedontgivea****aboutthewholestateofMichigan #Wisconsincanblowme

It is going to be interesting to see how the average Trump Supporter feels in 4 years. The Alt-Right Nazis will still back him because he has legitimized their movement but I wonder how those people that want Mexicans deported, Muslims on a registry and the rest of his nonsense will feel when they have no money, no jobs, no safety net and their taxes are killing them cause they dont make enough for the GOP and Trump to care? People will take being lied to when they are getting theirs in the end...but when you got nothing the lies stand out even more. Suckers...

I am all for recounts...there is enough time between Election Night and Inauguration Day to get things right and I agree there should be set standards cause the current rules are a mess. The problem is there is no evidence of any sort of real malfeasance here. There isnt even proof (outside of projections) that there is even a chance it could make a difference. In this case it is just lame *** sour grapes and if Trump had lost he would have been ripped to shreds for it.

Jill Stein's Ego cant stand the fact that people are upset with her for taking away votes from Hillary. She knew she had no chance to win, she spent the entire campaign talking about how bad the candidates were and when the worst candidate won she needed to find a way to make it look like she wasnt an opportunistic weasel who still believes 9/11 is an inside job. She doesnt like the backlash she almost assuredly gets so now she is pretending to care. She also doesnt like that she is no longer being talked about much and this is a way to stay relevant for a while. She should go away and never darken our doors again with her BS.

The deadline is probably early December for December 16 is when the Electoral College meets in the capitals of the several states.

That is still plenty of time. They can do it along with the further counting of absentee votes. (which is still going on now)

Nixon didn't whine. HHH didn't whine, Ford didn't whine. Why now?

Too many participation trophys as kids? No is a bad word? Nobody loses, even when you end up 0-18? And my generation is to blame. We parented you kids way wrong.

I am not whining...I even said the Clintons should be nowhere near this. I just think there should be uniform rules for recounts. Donald won I have said nothing else and neither should the DNC.

If independent parties want to look into it though that is their business. Short of finding hard evidence of actual tampering though it hardly registers a concern.

Hell I am more mad because Stein is using this as her "Cause DuJour" so she can play important for a few more days. Her ego is as large as her brain is empty.
