Random Political comments...

There is danger in Trump. He’s a man with authoritarian impulses, a conspiracy theorist’s bent, and a taste for vengeance. He has an alarming temperament, little impulse control, and less decency. He has a demagogue’s instinct for finding enemies and a bully’s instinct for finding their weaknesses. He is uninterested in policy, unrestrained by shame, and unbound by norms. He surrounds himself with sycophants and enablers, and he believes both the facts and the falsehoods he finds congenial.
...
Now we see how strong the American system really is.

At least we dodged open-Border Merkel's U.S sister.

"Hillary sold me some of America's Uranium...what can you give me?"
"I can give you some ISIS refugees"
"No no, send them to your sister. We good."

**********

* Ps: "..Nearly half of Germans say Angela Merkel's 'welcome' policy is wrong

Even moderates are accusing the German Chancellor of going too far, too fast with refugees, the ‘welcome culture’ is evaporating and border transit camps are planned to send back unwanted migrants.."

LOL, I don't think you could spot a would be dictator heading towards you Bliss unless he made you kiss his ring.

'I know you are but what am I' isn't really a clear rebuttal to Ezra Klein's editorial, of which I only posted a paragraph.

HRC is out of the picture. Time to deal with the reality at hand, and that's TRUMP.

Either you believe Trump was bluffing his way through the primaries and general election, saying whatever he had to say to get elected, or you believe he gave us a window into his character.

The man personally insulted everyone onstage with him during the GOP primaries and proved himself to be extremely thin skinned with his Twitter rants.

At some point even you as a conservative need to take a long hard look at Donald Trump and try to figure out who he is.

As it stands, Trump ripped off Bernie Sanders platform during the primaries and pretended to be a populist.
If the man is just an empty suit and has his own agenda that none of us really knows yet, that's scary.
 
It's been quite interesting reading peoples' responses to what happened this morning.

I worked as an election judge yesterday because an extra $225 couldn't hurt and because I needed the distraction. I woke up at 4:00 a.m. yesterday morning and didn't get to sleep until 1:00 a.m. today because I was watching election coverage.

To Hillary supporters, I'm sorry for your loss. If it's any consolation, Hillary won the tiny precinct I worked: Clinton 195, Trump 131, Johnson 16, Stein 7.

Now, can we please move forward as a nation?

I'm now speaking directly to TDK.

TDK, please press play on the below youtube video and read carefully.

[YOUTUBE]wGKIjh9skYw[/YOUTUBE]

Now close your eyes, take long deep breaths, imagine my fingers massaging your temples, and slowly count to 10.

It will be okay. There will be no death camps. Gay marriage is not going away. Abortion is not going away. There will be no nuclear war.

The country will continue to run. The country will survive. And what you should take comfort in is the fact that now that Hillary isn't President-Elect, we aren't going to war against Russia!

That thought is a great comfort to me.

And now, TDK, practice what you've been preaching...go out, campaign for your local politicians, city council members, alderpeople, etc. who represent your values. Get involved. Encourage others to get involved.

And most importantly, never accept corruption in your elected officials. Corruption doesn't translate to helping the regular people. It translates to more money in the pockets of politicians and less money for us.

And now I speak to everyone, let's hope that the DNC does some serious reflection on what happened and start ridding themselves of corrupt individuals (getting rid of Brazile would be a great start) and putting their weight and strength behind truly progressive politicians who will once again truly work for us, the American people.

Let's all put our differences aside and work together now. We need unity now more than ever.

So easy to say when it's not you or your loved ones on the chopping block. He won on hate the fucking KKK cheered his victory. If you had even the slightest bit of awareness you'd see what this country has been like for non white people for years. Death with zero accountability and that was under the black president who didn't openly encourage it.
Book keep your horseshit to yourself I'm not interested.

This is gonna be like the Ronnie Raygun 1980s that produced NWA and Public Enemy.
A Trump led DOJ is simply not going to investigate and prosecute cops and 'righteous' White folks for violence against Black folk and police brutality.

For real, be smart about where you hang out and where you go, Trump just gave law enforcement a green light to go rogue and no one is going to do a damn thing about it.

What did Obama do about it?

Yes he can you'll see when we're in war with Iran and our market crashes with no hope of recovery. They dont believe in regulation nor give a single fuck about working class people. It's a wrap lights out

And Hillary believed in regulating Wall Street? You're butt hurt because a warmongering corporate and Wall Street shill didn't win?

Why don't YOU wake up and see what YOUR candidate was trying to do: sounding the war drums against Russia, advocating a no fly zone in Syria, advocating for getting rid of Assad which will only make things worse in the ME.

Go fuck yourself, TDK. Her foreign policy was disastrous as SoS and would continue to be disastrous. She's a pias poor decision maker.

I was trying to be respectful of your feelings today, but fuck that.

You're a complete asshole.

And so it begins with the white supremacy.

Why do you want death upon an innocent animal? There is plenty of non-murdered food to sustain you. Why must an animal have his/her throat slit or a bullet in their head or boiled alive because you "like" the taste of their dead flesh?
Where is your compassion? Are you not sympathetic?

Natural order of the food chain. The strongest eat the weak. I feel no shame in doing so.
