Trump might be voted president on Dec. 19th by 538 elite Electoral College voters overturning the will of the peoplel, but many are having serious second thoughts. Electors take anti-Trump battle to court - POLITICO Trump is not President yet. |

"His Orangeness" for the win. 45 years ago I was hearing the same sort of shit. Ancient people were probably making shit-balls and tossing them at Hammurabi (the law giver -- not that ape). Get the fuck over it :2 cents: |

Because I dont bow to your superior intellect ? Gee I'll try harder to follow next time Mam. And lets just try and indulge your rantings for a moment. So Democrats made Trumpy President right ? No thats horseshit. No mark Mr Angry types like you lapped up his devisive bile. Trump knows how to twist Mr Averge White guys buttons, and y'll lapped it up. Now you are running around serving up your post election guilt, blaming democrats because you fuckwits are getting the President that you deserve. Do you still want to build a wall and blame the Chinese because Americans dont want to work in a dangerous shithole sweatshop for $10 a day ? The media just play whatever turns their audience on, the audience decides what is newsworthy, and if it happens to be the latest Trump outburst, or it happens to be the FBI rooting through Hillarys knicker drawer, then that is what news outlets will serve up. So fuck you Mr Angry white guy - you got your guy in the White House, now we all have to live with it. And despite your walls of text I have absolutely no idea why the fuck you think the rest of us should have converted to the madness. |
Again dumbass, Democrats had already lost the House and The Senate well before Trump became President. Democrats drove the Democrat bus right off a political cliff.... and then tried to get a criminal who was well known to not be trusted even by her own party as poll after poll after poll showed, as President.
Your not even intelligent enough to understand that I don't support Trump at all. I simply support your constant hand wringing and squirming and acting out like children because its amusing. By the way, nice job making it racial as well. That is another reason Democrats are not controlling any of the 3 branches of government. |

The election is decided by the electoral college. It is highly unlikely the electoral college will not vote for Trump. In the event it goes to the Senate, well, that's a done deal too. If I recall correctly there are 100 seats in the Senate, 54 of which are Republican. As much as this pains me to say, you need to accept this is over. Relax. Take a valium and invest in a nice new TV. This will fun to watch. |

Two of those have absolutely ZERO to do with Trump and in addition to that, there are more Republicans elected on the state level than ever in the history of their party. Also, ZERO to do with Trump. Democrats have lost much much much more than just the White House since Obama has been President. Trump is not the cause of anything.... he's the symptom of actual problems... .which people want to deny. |

To be honest I dont care who you support, I just disagree with you. You dont deal with that very well. I disagree with the whole premise that Joe Average is somehow suffering worse than he ever did, and the pesky politicians have let him down by not fixing it. This is such a crock of shite. The poor have always been poor and the average will remain so. If average Joe does not educate himself and find some skills that are in demand then he is fucked. Average Joe needs to get out of his pickup and learn to code. Ex coal miners need to re train in industries that are thriving. Car plant workers need to ask themselves why the Germans and the Japanese build a better more aspirational car. And now unfortunately, truck drivers and cab drivers are about to go the same way when automation takes their jobs. Politicians have not failed these people, unless of course you think we should dig coal even if other fuels are cheaper and cleaner, that everyone should drive a shitheap car, and that their should be laws against automation. Society changes - people have to change. The state does its best to help, no one starves, everyone gets a basic education, but if you dont take responsibility for your own future, then I am sorry an immigrant or a foreign worker might do your job for less money, but more than likely it will be a machine that puts you out of work. Are we really saying we want big government spoon feeding us ? |

This does not mean there is a republican mandate running through America right now. The Republicans backed into this victory. They actually lost seats in both the House and Senate, but were able to barely hold onto them. The problem is that both parties are very similar and the pattern shows that when one wins it invigorates the other and they turn out to vote while the followers of the party in power often assume they have it locked down and are less enthusiastic. |

However, i would suggest that just as in how our brain makes decisions (a team of rivals framework - where often 1000s competing "arguments" take place where you're only consciously aware of the top 1 or 2 or 3), so do we as a society. We function from a survival standpoint as a team of rivals. This is an evolutionary trait and the direct product of group selection. For the best decision to be reached for the group as a whole, there must be argument. A decision without argument leads to mass extinction when no one raises their hand to question as the group is threatened. For people to argue effectively, they must see things in very different ways and also fall prey to the illusion/belief that there is no other way to see it and that any other view is wrong... leading to disbelief and incredulity that anyone could even have a different opinion. I am actually just super fascinated with the psychological aspects of this, of us of as as groups and as individuals. We all cling to narratives which fit our view and tend to defend them fiercely irregardless of the facts. We hear / see something we want to believe and begin searching for reasons to believe it... we hear / see something we don't want to believe and begin searching for reasons to disprove it. This election is funny because it pushes peoples buttons more than usual. A sad thing is the divisiveness of the nation now. To me, (my opinion) Obama marked the beginning of political courtesy coming to an end and the beginning of a President only representing only 1/2 of the country. In years past such as those you mentioned, there was a great deal of courtesy and etiquette in addressing the other party using polite euphemisms such as "my colleagues across the aisle" etc. That was all replaced by Obama by direct attacks on "Republicans" and constantly using the word "Republicans" non stop as he vilified them... forgetting they also represent 1/2 of the people he is supposed to represent in this country. This has pushed the tribal behaviors, the hysteria, the continual parroting of fake narratives and ignoring any facts which speak to a view one doesn't agree with into overdrive. I feel this nation is more divided than its ever been in my lifetime ( i wasn't alive in the 60's or before) and the choice between Presidents being a hardened criminal who has nothing but contempt for the system, the law and the people and a narcissistic shithead reality tv star who needs to be banned from twitter. This election should be a wake up call for a nation.. Not for democrats. Not for republicans. For everyone. but its not. It's just a new chance to push the "my team = good", "your team = bad" rhetoric into a new gear we haven't experienced yet, ANd its happening so much so, that issues and positions aren't even the focus anymore. We are all (as a society) just as bad as the media on a 24hr news cycle talking about nothing all day long.... while again we are not even really paying attention to the facts and issues but rather stupid sideshow shit. |

That said, I think the road to getting here was a two-way street. Yes, Obama held the Republicans at arm's length, but it all started with them filibustering anything and everything he tried to do. They played the role of obstructionist and it worked because two years later they took back the House. I have a feeling we are about to see the same thing from the Democrats. The thing is, people are now doing a strange thing. They bitch and complain about our leaders, but continue to vote for them and re-elect them and now with the level of divisiveness, they are emulating them. It is like watching a kid throw a tantrum and his mom gives him candy to make him stop so then adults started doing the same. We saw it in spades this election. Don't like Trump, you are a cuck or a Libertard. Don't like Clinton, you're a racist or a mysoginist. It's freaking crazy. |

My favorite moment involving her was one year at Thanksgiving we all finish eating and some people are in one room watching football and others go into another room to watch a movie. We start flipping through the channels and we happen across the movie Seven. Someone jokes about it being a happy holiday movie. She says it is disgusting and should be banned. We tell her we were joking about watching it and switch the channel. She continues to go off about how movies like that should be banned. I point out that just because she doesn't like it doesn't mean it should be banned. She loves riding horses, I think that is a waste of time and money, but I don't think it should be banned. We debate this for a few minutes and then she said, "Well, if it were up to me, there would be no movies like this!" I said, "Well, I'm glad that is why we normally don't let crazy people be in charge." Even her husband laughed. She stomped out of the room and spent the next hour in the next room explaining to them why movies like Seven should be banned. This was several years ago. She will still occasionally comment on it. The last time I saw her was last year at Christmas when my brother had a bunch of people over and she was there to see his kids. She said something like, "Watch any movies that should be banned lately?" |
whiny cunts! how can they not accept the will of the people? the result of the election was clearly an indictment of the incumbent. fucking crybabies!

The people who fund Presidential and politicians elections were on a gravy train ride. They tell politicians what to do. Trump is your only chance to break the hold of the big donors over your life. When the next elections come around in your area, Google who controls the candidates. The voters aren't in the list. The UK has the same problem. The referendum on EU membership was won by the Leave camp. Now the Remain Camp, which most MPs are in, now want to make sure the UK can't leave. |

Google who controls the candidates? You mean people like Trump? You mean the people who buy and sell candidates? Trump said it himself that he bought and sold candidates during the campaign. Trump has no experience in government and how it works, and he won't be able to get things done. Anything he does get done will most likely benefit big businesses and not the average worker. Business as usual - the rich get richer. |

I employ 7 full time coders, no degree of any sort between them. But that was not the point - low skilled uneducated persons are going to find life increasingly tough. So you can sit in small town rust belt USA whining and voting for populist arseholes who tell you its all the fault of pesky foreigners and feckless corrupt politicians, or you can wake up and see that Apple and Google dont give a shit about you. They are going to spend their huge ill-gotten cash reserves making more machines to make you even more unemployable. But dont worry, at least they have encrypted your phone so that the FBI cannot spy on you ! |
