Jesus that’s terrifying. We’ve got to work on gerrymandering, so that votes actually count towards the rightful receiver.

He could piss on his base and tell them it’s raining and they’d put on raincoats and argue amongst themselves over whether it’s more Obama’s, Hillary’s, The Democrats’, The Liberal Elite’s, Chiyna’s, Radical Islamic Terrorists’, or Illegal Immigrants’ fault.

Sadly I deal with Trump supporters on a daily basis.

This is, amongst all the horrors, this stands out to me most.

Putin played a winning long game here.

By applying pressure towards a Trump presidency he got his wish. Hillary had enough possible baggage to be “doubted” out of character supremacy despite the reality of Trump baggage.

Of all the terrible things Trump is trying to do, the thing I find the most pressing to stop is his energetic sustained attempt to destroy the free press. God only knows what he’ll do if he manages to fuck up the press and nobody can see what he’s doing. I’m curious to know if this is something people here have been…

Supposedly Richard Nixon said the exact same thing and we all know how that turned out.

We may well be in the midst of a slow-motion coup. If you were going to try to undermine democracy in this country, you would probably start by attacking the judiciary, the free press, the intelligence agencies, and the voting system. If you can succeed in undermining public confidence in those institutions and…

Just stop.

I remember during the election so many of us said- this is fascistic, this is hitler-esque and so many on the left laughed us off saying stuff like “Oh you’re Jewish everything is Hitler to you.” Or “yeah but she’s worse” and now I just wonder how those people feel. If there is any justice in this world they can’t…

Any leader who calls a free and independent press “the enemy of the people” is an existential threat to democracy.

what was so horrible about that Democratic content that is worse, or even anywhere near the same league, of what we have now? Or are you one of those “flawed candidate” people still believing Sanders could’ve won?

Well played.

It was bad enough when Trump blatantly lied about “Draining the Swamp (GTFO! nobody’s buyin’ that shit!) and started filling his cabinet with the absolute most-estlabished shitheads he could find, now he’s trying to one-up that lie by filling his cabinet with CRIMINALS! THAT WERE FIRED FROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION…

This pretty much sums it up:

Our country is in a Catch-22. Just about any competent person wants nothing to do with this Administration. Our country deserves to have competent people, and rightly should reject incompetent candidates.

Didn’t he say during the election campaign that if he did 1/10th of what he accused Hillary of doing he would be in jail. I wonder if anyone is going to ask him if he’ll turn himself in since he’s all about being a law-abiding citizen. He’s a crook and a liar to the public and most of all to himself if he still thinks…

Everyone relax - he’s a Republican. Of course he was 100% truthful and accurate and cooperative when he told the FBI that he couldn’t recall. Why, everyone knows it’s only Democrats and people of color who aren’t “cooperative”, and they only pretend to forget things... Sigh!
