I’m gonna give it till maybe a year into his term. He’ll probably want at least one SotU address, and some sort of “victory” to claim. Gutting ACA, curtailing reproductive rights, etc...

Exactly. I’m watching a press conference with the President right now on Facebook, and the comments really show me what his supporters want most from him in regards to LGBT rights and such, whatever he may feel on the subject. His new bosses will do what the fundies want, and he’ll go right along with it, pretty much.
Maybe Trump won’t be able to dodge treason charges.
Yup, I had forgotten about that until today. We are all fools, so why not have a racist jester acting as our nations figurehead?
This is the most frightening quote to me.
I’ve always had a problem with that thinking, too. It’s like having the hospital janitor performing heart surgery. Yeah, you’ll have a fresh set of eyes looking at the problem, but probably won’t make it through the surgery.
It’s like the difference between the Smiler and the Beast. The Beast is a monster, but at least believes in SOMETHING, and you can kind of fight against it. The Smiler is just a sociopath that sees the office as a chance to fuck with people and be adored.
The refusal to even admit that the rhetoric we’ve heard over the past year has had an effect on the dregs of society baffles me the most. You have no idea (or probably do) how many trolls I’ve had to dismiss who just reply “lie! you lie!” and what not, despite actual evidence right there in front of their faces. The…
The cops in this area can be pretty hit or miss. We also had a transgender woman’s truck set on fire and “Trump” spray painted on it, they initially didn’t want to investigate it as a hate crime, according to the local paper (Herald Citizen), but I’m hoping they man up and get on the ball with this shit. The woman who…
Yeah, police called fot sure. She’s kind of ballsy, and is basically wanting to find out who did it and beat the shit out of them herself. She seems to be calming down, and backing off the idea, fortunately.
Not politically motivated, turns out. Looks like your side still has worse monsters.
Yeah, when you’re candidate is officially “aces” with a group like them, it really is time to take a step back and rethink things.
One of the comments on her page said the exact same thing. It was good to get a bit of a chuckle from the complaint.
Back at ya. It certainly has been a wake-up call. I knew it could be bad at times, but I never expected it to suddenly go tits up like now. They’ll be left behind some day, I hope.
She moved from Illinois to TN, and this happened yesterday. Police report and insurance claims both filed. We also had this happen in our fair town the day before the election.
I’ve never been a very politically or socially active person in my life. I follow the news, vote, etc... but that’s about it. That’s changing now, though. If there’s something more I can do to help, I need to do it now.
Wonderful world sometimes, ain’t it?
Yes, yes it is legit, as in it happened.
Sadly, not Illinois. Fortunately? The girl this happened to lives in middle TN, and moved from Illinois to here.
I’m white, so I admit that I’ll probably be fine, barring a nuclear apocalypse. I am worried about everyone else our there not so lucky.
