Don't forget to vote!

The majority of voters (in a record turnout) wanted Trump, so now they've got Trump.
Turns out this was wrong on both counts: it was far from a record turnout and the popular vote went to Clinton by a large margin.

This thread is probably wrong too. It's clearly headed down the road to animosity, so let's not take it there.
 
Trump Shows Great Learning Ability!!!

Once he said that the concept of global warming was created by the Chinese.
Now he says humans somehow contribute to climate change.

I am truly impressed.
 
CAMPAIGN PROMISES DONALD TRUMP HAS BROKEN IN THE LAST 24 HOURS
haven't read it yet, but: isn't it Good if he does Not, what he was saying he'd do?

(by which I dont want to give the implication, that I'm not seeing a dark dark very dark near future for the US as well as for the whole world due to this man being your persident.

I still remember, when I first read of him: that was in the mid-80s in a German magazine about New York, where he was introduced as the guy who ruins the whole city by his buziness-behaviour. I still remember how much I hated him reading about it. Now he will go to lead a whole country (and not even a minor one) just like he made buziness back then.)

Yes it's good if he doesn't keep his promises.

But it's also bad in a way, because it could lull people into thinking, "Oh, maybe he won't be that bad..."

Everyone knows he's a liar. The problem, here in this country anyway, is the normalization of the idea of President Trump. Now that the election is over it's just more and more people who were vehemently opposed to Trump now saying, "Oh well, it is what it is," because they (probably rightfully) feel like there's nothing that can be done about it.

I'm not 100% sure that the drumpf photo is accurate. That being said, I was at Obama's first inauguration (with Strangegirl and two of my kids) and it was PACKED. The closest that you could get was a view of a jumbotron. Could not even see the capitol. I also went to Clinton's and Reagan's first (we lived near DC at the time and my mom wanted to witness history, even though we were NOT fans of his.) From what I understand, there are three times more buses reserved for the women's march tomorrow than for the coronation of the pussy-grabber-in-chief. Still, Alex Jones will lie and claim that there were 5 million people there and the tax-evader-in-chief will tweet about how it is the most people ever for an inauguration.

It took us hours of waiting to get on the train out of DC. We were surrounded by the mostly African-American's and we all had a great time waiting. No fighting, no pushing... Even the cops seemed happy. It was a SCARY amount of people to be all in one place and it was painfully cold. Well below freezing.

I saw a similar photo comparison at CNN, but the Trump side was not the same photo. The only thing that was the same about it were roughly the amount of people. You have to take into account it was boycotted and it's not like he was the first female or black president, right? He's just the nation's most ridiculous and bewildering president. Who wants to say they were there for that?

There a Women's March happening here in Halifax in solidarity. I just walked by. Pretty large crowd with some very funny/apt signs.

We ad between 10, 000 and 15,000 in little old Charlotte, NC today. The wife and kid included (she preferred not having me there.)

Pretty impressive seeing both how peaceful and how determined folks were to be heard. I was honored to march in support of all the women in my life.
 
What goes up my stovepipe sideways (at least theoretically) is that conservatives generally hold the Constitution as dear, and yet when a bunch of librells exercise the rights inherent therein, they condemn it as stupid. See, the constitutional right for protest only matters if someone actually exercises them. If no one does, then the constitutional right ceases to be relevant. This ain't rocket surgery folks.
