A quality post and one that most reflects the truth about this election. People that voted for Trump did so knowing he was a sexist, racist bigot that had no business being a President. In exit polls 2/3 of the people that voted for him said that they knew he was unqualified to be the President. So why vote for him you think? Well, because for all of his faults, he was a political outsider that the system fought against. This same system that has fucked the middle class American families the past 30 years while our politicians continue to allow corporations to ship jobs overseas and to evade taxes. Trump was the conservative equal to the Democratic's Bernie. He represented a change, and one that went against the system that's fucked them over. Now lets switch over to Clinton. Here we have middle class families still hurting from the banking crisis, and the one person the Dems trot out is cozy with Wall Street bankers and who supports another shitty trade pact that's going to send more jobs overseas. Not to mention the pay to play Clinton foundation while she was secretary of state, or the email fiasco, or even the rigging of the primaries against Bernie. She represented the very system they hated. This election was over the moment that Clinton was nominated. The left was just too stupid to think otherwise, and the more they countered with negative ads and media endorsements, the stronger Trump's support gained. Frankly, I've talked to too many Trump voters that flat out said they would have voted for Bernie over Trump because they thought Bernie was a decent man who also fought the system and wasn't really worried about his policies with a standing congress. Make no mistake, many Trump voters aren't happy they had to vote Trump. I voted Johnson personally.

Election Day
Quote:
No doubt. Bernie would have won in a landslide. Pretty ironic that Hillary was Trumps biggest asset getting to the White house. Oh well. He will expose his inabilities and I will sit back, eat my popcorn, and watch these Trumpeters in their "oh crap what have I done moment". I would love to say that this new regime will do a 180, but me thinks I have a better chance of finding a real live leprechaun holding a four leaf clover while riding a unicorn. |

For me, the whole idea was just flat-out stupid. In addition to the logistics, it just flat out wouldn't work.

Re: Election Day
If he made the wall big enough it could hold casinos and hotels.
The hotels could have spotting scopes on the room balconies and you could get a casino voucher for every illegal you spotted. 5 X pay on the blackjack tables. Woohoo!

I also think if we establish an existing path, then we bring harsher penalties to those who cross illegally. Actual Human traffickers are shown no mercy...they get caught and locked up immediately with no bail. Human trafficking is the scummiest of all scum. I think a stronger border is a must...maybe not a wall in all places, but defiantly a more secure border...lets use technology. Its unfortunate, but a lot of folks don't really understand what the people of texas and Arizona go through who live against the border....its bad. Not safe at all. And that's a disservice by the federal government.

Re: Election Day
Trumps 100 day action plan.
https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/_lan...ontractv02.pdf Two different items from that I copied and pasted - ★ FOURTH , begin removing the more than two million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back. End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country of Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a two-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a five-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.

Re: Election Day
International opinion. Regardless of how much the international community knows about our politics, they at least outwardly see the things he's said and done. I imagine if we just saw the highlights of someone like him elsewhere, we'd probably lose a lot of respect for those who voted him in.
EDIT: He also divided this country with a lot of hate. We've beaten that horse to death, but I've never seen Americans pitted against each other like this. Just an example from last night: where I work had a support meeting for foreign students and LGBT students. A few other students PROTESTED this meeting yelling liberal pussies to them. They see that it's OK their President can do it, so it's OK for them to do it too.

Election Day
Quote:
I would start with insulting muslims, mexicans, women, etc and than being elected potus. Minor details. Im glad people are protesting. At least the rest of the world knows that we are not all fans of his crass racist ignorant speech. Do not ever underestimate the power of words. Edit - c-red remember me accidentally flipping the bird to the old lady who was a cowboy fan? U had a problem with that kind of hate. So i guess im wondering how you could even ask the question "what kind of damage he has done"? |
