Trumped 202

[lgna69xxx]

Oh c'mon Doc, now you are just being silly, you know as well as I do with 4700 people to appoint in new postitions under PRESIDENT Trump, that many will be from the Republican "insiders", they have to be unless you think PRESIDENT Trump is going to appoint you or me or any board memebr. I would love for him to give former member 'merlow' a job so he could tell him the inevitable (and likely within 24 hours)

Indeed. It was the safe pick. But so much for Trump and his claims of being a 'Washington outsider'. Reince Priebus is the classic Washington insider having long worked with the establishment. Many of the cabinet posts will be held by DC insiders also.

 

[Doc Holliday]

I agree with drain the swamp but believe it or not Priebus might actually be a good guy to help drain out the swamp. To drain the swamp you need a guy who knows the swamp.

You can't 'drain the swamp' when you surround yourself with lobbyists & long-time DC establishment politicians. It's also going to be impossible to 'drain' considering the GOP owns both Houses, where the majority of its representatives are a symbol of the same Washington 'swamp'. In other words, the GOP are not going to slash their own throats just to please Donald Trump and Stephen Bannon.

If the voters really wanted the 'swamp' to be 'drained', they would have started by voting out every single incompetent GOP congressman. They have had the lowest approval ratings in the history of the country for the past few years, yet they keep getting re-elected. So go figure.

As a holder of a bachelor's degree specialized in Canadian history, i would like to simply point out that the large majority of Canadians would be considered 'liberals' or 'leftists' from an American perspective.

My sister in law's late mother was a high level Republican.
She once told me the USA would never annex Canada because us Canadians would be a bad influence on other right-thinking Americans.

I agree. Where's the incentive? Preibus would have to screw many of his pals who he needs to help keep Trump in line and get things done the way the real Party bosses want it done. If he drained the swamp he'd be cutting much of his political leverage by getting rid of those who help him maintain his and the Republicans position of leverage. After draining it Preibus would be surrounded by Trumpervs beholden to him not the Republican Party. How long would it be then for bye bye Preibus.

....right-thinking Americans.

A funny but dangerous term alluding to the idea there's only one RIGHT line of thought...ie...dictatorship.

And BTW: The Republicans would be wise to keep perspective about this past election. The number of votes Trumperv got were between that of McCain and Romney, two who lost. In other words they didn't gain anything, especially a mandate. It was Clinton who lost 6 million votes, and that basicially decided the election.

Even without all this knowledge we are able to realize that the US came up with probably the worst two presidential candidates in their history..
If with all this history and knowledge the best they can come up with is Trump and Hillary then it is maybe time to change history.
All these precautions are maybe not working so well after all.

The founding fathers also foresaw that the best men would not always be elected president. So they severely limited the powers of the president and wrote a series of checks and balances into the Constitution. Try reading it sometime and you will see.

Thanks to the limits on the powers of the president, Obama was stopped by Congress from implementing many of his policies. He was arrogant and aloof towards his political opponents and he lacked the ability to reach a consensus with his opponents, so he accomplished very little in domestic affairs during his last six years in office. He issued lots of executive orders but many of these will be overturned by Trump.

Even though Trump will have the advantage of a Republican House and Senate, he also needs to remember that the president's real power lies in his ability to compromise and build consensus (with both Republicans and Democrats). Good presidents such as Reagan and Clinton were successful because of their ability to find agreement with their opponents and pass legislation that had broad support. I am hopeful that Trump's experience as a deal maker will lead him in the direction of getting things done by making good policy deals with Congress and its leaders.

 

[CaptRenault]

..I feel absolutely comfortable being referred to as a 'liberal' or a 'leftist' since i'm part of the large majority of Canadians.

And that's the biggest problem with Canada.

 

[EagerBeaver]

A lot of people are forgetting Trump's history which is that he has been far more liberal and moderate than what's been suggested by his various statements during the campaign and he has in the past donated heavily to Democrats including the Clintons! So it would not at all surprise me if he is more effective at obtaining compromises than Obama was. Obama was a tad arrogant but that is what a Harvard education does to you and we see this also with Cruz. Who wouldn't be able to compromise on anything either.

Pitiful group of young adults we have about to take over, better start with the kumbyia ( spelled wrong ) chants and give more trophies for coming in last.

They were all very smart men especially Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and if you noticed their faces are on the nickel and the $100 bill. There is a reason why.

Just caught the last few minutes of the 60 minutes interview with the new First Family and boy oh boy do the ladies look incredible. Royalty definately agrees with them :thumb:

 

[lgna69xxx]

I think before Trump leaves office you will (as well as millions more) see he was a good leader if not better. He is exactly what the USA needed at this time. I mean he can't be any worse than oBama lol.

BTW, only half the country was laughing, the other half delivered the biggest BITCH SLAP (literally) heard round the world

Even without all this knowledge we are able to realize that the US came up with probably the worst two presidential candidates in their history, who both ran the dirtiest campaigns ever.
This whole campaign was an ongoing reality show

The the idea Trumpervert is doing anything different in planning to deport millions of illegal immigrants is a condition of gross ignorance and political rhetoric. G.W. Bush deported about 2 million in his 8 years. President Obama has deported about 2 1/2 million in 7 years, and the official count for 2016 is not included. Estimates are deportations will reach 3.2 million total by the end of his term.

You're right. A habitual molesting sociopath versus madame dirty baggage train. In Clinton's case I guess she was the heir apparent so to speak, when she should not have been. That's awful enough. But for Republicans there were 16 other candidates and they still picked that fosse de merde (shit pit) from so many others. Talk about diving for the bottom.

It's funny in a mind-numbing way really. Romney only mentioned writing off 47% of voters making him look like an out of touch rich guy. Trumpervert was caught almost daily insulting people personally, claimed he could get away with molesting women, and using every kind of bigoted label there is except the "N-word". It's like our standards fell of the charts further than the stock market crash in 1929, and it makes what Romney said look like a tiny annoying tickle at most.

As far as First Lady's go, is there anyone even close to Melania as far as hottest first lady of all time? Anyone remotely close? Who would look as good as her in a bikini at the time they spent in the white house?

Doc if you say Barbara Bush I swear I will uke:

I saw it too, now there is something we can definitely agree on, they rock, absolutely gorgeous.

 

[westwoody]

Hot? Eleanor Roosevelt baby! Rawr.

She didn't need no Botox.

Some humor relief, was going to put in the joke section but this is a better target audience..

ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM TRUMP ACCEPTANCE RESISTANCE DISORDER (TARD)?

Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is a pattern of pathologically dissociative and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time. Sufferers of Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of rage, uncontrollable crying, suicidal ideation, and extreme sadness. READ MORE: http://www.disclose.tv/news/are_you_suffering_from_trump_acceptance_resistance_disorder_tard/136500

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: People with Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder are characterized by a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again. Individual sufferers often display signs of paranoia and delusion; in acute cases psychotic episodes have been observed. Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is different from being upset about the results of the 2016 presidential election; People with TARD are unwilling or unable to accept reality, despite irrefutable evidence. According to the DSM-V, individuals with TARD exhibit most or all of the following symptoms: - Telling others they are moving to Canada - Fixated on fantasies about the Electoral College READ MORE: http://www.disclose.tv/news/are_you_suffering_from_trump_acceptance_resistance_disorder_tard/136500
- Protesting an election no credible source contests the outcome of - Exclamations that “Someone” should do “Something” - Acute change in demeanor from pompous and arrogant to fearful and combative - Claim that anyone who disagrees with them is some combination of Racist, Sexist, Bigoted, Homophobic, and actually some sort of Hitler persona READ MORE: http://www.disclose.tv/news/are_you_suffering_from_trump_acceptance_resistance_disorder_tard/136500

CAUSES AND MECHANISMS: Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder was directly caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. For many, both in America and worldwide, this was a shocking and unexpected outcome; their preferred news sources having failed to inform them that the alternative candidate was a criminal parasite in such ill health she got chucked into the back of a van like a kidnap victim. Research is ongoing, but TARD appears to correlate closely with the following environmental and behavioral factors: - Membership in the Democratic party - Identifying as a Feminist - Currently enrolled in college, and/or - Possession of a Liberal Arts college degree - Cuckoldry - Living in a densely populated metropolitan area - Massive student debt - Spotty or non-existent work history - Hipsterism READ MORE: http://www.disclose.tv/news/are_you_suffering_from_trump_acceptance_resistance_disorder_tard/136500

DIAGNOSIS: Diagnosis of Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is straightforward. Ask the patient if Donald Trump is going to be the Next President of the United States of America. Some patients will become agitated, and may attempt to deflect. It’s critical you press them on the issue, even if they start babbling about ‘muh triggers’. A sufferer of TARD will begin to ramble incoherently, often displaying three or more of the symptoms within a short period of time. READ MORE: http://www.disclose.tv/news/are_you_suffering_from_trump_acceptance_resistance_disorder_tard/136500

TREATMENT: The only known effective treatment is exposure therapy. The patient must be repeatedly exposed to reality, and should wear a Make America Great Again hat as long as they are able to tolerate it. Each exposure should increase in length, after a week the patient should be encouraged to be seen in public wearing the MAGA hat. Coach the patient to refer to Donald Trump as President-Elect Trump. Patients with TARD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups. Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality. Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement. If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TARD, urge them to seek treatment.
