Anyone who didn't see this coming needs to wake up and smell the coffee.  The non-privilged, non-protected, non-elite Americans have had it with the PC bs and open discrimination of them.  Again, congratulations Trump!

Hey...that's my trademarked avatar.

Abortion laws need to be reconsidered. It's not enough to say, as feminists do, 'it's a woman's choice as it's her body', when another life is at stake and another parent's voice is being ignored.

Only Putin has called Trump to congratulate him. The rest are stressing about the nasty things they said about Trump in the past.

V true I expect :lol: - and I say this as someone that can't stand Trump.

The things politicians say before an election are entirely different to the things they actually do once elected.

Talking about SCOTUS picks. There is no reason not to believe his promise to pick SCOTUS picks like Scalia. Two of them and legal abortion and same sex marriage is OVER. Did you not pay attention?

The democrats only have themselves to blame, no one else !!!
Bernie Sanders would have won but there was so much corruption in the DNC, media and whitehouse that they screwed the pooch.

Not a trump fan but I look forward to the draining of the swamp. This vote was a statement to the establishment that we have had enough !!! I wonder what size of stripped uniforms Crooked Hillary and slick Willy will need for the next 20 years.

let's see how this pans out

Much as I don't like Trump - I doubt he would be stupid enough to ban abortion.

All the deplorable international leaders and politicians will be ecstatic. Our long term and DECENT allies like Merkel ... horrified.

It's OK but I like mine better.

Now that Crooked Hillary has been thoroughly defeated I won't have to change it! :smile:

Do you not understand the system? He doesn't have that power either way. He has the power to pick SCOTUS justices that DO have the power to overturn ROE vs. WADE.

It is a win for far right wing extremist bigots. It's tragic that so many Americans are OK with that. 

Sad that people continue to push the Big Lie that Trump is a bigot, or harbors bigots. 

 

Trump hired all kinds of people - men, women, all colors, and paid them according to their contributions, while Hillary paid women in her Senate office and at her foundations less than the men.

 

Trump de-segregated every club he bought - angering the local bigots, while Bill Clinton played golf at segregated clubs, locked-up record numbers for non-violent crimes, while Hillary called young blacks "superpredators" who should be "brought to heel," like dogs. 

 

Trump said he doesn't care what bathroom trans-genders want to use - try to find another Republican candidate with the guts to say that.  Even so, he got the Evangelical vote.

 

Some handful of bigots are anti-Clinton, sure.  They were set off by the antics of hard-core racist groups like "Black Lives Matter" and "La Raza" (Spanish for "the race"-  motto: "all for the race, none for the rest").  Billionaires funded both those groups to divide the common folk, so we fight with each other, instead of opposing the Transnational-Corporate serving traitors, in both major parties, who have wrecked and are wrecking our country.

 

Some things will return to state-decisions, like abortion.  All Americans are free to move to whatever state or locality they want.  It's about time that local-control of social issues became the norm - so we can stop fighting with each other for Federal power to "smash the other" with the Fed-Gov hammer.

That's what happens when you politicize your highest court. 

 

 

Can't wait for all the Hollywood elite leave the USA as promised if Donald Trump won.  Well guess what?. 

 

Also, too bad the Brits are not going to allow the President of the United States to enter their country............................Or did we forget about that one?

Bigger fish to fry boys - the email Scandal isn't going away:

So poor women in illegal abortion states can just go to back alley clinics, yeah?

Don't be naive. There has always been politics in SCOTUS picks.

You're right - I have zero knowledge about the US system.  But still doubt that anyone would be stupid enough to ban abortion in a country where many women want abortions for an unwanted pregnancy.

Abortion is not popular:

SCOTUS picks are notoriously unreliable to vote the way that those that have selected them imagine they will. You may get a little less judicial activism but OTOH maybe you won't.

Like I said, you don't understand. He PROMISED to pick Scalia like justices during a debate. He actually has a list of names and he said he will stick to that list. TWO of those, which is likely in his first term, and ROE vs. WADE is over. If you don't know what ROE vs. WADE is ... google it.

The people voted for this. He was explicit. That's what they'll get. 

With the Republicans to have control of the Presidency, Senate and House, wonder which country the Republicans will choose to go to war with...and how soon after they take power?   Maybe Mexico?   Donald wouldn't have to build his wall if he makes it the 51st state.

Having previously declared "the Yanks aren't that stupid"  I'm pleased to acknowledge I was wrong :)

I suspect groups who support abortion will set up services to bus women to states where it is, and will remain, legal.  

 

The best course of action, is not to have unprotected sex or, at the very least, use birth control.  The courts are not going to make "the pill" illegal.

 

Do some research on Margaret Sanger - especially her views on race and eugenics - before being too in love with the concept of abortion as birth control.

Expect an acid test during the senate hearings about the abortion issue.

I assume that's in the 'bible belt'?

 

Not too much of a problem as those that need an abortion can do so in another state.

 

Will Trump enforce a nationwide ban?  I doubt it despite his pre-elected rhetoric.

Trump is far less warlike than Clinton (see Syria, Libya, Yugoslavia).  Even the green-party leftist admitted this. 

 

If Trump cuts off the Transnational's proxy-army Wahabbis (who have fought for the West in many conflicts), and sides with Putin to destroy them, the world will be a safer place very quickly.

I suspect the 'yanks' were just pissed off with their politicians - same as brexit referendum vote.

“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”
