Jingthing Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If you're American, trump will indeed (tragically) be president of our nation. Doesn't mean we have to like it, doesn't mean we have to support him, doesn't mean we're compelled to not resist the movement that the demagogue baby man represents.

He just squeaked by on some VERY THIN margins in some surprise states. He has no mandate and since election he has become even more unpopular. The contest was never about the largest number of votes nationwide. As one poster said in another thread, you're accusing Trump of losing a race that never existed, that he never participated in. Your argument is similar to the situation where one team wins the Super Bowl and the fans of the other team say, "but we got more yardage." Means nothing.

He won the game by the rules. If the rules were different, he would have changed his strategy and won that too. Lets also remember he won despite the odds being stacked against him, and with a fraction of the budget. What a great day! You better get off to your safe space.

A call that he has already given in pre-inauguration day comments.. That is the normal process. This guy is not normal. He is dangerously abnormal. Why would this idiot that you lot voted into power constantly talk about his victory, months after the event and during a celebration of the peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next? Because like all bullies and blowhards, there is nothing behind the facade. He knows this and he is extremely frightened of his lack of legitimacy being exposed. Hence his irrational reaction to the popular vote issue. Hence his preoccupation with 'selling' his inauguration as the bigliest event in the history of the world. Time to get over it. Time to stop the fantasy that donald would have won any and every scenario. There was a unique coincidence of events that led to donald's unlikely and woe-begotten election. You may continue your infantile and fantastical glee but people who actually know about the electoral process reject your silly claims. Why else is donald so intent on maintaining and marketing this self image. This emperor has no clothes.

Hardly good choices which probable explains why 47-48% of the electorate chose not to vote. What is though about parties who have the word "democrat" in their title, and are usually anything but. Never accept a result unless it happens to be one that favors them. Otherwise, call the street thugs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 From the OP "His supporters admire Trump's experience in business, including as a real estate developer and reality television star, and view him as a brash problem-solver." Rubbish. Trump supporters either supported his stance on immigrants, Mexico, Obamacare etc or wanted to keep her out. I doubt many at his rallies know much if anything about his business experience. I hope the snowflakes get a short sharp reminder of reality if they actually try and stop people getting to the venue. I don't even know what they hope to achieve. IMO the ones "leading" the protests have no idea either, but they just can't get used to the idea that "democracy" won this one for someone they don't like, so they have to go out and behave like spoiled brats. BTW, all those protesters didn't get there for free, and most of them look like they aren't working, so I wonder who is paying to get them there? Anyway, with a bit of luck, there'll be U Tube vdos to show the snowflakes getting said dose of reality. Should be entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure why the Republicans are so afraid of the Ethics Office. Heck Trump even still hasn't reveal his tax returns, and in the newest interviews with reporters he still claims he can't reveal it, and that people don't care. Once the Ethics Office is curbed, the congress can stop any investigation on itself. Can Trump supporters here explain why people shouldn't be protesting against Trump and the Republicans? Protest away. It won't change ANYTHING. About his tax returns- no, supporters don't care that he didn't reveal them. They just want him sweeping Obama's "legacy" into history asap.

But people were fed up with the status quo, and the select chosen ones that the status quo benefited. The security services, from what I read, assert (assume) it was Russia who hacked and passed on info to Assange who released it. Of course it may have been someone else or multiple sources, however less convenient. I read they also said this didn't affect the election. I agree that Hilary lost because her policies were not perceived as delivering the changes people wanted. Some may have found her complacency somewhat arrogant whilst others probably genuinely didn't like the lying and cheating and glib way it was trying to be swept under the carpet. Now we shall see how Trump turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called democracy. I was on the topic of taxes and ethics. Never try to put words in your mouth, just rephrasing that you admit Trump supporters don't care if he release his taxes. Nothing about "don't care about anything". I never said the American society is wrong, don't get ahead of yourself now. All I am saying is its wrong for Republican to try to curb the Ethics Office. I would like your view on this issue. Who does that? Only crooks and criminals and those with something to hide would do something like that. Right now the Ethic Office is an independent unit, the Republicans are curbing its powers so that if there is any investigation, the congress can shoot it down and prevent it from going forward. They are also denying the Ethic Office from making public statements! Why are the Republicans so scared? This is not irrelevant BS. I didn't know holding politicians accountable or have conflict of interest would be consider as BS. Its also call democracy for people who wish to express their opposing views buddy.
