    Friday the 20th. America gets the retarded President it badly deserves, the internet melts down in hilarious fashion, and I have a 17-day break starting at 4pm. Not sure which of those brings me the most joy.

    President Donald Trump. It has a nice ring to it. Todays a great day, against a Rothschild controlled mainstream media constantly attacking him with lies and after 2 previous bad presidents that made America worse it is now up to Trump to make America great again. Good luck to him, he is going to need it with all the obstacles put in his way.

    If he is writing his own speech does that mean it will only be 140 characters long? I don't think he is capable of much more than that, or his supporters capable of understanding that much information.

    They said I wouldn't, I did
    They said I wouldn't, I did
    They said I wouldn't be, I am
    They said I won't be a great President, I hey any more of that soda!

    :rolleyes: Well, that explains that then.


    On the plus side, he's already making such a balls of things that I suspect there will be a rush to the election booths in 2018 to overturn Congress.

    I'm looking at it like a natural forest fire. You need to burn it down every now and then to reinvigorate it. Trump will certainly do that. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like Roe v Wade being reversed when he puts his supreme court picks on the bench. then the **** will really hit the fan.

    I still struggle to understand what made the Americans think a racist misogynistic bigot, a self centered greedy business man with no real interest in politics, would be a good president.

    I suppose we should reserve judgement but I find that difficult in Trump's case.

    Are Trump supporters only able to express themselves with campaign slogans?

    I heard a trump supporter being interviewed on the radio this morning and he was asked what are his hopes from the Trump Presidency.

    'He's going to drain the swamp', 'build the wall'....Are these people not able think for themselves without quoting slogans?

    The reporter should have asked him what 'drain the swamp' actually means.

    Aye, his narcissism, complete ignorance, arrogance that leaves him with a total inability to learn, and arse-licking anyone who gushes nicely about him will absolutely be major impediments to his doing anything.


    The remarkable thing is that he could actually make America wealthy - for a short time - by gutting environmental legislation, workers rights, social welfare, medicaid and insurance and the science sectors (and journalistic protections so they can't report easily on it). The negative effects won't be immediately apparent and it will absolutely make things cheaper for the big companies. And yet, even with the open field of merely taking rights from the poorer people to let the rich keep more, he's actually still managing to fcuk it up. It's rather extraordinary. Why the hell piss off China already? Why the hell piss off second and third biggest trading partners? Why on -earth- do his best to actually damage his third biggest trading partner (Mexico). Oh, first, second AND third (EU is the first). Guess who he's encouraging to break up? His largest trading partner.

    As has been said many times throughout, you could not make this **** up.

    I love these salty liberal tears. People writing the donald off before he has even set foot in the white house. Today is the day politics changes forever and the old establishment and political mafia families crumble because of one man and his journey to make america great again. I just hope the liberal nazis dont ruin his day today and america can celebrate in peace.

    Make America Great Again vs. I'm With Her

    Or maybe I missed some other slogans the DNC pumped out that were actually about something?

    Nah, but they had these funny things called "policies". They're longer, couched in less interesting language and take actual focus to read, but in the long run, they usually cover more minutae of -how- to get things done than a slogan. "I'm With Her" was a rather odd slogan, but the thing is, they weren't relying purely on the slogan. Trump's policy is basically that slogan with no idea of how.

    I suppose the slogan is easier to communicate over Twitter though. 140 characters seems to be about the limits of some attention spans.

    I guess he means in threads like this, where we sometimes get posts like 'The Donald is the man America needs to return to greatness'. It's just slogans thrown together to make sentences.

    Maybe I'm the only one, but I sometimes find it difficult to tell if some posts like these are serious or just taking the piss.

    Having a bunch of people in cabinet who have no idea what they're doing is certainly a change alright, but not a good one. Rick Perry is the new Secretary of Energy... he knows nothing about nuclear weapons and power, he even advocated shutting down the DOE a few years ago. Amateurs.

    The weird thing is that that slogan is about all that gets announced publically as well. Trump has no fcuking clue what he's doing, which is why his announcements on how he's going to get something done is a vague platitude about how wonderful it's all going to be. It's all a bit akin to trying to figure out how to deal with your house being foreclosed by chanting repeatedly that Santy Will Fix It and then going off and repeatedly biting your next door neighbour.

    And given AbG commented on the last page that Trump is retarded and America deserves him, I suspect he is just taking the piss to annoy people. It's weird and short-sighted but people are like that on the internet.

    Yes but the campaign is over...Mr Trump is president. The time for slogans and soundbytes is over.

    I thought we should at least hear something more advanced from people about their hopes and anticipation for the direction this new president will take them.

    Ah, the liberal tears line. Is there any greater sign that a person doesn't actually pay attention to politics? Well, if nothing else, the "I told you so" will be orgasmic.

    As for writing Trump off already, it's not like people are able to gauge what comes next by his long history of mismanagement and screwing over people he's worked with, his inability to control his emotions, his childish attitude, his complete lack of political experience, his refusal to come clean about his finances and disconnect himself from his businesses which he has been promoting with his current position, his courting of neo-nazis, his picking of the worst possible candidates for political positions, his flip-flopping on his promises, his calling half the population of the US his "enemies" (in a f*cking New Years message!?!), the current actions of the GOP to remove the ACA and offer no replacement (but promising that there is a plan, it's just a secret)... and that's just eh half of it.

    But we should all give him a chance because this 70 year old man is going to change his ways from today onwards.

    It's fecking nuts, isn't it! He's just sticking the loudest voices that he knows into the big positions (and given he's only appointed 28 out of 690 apparently, he doesn't know many of them) with the apparent combined IQ of about ten normal people, and those loud voices are the dissidents that mostly want to destroy the purpose of those jobs.

    I think this whole business can be best summed up by Ben Carson. "It's...not my intention...to do anything...to benefit...any American."

    One page ago in this thread, I called him the retard America deserves and said one of the best things of today was the meltdown. You're trying to win a non-existent argument here. We're talking about slogans and i just pointed out how egotistical the Dems were.

    But yeah, I'll fire. Give me one policy change that the Democrats were known for during the election. Seriously, attacking Trump, praising Obama and jumping on some of Sanders' policies doesn't count for much. What was she bringing to the table?

    And yet I've seen far more detail in support of his policies than hers and Clinton supporters outnumbered Trump supporters like 100:1 on this site.

    Policies don't matter anyways. Everyone here hates Trump's for things he says, not his policies. You even have posters here indifferent to him being assassinated. That's how powerful the anti-Trump machine has been.

    Don't give me "everyone" based on people attacking the whitehead on the pimple rather than the pimple. The stuff he says is absolute bollockology and it is most annoying to see his followers lap it up, but there's been a lot of focus on his policies or lack thereof, at least when we can manage it between people dragging up "BUT KILLARY LOL AMIRITE".

    https://www.politiplatform.com/clinton

    I'm heading out to work in literally...right now, actually, so the link will have to do. You can have ISSUES with the policies, but **** me, at least it's not just "It'll be great, it'll be so great, we will win on healthcare (what?), we will win on jobs (no, what?) we will win so much you'll be tired of winning, believe me".

    Its funny how all the people who claim that Trump should be just given a chance were so set against Hillary. Why not give her a chance? IF past does not indicate the likely future on what basis do you judge anybody or anything?

    On that basis, giving everybody a blank canvas, how do you decide who or what to vote for?

    I am in no way a supporter of Trump, but you have to admit that a very interesting* chapter of American history is going to start today. American politics is in serious need of a overhaul, and while Donald Trump is most certainly not that politician, he might well be the catalyst for something new and hopefully better.

    *interesting in the academic sense. Personally I think it's going to be a terrible retrograde presidency.

    Is this all lifted from an alt-right phrase book or did you come up with all by yourself?
