He's not Hillary Clinton.

And it's a nice middle finger to the DNC and Debby "do anything for Hillary" Wassermann schultz.

Tolerant and always classy SJW and BLM *****es at their best

Oh no! Not the flag! Because that is totally not allowed. Right?

Re: Trump support - ok, thanks. Can't say I get it, but I take note.

If I am counting right, there still might be an insult to the injury when Hillary wins the popular vote if she keeps the spread in California...

Yep, they're tied now with 40% of California and Washington and 20% of Oregon to be counted yet. 2nd time in 16 years the Republicans gamed the system

They've perfected the art now, in addition to making sure they can stay at Congress majority forever. No matter what the majority of people think, they won't leave.

I'm almost as terrified by Mike Pence, tbh. He promised to make abortion illegal. He's spoken in Congress at length against teaching evolution and for teaching creationism. If Pence becomes a major influence on Trump, even the core of the Earth won't be enough of a limiter to how low the US can fall.

 

[kurczak]

Yes, they both represent the worst on the American right. It's just different kinds of worst.

Trump has no issue with abortion becoming illegal:

27. Doctors should be punished for administering abortions - or should they? In an interview with MSNBC,
Trump said that if abortion were to become illegal, women should be punished for obtaining them.
He then retracted, saying the doctor would be responsible and he or she should be punished instead.

And there we have it. I guess we can start the countdown to the Congress proposition then?

...there's some way to block stuff like that, right?

 

[Harkon Haakonson]

I wouldn't imagine there is, it's not unconstitutional so it should be just a matter of whipping the votes in the legislative branch.

its called voting..... oops 1 day too late now, Brexit 2.0

 

[kurczak]

General ban on abortion would be unconstitutional. As long as Roe v Wade is not overruled by the new SC, that is.

[Harkon Haakonson]

I was actually talking about teaching creationism vs evolution, should have clarified.

 

[rebelknight]

How many of those Trump vote were from trolls wanting to **** things up?

 

[Austupaio]

An insignificant amount because real life is not the internet.

You serious? 



Edit: Anyone betting on Trump making an alliance with Putin?

 

[Austupaio]

The closest thing I can think of in real life is a portion of old people voting for him because it'll be entertaining, interesting or different. Closer to trolling but even then, many of these people would have or did vote for Trump for more significant reasons. For some it was probably even just a poor way of putting out there their dissatisfaction with the establishment.

Really, putting the name Clinton out there against Sanders and Trump who were popular for being different was a mistake. Many people old enough to have had careers during the last Clinton presidency just don't want to see that name again.

I guess it's time to drain the swamp, huh?

This should be interesting.
