What's really weird about this is the Republican establishment rejected Trump at first partly because of his bigotry, now he can do no wrong. Why suddenly the change? What will stimulate the economy more than anything he does is people spending money but hey guys you can spend money anytime. Trump doesn't have to be President to do that. Spending always helps economies. You all will spend the money while Trump takes all the credit but please don't go into massive credit debt just because you are excited about him or it will be 2007 all over again.


Hahaha, they didn't reject him because of bigotry, they rejected him because he's spoken against the war machine and its direction.


If he does implement policy in the direction against war, against imperialism, then that would be a definite silver lining in a Trump presidency. This is an area Hillary was absolutely horrible in.

Still doesn't erase all the misogynistic and racist crap he's said and done and has yet to allow himself to be held accountable for. When I've been out and about here in Sacramento over the past few days, I've come across a lot of people of color who were really concerned about this.



Yes definitely.

He's said terrible things about women, she's killed hundreds of thousands and starved hundreds of thousands, what's worse? Tell them to ignore the mainstream/corporate media for a while.

Truth in Democracy and standing up for civil liberties in a country, much like France, has been a shining light for Democratic ideals is never ridiculous and it's shame so many people think it is. I stand for Democratic ideals and will continue to do so even when ridiculed and especially when they are under threat and encourage anyone who feels the same not to be bullied or shamed out of voicing your concerns and if you think writing electors will help in a democracy you are free to write them and you should.


By telling people what they aren't allowed to wear, going in and dismantling Libya and support for removing a democratically elected leader in Ukraine by Neo-Nazis? Right, you stand for Democratic ideals and not democratic ideals, like accepting a democratic decision even when you lose.

The media is white washing right now because Trump has made all sorts of threats about changing laws making it a lot easier to sue and win against the press, clamping down on freedom of the press and that's just phase one. Wait until he gets unlimited power after he is inaugurated. Don't be fooled by this show. If you aren't part of this elite structure that has planted itself into governments around the world, might not be easy for you.
