Bottom post of the previous page:

Well most (if not all) of those racist quotes by Trump aren't actually racist. He wasn't racist against Mexicans: he only said mean things about illegal immigrants, and even recognized that some are good people. He wasn't racist against Muslims: Islam isn't a race, and even if you want to call it racism anyway, he was only talking about immigrants (again) from some unspecified middle east country. He wasn't an antisemite: his daughter is jewish, and his grandchildren are too. He wasn't racist against asians: he only attacked the Chinese on economic issues. And I don't recall him saying anything bad about black people.

>Trump hate crimes

Tangibly untrue. Every one I've seen so far has been debunked by the police as falsified reports and lies. And as anyone can tell you, Shillary supporters are absolutely assblasted and not above lying and violence to try desperately to get what they want, like toddlers.

WHERE IS YOUR MAKING YOUR AMERICA GREAT AGAIN NOW

I wouldn't trust anything anyone from the media tells you.

People like ShadowDimentio are the reason why I have trouble trusting Trump and his supporters, unfortunately.

Why tho, I'm a good boy

anyone got woody's got wood ready https://apply.ptt.gov/yourstory/

I get that several have been faked but shadow you are being willfully fucking retarded if you seriously think that not a single one has happened

Well no shit a few have probably happened. But in a country of 320 million people all of like four incidents happening or something is absolutely minuscule.

We have blindfolds but there's only like two on the whole map.

I didn't realize that Russia's situation was so desperate. If Trump plays his cards right, Russia could owe the US a huge debt of gratitude-- a Russian-American alliance could be very real.

Maybe not an alliance, but a coalition would probably happen in Syria. Like Russians going boots on the ground against ISIS while the USA helps provide air support. Of course any action against Assad will have to stop, and they'll better pull out those special forces attached to "moderate rebels" because Putin won't tolerate any more meddling from the USA except total cooperation. I can even picture him asking the Americans to bomb the same rebels they were supporting just as proof of their serious commitment.

wake up sheeple

Trump will make Russia great again

'There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.'

Yeah, sure she had the moral strength to be president of the free world

She looks so old and weak. Pathetic.

Everyone knew Clinton didn't have what it takes to be president.

It was mostly people going "Holy shit Trump is the worst" that voted for her. I guess they were hoping she would die in the first year or something

She must be under a lot of stress after all her special interests turned on her after she failed to win as promised. I wouldn't have been surprised if someone had assassinated her over it, she didn't exactly affiliate with the best sorts.

You should be more worried that she was (thankfully) thrown under the bus so soon. She'll only be brought up in regards to the record popular vote gain on Trump, as the "what could have been" once Trump destroys his promises and the trust given to him. This will keep the current dem base as they reorganize around Bernie and the like minded who understand how to court the working white middle class vote in America. The dems are going to turn into the boogeyman the republicans painted them as for the last 8 years. It's going to go in reverse and I don't even care anymore, that shit works.

Maybe this was the plan all along?

CRASHING THIS COUNTRY

if you lost an election to a racism-inflated pumpkin with a wig you'd want to curl up on the couch too

the non president is just chillin'

"HRRRGHHHDRRRR WEAKNESS REEEEE" ~a couch potato

Trump settled the Trump University case with a 25m concession in spite of how much he hates giving up. Makes sense to me, he's gonna be president, he doesn't have time to be fucking around in the courts.

what if mike pence was gay

given the track record of strident anti-gay campaigners being caught "peeing with a wide stance" it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest

She's had so many people assassinated that she didn't even notice she was signing her own death warrant.

I recently came to a depressing yet insightful realization that, to my mind, explains much of the 2016 election.

Even in this election, only 55% of eligible voters voted. That means 45% of them didn't vote.

Statistically, if you are a democrat or republican political candidate, of those 45% of non-voters, a bit less than half of them nominally support you but don't give enough of a shit to actually vote. That's around 20% of the population that is on your side, but not enough to get out of bed.

So which sounds like the better option: Go after the ~22.5% of the population that supports your opponent and votes, probably more than half of which you have no chance of winning over, or try to get the 20% of the population that supports you but won't vote to get their ass to the polls?

Obviously the second one's the better strategy. But that means there's no incentive to engage with your opponent's arguments about policy or hold political discourse with them, because those things target the people who support your opponent that you're better off ignoring. Even worse, debate of this nature requires you acknowledge that your opponent is reasonable enough to engage in a proper discussion of the issues, which is directly opposed to what should be your primary goal- pretend your opponents or what they represent are so terrifying you scare your nonvoting supporters into going to the polls. Any engagement with your opponent beyond calling them a racist hatemonger or a murderous corporate shill is not only unproductive, but actively disincentivized. So we won't get a more productive political discourse until we start voting... but we won't start voting until we get a productive political discourse.

That is political science 101, literally one of the first things you learn: A first past the post voting system creates an inevitable two party system where moderates and the apathetic are courted by fear.

This.a big raisin hitlery didn't win. News reported the "voting bloc" that showed up for Obama didn't show up for her. I.e. the black people who don't usually bother to vote did for Obama but did not for hill

Bet if Hillary was black they would've come out to vote for her, because niggas be racist yo.

Just watched this thing on isis
There a bunch of dicks.
just nuke them from orbit
its the only way to be sure

Muslim immigration ban vanished off Trump's website.
KEK.
Over 50 million people just got conned at once.

[youtube]Usb2FEfzfRM[/youtube]

Here's my prediction that nobody asked for.
There isn't going to be a wall.
There aren't going to be immigration bans.
He already backpedaled on those before he won.
Trumps just going to get rid of Obama care, slap his name on it, put it back, and pretend he made it better. And people will probably believe that.
Russia is going to have fun in Europe for the next four years, seeing as how in an incredibly strange turn of events, so called "patriots" want to befriend communists. Never thought I'd see the day.
If taxes really get reduced to 15%, the US is going to go flat fucking broke. Best case scenario, we go back to the pre-Obama economy, which was still terrible but I'll take what we can get. Worst case scenario, we're looking at another depression.
I doubt that the income from countries that will pay the US for protection will be able to cover the loss. Seeing as how, globally, countries are already moving to become more independent from the US. Making them pay for protection? That'll just make them try that even harder.

Hey, remember that other time we voted in a TV celebrity? I think his name was Reagan. Anywho, he was a terrible president, but because he "ended" the Cold War (It was either already over, or its still going on today.) apparently he did a good job.

(You)

It's an assessment I like, therefore he's right.

Those countries can't be "independent", they can only be in another power's sphere of influence. And which power are they gonna run to? Russia and US will just double tag them, Russia threatens and US offers protection, for a hefty charge of course, and the other way around for middle eastern countries. It will be like the mob racketeering but on a global scale. As a European, that's the thing that scares me most about the Trump presidency
