Barron seems like the only trump I could sit down with, smoke a joint and sip a whiskey sour without punching them in the neck.
Yes, you do. You emphatically do. The point of a democracy is to vote for who you want to represent you. Even in Michigan, the closest state this time, the difference was 10,000+ votes. Each individual vote is symbolic. I chose not to send a symbolic message that I want Hillary Clinton, a centrist war mongering liar whose only interest is power for power's sake to be president. I sent that same message in the primaries where I and other Michigan voters helped Bernie Sanders to a historic upset.
The Democratic party chose not to heed those lessons nor pay any attention to her unprecedented unfavorables and rigged the primary in her favor. She chose not to campaign in the rust belt states or offer anything to the disaffected people here. Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party are not entitled to my vote, they have to earn it and they failed to do so. I didn't go around campaigning for people not to vote or whatever. I simply voted my conscience. The only way you'll get me to feel bad about it is if he won by 1 vote. But the presidential election wasn't decided by 1 vote and it never will be. Individual voting is symbolic and people should vote for what they believe in. Maybe then we might be able to vote for an actual liberal.
Yet what actions you take upon seeing the facts is very much related to you political opinion.
Meaning, the same facts can indeed be - and usually are - supportive of different sides of an argument.
That's the very essence of different political views.
Not laughing now are you bitches?
President Donald Trump signs an executive order for a wall to be built along the southern US border with Mexico

I voted because I'm pragmatic to a fault but I agree with Eboue.
Your vote is your right. You and people like you succeeded in sending a message to Democratic party.
It also enabled a Trump win. It's fine telling the Democratic party to find the candidate that suits all of you, but good luck with the next 4/8 years. In the end, it boiled down to one party voting pragmatically and the other needing the party to find a good candidate.

Quick, let's find a publicly traded company that is involved in wall constructions and buy some shares.A true man of his word.Not laughing now are you bitches?

I bet Trump has bought them all already.
Netherlands like a boss.
I'll consider trying to not feel schadenfreude wehen they miss the next major football tournament.
There you go

Didn't he give the concrete contracts on his nyc skyscrapers to mafia companies...
I'm guessing a concrete wall (well concrete plus the remains of any fake news journos who speak out and muslims / Mexicans)
The Kushner family donated 8.5 Million according to the article. I'm more concerned about their partiality.
Want something ironic? One of the best positioned cement companies to provide for such a project is Cemex... Mexican.
There was a good investigation about donations by such companies to (both) campaigns.
But it's not quite a "your people" situation. There wasn't a neverhillary campaign. Some people just couldn't in good conscience vote for someone who doesn't represent them.
Internet censorship?
No, it didn't. There's plenty of stuff to legitimately get pissed about, rigging isn't one of them.
How about 'unfair advantages given by certain elements of the dnc' then?
But the only thing that was ever going to cause is President Trump.
They were unquestionably biased in her favour and were dicks to Bernie.
Nope, my vote didn't cause anything. She lost by ten thousand.
Because I have a predisposition to dislike socialists, I'm blaming Bernie for Trump. Look out for "MTF's History of America", Chapter 13 in the future. "A socialist seriously thought he might become POTUS, but all that resulted was a populist. Don't trust socialists."
Ironic that Trump supporters were saying that Hillary would have been the one to control the Internet started by Obama
It is a high price for good conscience to pay when you inadvertently end up enabling Trump with an agenda that may be harmful for all of us for sometime, and when you consider the SC judges appointment and re-districting, probably decades. Again, I admire your values, but the pragmatic side in me thinks you've cut your nose to spite your face.
It is the most striking aspect of this election for me. Religious votes ideally should go for the candidate with high moral values as necessitated by their religious belief. That bloc voted pragmatically for the Supreme court factor.
Evangelicals in this country have been hypocrites longer than most politicians. They are the perfect example of 'a means to an end' - values be damned.
The ban in stupid (not least because, if he's going to be consistent in terms of what he's supposedly trying to achieve then Saudi Arabia and Pakistan belong on the list) and illiberal, but the countries covered only include a small minority of the world's Muslims.
Yes $8.5 million to Israeli institutions as a whole, but with only $58,500 of that going to institutions beyond the Green Line, i.e. in the West Bank - it's a minuscule amount.
Also, of that $8.5 million it looks like most of it has gone to hospitals such as Shaare Zedek in Jerusalem which, like all hospitals in Israel, both treat and are staffed by Jews and Arabs alike (see here for an article on Shaare Zedek - https://www.google.ie/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/shaare-zedek-the-hospital-where-israeli-and-arab-doctors-are-working-together-to-save-lives-a7458466.html?amp?client=safari)
So it's probably reasonable to conclude that the Kushners' money has done more to help Arabs in Israel than most, and almost certainly more than anyone criticizing them for these donations. This is not to deny their Zionism or the problems with the son's suitability and probable partiality in his new role.
Evangelicals in this country have been hypocrites longer than most politicians. They are the perfect example of 'a means to an end' - values be damned.
Agreed. I would also say that there is a decent base of left leaning evangelicals too. All methodist churches in Connecticut were strongly anti Trump.
My favourite poll result relating to that:Evangelicals in this country have been hypocrites longer than most politicians. They are the perfect example of 'a means to an end' - values be damned.
Well no, because the facts remain factual.
How you choose to present them doesn't take away the fact that they are still facts, or make them any less true.
Skewing facts to suit your viewpoint is the essence of politics.
My favourite poll result relating to that:
Wonder how much is Trump leaning and Clinton leaning in that poll.
Racist bunch.My favourite poll result relating to that:
They aren't even trying to camouflage their intent here.
He is going to annoy so many people, in fact make them hate him, that someone is going to take a potshot at him.
This was brought up in a HuffPo article a couple of days ago, but he hasn't figured out yet to ask people to be seated when he arrives to deliver a speech for a government crowd. He did it at the CIA, and right now at DHS.
