Trump: Officially Next President!!!

The thing is that I have never personally made any death threats against any electors, and I unequivically condemn those who did so. Beyond even the fact that a death threat is always a serious crime, in this circumstance it is also an act of treason and terrorism and should be treated very seriously. Ask any other Hillary supporter on this board and I suspect they will also condemn death threats made against electors.

But when we talk about Trumps supporters deflecting crtiticism by bringing up Clinton we are talking about the actually posters on this board. We are not asking them to take resposnsibility for the actions of others. When I say you have been deflecting criticism of Trump, I mean you. Not repulicans in general, not Trump supporters in general, and not some other random person. I mean you, the Ignorant Atheist Capitalist Engineer Libertarian. You have deflected criticism of Trump by pivoting to Clinton.

The question is are you going to continue to do this?


I'm a Libertarian and I did not support Trump and don't.

Who gives a crap if the pig is in office? He's not a political leader, and he's not leading our country anyways.

We have plenty of other leaders in office who can take descisions made in the white house by the reigns. Trump won't ever lead us because he can't, doesn't know how to.

Perhaps you & I have very different ideas about what is relevant.
Obviously so.
You and Trump's supporters don't think Trump is relevant. That's why you keep changing the subject from Trump's history and doings to Hillary and Obama as though Trump isn't the subject of the thread.

You think it's deflection, but it's not.
I've criticized Trump in many posts.
But sometimes the pro-Hillarites will criticize Trump in a way which needs countering.
Typically, they'll criticize Trump for something which is also Hillary's problem.
This needs pointing out, since elections are not about a single candidate.

No, but he could do the same things the last Republican president did. Crash the economy, ramp up the police state, start some war, and send the federal deficit through the roof.
This is especially likely since even his supporters find him irrelevant.

There is nothing contradicting about it. Obama is the president, the president is charged with appointing Supreme Court Justices. There is nothing about "lame ducks" and time remaining in office.

A lame duck isn't going to have much opportunity to get anything done outside of what he can do with executive orders... Something Trump can undo with the stroke of the pen, and I don't know why that is irrelevant to you but it is a big deal. Without Democrats having a majority or making the case there is no way Senate would approve a justice pick, and if they wanted that pick so bad they shouldn't have lost so many seats in the last four years that they could get it. It's not just that the President gets to pick the justice, it's that the Senate will confirm the pick - it requires two approvals, and it always did.

You kids are cute in your understandings of the world. I'm enjoying this. :D

Trump isn't relevant?
What an odd notion.
The guy will be president.
The thread is about this.
For better or worse, this is obviously relevant....to me, anyway.

I don't think you've been reading carefully.
The OP is about Trump becoming Prez.
I've dealt a great deal with that.
If you've some topic which you don't think I've adequately addressed,
then stop continually complaining about it, & just say what it is.
You might be surprised by getting an answer to a direct question.

Trump Won! The election is over! This is not about Hillary or the election any more. It's about the President and the unwillingness of his supporters to talk about who they got into office.

No one knows exactly what Trump will be like in office,
since he has no political record. Many tell us what he
will do, but this is hubris. They don't know.

If you criticize us (or me) for voting for him, then this necessarily
becomes about why, ie, voting against the alternative. You want
it to not be about Hillary, but this is an unreasonable demand
because voting for Trump is all about Hillary & the danger she posed.

Trump has literally had a history in leading in everything he has done. I don't think he's the smartest man around, but I think he is absolutely the best at getting the information out of other people and making them do the work. That's what his personal history largely reflects.

Like it or not he's the President... that argument is over...

Trump does have a record though. His supporters don't want to talk about it, but it's there and it doesn't bode well for the country.

Thanks! Some bad business. . . Can't be sure they're even liberals. Sound like fascists who don't accept free elections.

Most liberals are fascists, at least if we are talking in the USA. :D However, they are not fascists in the traditional "national" sense but in a religious sense. :D

Actually theres been a lot of talk about Republicans who support Democrat issues lately. You cant really forecast what bills or orders will be done or followed in the white house. Trump himself has gone back on some Presidential campaign promises including throwing Hillary in prison.
