Trump: Officially Next President!!!

[Riders]

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.
Tom

YIKES I HOPE NOT!

 

[columbus]

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

But his supporters keep going back to the election.
Tom

 

[Revoltingest]

It's the Trump supporters who won't talk about him. When I bring up his lies about his taxes all I hear is "So what? I don't care."
Tom

I don't see how his tax return has any significance.
It matters to you, but you give no reason it should matter to me.
If you knew what was in it, this wouldn't change anything.

 

[Revoltingest]

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.
Tom

Instead of complaining about what we supposedly won't address,
why not bring up the topic? I don't know what it is you're missing.

 

[Riders]

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...

He is the President theres no argument, and he has lead yes. But hes no political leader, what experience does he have in politics????????????????????


He is the President and I accept that. As I said hes not our only leader, we have just as many other leaders tons of leaders in office. I have faith in them so I'm not worried about Trump. There is no argument here, what argument is over?

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

Actually, most dogs are cats, but not in the traditional "feline" sense but in a purple sense.

Trump made a promise to release his tax returns. That was one way he could demonstrate that he has the business sense of a goose.
He didn't, he just lied about doing so.
For all anybody knows, he is under water financially and is being propped up by Putin.
So I am stuck with a president whose only demonstrable credential is his success as a reality TV star. He is great at manipulating the media, and low information voters. What else does he have?
Tom

 

[Revoltingest]

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

The best term is "illiberal liberal".

This appears to bother you a lot.
It doesn't matter to me.
This doesn't mean I'm not addressing it.
I just find it utterly irrelevant, both before the election & after it.

If the extremophiles on each had their way, we'd have everlasting hearings on the Benghazi deaths & Trump's tax returns.
Neither matter to me.
You might think they should.
But this will not change.

 

[Neo Deist]

Yes you did.
You dodged me and what I posted.
Tom

I'll bite...

I just went back through the thread. You never said a specific point you wanted to talk about. Instead, you just kept on and on about "Trump supporters are deflecting..." and left it at that. What would you like to talk about? Name something specific and then we'll go from there. Until then...

On second thought, why is this directed at me? I am a Libertarian! My guy did not win.

No one really can have an experience that would prepare them for a Presidency, and some of our worst Presidents were lifelong politicians... Some of our best were not...

Hard to say until Jan 20th what will happen, time to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Good attitude, i'm sick of hearing all those cry babies crying over their loss, you lost, deal with it and let Trump do the job, Hillary has already been proved to be riddled in lies.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

A lame duck isn't going to have much opportunity to get anything done outside of what he can do with executive orders

I know what a lame duck is. You, on the other hand, are trying to throw things out like it's just not Obama's place to appoint Scallia's successor, even though legally and Constitutionally it his appointment.

Tom

Huh? For Hillary supporters the election wasn't over until today, they were threatening electors and the whole nine. Do something and accuse the opposition of doing it to deflect?

Right and the votes are in... Now we need to place our efforts on the real enemy - our mutual problems. We're Americans before and after we are Dems, Reps, or whatever... We need to think about solving the problems not brawling without end.

 

[Mindmaster]

Such appointments take time, and Obama knows whatever he picks is getting shot down. It's just a matter of not wasting your time, and you presume Obama's work ethic is that strong. I don't, especially when he was a junior Senator and missing the most days of sessions in a long while. Obama has largely been on vacation for eight years...

If Obama had really wanted to he could have easily shopped out a pick that the Republicans could approve, but he didn't. The blame falls on him for taking it easy, and of course not doing the research to find such a suitable person. He's just is to pick them, the Senate's is to approve them... They have nothing to do unless he offers a suggestion.

There has been plenty of times, and the Republicans said they were going to not accept anyone Hillary put forward. So......

 

[columbus]

Tell that to the Republicans.
The ones who tried to shut down the government because Obama was so popular.
Ef you Putinists.

He did.
Garland was a Republican favorite last time around.
Too bad you people don't pay attention.

Heh, apparently your memory doesn't reach back to the 80s with Reagan fighting a congress that had a 50 year Democratic majority. Both parties play the game, and use all the moves. What Putin has to do with anything is beyond me...

It does.
But I am not talking about history, I am talking about Trump.
Why do you people keep changing the subject?
