Donald Trump Vent Thread

Cheeto-turd minority President will never have anybody's respect except from dumb redneck republican trailer park trash. They can relate to him. He's on their IQ level.

Popular vote is irrelevant, especially when they're concentrated in just 3 of the 50 states.

 

Agreed, the US is not a democracy.

Electoral college was created by our founding fathers, like our Constitution.

Not quite…the electoral college was founded in order for southern states to count slaves.  Of course, not to give them voting rights, god forbid, but to give the state added population arbitrarily.  By counting slaves at 2/3 person per, the slave states got enhanced voting power.  The Constitution probably ought to be brought up to date.

Democrats have been wilding out for too long.  They've lost touch with common Americans and what's important to us.

 

According to the Republican-based McConnell-Boehner doctrine, one must strive for the failure of America whenever the other party is in power.  Democrats are just doing what is right.

They tell us our insurance premiums will go down and we can keep our doctor, but premiums have been skyrocketing along with the co-pay, and 3 of the largest insurers have opted out of the Obamacare mess.  This leaves fewer selections for insurance, and few doctors that accept it.

In typical capitalist fashion…the insurance companies are withholding supply so as to drive prices up.  Take a look:

Insurance giant Aetna will stop selling health insurance through most of the exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act in 2017… . UnitedHealth Group said in April it planned to pull out of ACA marketplaces in most states, and just last month Humana, which covers about 800,000 people, said it will cut back its offerings…  http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/08/16/490207169/aetna-joins-other-major-insurers-in-pulling-back-from-obamacare

 Remember?  We saw this with OPEC?  Shut off production, prices shoot up. Utilizing the market, capitalists have only to make anti-competitive moves...which incidentally are a violation of the Sherman and Clayton Acts.  In such ways, all of capitalism reduces to monopoly eventually.  Free markets are inevitably unstable.

The answer is a single-payer system, or that is to say…socialized medicine.  Smart money on the left predicted this back in 2009, and now it’s inevitable.

Times have changed, children.  If the DNC hadn't been a corrupt political machine and muscled Bernie out of the picture, we'd probably be celebrating a Sanders administration, instead of a Trump one.  You reap what you sow, Democrats.  Your words have literally come back to cost you.  Now deal with the outcome you've created.

So seeing that this is still America, I still have freedom of speech, and Trump's getting the same warm welcome from Democrats as Obama got from Republicans, you can suck it!

And therein lies the reason why America will always be divided.
Popular vote is irrelevant, especially when they're concentrated in just 3 of the 50 states

And the roughly 80,000 votes that got a guy into the White House whose own AG nominee was just forced to call a sex offender (by a wonderful Democrat) came from just 3 states, too. But at least they're rural states, right?

YEE-HAW!!!!

Now maybe you can concoct some insane rationale to explain how a swing state voter should have 100 times more say in how our country is run than someone from California or Texas.

[Ben Reilly]

Also, "Independent Thoughts," you seem to be saying that members here should not vent about Trump if they so desire.

So let me remind you that this is my site and you are a guest here. You're not shutting down free speech on my site. Sorry, Charlie.

The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if IT turned out to be a Russian agent. He's short on substance, but all too squirrelly to dismiss things. These are nervous times for Russian agents. Lol.

It is that sort of right-wing lying bullshit that got cheeto-face elected. Republicans gobble up lies all day long and reject the truth. I'm convinced that today's conservatism is a mental disease. LIT is a liar.

Just asking!

You're criticizing blog posters, then turning around and kissing the ass of an idiot who makes his living on Twitter? Get back to bagging groceries.

You really are a pathetic numbnuts,  Ivanka...

You whinge and whine about "liberal" blogs...

And yet most of the misinformation, outright lies and outrageous slurs that you keep posting on here often seems to be the product of 'tea_bagger' and ultra-conservative bloggers..

Not to worry your little head, I/T   --  only another year or two you will have graduated your special needs class, and should be brave and trustworthy enough to venture out of your mother's basement --  and if lucky enough, they might even allow you to vote  !            

[Original Quill]

Wow. Seriously, guys? It's been two months since Hillary and the Democrats were soundly rejected by the American people, and you are still butt hurt about it?

Poor things...  
Here, let me help cheer you up.

Democrats have been wilding out for too long.  They've lost touch with common Americans and what's important to us.  They tell us our insurance premiums will go down and we can keep our doctor, but premiums have been skyrocketing along with the co-pay, and 3 of the largest insurers have opted out of the Obamacare mess.  This leaves fewer selections for insurance, and few doctors that accept it.

As shown above, Ivanka,  you don't even know American history...

Neither the American Constitution nor the Electoral College system were "created" by America's "founding fathers''..
Nor was the "corruption" that made the Dumpster 'potus' concentrated within the Democratic machinery,  as you keep on erroneously claiming.

Your grasp of American history seems to be about as sound and as reliable as your understanding of politics, or your enduring belief that 25.4% somehow constitutes a majority..

I/T's glaring faux pas above --  his false belief that America's 'founding fathers' created the US Constitution and the Electoral College system --  demonstrates quite clearly that Ivanka either isn't an American at all,  or if he/she is, knows absolutely nothing at all about the history and political systems of the USA..

(It actually looks like Ivanka could be confusing the American Constitution with the "Declaration of Independence" -- which was worded by some of the "founding fathers" ?)


Wouldn't surprise me at all, if I/T turns out to be not American, but actually is a Russian mole !        

[eddie]

I was pretty surprised he was American when he first posted actually.

They say the Russians fancy themselves poets, not thinkers. That part fits.

Here’s why Congressman and civil rights legend John Lewis is right that Путин Америки“is not a legitimate President”:

1. Nothing, including an arcane, racist section of the constitution, can change the fact that 3 million more Americans voted for Hillary than for Trump. It’s either a democracy or it isn’t. If he had won by 3 million, I would sadly admit that Trump is the President the American people wanted. But that’s not what happened.

2. He is not well and needs help. He has a number of serious mental disorders that make him unfit to hold office — and they are on display every day in one cringe-worthy tweet after another. He is a full-blown malignant narcissist. He displays sociopathic tendencies. He will say one thing and 30 seconds later say the opposite. He is disconnected from the truth. And he has a stunning lack of human empathy. These behaviors make him a truly dangerous occupant of the Oval Office.

3. The Russians interfered with the election in order to get him elected. Even Trump now admits as much. That alone makes the election tainted and should be voided. We spend trillions on ridiculous weapons and ineffective police state-style homeland security measures to defend us against those who would “destroy our way of life” — but we are to remain silent when a foreign government is caught trying to get THEIR candidate elected as OUR president? AND they succeed! This is a joke of monstrous proportions — and the fact that conservatives, Republicans and patriotic good ol’ boys are actively defending this foreign aggression into our country confirms to me what I’ve feared all along: that they really hate our form of democracy, our Bill of Rights, our belief that “All men (sic) are created equal,” our one person-one vote system, that whoever scores the most points wins and that people of all religions are welcome here. They don’t believe that, and I’d respect them so much more if they would just simply admit it.

4. The FBI clearly chose sides, and FBI Director Comey’s interference in the 10 days before the election most-definitely helped tipped the balance to the FBI’s preferred candidate, Donald J. Trump. That our own federal police would so brazenly attempt to throw the election to the person with the least votes is mind-boggling, frightening and must be stopped. Attorney General Lynch must immediately, today, appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate what to me appears to be a criminal offense. If this is true, I want to see FBI Director Comey in handcuffs and behind bars. Short of murder and a few other heinous acts, is there a worse crime in our democracy than the highest ranking cop in the land attempting to throw the election?

5. Trump has nominated in Rex Tillerson the most powerful corporate CEO in the world as “our” Secretary of State. Why would the quarter-billionaire head of the world’s richest corporation want a “government job?” So that he, a personal friend of Putin’s, can get the US sanctions lifted off Russia so that his company, ExxonMobil, can get back to their exclusive oil deal with Russia — which will eventually net ExxonMobil three TRILLION dollars. This is nothing less than a bold, audacious robbery in broad daylight — and it says a lot about you and me that they think they can get away with it.

6. Trump has potentially committed a number of felonies — and a felon simply can’t sit in the Oval Office (I can’t believe I even have to state that). From his admitted sexual assaults to whatever he’s hiding in the tax returns, to possibly evading taxes, to his committing fraud with Trump U, to his long list of conflicts of interest — the chance of us having to suffer through his impeachment trial in the Senate is just too much to bear.

Donald Trump is, as John Lewis said, NOT a legitimate president. He is unfit, unstable and was elected with help from the Russian government. John Lewis has announced he will not attend the Inauguration, and eight other members of Congress today have joined him. Call (202-225-3121) or write your Congressperson and insist he or she not attend the swearing in of an illegitimate president. It’s the least you can do short of standing in front of this runaway train. — Michael Moore

It's like one of those sci-fi stories in which people find an alternate-dimension version of Earth. I keep feeling like we live on that one now.

But yeah, Inauguration Day is Friday.

Re:

# 5.       ExxonMobil  is no longer the biggest/"richest" company in the world...

Hasn't been for the last..  maybe 4 years, or probably more.

Walmart is the biggest corporation, on turnover.    (Exxon is actually #6..).
Measured by their 'Assetts base' the 3 largest corporations are actually now Chinese banks.
On Share value, Apple has the largest market capitalisation..
