What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[viper37]

The speech gave me a red, white and blue boner. I'm gonna punch some foreigners in the nuts.

When you're in France, does that mean you're gona punch your own nuts?

You have some crazy fetish going on...

[Ed Anger]

And how.

You can't argue that a 2.5 million vote lead is pretty significant, even if it's not 50%.

I'm not going to argue against that. Just Tim was saying she'd reach 50% when all the votes were counted, which was crazy considering she was at 47% with 120 million already in.

Hoosier girls.  Never tried that myself.

Fun night  

Height of my evening was getting yelled at by protesters while we were waiting in line to get in.  There were three different clumps of protesters in the overall group.  First time I had ever been to or near a protest where they had a thick line of police separating two opposing groups.  First group was composed of die-hard Hillary supporters chanting "two point five" at us.  I inadvertently started a "lock her up" chant that drowned them out. 

When we got up near the group of Bernie supporters, they were yelling "love trumps hate!" to which I started chanting "block that kick!" and the same people in line with me joined in.  I guess they'll chant anything.  I felt a rush of power.  One of the Bernie Bros was standing yelling something with a raised fist.  I thought that was cool so I raised my fist and yelled "fight the power!"  He seemed confused at first and then smiled.  I think he probably figured out I listened to PE back in the day.

The last group, right as we were about to go through security, was your random protest crazies.  I did not really engage with these people.  They were scary.  One dude was holding a huge "PRO CHOICE" sign with a dead mangled baby on it.  He was yelling "dead babies" over and over.  When I looked at his sign he told me "the real murderer is in that building-- he killed 54 million people".  Oookay.

I've heard people cracking on the lack of diversity in the rally.  Funny thing was that the protesters were even less diverse.

Now the rally itself was not the packed house I was expecting.  Apparently they screwed up the ticketing thing and didn't get it fixed until late morning, which kept people away.  It was still about 2/3 capacity.  Saw a lot more young people there than I expected.  Plenty of old people.  A few rednecks sprinkled in.  Lots of frat boys wearing sport coats and red hats.  There was a group of 4 college age girls in front of us that I thought were mocking Trump supporters at first but they just turned out to be really enthusiastic.  Overall the crowd was fairly mellow compared to what you saw on TV during the campaign.

Only got to see one person escorted out.  Not sure what he did at first but he caused Trump to turn around and point him out.  He defiantly flipped off the crowd and yelled "Fuck Trump" as he was led out by security.  Charming to the last.

Trump did a pretty good job working his crowd.  The girls in front of me were practically wetting themselves.  One weird thing was how often he mentioned "workers".  Almost as if he were addressing some sort of Workers Party.  Anywho, the promise to save the American worker, combined with him saying "America First" and talking about protectionism gave me a flashback to Dick Gephardt's 1988 primary campaign. 

It was a rambling speech that occasionally got back on track like Seedy said.  Three or four times he called out the press and called them liars, pointing them out while doing so, which made me feel uneasy even if it was probably just theatrical.  But I have to admit, I did clap when he announced Mad Dog as Defense Secretary. 

Once Trump got on stage I just treated the whole thing as a comedy act.  I giggled most of the time.  Like I said, fun night.  Cheap one, too.  All I had to pay for was parking.

And then I thought, wow he's actally a pretty terrible person.

[Zoupa]

Such a small man.

Who?  Ed, Seedy, Valmy, derspiess, or President-elect Trump?

Pedo-rapist Drumpf. Mostly.

[Legbiter]

Nice to have our own languishite to report from the scene. Thanks derspiess.

Der Furor's rally in Cincy:  America First!

Spoken to several foreign leaders:  they have such respect for us. One of them told him that he "truly respects the United States again."

You'll be happy to know, that Orban has declared that democratic forces have won back the US, there is "still work for us to do" in Europe, but "we are getting there!"


Really, ever since Trump won the fascists in Hungary has had a constant jizz-in-the-pants fest, they feel like they personally rule the US now. It is tiring.

I don't like the Dems' popular vote argument because it is extremely dishonest.
If the situation would have been the reverse, the electoral college system would be praised by all Democrats as the bastion of true democracy, and the saver of America.

I'm not sure about that. It isn't like the Dems haven't complained about electoral college before.

Under current conditions, it's far more likely to help Republicans. States with small populations get higher representation; rural voters are generally a larger portion of the electorate in those states.

Indeed.  In part, that is its purpose.
