What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

If the Deep State was real, how come it didn't block Trump from getting elected?

It fabricated over 3 million illegal votes but it just wasn't enough to stop the awesomeness of Trump.

Hey, if everybody used perfect logic all the time, Grumbler would be out of a schtick.

The American Republic will crumble under the weight of its own internal contradictions...

Too much money given leeway;
Too much 1st Amendment freedom without 1st Amendment responsibilities;
Too many weapons allowed;

America, your comeuppance is drawing near!


A part of me will grieve... but most of me will be immensely gratified when it happens.  You can't go around preaching when your own heart is diseased right?

I heard this earlier and thought it was apt: Donald is one of those people who always, always, always, raises in Poker.  :lol:
I made this analogy in the election thread soon after Trump won, when Beeb was trying to make me admit that Trump must be a little smart to win.  Trump is like Jerry Yang;  sure, you can appear to be crazy like a fox for quite a while, but eventually you'll be revealed as just plain crazy guy whose luck was just extremely tardy at running out.

You joke but I am serious. I have always had a hard time understanding the logic behind supporting and celebrating somebody like Trump. Is this what they had in mind when they elected him? I guess it is and my expectations that this is an embarrassing amateur hour clown-show that is obvious to everybody is misplaced. But maybe I am wrong and there is a line Donald could cross. I just do not know what it is.
It's not stupidity so much as it is insanity.  The key to insanity is falling into a set of prior beliefs that just cannot be falsified by reality.  We observe Trump being an unmitigated disaster, Trump voters observe liberals being hysterical about anything that Trump does.  Neither set of prior beliefs gets chipped away by reality.

Ah!  I haven't gotten laid in over 10 years...  So you can imagine how frustrated I am now dear Money.  However, do not try to sidetrack my comment.  You guys are in such a bad shape!  I consistently read the comments' section of most media outlets, 'fake' or otherwise, and I cannot fail to notice the level of hatred that now exist between the 'liberals' and 'trumptards'; 'Civil War' levels of hatred...  it's as if both camps are living in completely different countries...  This doesn't bode well!

The FBI really needs to wipe that silly ass smirk off Carter Page's face.  Something is very wrong with him.

in nearly every american movie I saw, whenever there was a catastrophe, like a nuclear meltdown or a biological attack, it always stopped right at the border.  All of the US was red, but Canada was left pristine, intact.

That magical barrier of ours will protect us from your evil ways!

I just saw him on Chris Mathew's show (my mom watches a lot of MSNBC).  That was a surreal interview.  Page looked like some kid trying to spin lies in a police interrogation room.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You're imagining things. Canada doesn't exist in those movies.

I'm not sure he can make the connection between being the center of attention and possibly going to jail.
