Chef Jim Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 You do realize that she wasn't the only political whore in this election, right? Yes I did realize that. Someone's a little cranky this morning. Lighten up Francis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Sarah Palin? Where...Department of Education? And Christie running HHS, no doubt... People are actually acting like Trump was just elected emperor. "I don't know if I'll be able to get married in March now!" Christ...don't worry about it. You are getting married in March. The government is designed to make it hard to do stupid, impulsive things. Well he basically was, but it's their fault, helping to build the imperial presidency.

IDBillzFan Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Interesting stat that supports the whole "Trump didn't win so much as Hillary lost."

Chef Jim Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I have to be honest, I thought I would enjoy the Facebook meltdown more. It's actually sad and pathetic today. "This isn't the country I thought I knew!", "What a setback for our country", blah, blah, blah. Here's a goodie from a "friend" of mine. "How appropriate that this is the anniversary of Kritallnacht" Oy vey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thanks Obama................... Dems had House & Senate, 29 govs, & 27 state legislatures the day Obama was sworn in. Now neither chamber, 18 govs & 12 state legislatures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Am I the only one even slightly hesitant about the fact that we just handed a pocketful of Supreme Court nominees, the House, the Senate and the White House over to a sociopathic demagogue and the handful of creepy little shlts that accompany him?

Not at all. Maybe it will all work out fine somehow? It seems highly unlikely but so did a Trump presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 More Twitter comments.......... what's wonderful is the utter cluelessness about how this brand left wing hysterics directly contributed to Trump's appeal. Please note: the same people now telling you why Trump won are the same people who spent the last week telling you why he was going to lose. A $1 billion campaign budget and a slavishly in-the-tank media was supposed to be the reason Hillary won. Turns out that's reason she lost. For sale, one large fireworks display, unused. $2950 OBO. Contact John P at Javits Center #NYCCraigslist I hope despondent lefties are finally realizing why "local control" is not a dirty word.

In truth, we didn't hand him the House or Senate. I fully expect them to come to their senses relatively quickly and tell the Oompa-Loompa-in-Chief "No." I'm certain they're not just going to rubber-stamp his whims. The government's designed to keep idiots from breaking things too badly. Those controls have been weakened over the past decades, but this may actually reverse that process to some degree. So am I hesitant? Hell. yes. Truly worried? Not all that much, in truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the creepy little ***** worry me. The cabinet rumors I keep hearing worry the hell out of me. (Rudy Giuliani would be a good pick for AG...thirty years ago, when he'd RICO-bombed the mob and Mike Milken.) But even then, a lot of them have to pass Senate confirmation to do anything. And even there I think they might rein in the worst excesses (like Gingrich at State). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Am I the only one even slightly hesitant about the fact that we just handed a pocketful of Supreme Court nominees, the House, the Senate and the White House over to a sociopathic demagogue and the handful of creepy little shlts that accompany him? I was pretty hesitant about either of them, but I think the whole 'world is ending' reaction we're seeing from people is absurdly juvenile and ignorant of how the government works (usually very slowly and gradually). I've actually had to explain to college educated people the POTUS can't launch nuclear weapons. I don't have anything to say to people who are "scared". Scared of what, exactly? As for the USSC, I was much more afraid of Clinton radically changing the court for decades by adding two more young, far left wingers like Obama did. Trump winning keeps the court in balance. Gingrich as SoS is horrifying to contemplate. Ok, that is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got an Occams' sensibility to it, but as flat-out strange as this whole thing has already been, I've still got some trepidation that things could get sideways real quick right after the inaugural victory rush.

B-Man Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I don't know who, but the kind of appointment that I would like at State, is the one who would work hard at weeding out the entrenched, elite, lifetime, "experts" in that department. .
