Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I know this is you suggesting another poster is mentally ill - you're so cool for doing that, too - but I'd wager Trump will want asylums brought back.

 

If you are a conservative, you have two choices: A possible disaster who may actually do a number of things you like; or a certain disaster. It's really not that hard. I know you lefties revel in telling everyone else what to do, but voting for #AnyoneButHillary is a pretty easy choice for conservatives. And "anyone" only means someone who actually has a chance.

 

Of course not; I wouldn't vote for the old bag myself if there were any choice. But Fucko will make my problems and everybody's problems a bazillion times worse.

It can't be allowed.

 

In this "Year of the Outsider" election cycle, you can't possibly believe that's a strength with voters.

 

It is definitely a weakness with dumb voters, of which there are many. Approximately 48 percent, as of yesterday.

 

Please be true:

 

What actions / consequences comprise "disaster" under Trump?
What actions / consequences comprise "disaster" under Hillary?

 

I play that game often when people say the current administration --- whatever it is --- has been a "disaster."

I ask for specifics affecting their own lives. The lives of family members. Or even the lives of a friend.

Nobody can ever come up with anything.

There is a part of me who believes I could slip into a coma for 4 and a half years, wake up with no knowledge of who won the 2016 election . . . . and just based on what I see around me STILL COULD NOT TELL WHO WON.

 

"YOU PEOPLE!!!"

Are you Sean Hannity?

 

It won't be nearly as funny as Hillary's concession speech.

 

This is the voice of privilege. Neither you nor anybody you know is in a vulnerable position, so it's easy to think that there is no consequences to elections.

I lived in a town where the conservative takeover and resulting budget impasses and slashes closed the local facility for caring for the permanently mentally disabled. The cascade effect was horrific, both in terms of the jobs lost in the town and in terms of all of these people who literally could not care for themselves suddenly being shoved into the spare bedrooms of whatever closest relative the state could find. Many people's lives got significantly worse almost overnight.

I'm doing everything I can to keep my son out of those places after I die, but it would just take one good run of bad luck, and he depends on all kinds of partially government-funded services for therapies and treatments in the meantime. That shit is absolutely on the chopping block if certain type of conservatives get their way. Because it is "immoral" to make them live on a slightly smaller percentage of what they imagine they carved out of the earth with no help from society.

 

Get real; she was the daughter of a janitor in Oklahoma and you're pretending she's the same as the Wall Streeters and big corp execs?

$350k? That's barely one month for a Wall Streeter hedge fund manager. You do realize that Milken made $500M in one year, right?

$10M? A programmer who's company was bought by Cisco in the 90's retired at 35 with that (and unfortunately he lost it with idle time on his hands).

The system is rigged when the USA bails out AIG and the traders who made hundreds of millions selling the derivatives based on mortgages did not have to pay the consequences of when the bet came up to be paid.
