President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I understand that Trump won, and I have accepted it. I have expressed my doubt about his competence at and dedication to the job, as well as about his picks.

The fact that Russia actively sought to influence our election is unacceptable. The idea that the majority of the American public simply shrugs it off is difficult for me to comprehend.

 

This. It's more about the integrity of the vote vs. who won.

 

I don't think people are shrugging this off. They are understandably confused and would like more information. It might change minds about Trump over time. But not right now. If he did the most dramatic thing possible and agreed to a new vote on say, Jan. 2. to validate his prior win, I'd bet the results wouldn't change by more than 100,000 total votes in the US. It takes more than a month for voters to reject a previous decision. But this is the kind of thing that can eat away at a President who isn't exactly riding in on a wave of popular acclaim. He didn't get the most votes. Many of his voters did so with reservations about him. The longer this story hangs around without resolution, the worse it is for him. If he wasn't such a prisoner of his ego, he'd get that.

 

I bet five million votes would flip.

People have seen what Trump and the GOP are gonna do: get rid of Medicare, for starters.

"Oh we thought he was just gonna quit giving money to Mexicans and lazy mooching neegros. We didn't know he was gonna take Medicare away from Aunt Bertha."

 

A Clinton Fan Manufactured Fake News That MSNBC Personalities Spread to Discredit WikiLeaks Docs

Greenwald basically proves the idea that these leaked documents have been tampered with is unequivocally false, and any "credible accusations" are from people who have their head so far up their ass, that within two clicks and more common sense, they could have realized the source was not exactly the New Yorker.

 

Don't ever stop being you.

 

That someone else should have hacked to get?

That's a scary line when you think about it. Ends justifying all kinds of means.

I think people are so deadened to the idea of computer crime they just accept it blithely. That's why news organizations quote shit they didn't report nearly whole cloth online and expect no one to say boo.

 

He would win by more. Much more. He has been normalized since the election, just by doing normal things like hiring cabinet positions.

 

Trump's approval rating is up since the election.

Hillary has been further exposed as a terrible candidate.

If we had a "re-vote" because of these allegations, Trump would win again -- probably by a wider margin.

 

There should be several investigations to discover what exactly went on. Nobody should have a problem with that.

 

That tweet was not the only source of accusations and your link doesn't prove things as well as you think it does

 

I guess getting justice for the Americans killed in the attack isn't so important now.
