    Re: The election

    Seriously. I don't like Trump, but I would much rather have him in office than Clinton. I'm hoping our health care system will get fixed along with the military cuts.

    I didn't know black people were rednecks either.

      And if it ends up being another case of many laws not getting passed, it also makes you wonder how much will actually be accomplished in the next 4 years...

        In other news, I'm loving all of the salt everyone on here and Twitter has. It's great keep it coming.

        EDIT: btw, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up over 310 points the past 2 days. So much for that stock free fall everyone was talking about.

        This is probably what brits felt during Brexit you guys will be fine.

        i suppose this makes you 0/976 on posts worth reading

        i would avoid slamming your face into the keyboard for the next 24 as that might result in preventing your unbroken run to 1000

            The executive branch includes all of trump's appointees and cabinet members. The legislative branch is congress, these people are NOT appointed by Trump. The judicial branch is all federal courts but more importantly the Supreme court . These justices are appointed for life so that they are not biased to electoral or party pressure. These 3 branches check eachother. Trumps appointees dont check eachother.

                Actually, that is a personal reason, but you implying it's not "real" is a load of white privilege (go ahead, call me a cuck like I fuckin care) bullshit.

                    Why would you be scared to go out into the streets? Trump isn't out in the streets terrorizing anyone. People who don't like Trump are the ones protesting and making the streets potentially unsafe. If the people would just deal with how the election turned out and go back to being civilized, it wouldn't be an issue.

                    And the checks and balances thing, aren't all branches Republican-dominated now? http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-n...108-story.html
                    That seems to suggest so. But even still, like someone else mentioned, just because Congress is majority aligned with Trump's party doesn't mean they will support/pass legislation he wants passed.

                    When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

                      Plenty of people now feel emboldened in their racist or bigoted views. Saying the only threat is people who don't like Trump is grossly misrepresenting the situation. It's not all sunshine and rainbows for everyone.

                      I like how you're equating protesting Trump with not being civilized. I mean, yeah, just be civilized and accept a leader whose views could lead to severely limiting or even life-threatening situations for a variety of people. Be respectful of his views!

                      edit: I'm not saying I agree with the protests. He hasn't done anything worth protesting yet. But I understand where the anger comes from. Electing a leader who threatens to take away rights such as marriage equality or affordable healthcare is something I'd be scared of/pissed about as well if it happened in my country.

                        Being a white male in a middle class family living in the Midwest, I'm pretty insulated from his threats with respect to race. I can understand being concerned with his stated threats to civil liberities, but most don't effect me. Mass deportations of illegals and locking down immigration especially at the Southern border are things I don't worry about, so I'm certainly biased.

                        Civil unrest is fine, I think the founding fathers encouraged it (I might be wrong on that bit), but violent protests over someone who won't take office for two more months seems extreme. I haven't been following to see if the current protests are violent, but the point still stands.

                        Fearing the worst right now I disagree with. I seriously doubt his radical ideas will come to fruition. It's the people you have to fear. People don't change every four years, but the president can.

                              Yeah I'll respect differing opinions when they're something along the lines of "I don't like steak" or "I think Obama was a bad president".

                              I won't respect "I think a racist, sexist piece of shit who energizes other racists into being violent should be president".
