Europe Must Defend Itself Against A Dangerous President

rich that posters who expressed explicitly that they were voting "against Hillary" or because they "thought it would be funny for a Trump presidencyh" now come up here and JCD this shit sandwich by pretending there was some revolution of politically-aware voters being sick of establishment blah blah blah. talk about alternative facts
 
tell me more about turnout and your big revolution, little buddy. I believe the percentage of eligible voters was lower, but by all means focus on this hair-splitting.

we're supposed to call the #PSF things like "little buddy."

You're doing it backwards. This isn't 'Nam, there are rules. Abide by em, dude.
 
Holy. Shit. Have you forgotten the past 8 years already?

Haven't forgotten the last 8 years, nor did I forget the 8 years before that, nor the 8 years prior. It's all one-upsmanship these days. You fucked our guy so we'll fuck your guy.
 
that's why Trump is in the White House? fucking no it isn't, you are buying into a myth, sir. Those fucking rubes who elected him in in the rust belt - yes rubes - have no idea what happens in the halls of power and wouldn't know if they were being taken advantage of because they aren't paying nearly the attention you think they are, and they know little to nothing about government and establishment politics. They were told the Mexicans were stealing their jobs, and that Hillary wanted to take their guns, and that Muslims were coming to kill them, and that inner city blacks were creating a ddystopia in American cities, and it worked on a few hundred thousand FUCKING RUBES. You and the rest want ot think this is a political revolution. It is not, it is a colossal mistake made by people with very narrow interests and a populist TV pitchman who swung a low-turnout election.

Please stop, you are not part of a political revolution - at least not one that the voters thought they were ushering in.

Your post pretty much nailed it, though not in the way you intended. Sure there were rubes who voted for him. You think rubes didn't vote for Hillary? Those poor uneducated white folks you count as rubes aren't any dumber than the poor uneducated black folks that vote for Democrats at a 95% clip. They just aren't your rubes is all. There were plenty of educated folks out there who were willing to gamble on Hillary rather than see her or her party in power. Plenty of educated people out there who want to see the system shaken up.

But continue to chalk it up to rubes by all means. It's not just happening here, but everywhere.

ETA (and I apologize for posting this so much after the initial post, but I had to do shit around the house) that the tone of your post is representative of much of the opposition, and don't think that the sanctimonious, patronizing tone went unnoticed by those who didn't cast their vote for HRC. A lifetime of being called stupid or rubes that culminated in the worst of it in the fall of 2016 will eventually bite somebody in the ass. If it didn't happen with Trump, then with somebody else in 2020.

No, it's not. Some rando "shaking the system up" idea is not a revolution. It's just casual complaining.

Your comment on blacks voting for dems at a 95% clip is great. There are actual stated policy positions consistent with that voting bloc. Not half-cocked "sick of being taken for granted" or "sick of establishment pols".

That ain't a revolution, Sally. That's just uninformed bitching. And it produced an equivalent result - a know nothing rudderless mess. Nice job
 
Case in point.

Look, the left has lost its fricking mind and the far left is not above violence to achieve its means. Everybody else would rather freak out on social media or on message boards or dump friends who didn't dare vote for the cooze that opposed him. And while his ongoing tweets and general petulance are most certainly un-Presidential, anybody who trusts much of anything being reported in media sources today is doing so because it fits their own agenda.

His EO isn't the end of the world. Poorly implemented and written, but the left is freaking out about what again? That he'd like to curtail or slow the influx of immigration from countries where most of the population views us negatively and a substantial portion would be happy with blowing us up? It's fucking politics. The left was happy when Obama was doing everything in his power to legalize people that would increase his voting bloc. Grow the fuck up. What comes around goes around.

You wanna be mad about the SCOTUS nominee? Go right ahead. The GOP was childish in that regard, no question about it. But blame McConnell and Congress for that, not Trump.

Der Speigel is parroting the left's talking points when it calls the President a racist for enforcing immigration laws and when it acts like firing an acting AG from a previous administration who was obviously grandstanding was some appalling move. It's true he is shitting on the establishment, to which I say more power to him. If that is "upsetting the balance of power", so be it. The establishment needs to be shit on. It needs big nasty diarrhea shit dripping down its fucking face and flooding its maw. Right now, the establishment is kicking and screaming about it. At some point, it's going to have to do some self-reflection and ask itself why it finds itself in the situation it does around the world. It isn't because people everywhere have lost their minds. It's because people everywhere are tired of being taken for granted and tired of smooth-talking politicians. The establishment should be re-molding itself and doing its best to bend a bit in order to accommodate because this isn't about accommodating Trump but accommodating resentment and anger among the masses everywhere, including Europe. Trump's bad manners are really unimportant in the large scheme of things.

Doesn't it basically come down to wealth inequality ultimately? Which party's philosophies are more focused on levelizing the playing field?

worth repeating.

Depends on who you are and which field you play on.
 
It doesn't matter which policies actually level the playing field, just the ones that sound best
 
The Shake Things Up in Washington Revolution ® led by Donald J Trump - reality show star, hamburger pitchman, beauty pageant owner - coming to a rural state near you! We will make America great again by being great, huge, and terrific. You needn't worry about how, just get ready to be great! Old alliances and methods are boring, we will Shake it Up and do it better! Look for us on Twitter!

Yeah, its great when we hear about how the rust belters and the working class have been "ignored" and "taken for granted" when Trickle Down has been the economic philosophy of the past 30 years, has shifted record amounts of wealth upward, but it is the Dem party that has taken them for granted and now there is a revolution afoot to keep the liberal elites out and usher back in the .......trickle down guys. fucking brilliant revolution.
 
The final line in that was pretty interesting:

The White House’s readout of Trump’s call with Hollande said the president “reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to NATO” and “the leaders also lauded our combined efforts to eliminate ISIS in Iraq and Syria.”
 
lol im fine, brave revolutionaries. How are things out there in the big Shakeup®? Is your MAGA hat holding up? Did your fearless leader figure out who to call about the weak dollar?
