Would that mean an Old Testament God? Or a New Testament God that saved us from Cruz? Or just plain, "mysterious ways"? In any case, I try to live my life in a way that it doesn't matter if God exists or not. Think that through.* *with sincere respect to your beliefs and perspective. Yer a good bloke, OV.

Hmmmm... that "Not my president" rhetoric sounds familiar... oh yeah.... the idiots at KKK said the same thing when President Obama got elected! Geez! Be original people! Lol!
Me? Give the guy a chance... and if he messes up, I know he will be booted in 4 years...
What is REALLY hilarious is all those Republicans in Congress that spoke ill of President elect Trump, are now kissing his behind! And all those Democrats that were worshiping Hillary, are now looking for someone else to worship...
In the mean time the whole world is watching....

So how do you feel about his team and potential cabinet so far? From here it looks like a mix of insiders and lobbyists (all sycophants). He's already walking back commitments (probably good). You don't "drain the swamp", by inviting the mayor of swamptown to join your team.

The pressure right now is on our youth, to steer our nation. But mostly, the pressure is on the Republican party. They have the reins and if this country goes to hell we all know exactly whose fault it is. And they should never ever get another chance at anyone's vote if their leadership drags the nation down.

kcar wrote: Could say the same thing if Hillary won. What's your point ? Not voting is its own problem, separate from the one at hand. Now getting back to your earlier response. kcar wrote:Imagine that the most obnoxious, arrogant and incompetent fool has become your boss, landlord/mortgage manager, the mayor and the head of police in your town. He has no experience in any of those positions. His promises of the things he's going to do while in those positions show that he doesn't understand the law/Constitution or the consequences of fulfilling those promises. He's alienated a lot of people who'd normally be his allies. He has promised to persecute people based on their ethnic background and religion. He has all the hallmarks of an emotionally disturbed narcissist. He angers very easily, lies all the time and is a sexual predator. He's repeatedly ripped people off in business. And oh yes: the pile of crap that fell on you in that scenario has now fallen on everyone in the country. I keep posting the link to this Vox story on these pages but let's do it again. Here are the details of the sh—tstorm headed your way: Donald Trump’s presidency is going to be a disaster for the white working class Vox, eh ? Another innocent independent media organization with no apparent agenda or bias, right ?In August 2015, NBCUniversal made a $200 million equity investment in Vox Media Inc., valuing the company at more than $1 billion. Riiiight ... More of the same from one of the purveyors of the Anti Trump left wing media narrative that tried to destroy Trump at all costs and invested so heavily in predicting everything wrong so far about this election and its outcome. And you're throwing out more predictions of gloom and doom from someone who has gotten everything else wrong so far, like all the others who never saw what was coming, when it was plain as day.Your set up and the narrative preceding has made Trump look worse than the Devil incarnate. Hitler is a nice guy compared to Trump, listening to all of this propaganda. And what's worse, you all believe it. And since you all believe it, you are all crying because your worst fears spoon fed into y'all's echo chamber are coming true.
Finally we are seeing the results of a generation sheltered from controversy, adversity, opposing views and especially competition that ends with no winners or losers. No trophies for the winners, but participation trophies for everyone, that deny the achievements of the winners so no ones feelings get hurt. A generation that has been sheltered by political correctness. Got to have those safe spaces, because its too hard to cover your ears and scream la, la, la, la, la until the offending noise goes away. Free speech be damned, anywhere. I was raised by sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Of course its easier said than done. But we now have a generation that has never even been challenged with words let alone losing a competition. A generation that can't handle someone pointing their fingers and saying bang without psychiatric care to overcome the trauma. Now adults are behaving the same way. Its so bad that I fear when they finally inherit responsibility for this country and have to defend it, all an invading foreign aggressor has to do is say, your Momma wears combat boots and they will shrink in terror and surrender the country. The invaders won't even need actual weapons. A flippin generation of what used to be called candy asses and pantie wastes. Your departing leader ...

But as Obama told all of us losers back when he won, I won ... elections have consequences, get over it.
What has Trump said that is on the same level as that ?
Just this. You have been crying about Obama for most of a decade. It's been a nonstop wail for eight. long. years. As much as the nonvoting self-proclaimed anarchist morons annoy me, they really aren't worth the time of day. But if you're going to make an example of them, please don't hesitate to include the people responsible for the headlines in the articles BHD posted.
