Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: For once, I agree. This is exactly why I wasn't too frightened of Trump's domestic proposals ... three branches of government, two legislative houses, all counterbalancing each other as designed by the Framers of the Constitution. Sometimes that leads to gridlock, even when urgent action is needed. But we've been here before and survived as a nation... just consider the War of Independence and how hard it was to raise money to provision the troops!

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
Quote: http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=61377&p=63 Trump may well win, but that is not how you, 6ix, personally win or get ahead in the world. That is how Trump gets ahead in the world, as he has been doing the last 40 years, taking advantage of suckers who can't understand how he plays the game.

Quote:Originally posted by second: You might have forgotten that Trump is letting all the old nuclear weapon treaties expire. As for a new treaty with, say, N Korea or Iran, Trump is failing or flailing. Whichever. He has also built a small nuke, W76-2, especially suitable for assassinating heads of state. Even if he nukes nobody in the next 5 years, that sets up the world for a nuclear war. Could that be bad? www.thenation.com/article/mini-nukes-nuclear-weapons-trump-war/

Quote: Trump is also going to ridiculous lengths to increase the amount of CO2 in America. Burn more coal, lower fuel mileage, more incandescent bulbs, fewer LED bulbs. Could that be bad?

Quote:Originally posted by THG: That's up for debate second. It is estimated it saved half a million American lives. That's because all Japanese were going to fight to the last man. It's also foolish to think Stalin and others weren't going to develop their own bomb regardless.

Why don't you demand decent candidates and platforms to run against him instead of trying to get a re-do on the election of 2016? If you had a single good candidate up there then Trump would be only a year away from being a memory. Obama has even come out and chastised the left and their behavior in recent months. The response? "OK Boomer!" They called him a Republican. Some even called him Alt-Right. We're looking at the death throes of the Democratic Party. The only question is, what will rise from the ashes? Do Right, Be Right. :)

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: Democracy depends on the consent of the losers. For most of the 20th century, parties and candidates in the United States have competed in elections with the understanding that electoral defeats are neither permanent nor intolerable. The losers could accept the result, adjust their ideas and coalitions, and move on to fight in the next election. Ideas and policies would be contested, sometimes viciously, but however heated the rhetoric got, defeat was not generally equated with political annihilation. The stakes could feel high, but rarely existential. In recent years, however, beginning before the election of Donald Trump and accelerating since, that has changed. “Our radical Democrat opponents are driven by hatred, prejudice, and rage,” Trump told the crowd at his reelection kickoff event in Orlando in June. “They want to destroy you and they want to destroy our country as we know it.”

You're pointing out one of the extremely few groups of people who would both fight with others who vote their way and always vote Republican. Take a look around you, Second. There are literally 100's of those groups that vote Democrat. If the Legacy Media didn't blitz Trump stories 24/7, they'd have already begun eating each other. Do Right, Be Right. :)
