Mourning in America - Trump Year One: November '16 to

Guys I think what we should be spending our energy on is working on drafting an Act that spells out TRUMP in its title and does all the stuff that we want.

Have great ideas that Washington should vote for! Taxes, Real-Estate, Urban Management. Proposal!

The Tax Reform Unleashing Massive Peace Act of 2017

wait no Tax Reform Unleashing Maximum Prosperity

Temperatures Reduced Under (environmental) Management and Protection

I think the TRUMP acronym still needs to use Trump as the T

Trump Resorts Ultimate Maximum Prosperity Act

Meet the new Hamilton.

He reminds me of the divorced dad of a friend of mine and my friend would only see him on the weekends and he was always on the phone and he had a younger girlfriend and we'd go to his big empty house and he would ignore us or say a few awkward words to my friend and you never knew what he did for a living and there were always file folders everywhere and he would take off with his girlfriend and me and my friend would just watch cinemax buy ourselves and the gunfire from the action movies we watched would just echo off the walls.

"by ourselves"

lol

what do we think of these conspiracy theories?

stopped reading after the first sentence of the first one because

Why were our internal and public polls so unprecedentedly off the mark?

they weren't.

although our poll aggregators were unprecedentedly off the mark

Fresh wave of anxiety coming on again. oh joy

wait until inauguration day. the only way to ward off despair will be to take to the streets and yell at him from afar.

canada will be fine

I'm stressed about other life stuff atm, but then looking at twitter (or this thread) compounds it. Woke up paralyzed by fear this morning :'(

May be moving to the USA next August :-(

i like zuckerberg's honesty here https://twitter.com/ftrain/status/800416102333513729

knew that was fake when he mentioned wegmans

? it's not fake

this outrage over someone not liking a Broadway play is sure to win Dems back the rust belt in 2020

on further thought, it has to be fake

By the way:

Both the US and the Soviet Union had nuclear missiles that could those things in the 80s.

i thought we still did

GOP has been craving a president that runs the country like a CEO

Only, he doesn't.
What Does Donald Trump Really Want? (Fortune, April 3, 2000)

Among Trump’s theoretical peers, which is to say other rich business people, the situation is different. When Fortune asked several thousand of them to rank 469 companies for its 1999 list of Most Admired Companies, they put Trump’s casino company dead last. More specifically, they ranked it worst in quality of management, use of corporate assets, employee talent, long-term investment value, and social responsibility.

Frankly, I'd take a successful CEO any day over this trust fund narcissist.

No one said he would run America like a good CEO, whatever that even is.

The fuck are you talking about?

No they weren't. Just a couple of points, completely normal.

the cast of a fey broadway musical giving a lecture to the VP-elect cements every bias and preconceived notion moderates & conservatives have about liberals: they are contemptuous of you, hypocritical, and arrogant beyond belief. the booing is one thing- but man, what a stupid fucking move on behalf of Lin Manuel-Miranda to write that speech directed at Pence.

everyone needs to quit pearl clutching and think about this strategically. the deeper the left delves into its bubble and panics and prepares for the Trump admin like it'll be an autocracy is so ridiculous. there will be another election in 4 years!! for the first time since 1992, there will be a primary challenger for incumbent Trump!

^amending that fucked up sentence... the deeper the left delves into its own bubble, two terms of Trump are all but guaranteed...

xp yes, I'm aware of what actually *happened*, since I posted about it. None of it can be characterized as "outrage over someone not liking a Broadway play" which is so close to idiotic as to be indistinguishable.

the speech itself was fairly respectful tbf

we're getting two terms of Trump because lol USA

the content of the speech doesn't matter. it's bad optics.

xp
Lol Dems, more to the point. I'm not 100% convinced that Hillary won't try running again in 202.

I agree that I got bored when the 567th person on my Facebook feed commented on the story yesterday, but the counterarguments -- "While we were laughing at Mike Pence, some REAL NEWS was happening...like Trump U!" -- bore me too. We're already in a bubble, flappy bird -- all of us. Trump supports will neither read nor care about Trump U settlement, Hamilton, or Putin.

And I love the idea that this, which constitutes the cast's statement IN ITS ENTIRETY, constitutes a "lecture."

“We, sir, we are the diverse America, who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”

WOW SUCH LECTURE SO STRIDENT WOW

I ain't gonna hear about "bad optics" re: people who spent the last six months yelling TRUMP THAT BITCH and LOCK HER UP.

is flappy bird Chuck Todd?

the deeper the left delves into its bubble and panics and prepares for the Trump admin like it'll be an autocracy is so ridiculous.

worked for the right, may as well try it. sure, there were two terms of obama, but 8 years later they control everything

OOF alfred that hurts... Chuck Todd has the worst hair i've ever seen on any human. i can't stand him, BUT it has helped me in the past week and a half to anesthetize my morality & beliefs and focus entirely on strategy, just to stay sane...

being half facetious of course, but the thing that has shocked me the most about the last 8 years is the total lack of punishment for wanton obstructionism, and i think the left should probably learn that lesson.

"What did you do in the war, dad?"

"Well son, I certainly didn't delve into my bubble - bad optics"

― flappy bird,

worse than Hewitt's?

hugh hewitt? never noticed his hair... Chuck Todd looks like he had a Prince Valiant going on then went to Super Cuts and now it's growing back in.

Wait, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the speech?
