then you're probably fine. If you're relying on the Medicare expansion to get you access to low income insurance and/or subsidies yeah, you are screwed. I'm sorry man, we tried...
they got that from him. He also quieted down about tariffs. And deporting Mexican immigrants. About the only thing he held onto was that damn wall and throwing Hilary in jail. And he even started backtracking on the wall.
So yeah, he's been dancing just fine. He's an entertainer. We shouldn't be surprised.
when a disaster is coming and you do nothing to stop and mitigate it, it's your job to do something to stop and mitigate it and you ignore it on purpose then yes. Yes we will blame you. It won't make the resulting (completely unnecessary) human misery any less real...
for ignoring the Middle Class. They focused on the very rich and the very poor. Those two groups got taken care of. The rich got tax breaks, cheap labor and cheap money (super low interest rates, etc) and the poor got the Medicare expansion, extended unemployment and a bit of stimulus. The middle class got fuck all.
Joe Biden talked about this (I wish he'd run, he'da crushed Trump). Sure, Trump isn't going to do anything either, but he said he would, which is more than I heard from Hilary...
at the very least Hilary & Co are out the door. Done. Finished.
I'm hoping the damage Trump does can be contained by the MID Term and this shifts the country left. Hopefully the Blacks and Latinos that stayed home and gave this election to Trump realize their mistake in the mid-terms. That said, Voter Suppression played a vital role in getting Trump elected (poll watching, closing polls in Black & Latino districts, etc, etc) and it's not going to get any easier from here...
they're large, have a lot of money, and if they stay home we lose the election anyway. That's why we let her run. We also underestimated how unpersonable she would be and how effective the character assassination campaign against her was.
the 1% are fine with Trump. Lots of tax cuts, regulation cuts, Union busting, etc. That leaves the loons, and the left just aren't up to assassinations. We've shied away from violence this entire campaign. Trumps fine. The rest of us? Not so much.
Lots of it. The 1965 Voter Rights Act got shut down. Polling places in Black and Latino neighborhoods were closed left and right. Folks with guns hung around polling offices scaring voters. I hate to Godwin this thread but a buddy of mine likened it to what the Nazis did. He wasn't entirely wrong.
If you know a Black or Latino of voting age then make a pledge. Make sure they vote in the mid-term. It's the only chance to balance this mess out. In the meantime I've got a Type-1 Diabetic friend who's gonna get cut off from insurance when the ACA gets repealed. He was hitting the ER for insulin (often just barely making it) until the ACA funded Medicare expansion got him back on the rolls. Maybe I'll try a go fund me in 12 months when he's kicked off again.
the GOP will probably lose the Senate next mid-term. Probably. For the record, Blacks and Latinos didn't come out for Hilary. The election was close and if they had she probably would have won. To be fair thanks to the Supreme Court striking down the 1965 Voting Rights Act they probably didn't get the chance. Blacks are 6 times more likely to wait an hour to vote then whites.
But all that said, Hilary had nothing substantive to offer voters. The only concrete thing we got out of her was the Buffet rule. That left emotion, and she leaves everyone cold. She spent too much time working up to this and not enough time living. People don't feel anything from her, and our elections are decided on feelings.
is that the word has been co-oped by extremely radical folks who don't want you to think of them as Radical. Guys like John Kasich who'd do sweeping changes to our laws and even our political structures given the chance but who talk up a game like they're moderates in favor of limited change. Those guys scare the pants off me because they can sneak into power and do awful things without anyone realizing what they are.
to rig the election. Then again we're already seeing lower early voter turn out among blacks in N.C. which was pretty much predicted by the (then GOP) folks running the state, so I'm not hopeful.:(
and everything to do with being manipulated. I'd like to think any woman I marry would be smart/cynical enough to recognize that insanity that is a 'natural' diamond. Also I'd like her to consider the conditions it was mined in (slave labor, wars, torture, etc).
Why not put the money into a nicer house if it's just a statement of how much I'm willing to spend. Something that you live with daily.
This is something I like to ask self proclaimed conservatives. Hilary is the most conservative candidate out there by the actual definition of the word. She's going to do a fine job maintaining the status quo. A few tax cuts here, a few tax raises here, but nothing substantial. She's your classic nixonite pro-corporate politician. A little corrupt but nothing out of the ordinary.
Trump's the radical one here. Same with Johnson & Stein. You can be a radical regressive and support Trump. Maybe even Johnson (Stein's another kettle of fish entirely). But you can't vote Trump and really be conservative, can you?
lots and lots of dupes. That plus it's not hard to filter out 90% of the email from the spam folder. The public doesn't have a burning need to know the ratio of penis enlargement spam to viagra spam in Secretary Clinton's inbox (though certain members of/. might).
and Trump has better odds being our next 3 presidents than I do getting married but I'll say this: No way in hell would I buy a woman a diamond engagement ring. Even without the ethical quandaries (blood diamonds anyone?) I'd still feel like a chump. I remember growing up thinking a diamond engagement ring was a 1000 year old tradition and finding out it was all made up in the 20s by marketing execs to sell diamonds.
and seeing someone get their just deserts. Trump's been inciting violence. It's kinda like if you get bit by a dog I feel bad for you. If you kick a dog and get bit? Not so much.
is "Keep farking that chicken". I forget who pointed it out but at this stage Hilary Clinton is the most heavily vetted candidate for the presidency in History. Mother lovin' Obama wasn't put through this much crap.

he has a very real agenda and it was made clear early on that he'd be running the show behind the scenes, not Trump.
she couldn't make it stick. She couldn't make anything stick because she's got no charisma (I'm too tired to come up with a witty joke here).

Oh, and Comey? Nice Job. Very nice job.
they'll get over it. Or they won't. But again, I'd like to think her parents would get mad as hell when they found out how they'd been had.
for anyone looking to off load an adorable kitten in 12 minutes. Used to be you had to send them by mail. (mad props to anyone who gets the joke).
is it safe to assume we mean "Russia"?

Call a spade a spade.
This doesn't encourage me :(

as this.
Attacks on US embassies are surprisingly common, as are deaths resulting from them.
just admitted he was wrong?
