He's not a career politician and he has majorities in both houses of congress and will probably end up with at least two supreme court nominees. He'll be able to get a lot of what he promised done before the next mid terms assuming the left doesn't decide to filibuster everything.Originally posted by LANTIRN View PostComment

Doesn't really matter, at the very least we get a big "NO" stamp on all the full retard crap the commies want to do, for 4-8 years. Plus I agree with BP, he's not just another career politician. He had to use the republican party, and he used it well. But he's basically an independent.Originally posted by LANTIRN View Post
That shouldn't be allowed. You don't get in there and vote, you lose your job the next day. You get replaced. That's how that oughta work...Originally posted by BP View PostWHComment

Revenge of the ‘Deplorables’
The people Hillary Clinton derided as a “basket of deplorables” have spoken. They have voted out of the pain of their economic misfortune, which Clinton’s branch of the Democratic Party helped engender.
What you have is a defeat of elitism. Clinton’s arrogance was on full display with the revelation of her speeches cozying up to Goldman Sachs—the bank that caused this misery more than any other—and the irony of this is not lost on the people who are hurting and can’t pay their bills. This is a victory for a neofascist populism—scapegoating immigrants and Muslims—and if Bernie Sanders had been the Democrats’ candidate, I feel confident he would have won. We were denied the opportunity of a confrontation between a progressive populist, represented by Sanders, and a neofascist populist.
It’s a repudiation of the arrogant elitism of the Democratic Party machine as represented by the Clintons, whose radical deregulation of Wall Street created this mess. And instead of recognizing the error of their ways and standing up to the banks, Clinton’s campaign cozied up to them, and that did not give people who are hurting confidence that she would respond to their needs or that she gave a damn about their suffering. She’s terminally tone-deaf.
So too were the mainstream media, which treated the wreckage of the Great Recession as a minor inconvenience, ignoring the deep suffering of the many millions who lost their homes, savings and jobs. The candidate of Goldman Sachs was defeated, unfortunately by a billionaire exemplar of everything that’s evil in late-stage capitalism, who will now worsen instead of fix the system. Thanks to the arrogance of the Democratic Party leadership that stifled the Sanders revolution, we are entering a very dangerous period with a Trump presidency, and this will be a time to see whether our system of checks and balances functions as our Founding Fathers intended.
Make no mistake about it: This is a crisis of confidence for America’s ruling elite that far surpasses Nixon’s Watergate scandal. They were the enablers of radical deregulation that betrayed Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s contract with the American people in the wake of the Great Depression. The people are hurting, and regrettably, Trump was the only vehicle presented to them by either major party in the general election to register their deepest discontent. The Trump voters are the messenger; don’t demonize them in an effort to salvage the prestige of the superrich elite that has temporarily lost its grip on the main levers of power in this nation.
Thankfully, the Clinton era is over, and the sick notion that the Democratic Party of FDR needed to find a new home in the temples of Wall Street greed has been rudely shattered by the deep anger of the very folks that the Democrats had presumed to represent. That includes working-class women, who failed to respond to the siren song of Clinton, whom the democratic hacks offered instead of a true progressive like Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. Yes, we need a female president, but not in the mold of Margaret Thatcher.Comment

There are a bunch of mad Volvo drivers around today. It is really strange to see the two groups of people mad about the same outcome. On one side you have the upity ups. On the other, the ones claiming "it a race thing".......never before have I seen those that think they are above everyone and those that don't have a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out of, on the same side of an argument! Meanwhile the hard working, nose to the grindstone people sit back and say....WTF is wrong with these people?Comment

Hope Trump holds to his repealing of Obamacare and nominating 1-2 conservative Supreme court justices. Everything else is minor to me.

President-elect hints at possible compromise after vows to repeal the Affordable Care Act
By Monica Langley and Gerard Baker | Updated Nov. 11, 2016 5:53 p.m. ET
NEW YORK—President-elect Donald Trump said he would consider leaving in place certain parts of the Affordable Care Act, an indication of possible compromise after a campaign in which he pledged repeatedly to repeal the 2010 health-care law.
In his first interview since his election earlier this week, Mr. Trump said one priority was moving “quickly” on President Barack Obama’s signature health initiative, which Mr. Trump said has become so unworkable and expensive that “you can’t use it.”
Yet, Mr. Trump also showed a willingness to preserve at least two provisions of the law after Mr. Obama asked him to reconsider repealing it during their meeting at the White House on Thursday.
Mr. Trump said he favors keeping the prohibition against insurers denying coverage because of patients’ existing conditions, and a provision that allows parents to provide years of additional coverage for children on their insurance policies.
“I like those very much,” Mr. Trump said.
--------------------------------------------
I don't understand it... How about doing everything possible to GET THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE HEALTH CARE BUSINESS?
As a conservative I am all about holding Trump's (and every other Republican's) feet to the fire on this.Comment

I personally have always agreed with the provision allowing parents to keep their children on their policies until age 26. The pre-existing conditions provision I have no opinion of, positive or negative, as it hasn't yet affected me directly. I am in favor of surcharges on smokers, which really isn't a provision of Obamacare, but rather a reasonable way for insurers to shift costs to those who use, or are likely to use, benefits more frequently.Comment

I'm not all that surprised he is softening his approach at the moment...he can't do everything on the first day. I am hoping he is taking this approach to prevent knee-jerk reactions such as Hillary fleeing the country..so that he can hit them all with surprise after he is sworn in and goes after them..but thats just my wish. I want that bitch, her husband, Lynch, and all the rest of them to pay for the treasonous and criminal acts they've so far gotten away with.Comment

He did quite a bit his first day. The individual mandate was cancelled on day one. We've pulled out of the TPP. He is in talks to move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He's renegotiating NAFTA.Originally posted by ram57ta View PostComment

And let his campaign manager do an interview with Chuck Todd where she ended up using the phrase "alternative facts". I bet she won't be on his show again.Originally posted by bubbaearl View PostComment
