A goodly number of them die when they try to walk it. It's pretty unforgiving country.
Are we still talking about illegal Canadians?
Illegal Swedes. Lot of water between here and there.Are we still talking about illegal Canadians?
Yeah - but those fuckers are VIKINGS. Water means nothing to those slavering hoards.
and we're likely heading back there, because Dodd Frank is now at risk of being repealed

Hopefully Trump will in some small way hew to the fact that Obama enjoys a 55% approval rating, the highest ever with an incoming opposing party.
We shall see.
We shall see.
Well the sorry I got your age wrong princess! Bottom line is 50% of the country felt it's going in the wrong direction. I myself feel that way, I may be right I may be wrong. At the end of the day Trump is our new president like it or not. Maybe he'll surprise everyone and do a good job, in 4 years we'll know for sure. The system is flawed on both sides and an outsider may be the one to fix it. The other alternative is leave the country no ones stopping you.
That was totally an outlier. I'm sure they'll be more responsible this time around.
Your math is bad.
Actually, the really good countries don't want us, as the result of the Trump types out there...
I'm open to being wrong. I sure hope I am in fact. Maybe monkeys will fly out of my ass or Giant Meteor will make a late election cycle comeback. There is always hope.
Not planning to get into a pissing contest, but since you live in the most liberal nanny state in the US of A, the irony is strong with this one:

I hear Oklahoma is nice, very 'business friendly' and they have earthquakes to boot
[back to lurking]
nope.
324,707,000 US Citizens
231,556,622 eligible voters
46.9% didn't vote
25.6% voted for Clinton
25.5% voted for Trump
1.7% voted for Johnson
Serious question: What can we do about it?
I see lots of justified anger here, but what can we do about the current situation? In my opinion voting 2 years from now is too little, too late. What can be done right now? What are some concrete actions we can take? I am talking about everything from donations and volunteering to downright obstruction and placing of sabots. I am in search of an outlet for my rage...without going to jail or getting my ass kicked, shot, maced, etc.

california/washington/oregon....popular vote.
Brian likes Newcastle and Hope brakes. Clearly, his ability to be right about things is rather challenged.
and bikes made famous by bender...
I'm NOT a trump fan but anger and hatred won't fix this
What this shows is any group can can band together and get who they want in the white house
This should be a wake up call to the elected officials that we can put them in office as easily as we can replace them that they need to work for the greater good of the people not there special interest group or lobbyist
It's not "lions and tigers and bears oh my"
This is hand we are dealt neither side likes him so vote in two years make sure the right people get elected and again in 4 years make sure to vote too many people did not vote

I'm curious - which of these issues did you see as either A) taking the country in the right direction or B) less important then other issues and why?
- Pence's declaration that being gay was a choice, and supports conversion therapy
- Pence's opposition to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act which would have banned discrimination against people based on sexual orientation.
- Pence signing a law that makes applying for a marriage license in Indiana a felony for gay couples
- Trumps quote: "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."
That gap is only increasing as absentee ballots are being counted
IMO Pence was used as a pawn to secure the right wing vote. Trump is definitely not anti gay and has supported them in the past. The Democratic Party fucked up and elected Hillary. Obama was pretty much invisible for the 8 years and Hillary didn't offer anything different. Bernie would have beat Trump with his new fresh ideas that would have caused taxes to skyrocket even more, but that's a mute point. To be honest I never paid attention to where Trump stands on global warming, then again my wife works for an oil company which helps put food on our table.
Moot. It's spelled moot. Please disseminate this information freely.
this is the main problem w/ the 'drain the swamp' crew... "maybe he'll surprise everyone and do a good job."
yeah, he's an intellectually lazy, dangerous narcissist but what's the worst that can happen?
spoken like someone who's never emigrated. most of the time, it's the other country that'll do the stopping.
On the other hand, you like to bitch about the taxes and freeloaders in California, and it's a million times easier to move to a different state, so suck it up, princess.
Trump also had Steve Bannon on his team, and has now made him Chief Strategist. Hiring people with a history of fighting against equal rights seems OK to you?
