replace obamacare with a single payer system? liberals have wanted that for years. it's republicans that said that socialized medicine would be the same as approving "death squads."
trump would become a liberal icon and wildly considered by the left to be the greatest president since lincoln if he even hinted that he supported single payer. it's the republicans -- each and every one of them -- that would 100% be against it. will be interesting to see what his plans for healthcare are though.
lol at single-payer
I'd put a Trump poster on my wall. I'd start a Trump superpac.

I think you mean "death panels" not "death squads." Death squads were what Reagan illegally funded in Central America in the 1980s using money from drug sales and sales of arms to Iran.replace obamacare with a single payer system? liberals have wanted that for years. it's republicans that said that socialized medicine would be the same as approving "death squads."

I see much similarity between the arc of politics & economics in Britain and the US. This might account for the interest guys like LordoftheFraud have in our story. It resonates with them.
The disaffected insecure white working class (precariat) in the US. Instead of the socialist leap they chose to turn their back on the Democrats who failed to give them a handout. Everyone else gets something but not them.
So they give the middle finger to the status quo and took a shot from half court with Trump. He will disappoint as he cannot change that chart. Post Trump, America will continue its socialist trajectory with discussions of single payer insurance etc.
You gotta smile if you consider Germany in the early 30's. Can't win a war. National pride slipping. When the stock bubble finally bursts the pin might be completely pulled.
If you think that this election was just some crazy anomoly - and I think everyone does - then you still don't get it. If you, like Druff, hold out hope for a rebuilding of the Republican Party then, again, you don't understand what you witnessed.
First step, even with Trump, will be a liveable minimum wage for the service economy crowd. It's a backwards socialism.
The country is in the throes of change. Of course, what you end up with is the inexorable march toward Britain. Germany would be fine but we are too fucked up and recently they fucked up their good run.
Giving the public the right to vote. It was a fine experiment.
I will tell you this, democracy took a black eye. As the world witnessed our crass election they had to laugh. China and Russia gotta be feeling pretty smug right now

first time i heard about this was some black complaining that a white person shouldnt be yelling at a black woman after what "we" did to this country by electing trump
christie told to take a knee, pence will now organize trump's cabinet.
i think trump recognizes that hes going to get impeached, im just not sure if he understands that the first and last dagger will likely come from conservative republicans.
also and im 100% not being snide; when was the last time a conservative government actually did something to benefit working class whites?
thats not a trolljoke, im asking to be educated here.

He really is working hard to fuck this up. Like getting Florida AG Pam Bondi to his transition team. Best known from accepting a 25k donation from the Trump Foundation when her office was considering joining the lawsuit against Trump University and then chose not to. Notice the pay connected with the play. The icing on the cake was Trumps use of his own tax exempt charitable foundation to pay for the donation, something that's completely illegal and requires no effort to prove (yay slushfunds).
You really are spending too much time on Facebook in your bizarre virtual life. Clinton lost, Trump won, get the fuck over it. Piece of advice: Go to one of those $100 a plate sushi places you claim to frequent and sit down at the bar and talk to someone from the opposite sex. Your whole world can potentially change.
You are totally unhinged.
Flying under the cover of course is "Wall" Street. Trump should start off with a good look at the untouchables. Banks, Wall Street, the insurance industry, conglomerates who profit from their profits while minimum wage is the golden calf. These areas are typically given a pass despite their wealth and therefore their influence on who can make that possible.

I'm starting to think this Trump thing may just be the ticket.
If he sticks to half of what he said he's just the guy to call out the string pullers mentioned above. I'm sure every president is give long list of "friends we don't bother"

There have been faithless electors before, but only a handful and never more than 1 or 2 a year. It would take nearly 40 of them to hand the election to Hillary. So it's not even a possibility worth discussing.so, buckle up, because none of this is official until the actual electoral votes get cast on december 19th.

Off The Wall
Hey Mike. You’ve been very quiet. Everything OK? I just wanted you to know that I voted for you. I was also hoping you might explain what the hell happened on Tuesday, and say something to make me feel better about my fellow man. Thanks,
Carol Savoy
Hi Carol
Last Friday, my dog posted a video that featured a man licking a cat with the aid of a device that’s designed for the specific purpose of making it easier for people to lick their cats.I’ve been silent ever since, because frankly, I couldn’t think of a better way – metaphorical or otherwise - to express my feelings about this election cycle. The entire country it seems, has been preoccupied with finding a way to lick a cat without actually putting their tongue on it.
Too oblique? Too weird? Ok, how about this analysis:
Back in 2003, a very unusual TV pilot called Dirty Jobs, Forrest-Gumped its way onto The Discovery Channel and found an audience – a big one. For Discovery, this was a problem. You see, Dirty Jobs didn’t look like anything else on their channel. It wasn’t pretty or careful. It took place in sewers and septic tanks, and featured a subversive host in close contact with his 8-year old inner child who refused to do second takes. Everyone agreed that Dirty Jobs was totally “off-brand” and completely inappropriate for Discovery. Everyone but the viewers. The ratings were just too big to ignore, so the pilot got a green-light, and yours truly finally got a steady gig.
But here's the thing - Dirty Jobs didn’t resonate because the host was incredibly charming. It wasn’t a hit because it was gross, or irreverent, or funny, or silly, or smart, or terribly clever. Dirty Jobs succeeded because it was authentic. It spoke directly and candidly to a big chunk of the country that non-fiction networks had been completely ignoring. In a very simple way, Dirty Jobs said “Hey - we can see you,” to millions of regular people who had started to feel invisible. Ultimately, that’s why Dirty Jobs ran for eight seasons. And today, that’s also why Donald Trump is the President of the United States.
I know people are freaked out, Carol. I get it. I’m worried too. But not because of who we elected. We've survived 44 Presidents, and we'll survive this one too. I’m worried because millions of people now seem to believe that Trump supporters are racist, xenophobic, and uneducated misogynists. I'm worried because despising our candidates publicly is very different than despising the people who vote for them.
Last week, three old friends – people I’ve known for years - each requested to be “unfriended” by anyone who planned on voting for Trump. Honestly, that was disheartening. Who tosses away a friendship over an election? Are my friends turning into those mind-numbingly arrogant celebrities who threaten to move to another country if their candidate doesn’t win? Are my friends now convinced that people they’ve known for years who happen to disagree with them politically are not merely mistaken – but evil, and no longer worthy of their friendship?
For what it’s worth, Carol, I don’t think Donald Trump won by tapping into America’s “racist underbelly,” and I don’t think Hillary lost because she’s a woman. I think a majority of people who voted in this election did so in spite of their many misgivings about the character of both candidates. That’s why it’s very dangerous to argue that Clinton supporters condone lying under oath and obstructing justice. Just as it’s equally dangerous to suggest a Trump supporter condones gross generalizations about foreigners and women.
These two candidates were the choices we gave ourselves, and each came with a heaping helping of vulgarity and impropriety. Yeah, it was dirty job for sure, but the winner was NOT decided by a racist and craven nation – it was decided by millions of disgusted Americans desperate for real change. The people did not want a politician. The people wanted to be seen. Donald Trump convinced those people that he could see them. Hillary Clinton did not.
As for me, I’m flattered by your support, but grateful that your vote was not enough to push me over the top. However, when the dust settles, and The White House gets a new tenant, I’ll make the same offer to President Trump that I did to President Obama – to assist as best I can in any attempt to reinvigorate the skilled trades, and shine a light on millions of good jobs that no one seems excited about pursuing. http://bit.ly/2fG1SxI
Like those 3 million “shovel ready” jobs we heard so much about eight years ago, the kind of recovery that Donald Trump is promising will require a workforce that’s properly trained and sufficiently enthused about the opportunities at hand. At the moment, we do not have that work force in place. What we do have, are tens of millions of capable people who have simply stopped looking for work, and millions of available jobs that no one aspires to do. That's the skills gap, and it's gotta close. If mikeroweWORKS can help, we're standing by.
If not, I suppose we'll just have to find another way to lick the cat.
Mike
Despite the track record you can tell when someone is talking out of their ass when they type a dramatic, "I....I", as if he's acting. When you're truly dumb, as you show every indication of being, you don't have the facilities to judge what isn't dumb.so, buckle up, because none of this is official until the actual electoral votes get cast on december 19th.

For the good of the country let's all just hope that Mike Pence gets shot or dies in some type of accident.
Im sure this is the one thing this entire board can agree on.
why is everyone freaking out? it will be revealed before the end of the month that russia hacked the voting machines

Resonates indeed. We have both made similar leaps despite FIERCE protest from at least half of our populations.
People here felt they needed to take a chance. Mainly for economic and migration reasons. But the people taking on the most risk were not the people who wanted out.
This is what happens when politicians take only half the country with them when setting out and implementing their policies.
A wound animal is not predictable. That's why nobody predicted Brexit or Trump other than the wounded animals themselves.
