Keep it up, I'm enjoying watching you guys in meltdown mode you claimed LegendKiller would experience.....LOL
That is the real rub right there. There has been endless deriding, mocking, and poking with sharp sticks. The proper thing to do is apologize, admit you were wrong, and take your lumps like a man. Might even discover there are not many lumps to take when you are willing to endure them with stoicism and honor.

see now, more times than not I would, but when the prez-elect was instrumental in the character assassination of the sitting president, along with numerous other actions, I gotta go with fvck him. he's scum.

You guys are spinning like tops over Trump winning, posting useless drivel left and right. It's pure comedy watching you guys...LOL
This from the guy who hid during nearly the entire election and now comes back to gloat. I have way more respect for LK, at least he actually fought in the trenches.

This is hilarious. Trump supporters mocking the other side for losing it. They always were losing it at the thought of Trump being president and that they knew Trump won't do a single shit he promised. Now that it has become a reality, they are merely pointing it out to the idiot supporters that they have been duped. But the Trump supporters have no recourse, have no explanation so they are just pointing and laughing that Trump haters are losing it. No - they are just, once again, saying that same thing they did before.

This guy is a liar and that he is just saying the catchy phrases to get in the office ("Build the wall", "Drain the swamp", "Make America great again"). Now is when we start to see it in front of our eyes that he won't do shit, Trump supporters have no way to defend that. The other side (people who didn't want Trump to win) already lost, now starts the long, slow and painful loss of Trump supporters when they realize that they got taken by a con man.

I've heard of people like Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich possibly having roles in Trump's presidency.

But then again, this is not surprising. Just like Rudy exploiting 9/11 for his personal gain, Trump's been exploiting the hate his followers have. These people deserve each other.

Some people wanted to see a certain type of man who says a certain type of things be elected. They didn't care at all about any disgusting comments he made or the immoral things he has done. Nope.

Do you think these people care about anything the guy does? I highly doubt it. They are totally blind (not unlike the Democrats and their followers).

No one is serious. Everyone is deluded. If people were serious, they would not vote for anybody.

Nobody?

This is just the start. This guy is going to put our country 40-50 years back - I guess that is the "Great America" all his supporters wanted. I still don't understand the hatred towards EPA. Sure it has been overreaching on some regards, but overall it is protecting our right to uncontaminated natural resources. The early 20th century manufacturing that was more or less unregulated, ruined our waters to the point that we have been spending decades cleaning up our rivers. That is a costly lesson learned and now denying climate change and continuing to do what we are doing will ruin things for our future generation. We owe it to our children and grandchildren.

I am incredibly disappointed with his assumed cabinet appointments based on who they are and what I can assume will be their policy positions because of it.

Guiliani and Christie I can sort of live with. You have to be a northeasterner to appreciate what they bring to the table. I do not want lobbyists destroying the EPA and FCC.

I am ok with a return to sanity on interest rates

You can live with Christie? Isn't there a good chance he's going to jail? Or has that past?

I believe a few members of his staff are going to jail. I don't believe there is evidence of his direct involvement, but it should shatter any chances of his ever running for President. However, to the extent that he can be useful, I would rather a Christie than a Palin find a place on Trump's cabinet.

Its not like he has a deep bench to choose from.

drumpf set a pretty low bar as to what is and isn't acceptable with a president. child-rape may disqualify you, but purposefully causing traffic issues on a highly travelled bridge will be what president drumpf calls 'tuesday'

Giuliani is a disgusting person who exploited 9/11 for his personal gain.

I suppose I could stick my head in the sand and continue to let China and India do the polluting for me. All we did was outsource pollution.

The environment and an industrialized society will continue to run counter to one another, and I dont see anyone coming to the table with a viable solution.

He was an effective and tough prosecutor and a great mayor. It is unfortunate that as of late he has allowed himself to become a useful idiot, but political ambitions seem to do that to a lot of people

In other words, you're sticking your head in the sand, ignoring the fact that Trump is raping you while everyone around you is wondering why you're taking it.

Do you think these picks are acceptable so far? Yes or no and why?

I have no idea who they are. I'll let you know if I object or not.
Here you go... you may not recognize some of them as they are such outsiders :rolleyes:
Leaders in his transition include former Rep. Mike Rogers, former Reagan Attorney General and Heritage Foundation fellow Edwin Meese, former President of Heritage Edwin Feulner, former Bush administration official and lobbyist Christine Ciccone, former Dick Cheney adviser Ado Machida, former Senate Budget Committee staffer Eric Ueland and Sen. Jeff Sessions' former chief of staff Rick Dearborn. The effort is chaired by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Trump counts former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Sessions as close advisers

It isn't my fault that you don't know what Trump meant by "drain the swamp". Basically what you're doing is called a strawman. Take a break cupcake.
