"Some" people around here might pretend they have taken over by supporting then electing this Trump thing, but you are wrong.

I am pro life myself, however R vs W is the law of the land and that law will never change.
You could clone Ted Cruz nine times over and place them all on the high court, and not one word of R vs W would they be allowed to change.
Women would revolt like this country has never seen revolt before.

And F... me?
I say F... YOU if you think for one second that any woman would or should "move" from one state to another state for any reason.
Abortion, marriage, for any reason.
Sorry.... but here in America it just doesn't work that way, and never will.
And that not only applies abortion rights, that applies to marriage as well.

Now you know exactly why people are protesting in the streets, and will forever protest in the streets every single day for the entire 4 years if necessary.
And you also now know exactly why Vladimir Putin loves Donald Trump.
You think Putin did not see this coming? Crossing his fingers that Trump would be elected? So Trump and his party could tear America apart at the seams?
Putin? He's loving this.

"Some" people have this delusion that just because a racist bigoted old fart was elected president, the other half of American is going to silently sit by and witness their own destruction.
Wrong again.
Women want abortion rights, gays want marriage rights, illegals want citizenship rights, and Muslims want religious freedom rights.
And they all shall have exactly that. Every single one of them.
As this train wreck known as Donald Trump plows thru America mowing down everything in its path, our side will grow while your side will shrink.
That, I can promise you.

Typically yes, after any election the country will stand behind the new leader.
But Donald Trump is not typical, and that rule no longer applies.
Not when it involves real people, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness.
And eventually those deplorable's that crawled out from under their rock to enable Donald Trump will be forced back down under their rock.
Haven't you heard? Good always triumphs over evil.
At least over here in America it does.

Great interview of our new first family. I support and respect the office of the President of the United States, once again.
I thought most people respect the office, regardless of whoever is in power, they just don't respect the person in that office. It just so happens that a lot of people don't respect Donald John Trump, and I suspect he'll have to go a long way to earn some.

Maybe instead of embarrassing yourself acting like an angry, angsty teen because he didn't get what he wants, you should take Trump's display of opulence as a sign that if you work hard (and smart) you can achieve that level of wealth in the land of opportunity.
Work hard and smart? The only reason he's rich is because he's had a safety net his entire life. His father bailed him out from bankruptcy multiple times, his creditors had to force him to change in the 90's for fear of him bringing them down with him, and he's spent half his life refusing to pay for work done. Nothing about him has ever included hard or smart work, it's all been about being born into privilege.

I have no idea why others don't see this blatantly obvious fact about drumpf.

Trump tried to be conciliatory and nonthreatening, but the implications of many of his answers didn't seem to occur to him. He answers off the top of his head and never thinks things through. Stahl did a Ok job of following to try to get details.

Some were encouraging - he won't repeal Obamacare unless something is put in its place, which is better than the Republican position to repeal it first and then worry about a replacement eventually when they get around to it.

Others were disturbing, like when he thought it would be OK if Roe v Wade was repealed because people could go to states where abortion is legal. Sort of like telling starving people to "move to where the food is".

As with everything, the devil is in the details, and Trump has never been interested in details. His management style is to give vague instructions ("Make it look classy and great!") and no feedback until the project is far along, where he'll say either, "I love it; you're a genuis" or "It stinks; you're disgraceful."

We'll see...I'm gonna try to remain positive
