Donald Trump Thread aka End of Days

[BigusSchmuck]

The Simpsons predicted this. Moving along..

[NecroPhile]

Hopefully Clinton will finally realize how many people can't stand her and drop out of politics for good.

Now I expect fuck all from Trump.  Other than repealing Obamacare (with no plan on how to replace it), his goals do not align with most Republican congressmen.  Good luck pushing your agenda when 90% of the Democrats will vote against you no matter what and most of the Republicans are people you've fought against, called corrupt scumbags, etc.

Thanks for putting together the list!

I wonder how many people will actually leave. Going off the Bush election, I predict....zero. Why do these people make these claims anyway?

Did you think The Donald was going to win? Neither did they.

Canada's economy and dollar are in shambles, they are an entirely energy dependent country that is getting beat up bad now.  As much as moving is something people have been doing to better themselves since the beginning of time, Canada isn't the best pick right now.

(Sorry Canadians)

[elmer]

Why do these people make these claims anyway?

Dunno ... why did Donald Trump say all of the sh*t that came out of his mouth? 

Well, we all get to live in the world that he makes now ... let's just hope that it's as promising as his supporters believe, and not as awful as his detractors fear.

It's immature, manipulative, extortionist propaganda by people with power, and celebrities do have some level of influencing power and use it to persuade us to vote their way.

You wouldn't wanna lose a national treasure like say Miley Cyrus, right ? Well, you better vote her way if you don't want her to make good on her threat of exodus.

Here's a list of several of them and we'll see just how many make good on their "campaign promise..."

You mean kinda like Trump running for president?

In regards to the link, I loved Sam's remark.  LOL lets see if he goes through with his words.

[ClodBusted]

Oh well guys, have fun with a corporate clown for the next 4 years.

[NecroPhile]

Anyone have a list of conservatives/pundits who said they'd leave the country if hillary won? Or Barack before her?  This kind of stuff goes down on both sides.

Yep, diarrhea always goes down both legs.  Always. 

I don't remember 'em all, but Stephen Baldwin said he'd leave if Obama were elected, and Rush Limbaugh said he'd leave if Obamacare passed.

[Gredler]

For some reason this played over and over in my head watching the whole election results coverage. Not sure why.

[Otaking]

2016 the year of WTF is happening, is this some strange alternate reality I've slipped in to??
Britain leaves the EU and the reality TV lunatic Donald Trump gets nominated as president of the United States of America.
Seriously...    WTF.

Another era of conservative politics is upon us.

Reagan and Thatcher went hand in hand... not sure how current situation will play out.

[MotherGunner]

LOL at the comments here!

Full Disclosure:  Didn't vote Trump (and proud of it!), Didn't vote Hillary either (and proud of it!), I have voted Democrat most my life, except a couple of times.  I am a proud Latino Immigrant, Military Veteran, and a progressive in many ways (Pro Gay/Choice/2A, etc).

But God Damn!   

Leave it up to Democrats to force people to get out there and vote, and cry like little bitches when people actually did!

ha ha ha!

[wildfruit]

After years of dreaming of a world neo liberal socialist paradise I give up. It will never happen. If you can't beat them, join them.

[OldRover]

The only thing I'm sad about is that Lena Dunham's child-molesting ass won't be leaving the country.

[ToyMachine78]

Y'all libtard fuckers. At least you like Turbob.

[ToyMachine78]

UPDATE: Music has been cancelled in America. Please check back in four years.

I guess if you like pop top 40 the voice hip hop bullshit.

Come to the metal side my son.

[ToyMachine78]

Hah, that's pretty clever for a republicunt. I mean, that you can use a keyboard.

Yeah... You know, we're all rural and unedumacated

[Joe Redifer]

They saw it as a challenge. Lose to an election that's almost assuredly handed to you. How could anyone lose to Trump??? They found a way. Probably could have won with Bernie but we'll never know. Hillary's supporters certainly didn't help with their marginalizing and mocking of non-supporters. And now they are at it x10. Great game plan.

They didn't want to vote in an unconvicted felon.

The shit she did, exposing state secrets to the internet via a private server and her aides and housekeeper.... Inexcusable.

I work on gov contracts and have access to all service members PII and PHI. I have a clearance, nothing like the Secretary would have though... And if I exposed the data I have access too on a private server, you better bet I'd be sitting in jail, with fines up the wazoo.

Don't forget the foundation investigation is still ongoing. We haven't heard the last of that.

F* Hillary and the Clintons. All we can hope is that she retires, and we never have to see her smug mug in the political arena again.

[ToyMachine78]

You can lead a toymachine to water, but you can't make him think.

Whatever... I didn't agree with too big to fail... And I don't agree with too big to jail.

We'll see. Lets keep an open mind.

I did so with Obama, you should do so with trump.

[nectarsis]

Funny with the I'm moving to Canada x person says... you never hear anybody say they're going to Mexico.....theyre all racist against hispanics!!

[Otaking]

Funny with the I'm moving to Canada x person wind.... you never hear anybody sah they're going to Mexico.....theyre all racist against hispanics!!

Fuck it all, I'm moving to North Korea

[ToyMachine78]

I like Cheetos. Don't try to say I don't!

But you never kept an open mind with Obama. I never held it against you, though. I couldn't care less about a person's political views unless I'm fucking them, I just like returning fire. Nightwolve is a friend and he is about as rightwinger as you get. My roommate is an ardent Trump supporter, yet still a best bud.

If you want to take our relationship to the next level, though, I will truly start caring more about your views. BUTT, we have to consummate it first.

How... I haven't even charged my JO Crystal yet..... I'm not worthy!


Edit: PS...I kept an open mind with Obama until his healthcare plan, the one shoved down everyone's throat, caused my premiums to double.

[TurboXray]

Come to the metal side my son.

Meh. Metal is for those people that haven't mentally left their teenager angst years.

(Edit: wrong quote) But yeah, to the Trump supporters.

 So instead of waiting another four years to elect a decent candidate, you elected a fucking lunatic with zero qualifications, and the temperament of a child. Makes perfect sense.

 There was a lady that posted that she's got "shafted" by her party and politicians, so while she didn't agree with Trump, she voted for him so he could "shaft" the politicians. That's just fantastic; you got fucked, so just pass it along - and by indirection fuck the rest of us. I didn't realize selfishness was a virtue of the conservative party.

And your musical genre of prference is?

Also, what great experience did Obama bring? Community Organizing? Lol!

[TurboXray]

And your musical genre of prference is?

Pretty much anything not country -but right now, nothing specific. I've gotten tired of every thing. But yeah, I can't do metal anymore. I used to like 90's punk too.. can't do that anymore either. The angst is gone; metal doesn't fill that void anymore.

Also, what great experience did Obama bring? Community Organizing? Lol!

Let's see; the country didn't implode, we've recovering from the recession, obamacare actually helped out people that live with lifelong chronic illnesses (which were allowed to be dropped before hand) - I know of two close people that are able to afford treatment because of it, that they would have paid full price with no insurance before it. Amazing? No. Better than Bush? Pretty much. He's pretty average; no complaints. Nothing directly benefited me that I can remember, but nothing hurt me either. So that's a win. We saw some social progression under his watch (gay marriage. I'm not gay, but glad that shit is finally sorted out). I dunno - I've never been all over his nuts, so maybe someone else could chime in.

Angst metal thing seems like a personal problem. I don't think metal = teenage angst lol

Obama comments are fair. My biggest deal with him is the affordable care act. It doubled my premiums, and I work in Health Care Admin, so understand the bullshit with it. Besides that, mainly think his foreign policy is spineless.

[BigusSchmuck]

In other news 20,000 people voted for Harambe the dead Gorilla. Seriously.

[TurboXray]

Maybe the teenage angst was the only connection I've had to metal. Maybe I never really had a true connection with it. I tend to like lyricless metal though. It's pretty great in Lords of Thunder, if you call that metal (without lyrics, I'm not sure you can).

Nailed it, Joe.  People who supported Trump eventually did so in private to avoid being mocked and labeled, thus not being poled, thus throwing off everyone.  Bernie was clearly fucked over by the Clinton camp so agreed. We'll never know.  She lost to Trump. This means she was truly a shitty candidate.  I personally feel indifferent over this, too busy making ends meet.

[crazydean]

Those damn goverrats. They got us arguing over important topics such as how great heavy metal music is. Next thing is going to be talk of how great FEKA is compared to the turbob.

[TurboXray]

What was interesting is that she won the popular vote, but there's not much talk about it. I guess it's more like an interesting footnote into this whole thing.

What a great video. Hilarious!

[DeshDildo]

Hypocrisy in politics has always been there but it seems to be magnified 10 fold this year.  While the right is definitely not immune to this I find it ironic that the same liberals calling for unity after 2012 are the ones bitching, complaining and blatantly bad mouthing the new President elect.  The party that claims to preach tolerance and be against bigotry are the ones out there rioting and burning things down at this very moment.

Lets not forget that Trump is not a true conservative and alienated the GOP so the fact that they still hold the majority of Congress may mean nothing.  I am also tired of people bitching about how this election came down to 2 extremely terrible candidates yet only 9% of the country actually voted in the primaries.

[Bloufo]

[Emerald Rocker]

The party that claims to preach tolerance and be against bigotry are the ones out there rioting and burning things down at this very moment

Over the past few years, an entire generation has learned that protests and riots are how people communicate in this country.  And unfortunately, there hasn't been enough distinction (I'm looking at the media here) between peaceful protests and illegal/violent protests.

Also consider that our country's liberal youth has never experienced a presidential loss (for people age 29 and under, their first election was Obama/McCain).  This pain is new to them.

I am perfectly fine with thousands of people expressing their pain through peaceful protest.  They have a right to be heard as they learn a hard lesson about how to live with people who have different opinions.  But I have no sympathy and no desire to understand children who try to impose their beliefs through destruction or violence.  I hope these post-election protests remain peaceful.  Apparently there was some shooting in Seattle.

[MotherGunner]

That's right! I almost forgot Trump was a Democrat and a Clinton donor for more years than he's been a Republican.

[DeshDildo]

Null, I'm trying not to generalize.  I apologize if that's how it came off.  Yes, there have been violent protests 2 nights in a row in the bay area and already a petition out there for California to secede from the union. 

I identitfy as conservative because I believe in smaller government and being fiscally responsible.  I am also fairly liberal on social issues (WTF do I care if 2 guys want to get married, or you can go to the store and buy some weed)?  I vote comservative because those issues are most important to me as I feel it is the core strength of any governement, business etc. and I feel most social issues can be handled on the state level.  That being said, neither candidate was worthy of my vote.  It just goes to show my original point.  The primariew are the most important part of the election!  Instead of bitching, take the losses on the chin and be sure to vote everytime you can.

[NecroPhile]

I think the whole email server thing hurt Clinton more than anything else.  It's funny, though, seeing as most people don't care even a little bit that so many prominent Republicans (George W Bush, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Rick Perry, etc.) also ran goverat business through their own private servers.

What was interesting is that she won the popular vote, but there's not much talk about it. I guess it's more like an interesting footnote into this whole thing.

Yeah, that shit bugs me.  The electoral college needs to go, or at least each state should split their votes (like Maine and Nebraska do) to better represent the popular vote.

[jlued686]

I'm looking forward to the Republican Utopia we've been promised. Now that they control every branch of government, we're gonna win so much we're gonna get sick of winning!

USA! USA! USA!

LoT and GoT were my absolute favorite discs to pop into a CD player and listen to. Reminds me of Symphony X, Yngwie, and even Judas Priest a bit.
