    At work I'm practically the only one who didn't vote for trump. There are only 5 of us who work here (4 now since one was fired). Funny how you couldn't shut them up leading up to the inauguration. It's been crickets here at work since all the executive orders. One finally broke down today and voiced her disapproval of how he's doing things.

     

    This just confounds me...I saw something on the news with several syrian families, all voted for Trump. These families were hoping to bring family over to live in the states but due to the new immigration crackdown were denied. The families interviewed couldn't comprehend why Trump was doing this. Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. There are other examples of similar stories. What did you think was going to happen? He's checking off everything on his to do list. Sorry, but you get what you pay for folks.

     

    if this story is true than those people are pretty damn stupid jfc.

     

    and yeah same goes for anyone that voted for trump that is somehow surprised by any of this. go and die please.

     

     

    sadly here. And I mean no ill will, but man, what did you expect...

  3. some of the tid bits are so petty and specific that they feel like they ring true.

     

    Also just tweeted that anti-LGBT EO coming this week.

     

    Yea, if this person nails things that are going to happen but not common knowledge, I'll put way more stock in it. Although, if real, how they haven't nailed this staffer by now is pretty highlarious...or another diabolical troll job by #POTUS.

     

    and fuck Davos btw. The one person I hoped that wouldn't be confirmed. alas.

    lol?

     

    Trump signs executive order requiring that for every one new regulation, two must be revoked

    that was actually something he promised to do before he became president.

     

    oh btw: check out this gossip: https://bgr.com/2017/01/30/donald-trump-vs-white-house-rogues/

     

     

    Christ, those rogue tweets, fucked up if even 1/4 true

     

     

    I like the photoshop one. Going back to the touched up hand posts...

    They're hilariously terrifying, but not sure if I can buy these are legitimate accounts of #POTUS. 

  5. that's something that i didn't quite get, wasn't obamba supposed to appoint his own guy after that scallops judge died? how come it didn't happen? i remember reading that he had all the legal authority to do so despite cries and moans of republicans.

     

    Republicans shot Garland down player. Took him out back and put two in him.

    Trump's pick for the supreme court will be announced tonight @ 8pm EST. This is gonna be goooooood...

    Reality TV! But real reality that will have an impact on abortion rights, gay marriage, and millions of other causes, can't wait to see who's gonna fuck up our world/get kicked in the balls by RBG.

     

     

    well he stated this a few days ago...pins & needles

     

    "I think the person I pick will be big, big," Trump said, according to a partial transcript of a Christian Broadcasting Network interview set to air in full on Sunday. "I think evangelicals, Christians will love my pick."

     

  7. Seeing family members clicking 'like' on posts on FB that go:

     

     

    Shutup and stop whining!!! Trump is our president for the next 4 years!!! You lost!!!!  Stop protesting!!!!

     

    etc.

     

    :dry:

     

    Had my first family function post Trump this past Saturday. Picard facepalm inducing. An uncle, whom I know is conservative, but a decent guy, had a trump image on his smartwatch. He proceeded to tell me how he never realized how dangerous & scary the Far left was. I was like "What are you talking about?". He proceeded to talk about the anarchist protestors smashing windows and shit in Washington. Sorry man, those twats have been around for awhile & are generally pretty harmless. He just looked at me. It was my sister's function, so I didn't push the issue to cause a scene. Some of my family go from 1 to 100 after you question one thing about their idealogy. Dialogue is useless.

  8. As much as I dislike the guy, the notion that he himself photoshopped it (or even knew that it was photoshopped) is a bit silly.

     

    More than likely whoever is in charge of... I don't know what the words are... his public image or media specialist?

     

    Naw, he's definitely too lazy to 'shop himself, but if he gave directive to, refer to my previous post.

     

    I work 3D/photoshop all day. I would never think of bothering to 'shop his hand unless someone expressed that to me. Why? because if's fucking ridiculous.

    Unless that's what the guy did just to get a rise out of himself. As a joke to himself. "Oh...gotta get those hands for mein fuhr...warp filter perfect"

    I think I just spun myself in a circle, I could buy that. I use to shop Phil Collins in renderings all the time for personal satisfaction.

  9. Just shows that he doesn't understand photo evidence even if it's right in front of him. His meager brain can only process things that appeal to his ego. There is zero objectivity in his thought processes. How his brain development got stunted at around 5 years but the rest his body managed to reach 70 is a scientific paradox.

     

     

     

    He is a very smart person & has a good brain.

     

     

    “No. 1 in his class at West Point,” Trump said. “Now, I know a lot about West Point. I’m a person that very strongly believes in academics. In fact, every time I say I had an uncle who was a great professor at M.I.T. for thirty-five years, who did a fantastic job in so many different ways, academically—was an academic genius—and then they say, Is Donald Trump an intellectual? Trust me, I’m like a smart persona.” - DT

    This is a bigger shitshow than I had anticipated.

     

    I was betting he'd fill the cabinet with iffy but workable technocrats and double down on a lot of his campaign promises. I was so wrong. Hell I think I would of preferred Ted Cruz over him and I never, never thought I'd say that. 

     

     

    Whoa, whoa, whoa boy.... but you may be right...

     

    Holy shit, I was seriously wondering about this the other day. What a time to be alive...

     

    for cockroaches!

    as a white male and born american citizen i doubt i'll notice much in the way of day to day changes affecting my life other than media coverage. i fear for minorities and women since there's a bunch of bible thumping, corporate nut jobs running most of the gov't and picking scotus

     

    Same here. I feel sorry for my wife. I am concerned for my Hispanic co-workers. I fear for my family members in the military. 

     

    The thing is, the lack of real consequence for us is exactly why Trump recruited so many as supporters. They voted with cynicism and "fuck it" attitudes just as if not more than voters with more sinister motives. They have far less to lose with the false hope they'll somehow benefit.

     

     

    The most frightening thing for me is the rise in ignorance and anti-intellectualism, along with complete detachment from to reason, common sense, and objective reality.  And morality, ethics, justice, etc., but I could go on.

     

    Politics has always been bullshit be we on some quantum leap steez here

     

    +1. 

     

    I talk about this with other like minded co-workers. Young & Old. I chalk it up to a lot of religious zealots funding "their candidate" for their anti whatever bullshit, simmering racism, fear of terrorism & greed. Might have to quote Kevin Spacey "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist". I ponder that quite a bit nowadays.

     

     

    I have close relatives who voted for Trump.  It's baffling and frustrating. They are good, nice people. They are fairly intelligent. They don't espouse any of his nastiness, disdain, and hatred toward anyone in real life or even in most things they do as citizens. But their political alignments and decisions have real consequences and we're seeing that play out.

     

    How did this happen? Echo chamber news and social media, detachment from empathy toward anyone outside of close kin and friends, desire for simple and black and white answers over nuanced complicated ones.

    Liberals do this too, but the big difference is their attitudes are less dangerous and damaging. Obama did not anything this extreme in anyway. Bush was extreme but in a more specific and less widespread way...and without much of the same immorality Trump embraces.

    They channel all of their concerns, disappointments, etc. into one perspective with common themes: blaming government, particularly federal. Blaming the media, mainstream especially. Switching from concerns of terrorism and insecurity from global to a local/national level. And they literally keep voting in the same people screwing them over (the GOP) because they've convinced themselves Democrats are worse.

     

     

    Naw, I hear you Josh. I was just making a generalization of how I see this country at the moment. I was not shocked spray tan- in - chief got elected. I saw all the signs in the ground zero of Macomb County, MI. (One of the 3 counties that put him over). I heard the same thing at family functions. But, I cannot say many are intelligent people. Many huff pubs off Michael Savage, Nugent or Rush Limbaugh's dick. Amongst other racially distasteful views...Racism is alive & well trust me.

     

    My Wife works with many conservative folk. She hears it all. It's the "not looking at the big picture" that concerns me. She hears "I'm Pro-Life, I'm voting for Trump". "Muslicans bad, voting trump". "Gay marriage, no way, voting trump". "Hillary sent emails, voting Trump". "Ther'ye gonna take my guns, voting Trump". It's these microcosms that are forming their macrocosms. It just doesn't compute to me. Take in all the data, then inform your opinion.

     

    But yea...you summed it up more succinctly.

    If this thread gains real steam, I'm sure it will make it to Trump's radar. The Trump hate will no doubt infuriate are narcissist in chief. He can't not want to be adored and praised. In doing so, he's gonna troll us hard. Very hard. We'll be lumped in with CNN, constant watmm hate tweets, Federal investigations, golden showers, etc. But, any publicity will be good publicity for watmm amirite?

     

    thats creepy.. do you think he and his ppl really read all the trending stuff that mentions him? seems like it would be a massive waste of manpower lol

     

     

    then again.....
