[QUOTE=FreakyMe;51514804]Trump will be fed information by his cabinet as it suits their needs, giving them complete control over what he hears and doesn't hear. He is proudly proclaiming that he will be manipulated.[/QUOTE] "hey guys, i'm seein on twitter that we've got boots on the ground in syria, is there anything i should know. I thought we weren't gonna topple assad" "nope just nuts on the internet, go back to the oval office" "OK" ..... "is he gone? OK lets get back to toppling repressive regimes" [editline]11th December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Raidyr;51515667]There is definitely an avenue for it but he is starting from a bad position. He won by narrow margins in a few states this his opponent didn't even bother campaigning in for the most part. His popular vote deficit is 2.8 million which is rather astonishing. If his promises to rejuvenate those Rust Belt states don't come to fruition I can easily see a Democratic populist taking them back and undercutting Trump's only real demographic.[/QUOTE] i see a firebrand bernie going on the war path in 2018, even if trump continues these piecemeal jobs deals, ryan and the republicans are going to have done some serious damage to programs like social security and by the looks of it, obamacare's exchanges will be gone leaving millions (particularly in the rust belt) without insurance coverage again.
can someone please tell me why netanyahu celebrates this man?????
I don't know how you could interpret this as anything other than him wanting to do as little of the actual job as possible. He wants to be a celebrity and do the business type stuff that he's used to. You think you won't forget how much crazy shit he's done in the past year, but seriously...every so often you should go back and look anyway. He's a joke. The worst politicians in Washington are like that guy who's an asshole and doesn't do a good job but he can scrape by because he went to school for it and somebody taught him what to do. You make somebody like that President and they'll at least stand there and pull the levers at the right time. And then there's Trump.

Here's a plan: get a demagogue into office who acts completely incompetent and gets impeached. Now the vice president of your choice is the president, basically completely skipping the democratic system.

People willingly voted for Trump and Pence knowing full well Pence would replace him if something happened.
trump's the kind of person who wouldn't study for a test because he thinks he's really smart, then it comes to the day of the test and he basically just shits himself for 2 hours straight
