Just a reminder of who the REAL newly elected President will be.


While we are all shaking in our boots over the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency, we need to remember that when his son approached John Kasich about the VP position it was with the understanding that Kasich would do the actual work while Trump went around "making America great." (What ever the fuck that means!)

Mike Pence ended up with that job, so yes Trump is terrifying at the top of the ticket, but Mike Pence is just as terrifying doing the actual job.

    2. California couldn't wait to get rid of Governor Ronald Reagan and you people elected him President. TWICE!

      Even the Republicans in Indiana wanted him gone. Did the RNC listen to it's own people? NO. Because winning was more important. Did Drumpf want him as a running mate? NO. But Pence was forced on him.

      The RNC is as elitist and deaf to it's own people as the DNC is.

      You watch. The next 4 years will be a DISASTER, then the RNC will put up Mike Pence as their nominee in 2020.

    Yup. I have a hard time imagining Trump actually doing the job. In reality, he hasn't worked a job in a long time. And the Presidency is a gruelling job. Figured Pence would get to run it and put his agenda in place. The Democrats in the Senate can make things difficult and I'm sure they will. I've read that there will be plenty of legal challenges should there be a rollback to the dark ages. Four years might seem long, but it will go by quickly and I do believe Trump will disappoint bigly and his followers will realize they were suckered in as part of the reality show that was all about Trump and not them. Promises are cheap - making them reality is something else. And having Pence in charge fulfilling his "religious" mandate won't fulfil Trump's etched in stone promises.

    Trump thinks he can bring back manufacturing (while manufacturing his crap out of the country). He thinks he can re-employ all those blue collar workers, coal miners and steel workers - how I ask when natural gas is cheaper, automation has changed mining (and manufacturing) forever. Kill Obamacare and then see what the backlash is from all those people with insurance costs rising even more bigly, with children who can't be insured any longer and those with pre-existing conditions (themselves or a family member). For every one of Donnie's promises then are barriers.

    I think the next 4 years are going to be a circus, especially with the legal actions that Trump is going to be involved in, before and during his Presidency (starting November 28 LOL).

      Totally agree with your thoughtful and well written post 4:05AM.

      Those conservative, white men that will be appointed to the Supreme Court by this clown car will affect the U.S. for decades after I am dead and gone. (I'm a 68 year old progressive female.)

      What is helping me get through this terrible disappointment and fear, especially fear for others who don't have the advantage of being older, healthy--at least for now, white and retired like me, is to in my mind and sometimes verbally refer to Trump by his family's real name...Drumpf. His grandfather changed their name upon coming to America.

      So, to me, this deplorable president elect, his porn model wife and his children (by three different mothers) are "The Drumpfs".

      I also believe that as the many, very deserved legal hits are landed on The Donald, and he goes berserk with anger, Pence will be the actual President...just like Cheney was for "W".

      I doubt if Trump ever really worked for a day in his life. He was a poor student, never served in the military, was a dilettante playboy for through his forties, at least. He inherited a lot of money and he collects rent and cheats people. That's what "work" is for Donald Trump. How much like the average American is that?

  8. Just look at the GOP budget and you'll see how things are going to work. There won't be term limits but they will let Trump build his wall. Gotta get him out of their hair. Low hanging fruit illegals will be deported quickly but there won't be huge efforts to find. Food stamps, expanded Medicaid, welfare , OBAMA care will be quickly chopped. Tax cuts will happen. Wall Street is celebrating by the way and Elizabeth Warren is neutered. Democratic Party is useless now for at least two years and I say longer. A lot of this is Sanders doing and his stupid supporters along with third party voters. That really cost clinton the election. Unless they are directly enjoying the very real benefits of a Trump and GOP reign, they made a devastating mistake that will cause suffering for years. Social security disability is going to be cut too. Mental health issues will not be recognized for those who don't have money and family support to pay.
    It'll be the time for beautiful people to rule. As for Trump, he has 5 near perfect kids and 8 adorable grandchildren. His children and spouses are the envy of most people.

    2. You can kiss Net Neutrality goodbye too. First 100 days.

      http://www.forbes.com/sites/shelbycarpenter/2016/11/10/heres-what-trump-presidency-will-mean-net-neutrality/#6480f4ef1b15

      "Internet providers like Comcast and AT&T have opposed net neutrality and likely view Trump’s election as a victory, at least on this issue (AT&T’s future is complicated by his opposition of the merger with Time Warner). Dish CEO Chris Ergen expressed optimism Trump would make big changes on net neutrality, telling the Wall Street Journal he expected it to be “challenged or weakened going forward.”

      Trump is likely to appoint Jeffrey Eisenach the new FCC chairman, according to Politico. A fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, he has been an open and public critic of Chairman Wheeler and his policies. So, step one under the new FCC could be rolling back or undermining the Open Internet Order. It could mean the Internet will no longer be classified as a utility, and ISPs will have the option, say, to make consumers pay more for high-speed access to Netflix. This will have a huge effect on streaming services in particular.

      The FCC recently passed new rules that protect consumer privacy by requiring Internet providers to get permission from subscribers before selling their data to third-parties. As with other FCC regulations under Wheeler and Obama, this, too, could be on the chopping block.

      Given Trump’s firm anti-regulatory platform, there’s a good chance we can expect major changes like this that limit–or eliminate altogether–net neutrality protections in America."

    This has been one of my fears too. Trump will be a puppet and Pence the puppet master. All of the hard fought for social issue victories will be for naught. He is an evangelical but they kept that quiet for good reasons. He would like to run the government according to the 10 commandments. I not only fear for my child and grandchildren but for myself and hubby as we are about to enter our 60s. Trump will be a do nothing president and smile for the cameras. That is all he wants.

    I feel sorry for the Americans who voted against Trump.

    The rest deserve the narcissistic reality personality they are stuck with.

    If he was serious about doing right and changing his image, for a start he needs to:

    1. Needs to make apologies to all the people and businesses he screwed over.

    2. Apologize to all the women he sexually harassed.

    3. Apologize to everybody he offended.

    4. Pay back all his taxes.

    5. Release his taxes.

    6. Open all his books and reveal his ties to Russia.

    7. Reimburse and compensate everybody he screwed over.

    It is not a great opening and introduction to America of what his ideas are with the people he is considering for his cabinet. The crooked and incompetence which includes SARAH PALIN, NEWT GINGRICH, RUDY GIULIANI, BEN CARSON, CHRIS CHRISTIE AND OTHERS. Trump's bullshit slogan Make America Great Again reminds me of John McCain's with his bullshit slogan Country First.

    1. He will never apologize for anything.

      However, his little worker bees are busy scrubbing his website. I guess they think that way he can lie and deny deny deny and it will be true.

      But no. There are screen grabs. There are archives. We have video of him saying he is going to ban Muslims. Taking it off the website isn't going to erase it from our memories. (Again, do they not understand the concept of video?)

      http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-website-purge-muslim-ban_us_5824a0eae4b07751c390d88a

      "A controversial statement by President-elect Donald Trump calling for an outright ban on Muslim immigration disappeared from his website in the hours following his unexpected presidential victory.

      The statement, released last December, called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” More than 1.6 billion people worldwide practice Islam, and the statement sparked an immediate backlash around the globe.

      As of late Wednesday, the page announcing the ban was gone from Trump’s campaign site and available only in an archived form, visible here and included below."

      "The deleted language page was part of a sweeping purge of content from the Trump campaign site, which included removing all of Trump’s hundreds of campaign press releases as well as individual pages on the site that had featured endorsements and announcements.

      Also missing Thursday was a section titled “Issues,” which contained short video clips of Trump talking into the camera about an array of topics, including “Political Correctness,” “Trade War” and the opioid epidemic in New Hampshire."

      Didn't Hitler have a similar propaganda arm of his administration?

      There is a workaround to the electoral college thing the states are working on that wouldn't involve eliminating it, which would be difficult but would basically award electors by agreeing to give them to whoever won the popular vote. Naturally only the blue states are signing on to this because, let's face it, the two times in memory the winner of the electoral college did NOT win the popular vote has put Republicans in the Oval Office.

    Years from now, after this fiasco, people will write how Trump was so protected by the devil that he could threaten to shoot people on the street and get away with it. He could rape a girl and get away with it. The list is long for this guy. Then this book will talk about all his atrocities, and there will be many, and how everyone was fooled because of his shameless demagogy. Historians will see how the white man panicked once again because he felt he was being obliterated by the melting pot. History will see how Putin was quietly using Assuange and Snowden to undermine the computer system we rely on in this country to help Trump win. This history book won't be written for a hundred years. Because the world will have to heal and recover from the coming onslaught. The global crisis of hurricanes, floods, and thensome. You were warned, earth. But now, because as humans, we are survivalist, we get through this day, this week, the month, this year, next year, and take what Trump throws our way. The media at this point can not be trusted. He manipulated them so badly, and they fell for it like puppies. Trump is under a demonic protection and he will have his way.
