Before and after presidency:

I've noticed that there is less of it and it's more grey, instead of a nicotine yellow hue.
His hair, in the last seven to fourteen days.
I think it's a portent. This isn't going to be all that bad. We're all going to survive til the Obamas move back in come 2020.
I am fairly certain Trump will end women's suffrage by then.Quote:

Spoiler: Show
I never said that he did. It's a joke, like his qualifications for the job.
The American people spoke, just like the Canadian people did with Trudeau. All we can do is move on and see what happens in the future that affects the world.Quote:

Trudeau's policies on immigration are failing, as well as the tax profits of legalizing Mary Jane, the projections are way off to what they were expecting...
The people have spoken, and what is done is done, now we just have to see:unsure:
So far Trump looks a wee bit different when he was sitting beside President Obama today(actually scared shit in my opinion, not so cocky).
And really, my opinion about the complainers of Trump, especially the ones who put Sander's or Gorilla, or someone else other than Clinton on the ballad, or didn't vote at all have no say or don't have the right to complain ever!!
I feel that Trump didn't win, but yet Clinton lost, and 200 million were registered plus to vote and just over 100 million did, what outcome were you expected knowing that Trump supporters were loyal, be it quiet voters or not..
The bottom line truth is we will just have to see what is going to really happen, and who he appoints in pivotal positions to advise him..
Like Giuliani as attorney general :slap:
I wish all Americans good luck:01::01:
PS. to Idol...
Trudeau already on the media ready to negotiate NAFTA:rolleyes:... What can Trump do raise the Duty/Tax 35% on imports to the US (Cars, Unrefined Gas, etc)??
Is it possible??
On second thought, I think the real point here is that someone actually had to do research to prove that it wasn't something that he actually didn't say.:blink:
But saying that also depends on what media you were paying attention too...Quote:

I can really say that Clinton looked corrupted in many ways yes, but who isn't in Politics??
Trump bragging and spewing out crap i think really related to uneducated Americans and you could see it in the voting and rallies, forget about the crap with the KKK and all of that, people think his business sense is him and not Bankers and Financial advisers, and voted for him are not very intelligent, and didn't they research how many times he went bankrupt or what he really owns or just uses his name??
Even when the guy is not willing to show his tax returns and not one fortune 500 CEO ever endorsed him should have brought up a red flag...
But like his TV show he is a very good entertainer and knew how to talk to the uneducated..
Again Trump had a large amount of followers, and they went out and voted, people who didn't want him and didn't vote for Clinton, liking her or not, voted for Trump..
That is the bottom line and nothing is going to change that...
But really Idol, what can they really do about NAFTA when it comes to Canada, or you really don't have a opinion??
Myself, when it comes to an economic position, you can't tax imports more and be cost effective for the US population, the reason you do have competitive imports to give choice for people to afford things to make them feel better and improve there lives...
This is another meme that is going round...

Also false by the way.

I think the point is, people will believe any old shit they want to believe if it fits in with their view of the world.
Although this, this definitely IS true...

As we're doing funny pictures, here's another couple that made me laugh...

Emperor in waiting...
I see that from saying that Obamacare was the worst legislation ever he now is saying that he really likes the pillars of the legislation.
Hand on to your hats this could be a interesting ride. Part of me thinks that Donald just wanting to prove he could win this. Actual policies may or may not come later.
I still don't think he wanted to win this, he just wanted to increase his market "value" in negotiations with NBC for the next season of The Apprentice or some other dumbfuck show.
Remember when he was so amazed that he could shoot anyone in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue and would get away with it?
I do believe that was genuine.
This is a pretty dumb theory. He's been looking for the right time to run for nearly two decades. He's done it to feed his megalomania.Quote:

I'm hoping that he's humbled by the next two months and has a different attitude for four years. I'm not too optimistic though.
And all these twatbags running around yelling about racism and sexism and such is just as infuriating. We have clear and established laws regarding those sorts of civil rights issues and they aren't going to be overturned. What people should be worried about is his protectionist/nationalist policies and what their effects will be.
There's old legislation providing some protections against discrimination, but it's a dynamic situation. New discrimination laws are being proposed constantly, and additional protections against discrimination are getting blocked in houses as well. Some are overtly - ist (voter ID laws by design approach, bathroom laws, workplace laws), whereas others just allow personal judgment to flourish (stop and frisk, personal drug possession). It's really not hard to find a plethora of examples for these.Quote:

"Deplorables" trumped Clinton!..
There is a possibility Trump will be a good president. It is possible that he will replace Obamacare with something that is more suitable for the needs of the American people. It is possible that a lot of blue-collar workers will find jobs under his administration... We just have to wait and see!
You are usually smarter than this, Oleg. Having an off day? :unsure:Quote:

Plus if you go by the whole "lead by example'" thing then everyone can look forward to not paying any taxes for at least the next 18 years. :)
Fun fact, the majority of Americans now list Facebook as their main source of news. I only wish that I was making this up.
http://www.journalism.org/2016/06/15...ws-media-2016/
The scarier thing, if the possiblity exsisted of anything being scarier, is that your what you gravitate towards online now basically shapes what news you are getting from sites like FB and Twitter. Directed news or something I think it's been called.
I'm fairly certain the campaign slogan was a typo, it should have read, "Make America gape again."Quote:

Meh. Trump sucks but shows like Colbert are just cherry picking and pandering.
Only fair as that's what won Trump the election.Quote:

Technically fair has to do with both nothing and everything. On Trump though I'm firmly in the better he succeed as President for the good of all people than fail as President so a bunch of idiots can then say "Look, I told you so".
There is an important element in what Colbert is doing- 'reporting' on what Trump is doing to a mass audience who may not otherwise be aware of the details. What Trump is doing looks pretty damn shitty. His campaign was a ridiculous farce- which is what the electoral college is supposed to protect us from. I'm not likely to sit through the news, but I can stomach current events if done with humor. I'd rather receive them in this packaging than the likes of CNN or Fox. The end result is the same, though. Trump is NOT qualified for the position he's in.Quote:

Really what the Fuck can go wrong :innocent: :devil: :fear:
Edit: And what is going on with the nut bag good old Mayor Giuliani :unsure:
Meh, wake me in 4 years IF there's a world left... :dry:
