I guess it was too much work to fact-check that HE did have a faulty microphone, huh?

@heartrick:

I'm not American but as trump is the president in the US now, I don't want to go there again.

After having visited and vacationed in over 30 countries all around this globe, and having been to all 50 states in this United States, I can tell you there is nowhere on earth I would rather live. Hysterical overreaction to Trump is unfounded. That having been said; I think our economy will survive just fine without your money.  ;D

@tempbo:

Oh, I'm sure he'll let Mike Pence do the anti-LGBT stuff while he stands back and watches. There are none so easy to fool as those who want to believe I guess.

The Democrats figured this out decades ago, and with the MSM have cultivated a population that has lost critical thinking skills.

@cannonmc:

Heavens, haven't you lot got over it yet.

What we need is a good forum administrator to police this so we don't don't have long rambling messages with huge quoted replies 

Why do you care if you don't live in America? Why bother making a snide remark ^^^ when it doesn't affect you. That attitude is part of the problem– it is an attempt to stifle free and open discourse because it might be "messy."

@alibix:

The electoral college is still flawed. Have a look at this video. It doesn't achieve it's purpose.
Youtube Video

I have nowhere said the Electoral College was without flaws. I personally believe in a system where each state gets 1 vote to elect the President. He is the head of the Federal Government. A Government that is meant to serve its states, but that is neither here, nor there, and again does not take away that the argument that someone won the popular vote proves "anything" is a fallacy.

@bob5678:

Where's the lie? He's going to appoint a justice on the supreme court soon that will declare religious freedom laws are legal. He's going to reverse Obama's anti-LGBT directives. Starting with the directive he issues on trans people being able to use the bathroom of their choice. (You probably don't care though because you're one of those coward white gays who sat around and let everyone else fight for gay rights.)

I was part of a lawsuit against the University of South Alabama for discrimination of gay people. At the time I was only studying there during the summer when I was home from the University of Chicago.
My husband and I were involved with civil union fight in Connecticut, and were the first couple in New London County to to have a civil union.

Now, as to your lie, point to ONE example during the campaign or since his win that says his FIRST PRIORITY is to appoint a judge to overturn Obergefell. For one thing, to even tackle that, it would take TWO justices, since Scalia voted in the dissent. Also, the court in its history is loathe to overturn any law that would immediately affect the legitimacy of its citizens. As he has said, gay marriage is settled law.

As to religious freedom laws, I don't care how you feel, but we are all guaranteed the free exercise of our religion. Now, if the Court has never found that religious exemption is an acceptable reason for discrimination because of race, sex, age, or religious affiliation what would make you think they would suddenly change 250 years of precedent? At the end of the day, they use logic, reason, and precedent, not personal opinion to issue their rulings.

So, use some common sense and quit spreading propaganda.

@ILBear:

All my gay friends are very concerned and afraid of this new administration. I know several couples who are married and worry, once the new SCOTUS is appointed, a ruling could come down which would affect their marriage. The country just took 2 steps backwards in equality.

My husband has been in business with Trump for 20 years, and used to be a big donor for HRC and the DNC. I can tell you with 100% certainty– gay people have NOTHING to worry about regarding Donald J. Trump.

@kaeyresky:

not really worried about Trump. The VP is concerning, though.

I am more worried about Muslim extremists, I mean they would rather kill you than look at you, but keep worrying about that sky falling.

@MrMazda:

@alma:

@Lorbenia:

Trump is going to erase all of the progress in education, civil rights, and civil liberties made in the last 30+ years.

I hope that won't happen .

Get ready for it… The first on Trump's chopping block is gay rights and equal marriage.

BULL-FUCKING-SHIT! Why lie about the man to spread hysteria?

@MrMazda:

@chiwut:

Impeachment was mentioned earlier here and It did get me to wonder what it would really take for that to happen?

The answer to that is simple… Trump either needs to be convicted of his pending sexual offense charges involving a minor, OR he needs to get caught pulling a Bill Clinton and getting head in the Oval Office by an intern :lolp:

There are zero criminal charges pending against Donald Trump for sexual assault of a minor. Really, is it that hard to google shit before you spread misinformation?

Trump trumps Clinton

@MancCub:

Yes the left wing anger has no meaning.

Even though it looks like Hillary is going to win the popular vote by about 500k votes and therefore Trump has no mandate from the people.

Even though the FBI have gone to a FISA court to investigate Trump links with Russia and the findings will be sealed.

Even though the FBI interfered with the election.

Even though the KKK are holding a Trump victory march next month in NC and there have been reports of many terrorist attacks as a result of the election.

And that's only what's known this week, be prepared for much more.

I can't imagine what people would have to protest about, but maybe they should have the armed revolution the Trumpsters were planning  ;D

Well, you obviously don't understand that we are a democratic republic, and how our electoral system works. Paying any attention to popular vote is ridiculous, because it isn't a true barometer. Many Trump voters in "blue states" don't bother voting just as many HRC voters in "red states" don't vote. Couple that with those voters that would vote with the majority in their state that don't vote and you have exactly no idea what an actual popular vote would be.

The other things that never ceases to amaze me about those who lean to the left and how they preach tolerance– except apparently that tolerance is only afforded to people if they think as you do, speak as you do, and do what you tell them to do. How can you expect tolerance if you call people "Trumpsters." just because they vote differently than you. It is sickening.

And break out of your bubble and do a little research before continuing the lies of the terrorism being inflicted by Trump supporters:

@MancCub:

@raphjd:

BLM came about as a result of police brutality and unlawful/unjustified killings, that were particularly inflicted upon the black community.

It has no basis with Obama or Clinton and you know that! Stop peddling lies.

Actually, you are the one peddling lies. The entire BLM movement is predicated on false narratives. 1) Trayvon Martin was found to be the aggressor against George Zimmerman and that is what caused his death. 2) Mike Brown and the whole "hands up, don't shoot" was a LIE! Proven by not only eyewitnesses but by the forensics.

@syuvan12:

More than Trump himself, I'm more afraid of what (some of) his supporters are capable of doing and ARE doing right now.
I have read about over 50 such incidents that occurred all over the country which took place on the first day of Trump presidency.
A FEW examples:

1. A black man's car was atrociously vandalized with the words "NIG*ER" and "Trump" right next to each other.
2. A gay man has been brutally attacked by Trump supporters right after the election results were announced. They smashed a bottle over his head and was left bleeding profusely while they yelled, "We got a new president you fucking fagg*ts."
3. A woman of color was threatened by white Trump supporters in a gas station who asked her to leave the country, and then proceeded to pull out a gun on her and said, "If there weren't any witnesses, I'd kill you right now."

The internet is blowing up with MANY more such incidents.

And perhaps people should do a little research before sharing such bullshit without a little verification:
AT LEAST 2 of your 3 examples have been proven to be FALSE, but don't let a little thing like the truth get in the way of your paranoia and hate!

When did America STOP being great?

@Domosuke:

Orlando did never happen…

Blame Orlando on a Muslim– Trump wants to try and figure out how to keep us safe from those radicalized terrorists.

@Lagantiere:

Hillary Clinton got 200000 votes more than Trump. This already happened in 2000, when George W Bush (Of sinister memory!) was elected with more than 500000 votes less than Al Gore.
This is due to the voting system by states and the rule "winner takes it all".
The supposed greatest democraty, who rules the world, allows a minority of hillbillies and degenerates to give the key of their country to unsane and dangerous blokes.

Well, you obviously don't understand that we are a democratic republic, and how our electoral system works. Paying any attention to popular vote is ridiculous, because it isn't a true barometer.

Not in the least.

@myrea:

People look at the dollar value fall… you wanted to make a great america? The market is not happy... it might bring about a new economic crysis... and no Trump can't do shit about gay rights because removing them might be unconstitutional... let's wait and see

What was that? I guess you haven't heard the Dow Jones is at an all time high!

@alma:

I know right … shouldn't the person with most Vote WIN BY default ?  isn't that the REAL Democracy ?
Since it's about the people and all ((So they claim))

We are not and have never been a democracy. We are a democratic republic.
