I'm hoping Trump will be a worse POTUS than "Dubya."

Didn't the Democrats have a word for people who said that about Obama?

Also I just read- apparently Trump doesn't even want to live in the White House all the time! Seriously? That's so disrespectful to every president in history. It feels like he wants to treat the job as a part-time job, since he will likely try to run his other businesses at the same time I bet.


I honestly don't think the man ever truly gave a moment's thought to the idea that if he wins he can't live in his golden penthouse in NYC and has to actually live in the White House and generally do the work of being the president of America every day for the next 4 years. The reality is only starting to dawn on him now, slowly. It's why he looked so scared and uncomfortable when he went to the White House to meet Obama the other day. No more golden penthouse for Donald for the next 4 years. :lol:


Reagan conducted business from his ranch in California, Bush Sr. conducted business from his vacation house in Kennebunk, Bush 2 had others conduct his business for him in both the Whitehouse and his ranch in Texas, and Obama conducted business from whatever golf course was convenient for him, and you say that Trump can't conduct business from one of his penthouses?

I heard that Trump reportedly will not collect salary afforded to him for serving as President of the United States, those 400 thousand dollars a year, because for him "it's pennies for small expenses"

It would be great if in his footsteps followed these pricks which rules Poland my country, Not to mention the European commission in Brussels, because it's complete Babylon and state within a state!

Traitors!

These people are even worse since many of these rioters are just straight up paid mercenaries, they're posting ads on craigslist offering $15 an hour or more and busing people. This is a treachery not seen in American history, George Soros is a cancer to this entire planet and I hope that the Trump administration looks very hard and close at him. Russia has an international arrest warrant out for his arrest, I think we should extradite and cut the head off the snake.

Now there's talk of Trump filling a cabinet position with someone affiliated with charter schools which causes me to bristle. The government doesn't owe you school choice, it owes you a public school and your government should give you the freedom to decline or accept and this is your choice. The schools that are there should be held accountable. Republicans do not need to waste any more money on funding overpriced, private school tuitions. This school choice is another way government finds to excuse increased tax burden. Everyone write to your senators and reps demanding less spending and better public schools. Don't fall for this school choice bs unless you want your property taxes to skyrocket. Unions are no excuse for lack of accountability.

Let me ask a question, just for the sake of getting a sense where you're head's at on this.

If you have a family living in the inner city who doesn't have a lot of money, the parents have relatively good values in terms of raising their son(s)/daughter(s). Their child or children is/are conscientious and want to pull good grades and apply themselves. The local jr high and highschool is a place where most kids are dealing drugs by 7th or 8th grade and dropping out by 9th or younger. What's your understanding of that family's recourse in most places and what would you recommend to them?

We have gangs here and what the parents do to keep kids out of them is be involved in their lives, get them involved in Girls and Boys Club, enroll them in sports programs, and community centers. Find mentors. It takes community, not government. The government cannot solve all problems. Are you saying individuals cannot assume responsibility for anything? I have faith in the power of people to solve problems like these. Why does government have to go bankrupt to solve community based problems is what we should all be asking.

Government does not owe union teachers jobs, it owes the nation's children a good education and charter schools are the only way out for many parents who find themselves at the mercy violent pathetic public school systems in these inner cities many of which basically have basically no special education at all. I will never forgive the people who educated me, I was sent to public schools that only prepared your ass for jail and they had absolutely NOTHING to help me. You are ignorant of the wants and needs of children for the sake of what? One of the planks of communist manifesto? All I can think of is ideology or absorbing too much teacher's union nonsense, charter schools have broad bipartisan support including from President Obama who I will give credit for understanding plight of children in the urban inner city despite teacher union wailing.

Trump is filth. I'm gearing up for a fight; he's lit a fire under people and when the people who voted for him realize they've been had and neither Trump nor the corporate parties have their back they'll want some answers too.

Ready for revolution, here. I would be if Hilary had won, but Trump gives more of a push in that direction.

Trump winning was something of a political revolution which is not possible in the DNC, if these people fought this hard then maybe Bernie Sanders would be president-elect right but then again it was a rigged primary so maybe not. Knee jerk opposing Trump makes no sense on anybodies part, the Democrats will try to fool you back into the fold without changing anything so you'll jump back on the bangwagon and support the Harry Reid's and Nancy Pelosi's of the world What you and other Democrats need to do is to start going after your own caucus like Republican voters had, start primarying the people ruining the party.

I have high hopes and expectations for Trump, we will see what he can get done.

Oh, but it's okay, apparently, according to you, for our government to go bankrupt, funding a program so illegals can get citizenship.
