THE ERA OF TRUMP

Identity politics are fun though.

Just find the most asinine example of the other side, or just wholesale insulting them with something like the deplorables, and you can show just how good one's own side is.

It's disheartening, and the extreme party loyalists on both sides make up approx. 60% of the country. I wonder what percentage of the middle 40% that voted Trump already regret their decision .

Hey Penner. I got some bad news.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran… has decided to respond in kind after the insulting decision of the United States concerning Iranian nationals,” the ministry said in a statement carried by state television.

Trump on Friday signed a sweeping executive order to suspend refugee arrivals and impose tough controls on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Iran’s foreign ministry called the decision “illegal, illogical and contrary to international rules.”

It said its own ban on US nationals would continue until the American measure was lifted.



It said it had ordered Iranian diplomatic missions to help Iranians who had been “prevented from returning to their homes and places of work and study” in the United States.

I want to know whether the DNC regrets rigging the primary yet, or if they still think it was a good idea.

At least no one will accuse him of not following through on his campaign poromises.

I find it amazing that no one expects politicians to keep their promises. They say anything to get elected then only serve the people who provide the money. No one even expects Trump to do these things yet he does. It gives one pause...

We are so used to seeing polished politicians that when a normal person (Trump) comes along, he seems scary. But if you think about it, he acts like your friends, he acts like the people who post to this forum, he acts like someone who has off-the-cuff conversations. It's odd how we trust our friend to pick us up at the airport even though they're unsophisticated buffoons. I've read that the early presidents were also goofy, profane, uncouth men. The era of modern politics has made it so that only a certain kind of untrustworthy but smooth person can be elected.

Like Clinton?

I still say Trump is a nightmare, but I was sick of having Android Presidents.

I should hope you.They should be ashamed and they deserve the ridicule they are getting.

Trump uses iPhone? That's the last fucking straw.

Trump doesn't believe in iPhones.
