This just in: the liberals now are screaming about Trump's comment on Sweden. I only saw part of the rally yesterday (did get to see the supporter take the stage which was kinda cute) did not hear this part. I am assuming he was referring to the gang rape on FB live? Anyone care to tell me that actually watched it and heard what he said?

I didn't hear it, but women are being raped by Muslim immigrants in Sweden. Most of the rapes are committed by Muslims from what I understand, and their media is trying to silence it. Like the USA, their media is also dishonest/liars/fake news. Trump earned some bonus points with me if he called them out on it.

There can never be a 100% success rate in any justice system. I don't care much for laws or authorities, but even someone like me who's biased towards them understands this.

PS learning on the job? Give me a fucking break. This isn't fucking burger flipping. Maybe next time don't vote someone in with NO EXPERIENCE OF THE INDUSTRY and worse PLENTY of experience in an industry traditionally at odds with the new job's industry. Fuck. Me.

Oh, and you know the BEST way to learn on the job? LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE JOB AND WORK WITH THEM. Trump is a chronic dismisser of others' opininions. He's at war with pretty much every intelligence agency. He's declared the media the enemy. He's already stated some courts are basically treasonous because they've opposed him. And he's struggling to form a decent government. Yeah, that's really 'learning on the job'. Please. STOP.

“Trump has no idea how to be a world leader.”

He sure does not. But think of it this way: the US executive branch needs to have expertise in about 1,000 things, and no president comes into office as an expert in more than a tenth of those things. The president’s job is to bring in a large team of experts to fill in the 90% that he or she doesn’t know about. For Trump, maybe that number is 98% instead of 90%. But our executive branch will be run by a large group of people, not just Trump, and as a whole they’ll have all the expertise of any other administration. Sure, the president has a lot of say and does have a significant amount of individual power, and that’s a bit terrifying when it comes to Trump—but I’m encouraged by both his experience running a large, complex company and his surprisingly adult choice of Pence as a running mate. I’d predict that President Trump is all about surrounding himself with experts who know very well how to run the executive branch.

In order for our two-movie situation to merge back into a single movie, one of us needs to see our expectations violated in ways that even cognitive dissonance can’t explain away.

I remember feeling supremely jubilant on November 8, not because Trump won, but because the media lost.

Hope you don't miss that nose too much. Not that you really cut it off, as you noted. The media is far from done.

How amazingly petty, vindictive and myopic you now appear to be. You'd put a mad king on the throne just to fuck with the advisers and the gossiping court and their relatively harmless but absolutely self-serving and corrupt status quo maintenance.
