You don't recall, therefore the last 8 years of petty obstruction, dogwhistling, "illegitimate", bullshit never happened.

Dude.

This is the second time in 16 years that dems have been screwed by the electoral college. The anger is just.

Putin congratulate Trump's on his election and talk about cooperations and goods relations between USA and Russia..... And Demotrate kept saying Trump would start a WW3


When people said President Trump would start WWIII you thought it would be against Russia? Where have you been all this time? Trump is Pro-Russia, he will agree with Putin's agenda, and if WWIII really starts it will be because there is no one to stop Russia.

President Trump said there was no benefit in protecting other countries if they didn't pay the U.S.

If the U.S. doesn't protect the NATO countries Russia will expand, If he doesn't protect Philippines and Japan(and I guess other asian countries), China will expand.

I can't say for sure that there will be a WWIII but it seems that the power balance in the world will change. Hell, maybe in 10 or 20 years U.S.A won't be the leading country in the world, and that can be scary.
don't be surprised over fundamental changes to the checks and balances in our government.
Hey...is this thing on?

I think most of the world will be quite happy if the Americans stop 'protecting' everyone.

You have to be realistic about these things.

I got something I gotta get off my chest guys. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, HEHEHHEHEHEHE.

The left is SOO salty. It's even worse than I estimated would happen if Trump won.
I don't think you have seen salt yet honestly. When he gets in and starts doing crazy shit...

Well I don't think the gun manufacturers are going to have to worry about a fall off. If he does even 1/10 of what he campaigned on, we are headed to war.

From the amount of data without context you dumped here we reach the conclusion that the USA is the top 1 in terms of unwanted interventions around of the world, and because of that the USA should refrain from intervening even if it's requested from small countries(or maybe the UN) that don't hold enough military to stop other big bullies.

The USA is the biggest bully therefore we can conclude that the world would be so much better if they just chill out.

Don't do anything, just step back and watch. It's not like there are crazy people in power out there...

Gun makers have seen windfall profits under Barack Obama. Back in 2012, I stopped in a gun store to buy some ammo and had a short chat with the guy at the desk and he told me under no uncertain terms that Barack Obama has been the greatest boon for his business over everything else. It was really hard to find certain types of rifles for a period of a few years. And the price on pretty much everything skyrocketed out of demand. People were buying more guns and ammo just because Obama was president.

If he does even 1/10 of what he campaigned on, we are headed to war.


With who? Hillary was going to escalate tensions with the Russians. While Trump is looking to repair relations with the Russians. Due to his displayed unpredictable nature, the rest of the world is probably too scared to try anything against Trump. And if Trump gives them anything that looks like an olive branch, they're going to take it.

One thing I took away from reading the salt over the internet is that a lot of libs are almost more scared of Pence than of Trump. Maybe he won't get JFKed after all...
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

It's the other way around. The Electoral college was part of the balancing act of states vs population. When the electoral college was first set up, the 2 senate votes represented 27% of the college. With the population increase, the smaller states have been getting shafted and the senate portion of the college vote is now only about 18%.

To balance it back out and make it consitutionally fair, there should be 368 representatives and 468 electoral college votes.

If the balance was restored the results would be ~ Trump 266 EC votes and Hillary 202 EC votes.

For those unfamiliar with the system, there's a decent overview here:
