Donald Trump

trump voters may not be racist themselves but they sure lent a hand towards validating a campaign that drew the bigots out of the woodwork of american society.

but by the same token, americans supporting hillary were complicit towards a malfunctioning establishment, tainted with corruption and abuse.

we have to ask ourselves which is easier to extricate. once we have racist, sexist, homophobic people with significant clout empowered by a president, is it easier to kick them out versus reworking a system that clearly hasn't been working optimally for the past few decades?

personally, i would've preferred having the candidate that didn't have the hate train backing them, but i'm obviously biased.

shitty times we live in. what i'd give to have been born in the 2030s instead of the 1990s.

I think you're going to have an aneurysm if you don't chill on the all the bullshit the media puts out.

It reads like the infowars guy rants lol.

Best snippet from spoiler.

Skimmed the link, but I just don't care enough about politics to read it.

In my experience most people don't care and are content with shallow emotional opinions on the latest affront (myself included tbh).

I actually remember that story. I was able to find - on my own - ads hiring protestors for $1,500, so I remember seeing the higher figure and thinking to myself "either typo or exaggeration." Exaggeration, it turns out.

Did you find the Bird Dogger protestor that made at least $21,668.18? (on the record)

Is wikileaks fake? I don't know...

If someone can't be bothered to check out the most important and reliable source of Hillary's corruption (35,000 emails published - and a 100% accuracy record) then they are most certainly underinformed about the election. Not by a little bit, but by a HUGE amount.

http://blog.erratasec.com/2016/10/yes-we-can-validate-wikileaks-emails.html

The voters for Trump were better informed than the voters for Hillary, who stuck their heads in the sand and tried not to hear the truth.

Trump had many qualities and positions that a lot of people disagreed with. They didn't vote for him because they didn't know about those aspects, but rather in spite of it.

Hillary was literally THAT BAD.

Those who paid attention to Trump's speeches may recall him talking about incentivizing tax structures to get major companies US companies to repatriate their foreign stashed money and resume more production in the United States.

Guess who is already seeing the writing on the WALL and figuring out whether to make the jump back?

Apple.

TPP - sunk
NAFTA - ready to be renegotiated.
Apple -considering moving manufacturing back.

And how many days has Trump officially been in office?

58.5 percent of Hispanics support Trump's immigration policies. Fucking racist bigots smh.

Democracy isn't a perfect system, but it is less corrupt than any other so far.

Feel free to come up with a better system.

People who struggled through the system legally don't think it's fair for others to just scoot on through with a free pass? That just can't be true.

The cartels won't be too happy about losing their Coyote Cash business. If they get brave enough to try and battle anything out, Davis Monthan A.F.B. will send over a squadron of A-10s and Mexican crime scene will get WOKE.

BrrrRRRRRAAAAAPPPPPP.

Apparently if you live in a liberal city, your friendly neighborhood SJW barista(s) will call the cops on you -_-

Hilarious. Barista "I'm calling the cops". Customer: "uh...ok? Go ahead?"
