This all goes back to Nixon. It was "independent media" who brought him down. The GOP decided that would never happen again. They went about buying up the media (and trying to impeach every Democratic president since then except -maybe - Carter, but I digress) and now they control the narrative.

You mention independent media. Which ones are those? Because whoever they are, they are drowned out by the well funded corporate media who are all in for trump.

The problem is, I'm not sure it will pass; certainly not after four years. We have opened the door to evil and it will be very hard to dislodge its tentacles. Especially with a weak-sauce opposition party.

All of this is great, but if they've found a way to hack elections, as they're boldly hinting, then it's all for naught unless we can foil them in that area.

It's a fact of life on social media that it doesn't matter how innocuous your post, or how hard you try to make your point clear. Someone, or several someones, will misunderstand you. They will take offense, put words in your mouth, and argue about something you didn't say.

Well, our sign says "Santa Stops Here" so it's just bragging, really.

Joe was always right-wing, so no surprise. I never watched the show because he was in love with the sound of his voice and talked too much.

Yes.

Well then, he's a perfect pick for the cabinet of an adjudicated rapist who has done exactly the same thing.

"Threat to security." I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The biggest "threat to security" is the clown who will be sitting in the White House and his circus.

My doctors, two of them at least, aren't the least worried about it. They're counting their tax cuts.

This one. I had a chat with my GI doctor after the election and he was positively giddy about how great America was going to be. When I mentioned the anti-vaxxer component of the tRump win, he waved it away.

“Competent” is not a word that has ever been associated with trump. “Great”? If you consider Nazi Germany great…One consolation is that,sooner or later, trump’s leopards from his Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party will eat your face too.

Oh bullshit. The media sanewashed the convicted felon. That’s the problem. And Americans are bigoted.

It just boggles my mind that apparently women voted for control over their bodies and then voted for the rapist and his friends who want to take it from them, and who will take it, amendment or no.
comment in response to post
Fuck you NYT - you caused this with your sanewashing of a crazy person and his crazy followers. But don’t worry, Trump and his leopards will eat your face too.

Cowards. If you’re going to use the word, use the word. Maybe they can’t spell it.

They’ve always been “jumpers” in the UK. And what we call jumpers, they call pinafore dresses.

No way the orange horror wrote that, no way. Grammatical, and no caps? Never. He probably can’t remember the last time he saw a grandchild, let along talked to one.

Yep, presidential material right there.

I wouldn’t doubt he has — in ketchup!

In the Trump administration there will be no taxes on overtime because there will be no pay for overtime. Slav… er, workers will be required to donate the time to their corporate overlords as a public service.

Washington Post, like the NYT, is a tool of the wealthy oligarchs. They don’t report news, they promote propaganda. Both are increasingly irrelevant as younger generations don’t give a crap about them.
comment in response to post
You’ve become irrelevant, NYT: Corporate media in the tank for Trump. Try being journalists again for a change. Or don’t. The younger generations don’t give a crap about your “reporting” or your opinions. You’re on the way out.

Pro Netanyahu, anti-union = deal-breaker big time.

Yes, this disqualifies him in my book.

The fact that he *thinks* it’s funny is kind of funny. And pathetic.
