No United States President has spoken to a leader of Taiwan since 1978. It's kind of like a big deal.

So Trump is saying he will put a 5% tarrif on all imports. What will fallout be if this happens?

An unprecedented blow to global capitalism and a slowdown in production and trade that makes 2017 the best year ever for the environment.

Which is exactly why it will never happen.

maybe all of Trump's bad policies will cancel each other out and we'll end up with peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

I think there's a small chance that he fucks up global capitalism's ~perfect balance~ in his attempt to enrich his oil and construction industry lackeys

He definitely seems to be setting up Exxon vs. Lockheed which is definitely a "whoever loses, we win" situation.

Yeah don't get this poo poo twisted, discriminating against muslims is great and all but discriminating against anyone brown? that's downright tremendous.

Also the immigration ban is nightmarish but the point is not to prevent muslims from coming into this country, it's to begin the process of dehumanizing muslims so that it doesn't seem too strange when America starts putting them in camps.

It's already begun really, I'm sure plenty of us will have holiday meals where our family members casually suggest killing them all. I know I will!

He might just decide "gently caress it, if they hate me so much, i'll arrest or kill enough of them until I feel the hate is justified"

i didnt say kids rear end in a top hat, i said "young people" and kings of leon are the definition of a bog-standard "normal" stadium rock band that every young person in america knows. It's not about going wild, its about how a boring but popular band playing would make a lot of people think "business as usual" because pop culture is all the culture most Americans have.

These are the same people who said that lead in drinking water is no biggie, same with water you could set on fire coming out of faucets in fracking areas

At the end of the day, all conservatives really want is for liberals to love them and admit they were right about everything. They just elected their Dream President. He's going to gently caress the poor and the environment just like they've always wanted.

Exactly. He's going to break the bureaucracy so badly that nobody, right or left, can possibly argue for its existence. Not limited government - no government.

I would say that the liberal states will become bastions of hope, but Trump will absolutely make it illegal for states to enforce any regulations.

If there's one thing I've learned from living in the suburbs, it's that white suburban middle to upper-middle class democrats are the worst. They stick an = bumper sticker on their car and are pro-choice, but as soon as you suggest something that might moderately inconvenience them to help a poor person, the knives come out. It amazes me that they are part of the same coalition as poor inner city minorities.

To me, this is not "the worst." It is bad. But it is not "the worst".

To me, "the worst" is a person who actively pursues the oppression of minorities. To me, active hatred is worse than self-serving hypocrisy, which is something we're all guilty of. Maybe the hypocrite can be shown the light. The hater seems like a lost cause.

That's just me though.

its very pathetic that the only dem leadership to march in DC were Kerry and his dog. gently caress this dead gay party.

How many people do you think Kerry has killed? I think it's important to remember that John Kerry has personally taken human life. Of course a few of them were shot in the back while running away, but they still count.

quote:

According to Kerry and the two crewmen who accompanied him that night, Patrick Runyon and William Zaladonis, they surprised a group of Vietnamese men unloading sampans at a river crossing, who began running and failed to obey an order to stop. As the men fled, Kerry and his crew opened fire on the sampans and destroyed them, then rapidly left. During this encounter, Kerry received a shrapnel wound in the left arm above the elbow. It was for this injury that Kerry received his first Purple Heart Medal.

Don't get me wrong here, I just think it's cool to remember that Milquetoast Polite Liberal John Kerry has tasted blood. Makes the narrative a little more interesting. :)

Tillerson would sell his own son into white slavery if it made him more oil cash. This guy is pure loving evil and he'll do everything he can to make sure America does no good for anyone except his oil company friends.

A better question would be "where". It'll start in the deportation camps and then move on to the rest of society.

This is something everyone needs to come to terms with right now. The midterms mean nothing, the Democratic Party means nothing. What is planned here are changes that go far beyond anything our civil politics are capable of ameliorating. Pure, concentrated destruction.

I don't post this thought much because it feels like dramatization even though it's 100% accurate. All of us have 3 possible outcomes when it comes to political participation in America going forward

1. Dead
2. Jail
3. We stop resisting
