Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Wouldn't put it past MSM to have deliberately misrepresented the risk to the markets of a Trump victory.

Glad I don't live in Michigan. Nice for my vote to be non-consequential for once.

Trump is uncertainty and markets famously dislike risk/uncertainty.
Why is that MSMs fault?

The GOP winning Michigan by even 1 vote is a huge story. Imagine Dems would take Texas by 1 vote?

I am not an expert.  I accepted that argument and adjusted some positions before the election. Reality has not born that argument out.  It could be that MSM presented that argument in good faith.  I just would not put it past them to contrive it as a scare tactic.

Well then you have some 'splainin to do.

I'm a conservative Republican.
I loathe the left.
I loathe cultural liberals the most.
I loathe the MSM.
I am disgusted by Hillary.
I just couldn't vote for her in the end. This is why he won. There were many more people like me.
The real reason was that I was sure that Hillary will win and do stuff that I hate and I'll eat my heart out for voting for her. A vote for Trump when he's going to lose would do nothing.
I still think that Trump is unfit for office and a maniac. I am happy that Republicans maintained control of congress and hopefully we'll get a conservative supreme court.
A big part of my hate for Trump was that I thought that there will be a downballot massacre of all my favorite Republicans. It didn't happen in the end. Though I'm sad that Joe Heck, Kelly Ayotte and Mark Kirk lost.

Seeing the protests and the MSM freakout (I enjoy it too much) is lovely.
I particularly love to see the Israeli left's (Haaretz etc.) freaking out that their card against Bibi is now gone.
This is the biggest FU to the cultural left. I'm loving it.

Do you not have and family, neighbors or friends who rely on any of the following to make ends meet??

HUD
Section 8
Food stamps
TANF
HEAP
WIC
EIC
personal exemptions
Medicaid
Free preschool
CHS

Etc etc.

Don't you have at least a glimmer of concern that all of your Republican heroes in power might easily slash some or all of these by 20-50%??

So exciting indeed.
I totally understand where you're coming from and why anyone that relies on those programs would vote for someone who would extend those programs. I also totally understand someone who doesn't rely on the programs why they would want it slashed since that comes along with tax breaks usually.

I agree with almost all of this, but man you were railing on him for being evil and unfit for quite some time. Very surprised you voted for him.

I'm not entirely sure that there is still a difference between the Democratic party and the "cultural left". Those two elements merged when Obama was elected.

Basically it took the voting booth to get past the CD and finally come around to what I had been saying the entire time.

The big hole in this reasoning is that fear of a downballot massacre is very sound reasoning to rail against Trump in the primary. Once he is the nominee to go on and on about how you would be better with H and how she should win is how you exacerbate the massacre not prevent it.
