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.

Stop trying to twist everything like Trump does. We are taking about the protests pertaining to the election. The protests so far have been peaceful by me.

How about the major protests in Manhattan? Have they been mostly peaceful so far?
I will state my observation unequivocally: One has to be totally Naive to believe that these protests are not sponsored.

For crying out loud, it's a democratic election with pre-defined rules. No one changed any rules in the middle of the game.

I was very disappointed when Obama was elected.

I was outraged when Obamacare was passed shoved down our collective throats using deceptive tactics (putting it mildly). (and for the record, I am convinced that there were behind the scenes shenanigans that we don't know about yet - I have no other explanation for the fact that the insurance companies agreed to play along.)

I know many people who were not only outraged, but very much hurt by Obamacare.

Yet surprisingly, I have never seen any demonstrations or riots to abolish it.

Many people can get upset about shifts in public policy, but we learn to live with it and move on (no pun intended!) The tides shift in different ways different times in life, and we all have our own families at the center of our lives. For most people, even real political or talk-show junkies, politics is not the center of their lives, definitely not to the extent that they will take time and effort to demonstrate (over a legitimately lost cause).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Some of you trying to understand this is like me saying I understand the Torah. You just don't get it.

I'm with JTZ on this one. Let them protest. People voted for Trump so that they can have that freedom. Is it all tactical? Of course it is! Would they have yelled if H won and Trump supporters protested? Of course! To quote Michael Barone again, "all process arguments are insincere including this one".

Oh. Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with peaceful protests (especially if they are on the expense column of George Soros and his ilk  ;D, let them waste money). Just as long as no policy changes occur due to them. Let those people hurt themselves as much as they want, until they mature or run out of money.

I'm all for protesting
As long as there's no incitement to violence & they're not illegally blocking the streets.

The main one is people protest things they are passionate about, especially the liberals.

The protesters feel they are going to lose everything they gain over the years. There are passionate people out there. You can't buy/pay that type of passion.

That is the purpose of the protest. Were against the civil rights protests?

The D's always protest. That is part of who they are. Not sure why anyone is surprised.
It's not the the protest as much as the legitimatecy given to the pour souls from all angles, for suffering of anxiety about Trump.

But it is real. Are they overacting? IMHO yes. Trump is going to turn out to be a p**** (to use one of his terms) when push comes to shove. Just look at the meeting with the president of Mexico. He folded like a cheap suit.

Maybe.

But with Vietnam there was also the risk of a draft. Real risk of lives of oneself and or friends or loved ones. It wasn't only about the passion for peace. Most importantly, the situation was already ongoing, and the protests were to end it. Whereas here, nothing happened other than a democratic election based on the US constitution.

Furthermore, what real interest did the US have there? What risk to US interests existed? (excuse me if I'm a little ignorant about this, and asking based on my limited understanding and knowledge of the situation, it all predates me).
