If America 1st upsets you, this may not be the nation you need to invest in any longer. Take your pick, I'm sure a Go Fund Me page will net you more than enough, to get you to the destination of your choice.
Yes, that is true, Russia magically started to respect the US because they finally have a puppet as the president of the US. If I were Putin, I would be very excited being able to use the US however he wants. Or were you referring to the crony capitalism that we are seeing where corporate owners are lining up for their cut of taxpayer money?

As for my destination, that is the northwest, this is my home, this will always be my home, and I have no plans on leaving my home. Besides, my family and my business is in the northwest, and why would I want to leave all that just because some conservatives were dumb enough to elect an Orange Clown Monster to be president. At this point, I see him mostly hurting them to benefit himself and his friends. It is gonna be funny watching the damages he will do to everyone who supports the Republican party.

He's gonna bring back those factory jobs at the same pay scale the Chinese get paid to work them. It will save so much on shipping and make the corporate fat cats so much money, all while the government cuts them a check for "keeping these jobs in the US."

What the HELL is wrong with you people that you're so hate filled you would wish this?

You two are a big reason so many of us can no longer call ourselves Democrats. The party is filled with sick in the head people who are vile.
Well that is probably why you didn't hope he would screw up the country....though to correct you, I don't hope Trump screws up the country, I expect him to screw up the country. Obama did a lot of good for the country including working us out of one of the worst recessions we have experienced in this country.

I have no faith in Trump, especially watching him fill his cabinet with billionaires, DC insiders, and Wall Street insiders. We are getting a very crony capitalism presidency that will make the swamp even more murky. I wish and hope that he doesn't do this, but at this time, I think he will make things worse.

As for what with Democrats because we liberals have no problem calling Trump names? Does it bother you to support Republicans who also had no problem calling Obama and his supporters names? It is a fair question, you can't be upset at one thing while ignoring it from the other side.

When did the Democrats have a chance to increase minimum wage? It was raised in 2009 during Obama's first year in office during the recession. In 2010, the Republicans took control of Congress and made raising the minimum wage near impossible.

After he was supposed to not have a chance in the primaries and after he was going to lose the general election by a landslide.

Before the election, I had a feeling that either Hillary or Trump would become America's next one-term President. Both choices had all of the makings of it.

Could this be a blessing in disguise for Democrats?


Libs are hoping and praying.


Assuming that an event is "due" is a statistical error called "the gambler's fallacy".

I know people what to throw the "I" word out there... you do understand both houses of Congress lean right.

When Clinton was impeached, the right controlled both Houses of Congress. So the environment back then was more supportive to something like that taking place.

I agree this will be a one term Presidency. But only because Trump himself will walk away when his term is done. He will have accomplished what he set out to do and will see no reason to continue.

You will not see another democrat in the whitehouse for at least 20 years.
