Prove it.

Welcome to politics.

Only difference is it's not just people from America who are concerned.
Exactly. Democrats have very good reason for their concern and things like this don't help one bit. Newt Gingrich is already talking about ways for Trump to avoid complying with existing laws by issuing pardons.

“In the case of the president, he has a broad ability to organize the White House the way he wants to. He also has, frankly, the power of the pardon,” Gingrich told WAMU’s Diane Rehm on Monday morning. “It is a totally open power, and he could simply say, ‘Look, I want them to be my advisers. I pardon them if anyone finds them to have behaved against the rules. Period.' Technically, under the Constitution, he has that level of authority.”

Gingrich was referring to a federal anti-nepotism law that could prevent Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, respectively, from serving in his administration.

What's wrong with democrats complaining all the time?




Nothing. It's just a manifestation of the fact that they want to blame everybody they can see for their devastating election loss last month, except themselves.

Pretty much guarantees that they'll use the same agenda and tactics in 2020, resulting in another huge loss.

Please, keep up the good work, Democrats!

Yet another fine example of the mental illness called liberalism. Thank Heaven it's soon to be stamped out with it's voice becoming the meaningless ramblings of a mad man with no ears to fall on.

Nothing is going to be enough for the entitled, spoilt brats. Put them in army or make them work hard on a farm for a few years & they will show gratitude for their blessings. Make it a mandatory college credit to work in the army or become a farmer for a semester. If not parents, atleast the education system should expose them to realities of life.

I might be on the losing side of these...but I dont think im on the wrong one. And for the most part-the country agrees with me.

And when we do convert a state over, looks like the Republican side has a new tactic-the outgoing government strips the winner of most of his power in office, and carries on as they are winning the countryside.

so yeah, enjoy ruling a country with your minority chosen leadership.. THATS never ended badly for any country.
Don't forget to remind them that we GAINED seats in the house and senate, this Trump win has made them delusional

The popular vote was solely because of California, specifically coastal Californians. Let them follow through on their threats to secede.

So why do democrats complain so much? Doesn't that get depressing after a while? Can democrats find any silver linings or is always the guy who sells typewriters on the Simpsons?
LOL.


Have you not paid attention to Faux for 8 years of whining about Obama?


Srsly?


Ya'll have taught us that whining must be fun and profitable.


Get used to it.

Well we are a nation built on complainers, protestors, and those who want to change things for the better. Constantly trying to silence or shame them, is down right un-American.
