That comment contradicts your first comment suggesting only Dems protest.

It also overwhelmed dozens here who either left the forum or went into hiding for a few weeks rather than face the fact they had been 100% wrong for 1.5 years.

It was very a very overwhelming landslide victory.


Completely overwhelmed at Trump's YUGE victory.

I lived in Arizona. Love Arizona. But the above is pretty damning.

ONLY 14 days in office and already he's produced a destabilized International Environment.... and already he's taken Air Force One and gone on Vacation after starting a firestorm of conflict. Yet, Republican have not wined one time about cost, or the cost to house his wife and fly her there too. "Purely Amazing".... Not even a month, truthfully, only 1/2 a month and already War Talk is in the air......
Let's see how you feel when some of you, and some of your sons and daughters are packed off to War on the Other Side of the World. Maybe we even many need to worry if destabilization come full force to American and war on American soil.


Was there something Trump did not learn about the multiple times of recycling of Troops into Iraq Theater to the point PTSD became to infect our troops like it was some airborne virus the way it spread through our military.

End result, troops, bullet and bombs did not diminish their Ideology.... because one can't conquer an ideology with war tools and war games.

We truly should have learned that back in the 1970's with Vietnam, but when it comes to war games and the money it spins and feeds into the system of the wealthy..... it may continually be overlooked and wars generated.

Trump must think the Job of a President is a sideline thing, where he can start a ruckus and head off to his villa as if nothing has happened.

As American people, we can without questions lay the blame for any such mess that results for this conduct, directly at the feet of the Boisterous Republican Trump supporters and the Trump Supporting Rubber Stamping Republican Congress. This is the same Republican Congress he denigrated and now they are filled with fear trying to protect their congressional seats and keep the money train making regularly deliveries into their coffers. They have demonstrated they will go for anything and will do anything, without conscience. We can't forget their first act was trying to remove the Ethic's Panel, because they knew they would be diving head first into unethical activities. American Right Wingers wanted "crap talking mud slingers", and they got a whole Administration full of such.

People have elected a "money gatherer" as President, his primary focus has been strictly setting the stage for "money gathering"..... along with a "select society development" agenda, and the calculated objectives necessary to pursue that agenda. In comes "Steve Bannon".... the chief strategist, with Mike Pence, the Religious Formation Chief. The attack on the Johnson Act is of service to the Pence agenda spectrum, which fits with Bannon's strategy.

One thing the World of Nations is not going to stand for, and that is "another" - America Initiated War in the Middle East".

Trump told people of who he is, and many were caught in the adulation and drama of the moments as if to be entertained and consumed in the entertainment and missed the points as to whom he kept telling you who he is. Even before he was sworn in after being elected, he was initiating conflict with foreign entities....

He has not ceased to patronize himself at any and every opportunity,talking about crowd pictures in front of the honored wall at the CIA, and then talking about an insidious TV show and ratings at a prayer breakfast.
Even in the midst of crisis he crated, he finds ways and time to patronize himself, and then take Air Force One and goes on a weekend vacation. (not one republican has wined about the cost)

And all of You Right Wingers are Proud of that.... ?

Rome Fell Too, as did the British Empire... and people were with their insidious rally cheers all the ways to the full demise....

Have you ever considered that the media lied about Hilary?

Have you ever seen this much outrage for even a Republican president? The media could have thrown around a lot of negative things about Bush considering a lot of people thought he was a moron. I've never seen this much negativity towards a public figure and I have liked plenty of unpopular ones. I used to think I was mostly alone in my distaste of Trump but the more we go on while society won't agree with me on many other things we do all agree on Trump.

Have you ever considered that just because someone was voted in doesn't mean enough people like him? There is corruption abound in this world..the only difference is this is the first time it might have spilled over into politics but just because it has never happened before (at least in my lifetime) doesn't mean it can't.

Yes, via the electoral process we currently utilize.

This does not in any sense mean "the majority of Americans are in love with Donald Trump."

This is true as well. The electoral process is completely separate from popularity.

As the election showed us there MANY more Trump supporters than realized. I also think many voted for Trump but lied about their vote. Im sure there was illegal voter rigging going on as well or else Trump would have won the popular vote too.

The last 8 years we have all been programmed to the HERD mentality and being politically correct so its a "Oh we voted for the PC libs but they really didn't" . But that is finally changing now
