So clearly, the Kremlin favored Trump. Trump the Quisling.
The link between Putin and Trump appears to be valid and real: Russia: "There were contacts" with Donald Trump's campaign before election - CBS News

I believe we had a wonderful poster in here call this idea a "leftist fantasy"?

Wouldn't be fair to get them dependent on a government intervention. Plus, the federal government forcing private companies to run their business a certain way and telling them who/where to hire hurts our capitalist freedoms. They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps, that's how you create true independence.

Why should us rich blue states and blue cities give up our hard earned income gains to help out fellow Americans in flyover country? It's a free country, they should have just become more skilled and moved to California and New York where the jobs are being created. Class warfare and socialism I tell ya.
This is so funny and sadly at the heart of the matter.

If you put urban working blacks in this instead working whites
"Handouts "
"Government intervention"
"Up by their bootstraps "
"Class warfare"
"Socialism"

This would a battle cry for the alt-right

I was thinking the very same thing. Lots of good "trigger words" in there to get some alt-rights in here. I'm pretty liberal and am generally in favor of income redistribution in some form.

It's funny to see a Republican campaign run on what amounts to a very liberal platform. I guess since it's about white people and not minorities/"illegals" it's "ok".

Unfortunately for the people in the Midwest, these promises will not come easily (just wait to see the resistance to the changes to trade deals that Trump is implying to be trivial changes...when they will not be)...or likely, at all. And the backlash when these promises don't pan out will be pretty strong, I predict.

Lots of speculation and who knows until you look back.

President Obama and Secretary Clinton have put forth the spirit of cooperation post election... maybe they don't think the world is ending?

Trumpists are so hot and bothered by Hillary's "lying", but it doesn't faze them that Trump lied about never having had any contact w/Russia or Putin.


It's only gonna get worse, folks.

They don't know that the Republicans in Congress are planning to prosecute them and send them to jail. That was on the news today.

One needs a gun to defend themselves from liberal tards in certain trashed cities.

The libs plan: disarm the poplulation and have thugs have their way with them.

No more. Bye bye, lib ninnies.

There aren't enough hankies to go around for all the crybabies.


It is amusing to watch, though.
