(115,576 posts)electing a billionaire real estate developer. A whole lot of low-information voters just got conned, bigly. Wonder when, if ever, they'll realize they've been had?

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,576 posts)(though I'm sure it has better art). The best description I've seen of chez Trump is Versailles redecorated by Saddam Hussein's pimp. It's a perfect example of too much money combined with a total lack of class.

I have yet to see any negative commentary from trump supporters regarding his cabinet picks.
I do beleive trump is gonna try hard to deliver to rust bell voters - he is narcisistic and wants full control over his minions. There is every indication that dirty jobs will be created and I have no doubt the infrastructure bill will pass.
We need to think about our strategy, we can't win without those states...

(789 posts)Our beloved country is being hijacked right under our noses and with complete impunity by those who were sworn to uphold the constitution.
We teeter on the brink of national madness and it seem that all the news-feeds can do is wring their hands while wearing the proverbial ashes and sackcloth.
Were acquiescing the Office-of-the-President to a man that has all the impulse control of a rabid mongoose. A man whos lied, cheated and stolen his way through life to achieve his one blinding aim which is self gratification at the expense of anyone and anything around him. Only a fool would believe that this archetypical sociopath is going to change his ways once in office.
What happened to our constitutional right to Representative government of, by and for: We-The-People? Do you really feel your values are being represented by those in Congress? Right, didnt think so.
We have a voice! Act and they will listen, shout loudly and they will hear. Write, call or otherwise contact your elected representatives and in bold terms remind them that they are public servants and that we are the public they serve; not special interests, not PACs, not foreign countries but We-The-People.
You may think your voice wont matter but nothing could be further from the truth. Our voices DO matter and the more voices there are
. the more they matter to those in Washington. Look back through history
. Change-agents happen in the most unseeming ways sometimes. And its up to us to be those agents of change.
So act, act now to raise your voice in protest to your Congressman and Senator that we wont be bullied by an administration that only wants to hold this country hostage for ransom like a bunch of Somali pirates.

(9,865 posts)...see it this way at all. They want to privatize all government functions. They want government to be run like a business. These billionaires are their heroes, because only billionaires know how stuff works.
Yes, their analysis is this addled and ignorant.
But the point is, they are not at all troubled by these appointments.

(11,816 posts)Three of us basically replied saying "Yeah, not so much - here's instances of him taking money for favors: xxxx"
She shot back "the election is over, I don't care anymore"
But yet, she was still posting this. They are simply living in a bubble, and can't cope when someone tries to introduce them to actual facts.
