I know. Sometimes you change your mind. But aren't there some things that should never change? Like core values/beliefs? The "never Trump" and the "anti-Trump" folks who have since rolled over dishonor/devalue/demean their prior positions. Were they not serious then or are they just afraid now? Is it easier and safer to just capitulate to power or should you stay true to you? What would YOU do? Why? less

Whether it is sincere on the part of PET or just pretend/window dressing Mitt seems to just lap it up so he is dishing it out. If you watch/listen to what Mitt said BEFORE PET asked him to dinner and what he said after dinner #2 you'd think the guy was brainwashed/hypnotized. He was effusive and complimentary and oh so thrilled with the dinner! Geez Louise Puhleez! Talk about the worm turning that would be it. If ya haven't seen it/heard it just you wait. You will. It will be all over the news shows. less

Nothing, right? So Paul Ryan has more power than PET assuming he can get the necessary votes. Is that how things SHOULD work?

I'm not sure how seniors will be affected if the Ryan plan becomes law. It's kinda confusing. Can you tell me please what it is exactly that you dislike about Medicare and Social Security?

Do they hate PET too for his lies or forgive him those lies because they worship him so he can do no wrong in their eyes? Weird, ain't it ?
What's up with that? Also, they're moving out to a dem part of town, and taking my 2 children with them. How am I going to be able to convince my children that PET is the champ now?

In interviews and exchanges with reporters, Obama has diplomatically suggested that Trump’s learning curve is steep, but he has commended him as practical and not ideological.

The recount business has not brought out the best in anybody, and in Trump it has brought out the worst: in a series of tweets, he alleged that millions of votes were fraudulent, enough to cost him the popular vote.But none of this is going to produce any change in the results of the election.This is not Al Gore losing Florida by fewer than 1,000 votes in 2000. Trump won Michigan by about 20,000 votes, Pennsylvania by 70,000, and Wisconsin by 30,000. And it is worth noting that Stein won enough votes in Michigan and Wisconsin to account for Clinton’s losses there. Her Wisconsin application lists a number of reasons for a recount, most of which are paraphrases of a single tho... less

In the crucial swing states of Florida and Ohio, Senators Marco Rubio and Rob Portman both doubled Trump's margin in their victories. Even more bad numbers to be considered are the GOP won 21 Senate seats to the Democrats' 12, took control of 33 governorships to the Dems' 15, and took 240 House seats to 194 that went Democratic. Republicans have won House control in four straight elections and 10 of the last 12 - regardless of the fate of their presidential nominees. All sobering numbers - right down to the grass roots. less

The Executive Branch should work separately from the legislative branch, so what if Trump decided he could fire his Secretary of State for one reason or other and try to force the Majority Leader to lead the vote in the senate---or fire his wife. This is just an example, but there could be other problems concerning his wife.

And we are told that it was Russians that leaked the emails that set Clinton back under investigation... at a time funny enough when it would most damage her campaign. . Why isnt anyone asking HOW the Russians got the emails in the first place.. IF they did.. if they didn't make it up....SO all this is puzzling me.. trying to understand it all and make sense of it... So just an idea, no accusations of course.. but I am finding it very strange - why do the Russians specifically want Trump.... why are they supporting him...will there be repercussions for America.... less

Confiscate all books from which the people could get dangerous ideas. Close movie theaters. No plays/little theater. Radio is allowed with all programming emanating from government sources. Mostly propaganda that is government-friendly but some music is allowed as long as it doesn't fire people up, excite them, energize them. No knowledge of what is going on in the world. No need. Nationalism has its value and isolation is one of them. The national slogan will be "Ignorance is bliss". less

He always owned THEM from the start. It's the ones who badmouthed him and insulted him who are now accepting crumbs from him who definitely are Collaborators. Saving one's career at all costs is important to some people. Honor/integrity is more important to others. You pays your money and makes your choice. Right?

They were aided by abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause. Underground Railway to fight the grave injustice/inhumanity of slavery. Worked.Makes for an inspiring story doesn't it? How those who didn't approve of what was being done to some of their fellow countrymen banded together to find a way to work against the tyranny and the tyrants.

What could it hurt to test it?
