Okay, I haven't posted here in a few weeks. Figured I'd post just to keep the electrons loosened up.
I voted for Trump, but he wasn't my first choice. My first, and second, (and third and fourth.....) choices all dropped out. Eventually, I was down to my LAST Republican choice (Trump) vs. my VERY LAST choice of all, Hillary. So Trump was my man.
But he clearly didn't win because of MY vote. Illinois's electoral votes all went to Hillary. So why DID he win? I think the nation was sick and tired of the left-swinging pendulum in the country. This pendulum swings over and over, and will swing back to the left in due course. But this cycle, it is Trump's baby, so he won. And I'm glad that it did.
What do YOU think? Remember, this isn't Facebook, so you don't have to worry about your employer or your girlfriend reading it. You can say what you REALLY think!

Neither one of them candidates got my vote. They are both lying fucks, I did a write in.(Bernie the socialist Sanders)
Con Job = promises are meant to be broken, and it looks like the "drain the swamp" of alligators is being filled with Goldman Sachs crocodiles. It appears Trump is going to try and #MAGA by going back to the fifties/sixties era with fossil fuels. Good luck with that.

DT! Great to hear from you!
But, what is your problem with MAGA? Making America great again sounds nice to me.

Jake, I hope he does #MAGAx3, but, somehow I believe loading his Cabinet up with Goldman Sachs fucks and a corporate raider (Ichan) as an advisor won't do it. I do like the Generals and the Commerce Secretary he has chosen. Wilbur Ross saved LTV and Bethlehem Steel in NW Indiana with his ISG group, the illegal dumping of steel in the US will stop.

I understand your cynicism regarding some of Trump's appointees, and you may well be right. But I figure, we've had lawyers and politicians running things for so long, to no good effect, I'm very happy to see what a bunch of Capitalists can do instead. If they suck as bad or worse, we can throw them out next time.
