Re: US Politics Thread
What a crock of shit. Doing the will of the people is supporting a monarchy, yet allowing a few electorates to dictate and override the will of the people is okay? You can vote for your states Governor, all votes count. That's your states rights and where it should end. Every vote should count.
Take it up with the constitution. The rules have been the same since 1789, you've had plenty of time to read up on them.

You actually want to stop people who are vulnerable to extremist recruiting from joining them. You don't say fuck it and bomb them. That creates more tension, more propaganda. The shit weve already done but failed and ended up creating more terrorists. You see the innocent collateral damage and dead children, dead families from American bombs you leave an opening. This stems from Iraq, which destabilized the entire middle east, with a leader who carelessly used language like "crusades."
If you think by this point that you can bomb them out of existence or bomb your way out of a problem, then it makes sense that you fell for Trump's "Ending Terrorism For Dummies" bullshit.
Lol, Obama dropped more bombs from Drones than all other US presidents combined. A lot of innocent folks died from his drones. Oh, and we had more terrorist attacks in our country and Europe than during all of the Bush era.
Hey, genius, how many presidents had drones? And, again, those conflicts were because of Bush's war. As was the explosion of terrorist groups.
But but but Bush!
And Obama pulled out, left nothing in place and decided to let Syria and Iraq fall to Isis. Not to mention letting Hamas get elected and watch Libya and Egypt fall.
Re: US Politics Thread
Holy fuck Slash has posted now 3 pics about anti trump rallies and he is getting a lot of shit for it and also they are the least liked photos on his page. What a dumb Fuck for trying to divide his own fans. Going political is always a bad business decision. "One in a million," baby.
Yup...GnR made a name for themselves by making fantastic business decisions-
Also...could it be that they are the least like pics bc he just posted them today?
As trump rants and raves about "man of the year" now being called "person of the year."
I don't even understand the world you live in SG...you blindly celebrate him no matter what he does and you're critical of people organizing and marching?
This is the culmination of negativity - your precious president

They should've all gotten out and voted.
Considering she won the popular vote, I'm sure many of them did.
Not enough apparently, or at least they didn't live in the right states.

I don't like a lot of what Trump does, but these protests are a little over the top and too little too late. As for Slash I love the guy. Absolutely love him. But he is very influential and impressionable, and many kids look up to him. Imagine if he was pro Trump, would you still be cool with his thoughts or would you should "bring back buckethead".

The popular vote is a footnote and the rest are excuses. If the Democrats had a better nominee you probably wouldn't be complaining about Trump right now. Lesson learned.
No, they're called facts. Remember the first time you came in here, claiming I said something I didn't? Those aren't facts, those are lies. The facts are Russia, Assange and the use of Wikileaks were intended and used to get Trump elected. Comey's motivations are questionable but not the results. If Trump wrecks the best economy any president in the modern era has ever walked into, then the fucktards who elected him will be shown to have elected the worst president in history despite being painfully obvious from the start that he was woefully unqualified when they casted their votes... Maybe he'll be fantastic and prove them all to be geniuses... If not, they are the scurge of America. A group of small, ugly, hateful, scared and miserable human beings who live in an insulated world and allow their own fears and insecurities to drive them to self destruction under the false guise of righteous patriotism. This will be on their heads.
Facts or not, they're still excuses. Hillary was shady and turned half the country off. Trump was far from an unflawed candidate obviously, but he still won. Regardless of how or why it happened, it happened. There's no turning back now.

More bombs and drones, yet Obama is weak on terrorism? Oh, ok.
We had more terrorist attacks in our country during Obama than Bush? Ummm....911? WTF are you talking about.
Obama is not responsible for the safety of Europe.

They should've all gotten out and voted. Maybe they'd be having a different kind of march today. Maybe next time.
You know all these women personally? You know that none of them voted? That's a rather useless comment.
I don't remember anything like this politically in my lifetime. A protest march to an incoming president that exceeded the size of a presidential inauguration, with sister marches all over the country and around the world.
