Sten those facts were well known prior to the election. They didn't matter to many angry white men. |

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/09/donald-trump-us-president-nightmare That sounds like most politicians. They are ALL liars, and many are bigots and sexual predators. What else is new or different about this one? Now then, if you want to complain about Trump's political policies, go for it. I am not very happy with them either... But, please don't tar & feather him for acting like a regular politician in other ways (lies, bigotry, and sexual schizz, to name just a few). Yes, politicians should not do those things, I agree... But without the lies, none of them would ever get elected or stay in office, and politics seems to attract people with numerous other character flaws, like the other two you mentioned (bigotry and sexual crap). You call Trump out on those things, you are calling out ALL of them. Yes, I have said it before. Trump is poison. I don't like his... political positions (or not very many of them, at any rate). I am deeply concerned about where his populist appeal will lead the USA. I get fears of fascism when I consider him and his policies. That said, his personal habits are par for the course when it comes to politicians. https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

OK.........you have had your say. I am an angry white man. Fear ME. We have stood in the background while you raised your hell in this nation. And we finally stood up and said 'enough'. Now, you are going to do OUR dance. And it shall serve you well enough once we get through the introductions. 'Great again' does not quite cover it.

OK.........you have had your say. lol We have stood in the background while you raised your hell in this nation. Not going to happen, what are you going to do about it?

And the facism begins as expected. White house censors National Park Service Twitter account because they retweeted crowd size estimate of Donald Trump’s 2017 and compared it to the much larger crowd size estimate of Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration. Other Twitter accounts was also ordered to shut down. Anyone remember if an Austrian Corporal was that narcissistic? |

Maybe he can start to use the CIA and other agencies to investigate Democrats, Liberals, all other 'leftists', and those on the right that also disagree with him. #resist |

Martin Niemöller seems to be a smart fellow. I don't think that Trump are listening! |

People always play the 'Hitler' card when they really have run out of valid points to make. As in 'Bagger Vance.', their last ball in the bag. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I think what most are having fits over is the fact a 70 year old with no political experience whatsoever made it to the big house over all those "darling" career politicians. Now that is 1st class brinkmanship :-) |

Like other Presidents have done for Decades? No, Nixon was not the first to do that. At least as far back as Eisenhower put J. E. Hoover onto Martin Luther King Jr in 1955. Presidents I know that have done that... Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, yes Nixon, Reagan, Bush the Elder (former head of the CIA), Clinton (he did it as Arkansas Governor too), Bush the Younger, Obama... Likely others filling in the gaps, and going way back before Eisenhower. https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Honestly Sirius, this would have made my freaking day, if he wasn't a Billionaire extremist. No billionaire knows anything about the common man, hence no billionaire will ever look out for the common man. No matter how many lies they feed the common man. Trump's rhetoric is nothing new, we've seen this before in the last hundred years, a couple times. #resist |

I do so love to watch you grown men pee all over yourselves trying to beat a dead horse. Most amusing. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
