President Donald J. Trump

[chefist]

I'm all in for The Land of Fruits and Nuts.  The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia can at least annex The State of Massholes, too.

I lived in San Diego for 3 years...loved it. However, it has changed a lot even from the 1990's. Remove defense dollars from CA, and their economy will collapse.

[ItsOver]

I was born and raised in California.  It sickens me to see what has happened to my beautiful state.

A gorgeous state.  The last time I was in San Francisco, it was truly sickening to see such a beautiful locale going down the crapper.

This is so worth a re-post.

Say what you will about the Dems so far they've been good sports about handling their loss.  It can't be easy given the amount of crow they're chewing on.

That's an interesting point.  I only have my family to go by, but I get the impression there's a harder edge to it there.  Take race, for example:  my American redneck relatives might make casually racist comments watching some protest on tv but would treat any individual black man decently.  Can't say the same for the ones in Norway.

Exactly, I have the same experience with France. Relatives and friends on the right here are pretty moderate when compared to what I see over there.

Does she have to be investigated, prosecuted and convicted before we discuss a presidential pardon?

Come to think of it, does Trump not need to actually be president before concerning himself with a pardon- or can he start tomorrow?

Ha!  Excellent.  "Freedom!"

its naive to think that he wont appoint atleast one career politician to his cabinet, we should be hoping he appoints the best possible people for these spots, regardless of political parties etc.

What's naive is thinking that those who are traditionally held up as the best people are actually the best people. Usually, they are not. I get that Gulliani and Gingrich will get cherry spots because they're part of his campaign but hopefully they're not ALL like that. Ron Paul for secretary of the treasury!

Ron Paul for secretary of the treasury! 

Something that we can all agree on. 

Too bad he was not elected a few years back... He was the best choice.

Before my father passed (I was 5 years old then), we'd go up PCH 1 every summer to visit my grandma in Ukiah.

Was this filmed in some kind of time warp where it's the 90's again?

I bet there's lots more we agree on. I think from now on we have to stop thinking about political parties being able encompass all of one's thoughts and feelings on everything. They can't. I voted Republican strategically, because I thought it was what the country needs right now but I certainly don't believe in all things Republican. I'll still fight for the liberal values I believe in. This is a country founded by liberals, after all.

According to the Constitution, chosen electors of the Electoral College are the real people who will vote for president, when they meet on Dec. 19 in their respective state capitals.

However, there is nothing stopping any of the electors from refusing to support the candidate to whom they were bound or abstaining from voting.

There’s even a name for it: becoming a “faithless elector.”

At least special scientific advisor to the president.

Yep, bunch of squint-eyed peasants obsessing over hanging on to their scrubby land by their fingernails like they have for generations.  I love the culture, but every time it reminds me why Grandpa signed over his birthright and left.  Thank God.

Now for the question... Would THAT bring riots from the right?

Sounds like the media spokeholes are doing their intros before the event.

Of course it would.

Trump supporters are riding a natural high right now. I remember Obama supporters were similarly euphoric after Obama won his first term.  I also remember thinking that really hard work was ahead. Turning the economy around was no small feat. Granted it was a jobless recovery for the first 6 years.  It's still a recovery. The company I work had several really rough years prior to 2009 but saw steady improvement since. This year has record year in our 30+ yr history. The recovery is real.

The Donald is going to have to acclimate to a completely different way of conducting himself.  He will have to attend meetings and keep his mouth shut about classified information.

It will be interesting to see where we are at in a year, two years, etc.  I hope he does well.  Because we are all on the line.

I had two competing sets of thought on election day; one was like what VQ said - that Americans are by nature rebellious Yankees who don't take kindly to a queen trying to be shoved down their throats, the other was that there are many institutions that indoctrinate the youth into liberalism (colleges, Hollywood, music industry, media, etc) and were heavily on her side.  I'm glad the rebellious Yankees won.
