President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

[Moderator1]

Save your applause for Elliotte, who made an excellent suggestion: When we lock the old one, which served its purpose well, start a new one looking ahead to the Trump administration and all that. Yeah, we could just keep the old one going but, like with American politics, it is time for a new start.

We were nervous about the other one but with rare exception, it worked well. The minimal dustups ended quickly. IF it gets slightly out of hand and we shut this down for a day or so, please don't freak out and call us names. Just take a deep breath and come back in a day or so.

As always, the rules are a little more lax. Can't take it, don't post. You know what's over the top so don't do that. No outing yada yada yada.

Carry on

Is Don really going to do his Presidential exercise every morning?

What's his morning routine going to be? Running? Biking? Hooping it up?

 

[Moderator1]

Jogging in Central Park - doesn't he want to keep his Trump Towers base and hit the White House a couple of times a week?

Get past the title, and this is an excellent job of describing what has happened through this campaign. He is unsparing of the role of journalism.

Trump commuting into and out of Manhattan would paralyze much NYC traffic every Friday and Sunday evening/night. This will annoy people but also serve as a symbolic issue if/when his administration screws up. All administrations screw up, even the ones I've supported, so please don't take that as a partisan prediction.

America died on Nov. 8, 2016, not with a bang or a whimper, but at its own hand via electoral suicide. We the people chose a man who has shredded our values, our morals, our compassion, our tolerance, our decency, our sense of common purpose, our very identity — all the things that, however tenuously, made a nation out of a country.

Stopped reading after the first paragraph.

I hear he cheats at golf.

Would love to stay and chat but on the advice of many I'm off to Tuscaloosa to try and escape my cares for a day.

I have long wearied of Moyers, but he didn't write that ...

Is this the thread where we come together as one united message board?

Corrected. Thanks.

Like he ****ing cares.

Carrying this over from the old thing read:



1. They ain't takin' nothing back in two years. Ironclad voter repression, gerrymandering and brutal controls on the media will see to that.

2. They ain't "playing defense," filibustering, obstructing or delaying anything. The GOP will take that weapon out of their hands within 15 minutes of the opening gavel and completely nuke the filibuster on everything. The Dems aren't obstructing a ******* thing.


Trump's pick for the SCOTUS seat will be nominated and approved by instantaneous acclamation voice vote as an extra **** you to the Obama regime. No hearings, no delays, no debate, no nothing, bam zoom and swear him in.

Annoying Manhattanites would only endear Trump more to his base.

Thanks for proving Gabler's point.

Trump also wants to go around having more rallies, which is totally not fascist or anything, but one thing it would do is bring those same traffic problems TO his base.

Why would it have to paralyze street traffic? Just fly the chopper to the roof of Trump Tower.

 

[Huggy]

He certainly wouldn't be he first leader to run his country out of a tacky monument he built to honour himself.
