FEDIT POLITICS Thread

There are no threads outside of the Dodgers forum. Quit trying to spread such rumors.

 

Really want to see who he elects as the new supreme court judge.

I'm trying to be positive, and hope he's not as ultraconservative as he had to be during the election. But a super conservative judge having such power scares me in terms of rights for those in the LGBT community, and abortion rights as well. I know it may not be popular for some, but those are basic human rights (marriage equality and pro-choice) that I feel strongly about (as someone who isn't very political at all) and seeing them fall would suck.

 

LMAO yeah like Assange didn't just thoroughly prove how vile and disgusting the DNC and their brethren are
I suppose you preferred a 300% increased in muslims refugees and a continuation of failed policies of BO?
NO ONE is going to overturn Roe v Wade thats a joke and you don't even believe that yourself

 

Best prepare for the sucking

No fay marriages. However if you want to marry three of four times we're going to streamline that process

and bills? Sweat not. The bankruptcy laws will be loosened too. It'll be as easy as tearing up your credit card statement.

 

See what I said about poor losers.............

Give them a break, they're just kids trying to process. Obviously clueless because they are chanting "Impeach Trump!" Like many presidential candidates, Trump did a good job of picking a running mate that would be even more hated by the opposition. No true Democrat should want to see Trump impeached.

 

Are you kidding? You make this stuff up just to agitate yourself?

Of course you've not listened to the RNC shills clamoring for overturning Roe v Wade? Where have you been? The Reps now have all the power bases, what's to stop them? The ONLY thing in womens favor is that Trump is not a religious nut. That doesn't mean that the RNC is not. They have been shills for the Religious Right for decades. And now they have (some) control. Of course Trump is such a loose cannon that we'll only know when it happens, but he has yet to shown any progressive leanings.

And No, I do not want a single immigrant who has not been vetted. Whether they are Muslim or Latino matters not. We should be examining ALL who wish to enter the USA.

And Yes Assange proved, once again, to be an ally of America. But wasn't it you claiming him to be a traitor not so long ago?

 

Yeah one of the parts I like more about Trump is that he's (apparently) a fierce USA loyalist. (one who curries favor with Putin but hey who's looking?)

Obama was SUCH an international weakling that it hurt us in many ways.

Then again Trump claims to want to kill NAFTA and in the same breath hires illegals for his hotels "because they are cheaper"

It's a fucking coin toss and we don't win unless it lands on edge. And even then I doubt we win

 

Nice. I see that Rube has commented in the Fetid thread and I'm locked out of replying.

Nazi Mods...

 

No i never stated anything but praise for both Assange and Snowden.
They gave up their entire lives to make their points an I respect them immensely and always have although it did take me a moment to digest
And Trump hasn't shown he has progressive leanings are you joking?
The guy went after the Bushes on the wars they started and had repeatedly said he wants to do right w universal healthcare
He isn't a radical right kind of guy and that should play well amongst the bastards on the hill
The far right can clamor all they want about abortion but there is no way its going to go down
Too many people believe in the right to choose for that to happen although yanking a late term fetus is pretty damn close to murder
I would go so far as to say 70% of society would lose their shit, including me, if they tried to overturn Roe v wade or shut down planned parenthood

 

And yet you agree that Planned Parenthood has been targeted by the RNC relentlessly for the past 4 years?

An interesting subtext will be how much Trump is compelled to align with RNC shit smearing parades. Trump's overall popularity 'should' permit him the flexibility to shun RNC idiots like Mitch McConnell who propose all sorts of ways to abridge previously obtained rights.

Could Trump create a broad based cross aisle coalitions? Perhaps. Since he's openly bragged about donating to campaigns on both sides of the aisle he may have some political collateral to accomplish things. Of course those things are not looking so good for many but we'll see.

 

I rather expect incidents of open racism to grow far worse with the POTUS leading the way.

 

so why are you bringing up Hillary?

who cares what she'd of done? She lost and life will be better when she goes away.

Personally I agree that she's an idiot and an uneducated war hawk entirely clueless about global politics... of course the same could be said about Trump I suppose
