Trumpiversary

[Perd Hapley]

I know the election was on the 8th, but the 9th is the day I'm celebrating. The 8th, until late at night, was depressing, because we could only expect that Her was going to win. Besides, I was working the polls all day. But the 9th was glorious.

Here is democracy dying in darkness, as the WaPo delivers its vital observations about how often Trump has mentioned the election over the past year.

Because, obviously, Trump is the one who can't move past the election. Every other human in the nation has accepted that he clearly won, and has dropped the matter.

Too bad Congress has squandered to victory be refusing to do a single damn conservative thing.  We still have Obamacare, no wall, funding for planned parenthood, no mandatory e-verify, no tax overhaul, no end to importing foreigners to replace American workers, and no pro-gun legislation.

I saw somewhere that WaPo I think, did a whole "alternate news" thing for the anniversary, reporting on the last year as if Clinton were President. Besides the overt bias, just very sad.  

I think one of the things I have learned over the last year is the greater than expected extent of the absolutely fragile portion of our population. I'm amazed that around a third of our population can even set foot outside of their safe space without dropping dead from an emotionally triggered heart attack.

As I said to some whiners after the election, "Suck it up buttercups. I had to cowboy up and drive on for the last eight years. Your turn."  


Oh, edit - BTR posted at the same time as me. I agree with him. The Rs have been squandering opportunities left and right. IMO in large part due to the GOPe that would have rather had Hillary win (and probably voted for her).

And the bill for that failure will come due next year.
The Stupid Party® will lose big time to the Evil Party©. I expect both houses to fall under Demoncrat control and the *expletive deleted*it show will be on come January 2019.
It is hard to understand the hatred for Trump being so strong that the republicans will willing cede control in order to stymie his agenda.

 "The Rs have been squandering opportunities left and right. IMO in large part due to the GOPe that would have rather had Hillary win (and probably voted for her)."

I don't think the R's are squandering anything.  I think it's pretty obvious that GOPe are deliberately doing what RINOs always do...not govern in the best interests of the American people, but rather themselves.  It is obvious.  The trouble is that R Americans will either stay home or vote D in 2018 and we'll wind up with even worse.  I think our Republic is in the final throws unless some actual patriots who step up because they believe what Thomas Jefferson said; "In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."

^^^ This.

This thread is not about Congress. It is about the joyous, providential defeat of one Hillary Millhouse Clinton. We have plenty of threads where we can (and will!) complain about the steaming trainwreck which is the GOPe, but this is not one of those threads.



Be happy, you deplorable deplorables!

OK, you are right!

Trump should switch parties and run as a Democrat.

-flyover will still vote for him. He has not totally betrayed them and will be able to truthfully or plausibly claim the R Congress sabotaged him

-democrats always vote for the D candidate who is most likely to win, and just change their principles as needed

Bam, Trump 2020. If he comes out as gay at the right time, he would be untouchable.
