Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[smeags]

I have no doubt there would've been a bunch a protests regardless of who won, but yeah, their time could be spent being more productive, like digging out bunkers and fallout shelters.

[Rome]

Some of them are flat out hilariously stupid. 

Whatever.  I'm a white male.  I'm good.

Some of them are flat out hilariously stupid. 

Whatever.  I'm a white, straight, male.  I'm good.

fixed that for you.

Oh, it's definitely a given that they'll happen. It's also not really a protest when the thing you're protesting can't be changed, it just a gathering of cry babies who didn't get what they wanted.  Stiff upper lip, kids. You'll get another chance in 4 years.

[Rome]

People have to protest this guy and his brown shirted minions.  .  Every farging day.   Obstruct him.   Block him.  Shout him down.  Sue him in court.  And if you're met with violence because of it, dish it right back at them.  They want it anyway so might as well oblige.

[smeags]

good luck with that.


btw - if anyone is looking for a great investment opportunity, I would suggest looking into concrete and rebar companies.

[Sgt PSN]

* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;

I like it, but good luck with that.

* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);

The federal government is the largest employer in the US.  While current employees may not care about a hiring freeze, I'm sure they don't like the idea of reducing the size of the federal workforce.  Also, the federal gov't is the first place that like 90% of veterans look for work after leaving the service.  I'm sure they'll approve.  Well, they will, but vets have been voting against their own interest for years, so I guess this is no different. 

* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;

I'm not even sure exactly what this means or how it would be useful without an example.

* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;

See #1 

* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;

See #4.

* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

See #5.

On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:

* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205

* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership

* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator

* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately

* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.

More coal, more oil, farg the environment and the Native Tribes living on energy rich ground.  Also farg your kids and grandkids and their kids.  You'll probably be dead by then anyway, right?

* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward

See Fifth

* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure

I'm gonna give that money to Exxon and BP instead so they can use it to develop safer pipelines that won't break and contaminate the environment.  They definitely won't keep that money for themselves.

Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:

* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama

We're going to pretend that stillupfront was never here.

* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States

This might actually be the scariest thing about him winning this election.  Nearly everything else he does during his term can be undone in the future.  Except this.  This shtein is for life. 

* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities

Good luck cutting off federal funding to places like LA, Philly, New York and, oh yeah....Washington DC.

* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back

Well that doesn't sound expensive at all. 

* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.

Considering that terrorism exists in pretty much every part of the world, is he even aware that he's suggesting to just close the boarders completely?

Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.

I actually have no problem with lowering some corporate taxes as a means to stop corporations from shipping jobs overseas.  But in reality, I'm not nearly educated enough on taxes outside of my own W2 to really make an informed opinion on this.  But it sounds half decent to a nitwit like me. 

End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.

This sounds good I guess.

American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.

School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.

Common core seems awful from the little bit of it I've been exposed to. 

Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.

These "savings accounts" wouldn't happen to be connected to Wall St, would they?

Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.

End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.

So we're going to rely on Mexico paying us back?  We're not even going to get the money upfront?  Lol. Ok.  Also lol @ the idea of locking up illegals.  I can't wait to see the chain of Trump Tower, Prison & Casinos popping up around the country to house these people.  Because they'll definitely go to private prisons.

Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values.

I want to to receive a text alert every time someone complains about me on the phone or in an email. 

Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.

I can't get passed "ethics" without laughing uncontrollably.

[smeags]

if term limitations somehow happens, he moves from being a racist, hate mongering 1%er, to a racist, hate mongering 1%er that got term limitations.

[Sgt PSN]

Pretty much. 

[Rome]

The best that can be said for any of this at least it wasn't Ted Cruz.

romey, cruzing with the positive vibe.

[Geowhizzer]

The best that can be said for any of this at least it wasn't Ted Cruz.

Exactly.  And as abhorrent as Trump is, I wish him good health for four years, as the alternative is Mike Pence.  I'd rather have Hunter Pence in the Oval Office.

[Rome]

Or Sixpence None The Richer...

😁

[smeags]

you have the propensity to mock.
