This past vote was a selection not an election. It is the elite rich and corporations that make the decisions. DUMP TRUMP will be lucky to do 10% of what he has promised. He will not drain the swamp, but add to it. A see the next 4 years a repeat of the 1960's of many protests and poor old DUMP TRUMP getting impeached!!!!!

it will will be more of the same, Trump cannot change things. He is already surrounding himself with Bush Jrs advisors. The establishment ain't getting smashed. Dave's view that it doesn't matter who is president is a broad brush statement but there is some truth to it.

Obama was not allowed to do anything they handcuffed him straight away. They let a black man in the White House which was as much as Obama was going to be allowed achieve. Hell a black man making policy was never going to happen. It had Trading Places written all over it.

When the hoopla wears off Trump will be rolled out to give the same bullwhip presidential speeches as the puppets that came before him.

They asked Sanders if he could have carried the day. He said something like hindsight is 20/20 but didn't say yes or no.

I honestly don't think Clinton or Sanders or Trump would have or will be able to make a difference, but the thought that our president elect has time to f around on Twitter defending Pence from being booed? Gtfo.

Yes, I strongly believe Bernie would have won. He would have won Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Turnout would have been better and some of his people unfortunately went to Trump which obviously wouldn't have happened had he been on the ticket. His being on the ticket would have at the very least flipped the Senate. Off the top of my head, he would have helped Russ Feingold retake his seat in Wisconsin.

9 unforgettable quotes by James Mattis
By MADELINE CONWAY


12/01/16 09:03 PM EST

James Mattis, the retired Marine Corps general who has been tapped to be Donald Trump’s secretary of defense, is known for his earthy aphorisms -- eminently quotable, often controversial observations on everything from the romanticism of war to the secret of personal success (“I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word,” he once said.)

Reporters who have followed the arc of the four-star general’s 44-year military career from the sands of Iraq to the halls of the Pentagon have dubbed his many pithy statements “Mattisisms”; his legion of admirers call him either “the Warrior Monk” or “Mad Dog.” One Mattisism -- “be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet" -- even made it into a popular video game.

It turns out that Mattis, whose gruff exterior masks a finely honed intellect, may have influenced the president-elect’s view on waterboarding with something of a Mattisism. Trump told The New York Times that he was “surprised” when Mattis told him he does not favor the practice.

“He said, ‘I’ve never found it to be useful,’” Trump relayed. “He said, ‘I’ve always found, give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I do better with that than I do with torture.’ And I was very impressed by that answer.”

Here’s a sampling of Mattis’ most memorable quotes:

1. ‘It’s quite fun to shoot them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people.’

In 2005, he offered this commentary on war: “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.”

He continued: “Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”

At the time, after the remarks made some waves, Marine commandant Gen. Michael Hagee noted that Mattis “often speaks with a great deal of candor.”

2. ‘There are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.’

Speaking to some 200 Marines, Mattis had this advice, according to longtime reporter Thomas Ricks: “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”

Mattis elaborated, “There are hunters and there are victims. By your discipline, cunning, obedience and alertness, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim. It’s really a hell of a lot of fun. You’re gonna have a blast out here!”

And: “I feel sorry for every son of a bitch that doesn’t get to serve with you.”


3. ‘I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.’

Mattis remembered offering this message to Iraqi leaders following the invasion, Ricks reported.

4. ‘Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.’

According to the same report, Mattis advised his Marines in Iraq to stay vigilant. In that vein, he also once said, “There is only one ‘retirement plan’ for terrorists.”

5. ‘There are some people who think you have to hate them in order to shoot them. I don’t think you do.’

“It’s just business,” Mattis said.

6. ‘In a country with millions of people and cars going everywhere, the enemy is going to get a car bomb out there once in awhile.’

Matt was characteristically blunt in a 2007 interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune. “There are going to be good days and bad days. Bottom line,” he concluded.


7. ‘PowerPoint makes us stupid.’

Mattis gets a third of his briefings on the presentation platform, though, The New York Times has reported.

8. ‘I get a lot of credit these days for things I never did.’

For all his proverbial outspokenness, in a 2004 speech at the Naval Academy, Mattis was reportedly modest about his accomplishments.

9. “Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”

Mattis, a student of counterinsurgency tactics and strategy, sent this advice to his Marine unit only a few hours before they helped kick off the 2003 invasion of Iraq. “While we will move swiftly and aggressively against those who resist, we will treat all others with decency, demonstrating chivalry and soldierly compassion for people who have endured a lifetime under Saddam’s oppression,” he wrote.

curt, time on twitter, really? this is what people like about Trump, he's not a politician. instead of being completely presidential he's being real, he's not a phony. that's what people are attracted to. it does not bother me one bit. I don't agree with the government ideas he has but as a person I respect him for not being a phony and saying what's on his mind.

Hey, I'm not anti-Trump. But how does he even have time to be on Twitter?

I'm an elementary school art teacher. I work a part-time job at a comic book shop. I spend my share of time online. Not exactly the most stressful life and I can barely find time for Netflix.

He has a family, businesses, and now the presidency. I guess I'm just really lousy at time management.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people.”

Because he has a lot of stamina and does not sleep much.

Really, how long does it take to pick up your phone and make a tweet? Maybe he has some preferred time to do this in his day, like reading the newspaper on the can in the old days.

Trump has made a lot of fanciful promises, lets see what he has fulfilled in a couple of years time.... ..........that is if he is still alive.......he's not a young man and seems to generate very strong feelings both positive and negative which can active nutcases. Access to automatic weapons for the deranged could be his downfall. His security personnel have their work cut out in the next few years keeping the big guy vertical and not permanently horizontal.

I hope he does shake things up but only if it is more positive than negative.
