You obviously have a position at Ford that allows you to inhale a lot of paint fumes. Surely you are under immediate threat of Sharia law there. Can your wife still walk around with her head uncovered...and does she have to walk four paces behind? Trudeau is a shit Muslim though...he drinks beer and eats pork just like that other Muslim Obama. Please remember me while you are reading your Quran and saying your morning prayers towards Mecca.

People are often incapable of dealing with the world as it really is, so they invent an alternate reality. It is why so many peoples sex lives consist of being in a dark room by themselves with the volume turned down. But dealing with reality is sort of like meeting an imperfect person and dealing with your own faults. Can be painful, but the results are far better IMHO. Same thing with policy, deal with the fact that Coal is not coming back. In fact, had we not let China and German take a lead in Solar... Again, we need to deal with the rise of the Alt-right. My fear is that protestors and protest movements, along with journalism, will be harshly dealt with by Trump. Once again, he views the world as such a zero sum game and he cannot stand loosing.... https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/alternative-right I do have sympathy for peoples frustrations. I am into trains, and remember when a main rail line in Eastern Kentucky was abandoned back in the 1970's. The world has been passing eastern Kentucky by for a few decades now.

Sophomore and so far she has a lot more common sense than a certain older brother and sister. There is no reaching across. When the whole thing goes south, we will see what Trump does when he is desperate. In trying to make America great we are denying what makes America great...you can't make this stuff up....

Actually, ride the damned train between DC and new York City, or go anywhere in LA. Our most vibrant cities and our brightest economic engines are very diverse. Our poorest counties in places like Kentucky and Alabama are almost entirely white and a drain on the diverse part of the nation. Our diverse, urban population actually financially supports our rural monolithic population when it comes to benefits. Every group had supporters doing goofy things. Trump, Clinton....and there was a group of Sanders supporters burning American flags IIRC....

Yeah...drive that nice Escalade on a road trip to Ohio and I will take you down to Vinton county. Maybe not outright Nazi's, but i can introduce you to no end of Trump supporters just as insane. Actually I have a 15 year old daughter who does not engage in this.

Living longer also means more Americans will suffer needlessly when the republicans cut Social Security and Medicare/medicaid for our citizens. ...and less anyone think I am giving Hillary a pass... Which is why it is so despicable that the republicans are letting the Genie out of the bottle here. This 18 year old girls is an actual outspoken Trump supporter....not all Trump supporters are like her, but the Genie is definitely out of the bottle again. She is actually a Canadian citizen....

Which was my whole point in posting the Alt Right videos I posted. i knew there was a lot of racism in America, did not think there was enough to elect the cheeto messiah! See my above Huffington post link. The author argues that this is the way the united states has always been. He is quite right....we did not go back...we have just been there all along and been good at masking it. ....last Chomsky link for today but it is only three minutes and he nails it.

It is not a lateral move in terms of having adults leading the country. Which is what my whole gripe is. I can take differences of opinion and policy. Cannot take not being governed by people who do not act like adults. And in the united States, we really, really do not act like adults.

They are also not clinically insane and electing leaders that believe in gay conversion therapy.

I would be on a plane out and never fucking come back if i personally could. More complicated in my case because I have adult children with jobs and significant others, and i cannot see abdicating my role as dad. But if I could get the whole crew on a 777 or an Airbus A340, you would not see me in the states again.

Obama in many ways is just as bad as Bush was, in that we are currently bombing how many Muslim countries without a declaration of war? In terms of our leader, which one do we want, the one who as secretary of State was part of an administration that used drones to kill 13 year old girls... Or the 70 year old misogynist who really probably should be on trial for the rape of a thirteen year old girl? We did not have an actual sane election. it wasn't a choice between candidates, it was an epic battle between not terribly creative seventh graders about who could make the most yucky statements about genitals....and emails.... If we want to be a first rate nation, we have to act like one. Americans want to be a first rate nation and lead the world without putting in the hard work and effort that takes. The end result will be dismal, methinks. Obama was far more rational than Trump will ever be, but our policies in the middle east suck....

I have not been on Facebook much in the past month and a half. This one truly is on us as a country. Trump has called out for the Untied States to commit war crimes, and the population has bought into that notion. We have just validated the last fifteen years of atrocities we have committed. The Untied States needs to be part of the international criminal court, to hold our dear leaders accountable.

I thought he was paying you a compliment, as in Shelby Mustang. The guy from Ohio who posts under the Horse handle is a dumbass some times, you have to pardon him.... ...at any rate, got to get back to work. But the Untied states took an enormous step back with both candidates. As far as I am concerned, both of them need to spend their lives in prison for a number of reasons. Clinton was in my view the more sane of the two by a long shot. ...and I kind of saw unpleasant things coming regardless of which one got elected. I bought a vintage mountain bike and I have been piling on the miles....1984 Raleigh Tamrack Mountain Tour....650b rims...love it.... As far as the future of our species, I am starting to root for the avian flu. given our lack of ability to rationally self govern, this might be the most humane ending for all of this.

Here is a parody from the left....this election is about xenophobia and the rejection of people "other" than ourselves.... Deplorable is a badge of honor with Trump supporters. The world turning dark is not a good thing....I have a friend who just got back from France and visiting the battlefields of the Somme...do we really want to start dividing ourselves again ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Somme The same assertion can be made against trump...by demonizing all Muslims, he increases the chances of a terror attack or other violence.
