Lets be honest, it is very conceivable that Trump does something that is an impeachable offense. Likely? Probably not. More imaginable than Obama or Bush? Yes 11/27/2016 9:52:22 PM |

No, those who are hoping for impeachment are looking for him to screw up so badly that in 2018, Democrats sweep the elections and they gain control of the house and/or senate. Most likely Republicans will keep the house and they'll gain the senate. 11/27/2016 10:25:57 PM |

His popularity is already incredibly low, and he's the goddamn president elect of these united states.
As for your idiot Trump supporter friend? Well, I'd hazard a guess that he will be more easily swayed into scapegoating muslims, mexicans, minorities, gays, and liberals before he completely realizes that he's been duped by a conman.
I know this will come across as alarmist, but we are fucked, here. Proper fucked. Uniquely, and indubitably fucked.
We have slowly built up a nation that has the strongest military, highest number of incarcerated citizens, largest security and surveillance state known to man, and militarized our state and local police forces with reckless abandon and little to no oversight.
And we just handed that entire system over to a mad man who openly fans the flames of racial hatred and cultural intolerance who is actively surrounding himself with members of the radical right-wing. He has, on-the-record, expressed his desire to muzzle the press and infringe on free speech and he can't control his own impulse to fucking tweet whenever he feels slighted.
In what universe does this story have a happy ending? 11/28/2016 2:36:54 AM |

Seriously he could execute people on Pennsylvania Avenue for jaywalking and congress wouldn't impeach him and his voters would lap it up.

I wasn't aware that women "letting you do anything" was sexual assault.
There are plenty of good anti-Trump arguments, but they all one from libertarians, conservatives, or classical liberals that can do more than recite MSM talking points.

What he said was absolutely describing sexual assault (of course whether he actually did it or has done it is the issue). I bet JCE was one of those people aghast at a law that doesn't allow husbands to forcibly rape their wives if they don't put out.

Leftist loved Trump... He was a democrat, he donated to Hilary... He had his Hollywood lifestyle for 20 years nobody cared.
Then as soon as he is a republican running for office... HES A RAPIST! Except as soon as the election is done, the rape cases are gone.
Interesting how that works.
Even more interesting is that of all the valid criticisms against trump you gullible hacks go with the baseless liberal tabloid smears, further empowering the orange guy

You must be desperate if you're interpreting that as literally penny for penny self-funded in entirety, just for the sake of argument. Do some homework on Trump vs Clinton's contributions and then tell me how the logic from my original statement isn't valid.

Most of that, at least since the election, is in your head. Maybe that's why you fixated on a dumb throw-away line instead of the fact Trump really is in over his head.
And who loved Trump? He literally was the biggest asshole on earth to Obama. I wish Obama was as ruthless a tyrant as the right made him out to be years ago with regards to Don.

When it comes to the hacks of TWW, There is literally NOTHING Trump could do that you wouldn't simply spin as a negative.
The man isn't president yet, and you hacks are just parroting leftist headlines as if anyone outside of your echo-chamber cares.
A leftist hack journalist trying to fill a quiet news week will pull a ton of unobjective "Trump is in over his head! Trump is unstable!" headlines out of his ass. Breaking News: The only person more ___ist and ___phobic than Trump's latest appointee is his next appointee! - liberal media
There are valid criticisms, there are baseless criticisms. If you don't differentiate between the two, less-brainwashed people see your lack of integrity and view your hate as a plus for a candidate. This applies to hacks and the media, and it's why the DNC lost. So when people see a desperate attempt to portray someone as a racist with no evidence, they defend that person because the accuser is a piece of shit.
Example: A TWW hack thinks Trump's pick of Bob Smith is racist? Well there is no evidence of that, so he must be a good guy if the idiots hate him.
As opposed to: Bob Smith's policy of X was ineffective and this is a poor choice because Y. (An actual argument) 11/28/2016 3:20:47 PM |

Plz JCE, inform us which criticisms are legitimate. We need to make TSB a safe place for you.
From my point of view the fact that Trump is just regurgitating long dead or debunked conservative "ideas" or policy (at least when he can form a coherent enough thought to give us some details of his plans)is hardly interesting, he is a republican after all. Not only have most of those policies been discussed to death in TSB, they've been hashed out fairly well by the media too. What I find most interesting is how completely shitty of a human being he is and how nearly half of the nation either doesn't care or doesn't believe it.

Quote : | "They are distinctly against illegal immigrants and muslim terrorists." |
Which is a horse shit narrative because neither one of those things are real problems. You know what the biggest source of illegal immigration is in this country? Europeans and Asians overstaying their travel or student visas. Yet, Trump's entire campaign focused on our southern border with Mexico. Which, by the way, is already something close to 90% effective at stopping illegal immigration. Is there a single post on /r/theDonald about getting rid of Europeans or Asians overstaying their visas? Hmmmm, I wonder why that is?
As for Muslim terrorists: toddlers with guns killed more Americans than muslim terrorists over the last 8 years. Yet every time there's a mass shooting by a non-brown person, it becomes about everything other than the real problem: gun control. When a brown person does it? Terrorism! Again, I wonder why.......
