It'd be a lateral movement in terms of evil to evil. Look at what policies Kaisch has passed not sound clips he's said during primary debates.

it's really sad that this is so true,
I wish Trump picked Christie as his running mate instead of Pence

I am sure LGBTQ folks are overjoyed right about now.
Oh, I'm hysterical, don't worry.
Have a guess.

Wait, didn't he bribe Pam Bondi with Trump Foundation money to drop the Trump U case?
So I guess nepotism and bribery are okay forms of corruption now. Trump supporters want to comment?

Seeing this list of persons I just cannot imagine Trumps government not falling due to enormous internal conflict, rows, bursting ego's and incompepence.

Coupled with the intense media scrutiny and the mockery he will get daily on late night TV..now that I have made peace with the result, feeling a little bit excited for the shit show.
Should the kids be allowed to be on the transition team since they are currently running his businesses? I thought they would stay out of it in a so called "blind trust" or is that only after January 20th?
And is there even laws or checks to make sure that Trump doesn't secretly help his businesses for profit?
Like how do we know he doesn't cut some sweet deal with a foreign government to get some favours for his business to make money?

It seems likely he will do a lot of this. He may even boast about it. There will be no consequences.

^I for one welcome our new lobbyist overlords.
This is gonna be a fucking disastrous presidency.
I hope by the end of it every Trump voter feels like a jackass.
This.
As gleeful as I am to see Christie get the shaft, this is probably super true. Compared to the rest of the folks, hes a god damned Einstein.
But if Jared Kushner don't like him, I think Christie has a one way ticket to fuck yourself town.
Trump is gonna listen to other Trumps first and foremost.
Rest of the folks gonna have to really really band together to counter act the Trump-lings wishes.
This sounds like a total dystopian future.
At least all his 4chan/Reddit fans will get screwed over when net neutrality is gone, that'll be funny.
Lobbyists and Big business? Why, I never.

Is he draining the swamp so that he can re-fill it? I don't understand. Can I get a Trump supporter in here to interpret what's going on here?
This administration is gonna be four years of rolling disasters

These picks are so absurd that I can't even believe they're real.
"Let's appoint this guy to the FFC...so he can dismantle it."
"Energy Independence? Hmm...Better give it to the Big Oil dude."
"Let's appoint this guy to the FFC...so he can dismantle it."
"Energy Independence? Hmm...Better give it to the Big Oil dude."
Maybe that's the ultimate game plan. Appoint enough people who would be more interested in dismantling the government organizations they lead rather than serving it, so in the end he has one less thing to worry about as President. Less work is better right?
I dunno, maybe someone who actually voted for him can explain this better?

Sanders and Trump supporters were literally voting for the same thing and approaching it in different ways. They were both supporting their candidate on the idea that the American citizen, the American worker, and the American consumer were being taken advantage of by plutocratic forces.
Somehow, people felt that Trump, as an outsider and extremely wealthy businessmen, would create a climate of job growth by misconstruing the idea of 1. Reducing immigration and increasing deportation. 2. Growing business practices.
Sanders supporters united behind his and Elizabeth's Warren messages of exploitation by corporate and shareholder interests which have contributed to the growing disproportionate wealth among the ultra wealthy, and have contributed to the inability of small communities to grow and thrive in all states not near population centers that aren't able to contribute to shareholder margins, and to the large index groups that control real estate interests making housing unattainable by so many people in the country.
All speculations of Trumps cabinet have placed corporate interests at the top of the cabinet positions whether it's oil or wallstreet being in charge of departments they have conflicts of interests with. None of these people support citizens, all of these people support corporations and special interests.
This isn't the fault of the electoral system. This isn't the fault of the uneducated. This isn't the fault of people with racist tendencies. This is a political system that has been poisoned with forces that transcend the power of physical conflict.
This is what we do:
1. Stop protesting this instant. This does nothing but disrespect all of the citizens that voted for our president-elect. Their votes matter, and they're on our side trying to find solutions to today's issues. Blocking roads only makes everyone mad. Protests are going to be very important, but today is not that day. When that day comes protest in front of government buildings. Protest their phone lines and their mail boxes. Protest their workspace.
2. Find what you can do at a local and state level. The parties put so much pressure on national issues that it takes away from what is happening at a local level. Find solutions for local problems and educate your friends and your neighbors, and the people who don't share your overall political issues! For those in highly urban areas without early voting, this is a horribly broken part of our system that suppresses the voice of all voters. This must change because exercising your right to vote should be simple and sacred. Protest has to occur on a state level, and it can't wait four more years.
3. Liberals: You will never change people's stance on abortion. It is ok for people to not support abortion and to not one's right to decide. At the same time, those opposed need to stop trying to prevent measures that help contain population growth. This is a dead end issue that divides, and does not unite. Conservatives: You cannot deny people the peace and respect that you simply want for yourself. People are not that innately different. We have focused on social issues as primary voting issues for 2 to 3 decades, and we're letting other areas slip. You are not being oppressed. This is the ending of oppressing of others. Young adults: The ridiculousness of "safe spaces" and "microaggressions" must stop. What's happening right now is the real threat to you, not the expression of beliefs that contradict your own.
4. We need to support candidates that support investment at a local level and empowers workers. We need unionization to support a collective interest. We need reinvestment in the infrastructure of our communities, whether it is bringing safe water to Flint, solving the traffic crises of major metropolitan areas, or bringing modern internet and small modern businesses to the communities that have been left behind in the rural states. We must demand the Modern Deal.
5. We need to remove the monopolized power of mega-corporations, and that can only be done by demanding it at state and national levels. They are dangerous because they have the resources to act as powerfully as foreign state entities, but that power gets exerted on our country, our government, and our ways of life. Power that only cares about short-term profit margins. Not about you and your family at home, not about the continuance of our country at a national level, and not about the plights of people present and future, biospheres, and our environment at a global level.
We can only do this by being smart, supporting each other, and pressuring government when decisions are being made that adversely affect us.

Why the hell would someone in government care about a protest that blocks a poor single mother from getting to work at a grocery store on time that might get her fired? Why risk people's lives when emergency services can't get to medical emergencies? I'm also currently in a town of a massive 11,000 people. Trust me, nothing about the protests is inconveniencing me.
Because it gets you noticed. That's the point of a protest.
Also, your post is basically "Stop caring about anything besides economic reform," as if that's the only issue striking Americans today. When you think liberals should stop caring about stuff like abortion rights, you abandon the people who actually showed up to vote for the Democrats on Tuesday.

I cannot wait for Senate confirmation hearings for the people Trump picks for his Cabinet. Democrats don't have the numbers to block nominations, but they'll get to ask pointed questions. Is Christie going to want to answer questions about the bridge, under oath and on television? Is Bondi going to want to talk about the Trump Foundation? Is Trump going to want her to?
