It was a vague boast, he wasn't gonna just kick everyone out and obtain know-nothings like himself.

The main theme behind DrainingTheSwamp meant installing the term limits that stop career congressmen and corporations from doing whatever they damn please. Of course way easier said than done, since that'd involve changes to the Constitution which doesn't have a very high success rate. Best case scenario: if Trump is persistent about these limits and Congress fights against them, it'd pretty much expose that all these lobbyists are indeed working against the people's interests in favor of their own.

These were the possible effects of having an outsider as President that the media was trying to distract everyone from.

Transition teams don't usually make up ALL of the administration but there's usually some carryover. Worth being concerned about. I mean I guess I could post the wall of shitty things about Climate too, there's plenty on that! Like even ignoring the social implications of all of this if you want to talk policy we should be talking Climate considering Florida was already going to be decently underwater by 2100 via projections in 2015 before the Republicans won the entire White House. Maybe in my lifetime I'll get to see what SMB3 World 3 looks like on a real world map (source for Florida projection is http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2015/02/climate-change-economics/florida-coast-map as a direct result of global warming and climate). I'm just saying what it looks like y'all are about to get is a standard Republican presidency with maybe 1 or 2 laws passed that are Trump platform exclusive because pretty much every Republican hates him and they're sitting in majority everything. I also don't genuinely believe he's anti-establishment at all considering his team, I remain skeptical going into the administration. It's just this realization that politics are still politics, to attempt to isolate them from corruption is one of those impossible promises.

http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article113765158.html#storylink=cpy and for fun here's Kris Kobach thinking the wall will actually happen and get through Congress (we all know it won't.) Kobach's kind of a slimebag (look up Arizona SB 1070, pretty eugh) so I hope he doesn't stick around.

But are there truly grown men in this world?!

Democrates acting like comunists, or are they really comunists?

Their ideals align closer to it.

Democrat ideology is basically Peter Pan: take from the rich, give to the poor. Naturally this would make them look like good guys, champions of the oppressed and less fortunate, and they'll do the things to maintain this image. Protecting you, the single parent in poverty, the college student, or the racially oppressed minority, from the evil Republicans. But Democrats are also smart and calculated, they know that most of these people will never get to the middle-class for varying reasons. Speaking pessimistically, but the more people that move to the middle-class, the less of a base Democrats will have to project their message. And so they need people to stay poor. There are two ways to do this:

- Cripple the middle class, thus making it harder to stay there (and for young adults to get there).
- Open your borders to immigrants who have no realistic shot of moving up in society.

Liberal government can work when it doesn't go too far towards the above. But it's seen as less "American" compared to it's conservative counterpart which more favors capitalism, nationalism, and promotes the working class.

It's also a good thing.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

Even the school posts a few pages back are kinda weird.

School pushing liberal agenda worldviews on little children? Like what? Sharing your milk and not calling names ot those different from us? Not hating others?
What are republican agenda worldviews if thats whats liberal agenda worldviews?

Yeah I had a similar issue except I got stuck on "immigrants basically have no realistic chance of success" and was just in shock at how self-prophetic that statement was.

Yeah Robin Hood, still get those two mixed up. :(
I didn't say it was bad it's just a different approach to keeping the population financially balanced, which works when done correctly. And can be criticized as communist practices.

Conservative "agendas" (or ways to get people to adopt the lifestyle for better wording) tend to be more religion based. Not as popular since church is optional and it's easier to reject a sacred lifestyle, at least in the west anyway.

By success I meant moving into a situation where they're not being taxed by the government. In the broader sense success is relative, merely moving out of whatever country they're coming from could count as that.

I genuinely hope you meant to say "socialism" and not "communism". Like, this is a genuine hope.

this is like a landmine of ideas.

Religion based as in hate the gays? Considering this was from a post that claimed the schools were forcing liberal agenda on little children it sounds like you are complaining about that? What other religion based things could it be that are not being taught to little children? Lying is bad, stealing is bad etc are all common thigns to teach them and based on religion but you complained that liberal agenda is being pushed into them negatively so you are not tlaking about that.

What is a sacred lifestyle?

Being easy to reject it in the west, does it mean that in  comparison to russia and countries like Iran where the church and state force the population to follow one religion is that the sacred lifestyle?

Why are those things good to teach to kids? You complained of the liberal agenda and have no characterized it as being the one that is not the religious point of view of the world, so the religious one is the one that you class as good. Why?


If you are only mad about having specific bathrooms for trangenders then this seems like a weird thing to rant about, since from there to "agendas" that need to be crossed it seems like a useless ammount of energy into it.

The repeated digs as comunism as if its something to be scared of kinda show you dont know what you are talking about as well.

Since we're on the whole Peter Pan thing, in the Disney movie, he was illegally smuggling children into Neverland using illegal substances to "make them fly," and that even though he claims to be in good relations with minorities (read: Native Americans, Mermaids, and Pixies), two such minorities are kidnapped on his watch because he's too busy cavorting with a girl (Wendy the first time, Tiger Lilly the second time).

So yeah he's a perfect liberal.

Socialist would be more accurate, it's more a dig at the idea of people losing it at the idea of their income being taxed.

I can concede to my comment being hyperbolic, taking values from either/or is fine when it's not being taken to the extreme.
And yeah religion being mandatory in some places, yuck.

The pirates under his command were going to attempt to mutiny at the start of the movie because they were running low on resources/wealth as Captain Hook was ignoring that problem to fight Peter Pan. So yeah, I guess he makes a good republican. Or at least a good George Dubya.

Yes I've watched Peter Pan QUITE A FEW TIMES.
