The idea that Trump is going to "oust" the plethora of seats that just voted him down is a pipe dream. He can't even pass a bill he ran on.

A simple google link to opinions. Opinions are just that. And your claim that the sky is not falling is also just an opinion.
My link led to verifiable data. Again, where is your link to your claim, YOUR OPINION, that the sky is not falling?
You can dish it out but you can't take it.

Whether one likes Donald Trump or not, it seems a strange thing to take pride in.

The majority of the voters want Trump for another term.  That is great to hear. |

Treating a thread praising a POTUS whose approval rating was at 36% yesterday as anything other than the laziest trolling imaginable is just futile. |

With the failure of abolishing Obamacare, Trump has identified those bureaucrats he needs to drain the swamp with for starters...it will be a bloodbath... Ahilk |

While true, I don't think Trump (or any of his team) have shown anywhere near the level of strategy or forward-thinking to form any sort of coupe in that regard. This "Trumpcare" disaster is only going to further geld his effectiveness. In reality, Trump can't do diddly against House Reps who don't vote his way, and his popularity is non-existent. The worst of any president at this time in the office. If anything, he's sort of helping us out with the mid-terms. |

Don't get me wrong, he's not got a snowflake's chance in hell of it ever happening but his supporters cheering on the prospect is deeply disturbing. |

If there's one thing creating a dummy media account to scan the uber-conservative news feed has shown me, it's that a good number of rural evangelicals, fresh off the teat of 8 years of Alex Jones and his "there are flies on Obama! He's a demon!" circus, are perfectly willing to get behind, it's a coupe that results in what basically amounts to a Christian theocracy. Thank goodness we built in some safeguards to dummy-proof the system to some degree. |

I don't know how to create a dummy media account and don't want to research this with my real information - care to share a brief summation of it?
There's nothing really that I can do about any of it, but do want to be as informed as possible. The last thing we need is a Christian theocracy. I hope the checks and balances prevail.

There's no real reason to watch Jones unless you're wanting to see the type of product-driven conspiracy stuff being feasted upon by the lowest of low information conservatives who lap up conspiracy videos like a cat does cream. That and the humor of it all. Suffice to say Jones will say ANYTHING to get clicks on his page and vids, which he uses to sell B.S. stuff he pitches. Here, have a laugh: mediamatters.org/video/2016/10/10/trump-ally-alex-jones-i-was-told-people-around-clinton-shes-demon-possessed/213712 I wish I could say that type of crap is atypical for a segment of the (mostly poor, white and rural) people Trump is currently bilking for their vote. But it's not - they vote based on stuff like that. |

But it's not - they vote based on stuff like that. I was LOLing like crazy until your last two sentences - that scared the snot out of me. I live in a rural, white, poor area, and now I am REALLY afraid of my neighbors. I don't have much interaction with the locals... I'm a bit of a recluse... but, WOW, I am never going to do or say anything in the check out line at the grocery store that might reveal that I am a knee-jerk, bleeding heart, tax-and-spend liberal Democrat, and atheist to boot.
Thanks for the info!
