    I'm certainly glad that we dodged an artillery round by the name of Hillary Clinton, no question there. At least we are certain to keep the libs away from picking the late and great Scalia vacancy.

    I like a lot of things about Trump, mainly his attitude towards the democrats who pose as reporters. Plus his unapologetic attitude about his wealth/success. Something many Republicans would typically apologize for.

    I look at Trump as the third party candidate who used the GOP platform to win. In theory, you would think that's what many people wanted as damn near everyone seems to say "both parties are so corrupt" all the time.

    The predictions from the left have been wrong every single time. Last Friday they were spouting off about how Trump wouldn't live up to any of his campaign promises. He's been signing executive orders on all of his promises all week. I knew he would fulfill some of them, but geez, he's not resting... I'm more impressed than I thought I would be. I wonder if Chris Matthews has any tingles going up his leg.

    I'm very, very happy that we didn't elect a reckless, stoopid old criminal bag like Hilarity Clinton, but, I'm not ready to give Trump a "laurel wreath" just yet. But he is certainly off to a good start!

    I love how he's already started to unravel Obamacare, and now he's got the Keystone pipeline alive again. Good for him, and good for the USA.

    Instead of a 1,550 mile-long wall, I really wish he'd consider lengthy strips of land mines and patrolling by aerial armed drones instead. Cost would be a microscopic fraction of the cost, maintenance, and staffing of a wall, and very possibly more effective. Once "Pancho" understands that he can blow himself up by stepping on a land mine while illegally invading the U. S., or be be fired on by a drone, I suspect that we'll see a hell of a lot less of that kind of crap going on any more....

    landmines on the border is inhumane and UnAmerican.

    the huge wall creates high wage jobs for Americans who will build it, and mexico will pay for it.

    Land mines are almost never a good idea. Fence patrols, tourists, or even migrating wildlife could be destroyed.

    I felt like I witnessed the second coming of Jesus, Friday.

    I just have a warm feeling inside now, like I'm cozying by a fire.

    As long as capitalism is our system, the pendulum will swing back and forth, each President unable to stop the crashes it brings.

    Nixon, Carter (skipped Ford yes), Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump....????(D)

    This is how the system works unfortunately.

    0bama really was an amazing failure. By his own admission, going by a letter he wrote, he ran to help the situation of Black Americans. Yet all he managed to do was force through economically crippling health legislation, undermine law enforcement, worsen race relations and whine about gun control - and that in response to a few mass shootings rather than in response to the constant bloodbath on the south side of Chicago..

    John (*)(*)(*)(*)ing Podesta would have been our SOS had Clinton won.

    The same guy who made his email password 'p@ssword'.

    Democrats should be apologizing to America for even suggesting such stupidity.

    Jesus despised people like Trump ;) He despised wealth creation in general.

    I take it you dislike capitalism? It is what works, even if it has its issues. We sure as hell would not want the alternative of central government economic management, which leads only to far worse problems in the long run since such efforts invariably get out of sync with economic realities, leading to waste, and that massive political power structure leads to massive corruption also. There's also the basic problem of lack of freedom and opportunity it creates, leaving us all trapped under an oppressive system that hands us busy-work and a Lada and leaves us unable to pursue our dreams.

    Learn from history. Socialism doesn't work and it isn't needed.

    I hate capitalism because it works for the top, not the bottom. It pits worker vs employer in a never ending struggle to screw each other, that's the entire game. It had its benefits when there was a demand for labor, but as technology improves, it is totally incapable of providing the same standard of living it once did.

    I also hate government socialism, never works. What do we need? A system of worker cooperatives as we had when we colonized America. Towns and communities would produce goods and services, there was no top down employer telling others what to do, how to do it, etc. It's economic slavery, really.

    Take a factory, give it to the workers to own and operate. There are plenty of examples of this, and under that system, much of the regulation conservatives hate would disappear, as workers would be able to vote/decide their own fate. Regulation came about to protect workers from employers overreach.

    Haha that's true, something tells me Jesus would be a broke hippie, traveling the country preaching against war, government, and corporations.

    Capitalism is the best system we have. Other systems are too idealistic or not rooted in fundamental human behavior.

    Worker cooperatives were around before, and during capitalism. It's the way to go forward, as unemployment is about to SKYROCKET from automation. The only way to keep capitalism around is to heavily regulate it to the point where it can't hurt anyone. Like in Scandinavia, or what Bernie was talking about. Otherwise it will crash.

    Hopefully Trump being politically incorrect as president for the next 8 years will encourage millions of Americans to publicly shun political correctness.

    How would you create a transition to a working co op fairly? I just don't see it.

    Well, this has been introduced in England by Jeremy Corbyn. If a corporation wants to leave the country, it MUST offer the company to its employees first, and the employees can decide if they want to purchase the company to keep it in England.

    People are already doing it on their own, look up Mondragon in Spain, a town is basically the entire company, and they're making profits for everyone, not just the few at the top.

    meanwhile the unions are going with trump. And it feel GRRRRRREAT!

    the DNC sold out its support. At this point all they have is corrupt globalist elitist and fringe hate groups.

    trump has basically merged the old pro american democrat and republican parties into his own hybrid.
