1,401	daddit	Well trump bombed Syria. Where's WWIII? Hope you're as mad about his 'non-interventional' policy as I am.
1,402	daddit	Entitled liberal white girls are the fucking worst
1,403	daddit	I'm so glad you feel ashamed. Have you considered leaving this country? Yes, just leave the country and renounce your citizenship.
1,404	daddit	That's too bad, makes me proud. Agree to disagree I suppose. Take some ambien and get some sleep.
1,405	daddit	Go back to the similar comments 8 years ago, think about how you thought those people were fucking idiots, and give your head a shake. Now you're a fucking idiot too!
1,406	daddit	Yeah you should talk about how hot she is and how you'd date her if she wasn't related to you.
1,407	daddit	Whsts wrong with it?

1,411	daddit	Boo hoo your criminal candidate didn't win
1,412	daddit	That's exactly what I was going hop in here and say, man. I want to be a dad like that.
1,413	daddit	You act like they asked us.
1,414	daddit	They truly believe people aren't intelligent enough to know what they voted for. They were intelligent enough to see through the political corruption and lies, and were also angry thee favoured democratic candidate was done out of winning the primary. Hopefully this is the start of politicians realising they have to treat citizens like grown ups again and 1. Tell the truth. 2. Let the people make up their mind 3. Accept that democratic decision. Democracy works, this was a democratic decision, I am truly optimistic about the worlds future because of democracy winning through. People should watch obamas speech to see a politician taking a political defeat with dignity and class, that's how a true democrat behaves. People need to begin behaving with dignity again.
1,415	daddit	Username does not check out
1,416	daddit	Don't say cuck. Even if you aren't better than that, most of the people you say it to are.
1,417	daddit	They don't have to, Trump will do it for them.
1,418	daddit	As a future United States Sailor, I am disappointed in you, and simultaneously glad I won't have to serve with kids raised by someone like you. I will happily participate in defending your right to ignorance.
1,419	daddit	It's really not your decision if your sons join the military, is it?
1,420	daddit	You say that like you have a choice in what their decisions are when they are 18.
1,421	daddit	I feel so sorry for your sons. I hope they'll learn to ignore anything you have to say.
1,422	daddit	You mean if it is that long, right? ^^^^right?
1,423	daddit	Ditto man. My last words to our 6 month old son when we put him to bed were, "No matter the outcome tonight, we are still going to be a family, and we love you so much." I know he has no idea what I'm saying or why, but it made me feel better knowing our family will still be there tomorrow...
1,424	daddit	You're disgusting. Cuck is a serious insult. Political discussions aside you should be ashamed of your words and I hope that you're an insecure 14 year old who doesn't know what you're talking about. cuck. Safe space. Snowflake. There covered all your bases. Think about how you treat others before you spew your vitriol.
1,425	daddit	Wow! Thank you! I will be sure to pass the news along and buy him a beer or two in your honor!
1,426	daddit	What are you scared of? Did you truly believe that trump was as bad as the msm made him out to be. The things he said on the bus were just make bravado and a hundred times worse can be heard up and down the country by both men and women. I have a feeling the socially engineered racial and sexual divisions are going to evaporate now people see they are no longer politically effective.
1,427	daddit	Same hope here. I have some genuine hope that Trump doesn't actually believe the things he said about global warming, though I don't expect a Republican controlled government to address the issue. For all the people talking about how a country can't "mess up" this is the perfect counter example. The next president will either work to make the planet a livable place for my daughter or he will continue down the path of ruining it; one of these outcomes is "messing up."
1,428	daddit	He's the original dad. The daddy of all dads.

1,433	daddit	You must be from the great state of Mass where we vote for reasonable people and like our animal friends.
1,434	daddit	Especially when you're indoctrinating that in a young child. This note is sickening.
1,435	daddit	Thats why a 2 party system is such bullshit. Because of this competition they adopt opposite views for the sake of competition. If they had more parties You would see more compromise and things would get done.
1,436	daddit	You kidding? As sad as it is, the two party system is absolutely in direct competition with eachother. I was watching the election last night on my local NBC channel and you really got the sporting event vibe from all the coverage. Crazy stuff.

1,441	daddit	> That shouldn't be allowed Should balance be required on the supreme court? People vote for who they want to win, can't blame the system when people make decisions you don't agree with.
1,442	daddit	[deleted] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^0.3893 > [What is this?](https://pastebin.com/64GuVi2F/11196)
1,443	daddit	I've been the kid whose parents convinced him the world was literally going to end and we'd move to Canada and this and that. It's shitty parenting to put that on your child. I was just a little kid, I believed I was going to have to move to another country and change schools. I was telling my teachers I wouldn't have to worry about end of year assignments because I was moving to Canada.
1,444	daddit	I was talking with a 4 year old who was picking up on the mood of all the adults around him (Democrats.) This was a week ago but he said something about fighting to stop Trump. I'm very anti-Trump/progressive, but I tried to talk about how this is an election and we have to respect the outcome. In the end, we want our nation and the world to do well, so we need to fight where we need to fight and we need to work with those who won the election where we can for our mutual success.
1,445	daddit	Making your young kids politically involved is downright creepy. They don't have the agency or the critical thinking skills to be able to decide anything other than what you've told them. Answer their questions; expose them to a variety of viewpoints and ask the question "Well, what do you think?" a whole lot.
1,446	daddit	I agree. This is only how you create little robots who vote because mommy and daddy voted republican/democrat.
1,447	daddit	But she did run a campaign tacitly expressing she doesn't respect the working class (support of the TPP, fracking destroying their communities, reluctant support of minimum wage increase, etc.) and the military (I think HRC's interventionism and senate record speaks for itself here.) Many of whom are women.
1,448	daddit	You've picked one thing (in your own words). There are many to choose from. For both. Neither candidate is a good role model nor deserved anyone's full support. Everyone should have been voting reluctantly.
1,449	daddit	You must have missed the part where she harassed confirmed sexual assault victims to the point of suicide.
1,450	daddit	Well let's not forget how she sought to destroy the women that were accusing her husband of sexual assault. That's not really a role model I'd want for my children.
1,451	daddit	No, she just doesn't respect the American people or the Constitution evidenced by her lying through her crooked teeth and flip-flopping to no end. Do I need to mention Benghazi? Because it sure as hell doesn't seem like she cared about the Americans that ended up being killed.
1,452	daddit	[deleted]
1,453	daddit	Is she aware of it because you've been telling her how terrible Trump is? Or has she brought it up with you?
1,454	daddit	I'm in the same boat. And it's stupid to think our kids are going to be that far from their parents beliefs. The same happened with trump as they have every past leader. Kids siphon from their parents. I was raised catholic, and it wasn't until I hid my mid teens were my eyes opened to there not being a higher power. Religion was normal. Smoking was normal. But trump is something no candidate fit previously, he was an aggressive bully. He's a candidate I've heard a lot of republicans talk poorly about and are simply getting behind him because it means a republican change. His past comments and behavior, his entire moral fiber, are seriously embarrassing. Hurtful to many people and caustic. He rode on a similar platform to Clinton, except his was to be afraid of Muslim people, those who dare try and find their way into America. He preyed on the same fears Brexit did and unfortunately it ended the same. I would have taken a Romney or McCain presidency, in a heartbeat. They were republicans who while I greatly disagreed with, had my utmost respect. But America, by an admittedly slim margin, wanted something different. The country has stagnated in politics as usual and Clinton was simply a reminder that it could stay that way. Trump, as much as even a lot of those who voted for him disliked him, was a wild card, and considering the other republican options... at least it was different. Unfortunately he's proven in the last decade alone how unbelievably inconsistent he has been, and I wonder if a lot of republicans hoped it would cinch their ability to turn him to their desires. It's a wake up time for America. Lots of things for the democrats need to change now and if they don't, it's going to be a very long time before a progressive candidate leads the country.
1,455	daddit	And I bet every one of them just happens to have the same views as their parents.
1,456	daddit	God forbid your children are of Mexican heritage or are Muslim. It's pretty easy to scare a kid. One of my cousins was afraid he'd be deported because he knows his birth mother was an illegal alien. My aunt and uncle certainly did not tell him that Trump was going to deport him--it didn't even occur to them that he was paying attention to the election.
1,457	daddit	Typo? re-elected - respected? I mean, both work.
1,458	daddit	same on both
1,459	daddit	Good god, it's an election, not a death in the family. It happens every four years. It's not the end of the world.
1,460	daddit	Why do people act like it's such a big deal to explain this? Here, say "We live in a great country where everyone's opinion matters. Yesterday, more people in this country had the opinion that he should be the president. Sometimes, people disagree with you, and that's ok. We can all stand together in the end." Not fucking "Daughter, we've lost. It's tragic, it's horrible, the enemy has won, and the despicable Republicans are in charge."
1,461	daddit	I will instruct my daughter with my values, the same as parents have done since the beginning of time. I will teach her to love her neighbors, care for the less fortunate, and reject hate and fear of people who aren't like us. Whether she ultimately accepts those values is up to her; it's not brainwashing to teach your children.
1,462	daddit	more like disagreement turned to anger, no one was really scared of clinton, they were pissed at her
1,463	daddit	If you raise your kids to view politicians as role models, you're setting them up for disappointment. Politicians, especially at the highest levels, are almost universally people who lie, manipulate others, deal in bribery, and stoke their own egos on power. That's not the type of person kids should view as role models.
1,464	daddit	Is Hillary's corruption a good role model? I mean, no one is perfect. Maybe public people should stop being role models, and maybe we as parents need to lead more. If we keep pointing fingers at the other side and giving out labels, this country will end up spinning in circles and never be able to progress. Are you saying the loss of blue collar jobs is not important? Just because you do not relate to them doesnt mean they dont matter. Whats the point when we can diminish another human being to just a label? Will your kid ever be able to sit down with someone and hash out differences if he just sees the other person as a label and not a human being? If 50% of the population were racists and sexist, you would know it.
1,465	daddit	You are supposed to be the role model. Celebrities and politicians aren't the model for them to follow.
1,466	daddit	I actually saw someone on facebook make the argument of "We shouldn't support secession because as bad as things are, imagine how bad things for those red states will get if they are left to govern themselves. They need us" I just... this level of disrespect.. this form of "The Liberal man's Burden" is EXACTLY how someone like Trump rises to power. We have to stop minimizing the opposition. We have to stop demonizing the opposition. We have to stop thinking we are so much better and smarter and more ethical. Both sides are guilty of this and it is killing us as a country.
1,467	daddit	> I agree, but I also think you still have a significant bias to you I never claimed I don't. I will always think that Mr. "Grab them by the Pussy" is a disgusting human being and I refuse to ask my daughter to look up to him. I am not asking people to accept Trump because I cannot. (Though I also did not vote for Hillary either, if you care about such things). What I am asking people to do is to stop demonizing people like you who DO support him. Find out why. I disagree vehemently about how good a candidate Trump is and how good a president will be. That does not mean that you and I cannot find common ground. That I cannot learn from you what it is you liked about him. It does not make you a evil disgusting sexist pig that you voted for a person who said things that turned me away in an instant. That's what I'm asking people like me to do. To encourage understanding THROUGH our disagreement.
1,468	daddit	Yeah, the reaction is so strange. They act as if Christians don't tell their kids about God
1,469	daddit	Yeah kind of like teaching your kids to cross the street if you see black people walking towards you on the sidewalk. This has the exact same effect. Fear turns to hatred soon enough.
1,470	daddit	Hint: they weren't really anti-establishment.
1,471	daddit	Those incumbents didn't put up candidates that were in spite of the will of the people. Many people I know that voted for trump did so because of the crap the DNC pulled.
1,472	daddit	That's simply not true. As much as I agree with Bernie on lots of important issues, given the mood of the country, a Jewish, probable atheist, self-described "Socialist" was going to have a hard time in a national election. I talked with a lot of normal Democrats who were freaked out by Bernie's progressive positions and that term "Socialist." They weren't interested in the nuance of "Social Democrat" and the like - he was just too "out there" for them to trust. And we need to be honest and frank about the religious bigotry and the racism that's resurgent in America today. Bernie's non-religion would have played right into the hands of the fundamentalist/conservative evangelicals who were willing to support Trump despite his own personal crap. Trump was willing to play along with them, which reassured them. Bernie is a person of integrity and he would not have "played the game" to pretend to be religious when he isn't. And then there's his ethnicity. We have to face the reality that there are a lot of racists in America. Trump was very much moving into the realm of traditional anti-Semitism and his supporters loved it. The far-right would have "gone there" in using anti-Semitism opposing Bernie. Then there's the reality that Bernie is not strong on military or foreign affairs. Of course, Trump is a complete idiot on those, but the way this race was framed, Trump could get away with all that, but his opponent had to be strong on everything, and frankly, Bernie wasn't. I personally love Bernie, and politically agree with him massively, but as a general election, national candidate he never was that strong.
1,473	daddit	I understand it may be talked about. But it shouldn't be weighing on their minds! I've seen so many pics of kids crying or posts about how kids are scared to sleep... and it's like, that's not from school. That's not from other kids. Thats the parents letting them run away with the idea, or letting their own ageda creep into it. No matter your views, it's a teaching moments, not a time to instil them with fear. But that's just me I guess, everyone had their own idea of parenting.
1,474	daddit	My first grader came home asking me why Donald Trumpet touches little girl's privates. One of her class mates was going around telling kids this. Parents, quit being awful around your kids.
1,475	daddit	you can tell from the note they are so fucking white they probably think mayonnaise is spicy
1,476	daddit	Damn, how dare they be upset about being grabbed by the pussy? Or being led by someone who does so? He's rich and famous, they should be flattered.
1,477	daddit	Nope. I deserve to be in this country just as much as you are. You will regret your dumb decision.
1,478	daddit	Care to explain? It sounds like an awesome comment but I am not familiar with the reference.
1,479	daddit	The "how will I explain this to my kids" excuse is stupid and been thrown out since anti-gay parents were asking that 15 years ago.
1,480	daddit	[removed]
1,481	daddit	Take a couple fiber pills and you'll be over that in a day or so.
1,482	daddit	I survived Obama, you will survive this. Welcome to politics, someone has to loose. Here is the thing that you need to understand, Hillary was such a clusterfuck that she couldn't even beat Donald Trump. You Dems need to do some soul searching over the next 4 years to ensure that you never let this happen to you again. If you are unlucky, Donald will turn into a real knucklehead of a President and we will be ready to throw him out like last weeks garbage in 4 years. If you pull that Hillary shit again, he will beat you again. Be ready with someone that is not a corrupt DC insider and you might stand a chance.
1,483	daddit	She's the epitome of elitism and insider corruption, and you're upset she's not going to be the most powerful person on earth. Let that sink in.
1,484	daddit	She will make more money in the remainder of this year than you will in a lifetime.
1,485	daddit	Win with grace, lose with dignity.
1,486	daddit	[deleted]
1,487	daddit	But, but, he got a lot of non college educated voters. Clearly my degree in art and sociology means I have to be smarter than that guy. ..even though Trump won with white college educated men as well
1,488	daddit	Iraq wasn't defending my country. As I said, they won't serve. It doesn't bother me people will be pretend offended. You supported Trump. Enjoy your battlefield. Also as a strong supporter of law enforcement, I find your comments completely asinine concerning your hatred for cops. I didn't say I hate the military. Yet you hate the police. That's some unpatriotic shit. As I said "pretend outrage".
1,489	daddit	[deleted]
1,490	daddit	[deleted]
1,491	daddit	That reads so brainwashed.
1,492	daddit	Thanks for your opinion "omw to fuck ur bitch"
1,493	daddit	Palin bailed on being Governor of Alaska after a year or two. Trump may revel in the trappings of being President, but when the people around him have to constantly say, "No, Mr. President, you can't do that" over and over and over, he may tire of it. That's assuming he listens to his advisors. If he goes overboard and tries to force through his preferences, or goes overboard seeking revenge on his critics and opponents, he may set himself up for impeachment as Nixon did. But that leaves us with a President Pence, who is much more experienced in government, and "smarter" in some senses. There are ways that he could be more effective in pushing his religious/social conservative agenda than Trump can pushing his "make it up as I go along" agenda.
1,494	daddit	That was kind of weird to do but okay.
1,495	daddit	Hope you don't have a daughter/niece. Bravado? I played high school and college sports and NEVER heard that level of "alpha' bravado. That would have been met with a 'that's fucked up dude'. Seriously?
1,496	daddit	Well he sad he's against the oil money backed Saudis from controlling policy which Hillary wasn't so maybe there will be more investment in other energy sources. This is a radical step away from the same old lies and bank/weapons/oil interests.
1,497	daddit	*Dad-e
1,498	daddit	Dad-∅
1,499	daddit	The grand daddy, if you will

I was just a little kid, I believed I was going to have to move to another country and change schools. I was telling my teachers I wouldn't have to worry about end of year assignments because I was moving to Canada.

I was talking with a 4 year old who was picking up on the mood of all the adults around him (Democrats.) This was a week ago but he said something about fighting to stop Trump. I'm very anti-Trump/progressive, but I tried to talk about how this is an election and we have to respect the outcome. In the end, we want our nation and the world to do well, so we need to fight where we need to fight and we need to work with those who won the election where we can for our mutual success.

Making your young kids politically involved is downright creepy. They don't have the agency or the critical thinking skills to be able to decide anything other than what you've told them. Answer their questions; expose them to a variety of viewpoints and ask the question "Well, what do you think?" a whole lot.

1,446

daddit

I agree. This is only how you create little robots who vote because mommy and daddy voted republican/democrat.

1,447

But she did run a campaign tacitly expressing she doesn't respect the working class (support of the TPP, fracking destroying their communities, reluctant support of minimum wage increase, etc.) and the military (I think HRC's interventionism and senate record speaks for itself here.) Many of whom are women.

1,448

daddit

You've picked one thing (in your own words). There are many to choose from. For both. Neither candidate is a good role model nor deserved anyone's full support. Everyone should have been voting reluctantly.

1,449

You must have missed the part where she harassed confirmed sexual assault victims to the point of suicide.

1,450

daddit

Well let's not forget how she sought to destroy the women that were accusing her husband of sexual assault. That's not really a role model I'd want for my children.

1,451

daddit

No, she just doesn't respect the American people or the Constitution evidenced by her lying through her crooked teeth and flip-flopping to no end. Do I need to mention Benghazi? Because it sure as hell doesn't seem like she cared about the Americans that ended up being killed.

Is she aware of it because you've been telling her how terrible Trump is? Or has she brought it up with you?

I'm in the same boat. And it's stupid to think our kids are going to be that far from their parents beliefs. The same happened with trump as they have every past leader. Kids siphon from their parents. I was raised catholic, and it wasn't until I hid my mid teens were my eyes opened to there not being a higher power. Religion was normal. Smoking was normal. But trump is something no candidate fit previously, he was an aggressive bully. He's a candidate I've heard a lot of republicans talk poorly about and are simply getting behind him because it means a republican change. His past comments and behavior, his entire moral fiber, are seriously embarrassing. Hurtful to many people and caustic. He rode on a similar platform to Clinton, except his was to be afraid of Muslim people, those who dare try and find their way into America. He preyed on the same fears Brexit did and unfortunately it ended the same. I would have taken a Romney or McCain presidency, in a heartbeat. They were republicans who while I greatly disagreed with, had my utmost respect. But America, by an admittedly slim margin, wanted something different. The country has stagnated in politics as usual and Clinton was simply a reminder that it could stay that way. Trump, as much as even a lot of those who voted for him disliked him, was a wild card, and considering the other republican options... at least it was different. Unfortunately he's proven in the last decade alone how unbelievably inconsistent he has been, and I wonder if a lot of republicans hoped it would cinch their ability to turn him to their desires. It's a wake up time for America. Lots of things for the democrats need to change now and if they don't, it's going to be a very long time before a progressive candidate leads the country.

1,455

daddit

And I bet every one of them just happens to have the same views as their parents.

1,456

daddit

God forbid your children are of Mexican heritage or are Muslim. It's pretty easy to scare a kid. One of my cousins was afraid he'd be deported because he knows his birth mother was an illegal alien. My aunt and uncle certainly did not tell him that Trump was going to deport him--it didn't even occur to them that he was paying attention to the election.

1,457

Typo? re-elected - respected? I mean, both work.

1,458

Good god, it's an election, not a death in the family. It happens every four years. It's not the end of the world.

Why do people act like it's such a big deal to explain this? Here, say "We live in a great country where everyone's opinion matters. Yesterday, more people in this country had the opinion that he should be the president. Sometimes, people disagree with you, and that's ok. We can all stand together in the end." Not fucking "Daughter, we've lost. It's tragic, it's horrible, the enemy has won, and the despicable Republicans are in charge."

1,461

daddit

I will instruct my daughter with my values, the same as parents have done since the beginning of time. I will teach her to love her neighbors, care for the less fortunate, and reject hate and fear of people who aren't like us. Whether she ultimately accepts those values is up to her; it's not brainwashing to teach your children.

1,462

daddit

more like disagreement turned to anger, no one was really scared of clinton, they were pissed at her

1,463

daddit

If you raise your kids to view politicians as role models, you're setting them up for disappointment. Politicians, especially at the highest levels, are almost universally people who lie, manipulate others, deal in bribery, and stoke their own egos on power. That's not the type of person kids should view as role models.

1,464

daddit

Is Hillary's corruption a good role model? I mean, no one is perfect. Maybe public people should stop being role models, and maybe we as parents need to lead more. If we keep pointing fingers at the other side and giving out labels, this country will end up spinning in circles and never be able to progress. Are you saying the loss of blue collar jobs is not important? Just because you do not relate to them doesnt mean they dont matter. Whats the point when we can diminish another human being to just a label? Will your kid ever be able to sit down with someone and hash out differences if he just sees the other person as a label and not a human being? If 50% of the population were racists and sexist, you would know it.

1,465

daddit

You are supposed to be the role model. Celebrities and politicians aren't the model for them to follow.

1,466

daddit

I actually saw someone on facebook make the argument of "We shouldn't support secession because as bad as things are, imagine how bad things for those red states will get if they are left to govern themselves. They *need* us" I just... this level of disrespect.. this form of "The Liberal man's Burden" is EXACTLY how someone like Trump rises to power. We have to stop minimizing the opposition. We have to stop demonizing the opposition. We have to stop thinking we are so much better and smarter and more ethical. Both sides are guilty of this and it is killing us as a country.

1,467

daddit

> I agree, but I also think you still have a significant bias to you I never claimed I don't. I will always think that Mr. "Grab them by the Pussy" is a disgusting human being and I refuse to ask my daughter to look up to him. I am not asking people to accept Trump because I cannot. (Though I also did not vote for Hillary either, if you care about such things). What I am asking people to do is to stop demonizing people like you who DO support him. Find out why. I disagree *vehemently* about how good a candidate Trump is and how good a president will be. That does not mean that you and I cannot find common ground. That I cannot learn from you what it is you liked about him. It does not make you a evil disgusting sexist pig that you voted for a person who said things that turned me away in an instant. That's what I'm asking people like me to do. To encourage understanding THROUGH our disagreement.

1,468

daddit

Yeah, the reaction is so strange. They act as if Christians don't tell their kids about God

1,469

daddit

Yeah kind of like teaching your kids to cross the street if you see black people walking towards you on the sidewalk. This has the exact same effect. Fear turns to hatred soon enough.

daddit

Hint: they weren't really anti-establishment.

1,471

daddit

Those incumbents didn't put up candidates that were in spite of the will of the people. Many people I know that voted for trump did so because of the crap the DNC pulled.

1,472

daddit

That's simply not true. As much as I agree with Bernie on lots of important issues, given the mood of the country, a Jewish, probable atheist, self-described "Socialist" was going to have a hard time in a national election. I talked with a lot of normal Democrats who were freaked out by Bernie's progressive positions and that term "Socialist." They weren't interested in the nuance of "Social Democrat" and the like - he was just too "out there" for them to trust. And we need to be honest and frank about the religious bigotry and the racism that's resurgent in America today. Bernie's non-religion would have played right into the hands of the fundamentalist/conservative evangelicals who were willing to support Trump despite his own personal crap. Trump was willing to play along with them, which reassured them. Bernie is a person of integrity and he would not have "played the game" to pretend to be religious when he isn't. And then there's his ethnicity. We have to face the reality that there are a lot of racists in America. Trump was very much moving into the realm of traditional anti-Semitism and his supporters loved it. The far-right would have "gone there" in using anti-Semitism opposing Bernie. Then there's the reality that Bernie is not strong on military or foreign affairs. Of course, Trump is a complete idiot on those, but the way this race was framed, Trump could get away with all that, but his opponent had to be strong on everything, and frankly, Bernie wasn't. I personally love Bernie, and politically agree with him massively, but as a general election, national candidate he never was that strong.

1,473

I understand it may be talked about. But it shouldn't be weighing on their minds! I've seen so many pics of kids crying or posts about how kids are scared to sleep... and it's like, that's not from school. That's not from other kids. Thats the parents letting them run away with the idea, or letting their own ageda creep into it. No matter your views, it's a teaching moments, not a time to instil them with fear. But that's just me I guess, everyone had their own idea of parenting.

1,474

daddit

My first grader came home asking me why Donald Trumpet touches little girl's privates. One of her class mates was going around telling kids this. Parents, quit being awful around your kids.

you can tell from the note they are so fucking white they probably think mayonnaise is spicy

Damn, how dare they be upset about being grabbed by the pussy? Or being led by someone who does so? He's rich and famous, they should be flattered.

Nope. I deserve to be in this country just as much as you are. You will regret your dumb decision.

Care to explain? It sounds like an awesome comment but I am not familiar with the reference.

I survived Obama, you will survive this. Welcome to politics, someone has to loose. Here is the thing that you need to understand, Hillary was such a clusterfuck that she couldn't even beat Donald Trump. You Dems need to do some soul searching over the next 4 years to ensure that you never let this happen to you again. If you are unlucky, Donald will turn into a real knucklehead of a President and we will be ready to throw him out like last weeks garbage in 4 years. If you pull that Hillary shit again, he will beat you again. Be ready with someone that is not a corrupt DC insider and you might stand a chance.

1,483

She's the epitome of elitism and insider corruption, and you're upset she's not going to be the most powerful person on earth. Let that sink in.

Iraq wasn't defending my country. As I said, they won't serve. It doesn't bother me people will be pretend offended. You supported Trump. Enjoy your battlefield. Also as a strong supporter of law enforcement, I find your comments completely asinine concerning your hatred for cops. I didn't say I hate the military. Yet you hate the police. That's some unpatriotic shit. As I said "pretend outrage".

Palin bailed on being Governor of Alaska after a year or two. Trump may revel in the trappings of being President, but when the people around him have to constantly say, "No, Mr. President, you can't do that" over and over and over, he may tire of it. That's assuming he listens to his advisors. If he goes overboard and tries to force through his preferences, or goes overboard seeking revenge on his critics and opponents, he may set himself up for impeachment as Nixon did. But that leaves us with a President Pence, who is much more experienced in government, and "smarter" in some senses. There are ways that he could be more effective in pushing his religious/social conservative agenda than Trump can pushing his "make it up as I go along" agenda.

Well he sad he's against the oil money backed Saudis from controlling policy which Hillary wasn't so maybe there will be more investment in other energy sources. This is a radical step away from the same old lies and bank/weapons/oil interests.
