I find it interesting how people percieve me on this. I'm not a troll, per se. I will interject humor into my factual ramblings to make them more pallatable. Sometimes I can be brutally honest with the truth, and brutally honest about my opinions. I really get going intellectually when I feel an attempt to slight. Like someone calling me a liberal. How silly of someone to see me as a person that will be hurt to be called a Liberal. I find it interesting some think forward thinking should have a negative connotation.

I miss having a good family man in the office. Like Bush and Obama. You guys sold your values out for anybody but Hillary. This guy doesn't even believe in what Republicans believe in. He takes incompetence and corruption to a previously unheard of level. Not even 3 months in. Great choice. You can honestly talk about him and corruption when the Dem's best option was Hillary and all of her issues? Hello pot.. Meet kettle. Yes I can. How many hearings and never found guilty by her political enemies? How many years wasted? How much money? Look at her % of factual information compared to say....Trumps, then get back to me. Politifact, Fact Checker, any fact checking site. You chose.

You don't have to look any further the the DNC for corruption. Here is the reality of the election... If the Dems would have had ANYONE but Hillary, you guys would have nothing to complain about because you win the election in a landslide.

A lot of this I agree with with. The problem over time has been both sides love saying yes to who backs them to stay in power. So if neither side ever says no, you end up buying everything both groups want. I think this should be a starting point, then adjust with taxes and adding back in some of this as we go. I think adding 54 billion to the military, money the military doesn't want or didn't ask for, is a problem as well. Then we should also cut redundant programs. We might have 5 different programs that all do the same thing. So you can cut 80% of those jobs, and get same amount of work done.

Although it was said Repubs could have picked anybody, but they picked Trump so were gonna lose.

I agree. But DC is full of lawyers. In many ways, there are one sides truth, the other sides truth, then the whole truth. But pants on fire lying is taken to a new level.

Until recently I never realized how important a free, independent, and sometimes adversarial press is to the continuation of this great country. Our scepticism of government is warranted. The free press will eventually uncover most of the truth. It is then up to us as citizens and voters to separate fact from fiction.

If people don't vote in their best interest, it is what it is. If DC becomes so insolated or jaded, they will not know what the people's best interest is. Why I think they should have term limits, for President and SCOTUS.

Disagree...there wasn't one good candidate that would have my best interests in mind...not ever a lesser of two evils...all the choices sucked...
