Anti-Trump Hysteria

[Tom Joad]

This is some funny shit. :D

The response to the shock has been to turn campuses into kindergarten. The University of Michigan Law School announced a ”post-election self-care” event with “food" and "play,” including “coloring sheets, play dough (sic), positive card-making, Legos and bubbles with your fellow law students.”

Stanford emailed its students and faculty that psychological counseling was available for those experiencing “uncertainty, anger, anxiety and/or fear” following the election. So did the University of Michigan’s Flint campus.

Meanwhile, even the Ivy League wasn’t immune, with the University of Pennsylvania (Trump’s alma mater) creating a post-election safe space with puppies and coloring books:

At Cornell, The Fix reported, students held a "cry in."

Yale had a ”group scream.”

At Tufts, the university offered arts and crafts, while the University of Kansas reminded students that there were plenty of “therapy dogs” available.

At other schools, exams were canceled and professors expressed their sympathy to traumatized students.

I suppose a 2nd Amendment solution to the Trumpkin harrassment problem would be more to your liking.

But you obviously are not.

Perhaps a "Therapy Dog" would help.;)

Do you think your Tricare would cover that?

http://21stcenturywire.com/2016/11/12/post-trump-liberal-meltdown-counseling-cry-ins-therapy-dogs-and-poetry/


According to NBC News, Democratic staffers were so distraught over this week’s election that “therapy dogs” had to be brought in to help workers on Capitol Hill cope with their vulnerabilities and hurt feelings.

Therapy Dogs included two golden doodles, two American Eskimo dogs, and a beagle mix – walked around the offices of the House of Representatives.
The dogs were organized by NGOs the Human Animal Bond Research Initiative, Pet Partners, the Pet Leadership Council and the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council.

Their press release says that Democratic Party staffers needed, “the help of a non-judgmental, furry, four-legged best friend that enjoys bipartisan support.”

I guess that's one way of saying the Dog doesn't give a shit who won the election.

Boy is Lyin Ryan drooling to have his chance to end SS and Medicare.

I've got a 'therapy bat' in the corner of the kitchen. It's my very own Louisville slugger from when I was a kid. Sometimes I take it into the back yard and bat the hell out of some whiffle balls. It's very therapeutic.

Anyone disposed to scoff should drop by. They won't believe how well it works.

[Tom Joad]

Number one, Ryan ain't in charge.

Trump is the Big Kahuna and Trump has said he's not going to cut Medicare or Social Security.

Number two, even though the Democrats had their asses handed to them, they are still going to have 48 Senate seats and they only need 41 to block anything like this. They would have to be a bunch of gutless pussies not to.

Oh shit! Maybe we do have something to worry about. :eek:

Anyone who believes a single word of Trump's campaign promises has rocks in their head. That dude changes position within the same sentence with no punctuation. :rolleyes:

[CarlV]

Yes, The Goppers have 2 years to make a difference before the chance for Dems to grab the Senate, maybe even the House if he is as bad a POTUS as his cabinet picks are looking to be. The pinheads that voted for him will probably believe it is all Obama's fault, but will it be enough?

Sure, because you've been right on the money about Trump all along.

There's a veritable gold mine of past posts of yours that will demonstrate what an awesome prognosticator you are. That is unless you've deleting the Hell out of them like you Gal did all of her embarrassing emails. ;)

[donquixote99]

At any time they choose, the Senate, by mere majority vote, can do away with the time-honored filibuster rule and say a bare majority can pass anything. This is the so-called 'nuclear option' discussed during the government shutdown episodes.

I'm betting that in these Days of Trump, the nuclear option finally goes off.

OK, I'm going to stick my neck out and prognosticate that Ryan does not get his way with Social Security and Medicare.

If I am wrong you can go back to this post of mine and embarrass and humiliate me the way I am going to use Bob's past posts about the impending Hillary Clinton landslide to embarrass and humiliate him. :D

Interestingly, they don't yet have a replacement plan to support the "repeal and replace" mantra they've been chanting for 6 years. At most, they'll tweak it, change it's name, and sing its praises.

Pretty fast I hope.

It's a suck ass piece of legislation.

By the way, whatever they replace it with will be suck ass too.

The only solution that will work is single payer.

Are you really this gullible, Mike? Trump will slap his gold leaf embossed name on ObamaCare while allowing that ludicrous RWNJ shiny object of selling insurance across state lines. We'll all be buying our health insurance through some shell company based in Delaware.

Grow up, bro.

I hear some people were gullible enough to believe Clinton would win in a landslide.

I hear some people thought he might turn Texas, Georgia, and Utah blue.

If you don't believe me I can pull up the posts of the idiot who said those things and show you. Do you want me to?;)

This is the kind shit the machine wants you to believe so the whole caboodle can be disregarded as hysteria. This is the kind of shit that creates stories for the masses. This how the propaganda machines works. They focus on the little shit to piss people off instead what peoples fears really are. Look at the comments. That is exactly what they are going for.

The "machine" hates Trump.

That's part of the reason why I like him.

And yeah the "machine" hates the left and tries to denigrate them at every opportunity. But so much of the left is so damned wimpy that they leave themselves open to it. Bernies one of the few lefty's out there that showed any backbone. And he got thrown under the bus.

The establishment (I prefer to call it that instead of "machine") also pulled out all the stops to try to throw Trump under the bus too. But he beat them. I admire him for that. And boy have I taken a lot of flak for saying stuff like that.

[donquixote99]

Sticking with the belief that Trump is on your side, TJ?
Ho ho ho.

See you at the real revolution.

Hell I'm all ready persona non grata with just about everyone on this forum.

What have I got to lose?

Here goes.

The establishment hates him.

That's a plus.

I like him on trade.

I like him on infrastructure rebuilding.

I like him on foreign policy.

I want to see Obamacare axed. Although I don't think he'll come up with anything better, but I would still rather move on from this failure.

Supreme court? Who knows. I will say that Obamas master strategy of not making a recess appointment sure backfired didn't it?

I like the fact that he will be a strong leader. Obama, the great conciliatory accommodator got us nowhere. I like Obama. He's handsome, charismatic, cool, smart, but he's a push over.

I don't like his tax plan.

I'm a little concerned about Roe vs, Wade, but the truth is I think Trump is a closet liberal on social issues. I think Ted Cruz pegged him right about the "New York Values". Except to Cruz and his followers that's a bad thing, to me that's good.

I also think he's probably an Atheist. I think that thing where he said the Bible was his favorite book was total fucking bullshit, which is fine by me.

I also think he's brilliant. Absolutely fucking A brilliant. He ran a campaign that defied all conventional wisdom and he would up making all his detractors look foolish in the end.

I consider him to be the enemy of my enemies, and therefore my friend.

He took down Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Hillary Clinton. Just for that he's already done a great service to this country. I'd give him a medal just for that.

[finnbow]

AH, people do like to confess. Deception gets wearisome, we want to be ourselves and loved (or at least forgiven) for it. SO, you confess, you love Big Trump.

We knew.

Here goes.

The establishment hates him.

That's a plus.

Question: who does Trump hate? Who's adulation does he crave? Con men hate their marks. Trump will want what he does not have--the admiration and respect of the rich, the educated, the upper class, the ones who now, you say, hate him.

I like him on trade.

I like him on infrastructure rebuilding.

I like him on foreign policy.

You haven't the foggiest what he will actually do on these things. How could you? He doesn't.

You like Trump, you don't like Obama. Got it.

I don't like his tax plan.

Heh. The tax plan is what shows whose friend he is. He needed cash during the campaign (yes he did), and the price he paid to get it was to publicly commit to this revealing plan. This is the big man brought to heal.

I'm a little concerned about Roe vs, Wade, but the truth is I think Trump is a closet liberal on social issues. I think Ted Cruz pegged him right about the "New York Values". Except to Cruz and his followers that's a bad thing, to me that's good.

You project what you want onto him.

I also think he's brilliant. Absolutely fucking A brilliant. He ran a campaign that defied all conventional wisdom and he would up making all his detractors look foolish in the end.

You're the sort who likes Big Men, that's all.

I consider him to be the enemy of my enemies, and therefore my friend.

Wrong both times, I think.

He took down Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Hillary Clinton. Just for that he's already done a great service to this country. I'd give him a medal just for that.

Let's see where we are in four years, then see about medals.

[Pio1980]

So John Bolton is on tap, thank God that warmonger Hitlery didn't get in.
And, if Trump recoils from the unanticipated responsibilities and abdicates, you have your antiestablishment champions Pence and Priebus running the OO. Congrats!

Don't worry. Under the Trump administration tax cuts will be for only the wealthy. We still have enough middle class to carry the burden.

Tax cuts, and rebuilding infrastructure, repeal ACA, anything to keep the wealthy from paying their fair share which is the GOP credo.

What's that leave as far as paying for it? Either increase taxes on the working poor, the unemployed dumbasses who voted for dump. Or, making their children pay for it with increasing our national debt. (to China)

The deficit will balloon if those cuts are enacted.

I don't have any reason not to take Trump at his word.

Oh wait, I do.

There's this Dude on the internet who goes by the screen name donquixote99 that says I shouldn't. I gotta admit, that's one helluva compelling argument.

On the other hand all I have as evidence that Hillary can't be trusted are her own words in those leaked transcripts where she tells her big donors how she has a public position for the ignorant proletariat masses and a private one for them.

I can see that I'm going to have to really agonize over which way to go on this one.

[donquixote99]

I could argue with you more, TJ, go though what are good reasons or bad reasons to think this or that. But what's the fucking point. You have your reasons to think what you want and say what you want to say. Arguing will not make a fucking bit of difference. What you think does not make a fucking bit of difference to me. Engaging in smartass contests is stupid, and I will never do it again with you or anyone.

I apologize to all readers for the amount of it I have done up to now.

Speaking of slugs, I saw Hillary on the tv today. Or what's left of her anyway. If y'all missed it she says keep up the fight on all fronts. As for her, it looked to me like she was about ready to slither back under a rock to prevent her slime drying out in the sun.

[donquixote99]

Are you capable of introspection, Wasguy?

If so, you might ask yourself why you're being such a sore winner. I mean, you always were RW, but you didn't used to be so nasty. Why does a Trump win make you want to go online and try to be as offensive as you can be?

As I've said before, only a candidate as widely disliked and mistrusted as HRC would have been vulnerable to a stunt like Comey's, a stunt so transparent that even Charles Krauthamer, Bill Kristol and Glenn Beck attacked him for it.

Look at the electoral map.

Everything went pretty much as expected with one big exception.

The Rust Belt.

That's where the election was lost for her.

She lost that because the Democrats threw the working stiffs under the bus.
