There is no doubt that Bill and Hillary Clinton are c*******ts, especially with Hillary's affiliation with Saul Alinsky. That film of Dinesh Dsouza, "Hillary's America," was a real eye opener and must have had a great affect upon the outcome of this e******n.


I pray you are right. I am a student of history. Look at the pattern since Watergate. The pendulum swings are pretty regular. Carter had one term. Reagan-Bush had 3. Other than that each party gets 2 terms at a time. Figure in the swings in Congress. There is a good chance Democrats take the Senate and cut into the House majority in 2018. If Trump has a good economy he can survive for 2 terms. After that Democrats take back the White House.

However the timing for Republicans at least for the Supreme Court is really good. With any luck at all, Trump will appoint 3 Justices. Then for 20 years we will have the Court. Hopefully whoever Trump picks will not flip on issues like Roberts did.

No, no, Witless, we need to shut down the entire Democrat Party completely. Look at these two websites on their ties to the occult and international child sex trade with p*******es:

Keep in mind that the Tea Party and Citizens for Self Governance under Mark Lavin and Mark Meckles wants to create an Amendment to the Constitution under Section 1 Article V for 8 year term limits for Supreme Court Justices, making the Court a virtual appendage of the President's appointed Cabinet members.

Listen to me. In America what you said does not happen. I don't know how long you have followed politics. I have followed it intensely since Watergate. Each party takes over and seeks to destroy the other so it can't come back. The opposition party always does come back, always. In 2009 Obama, and Pelosi, and Reid had more power and far more h**e than we do now. They could not destroy us. We cannot destroy them.

I am telling you to prepare for the ultimate rebirth of the Democrats. We have 2 years controlling Congress and 4 to 8 years controlling the White House. Obama and his henchmen forgot the iron rule I just laid out.

Watch the Democratic Party for the next year. The Clintonistas and the Obamabots are out. They are part of the failed past. Elizabeth Warren and the Bernie beserkers could take over. More likely some fresh face governor will rise with corporate backing. Those corporations who backed Obama and Clinton won't all go to the Republicans.

Democrats are almost where we were in 2009. They will try to stop or slow down Trump. Hopefully they will suffer the same failures we did in stopping the Great Obama. After that a few things will go wrong on our side. Trump, and the House and Senate leadership will begin to snipe at each other and Democrats will claw back power.

That is why I say, Republicans must get most of their agenda done quickly. Reforming the bankrupt entitlements will be painful. Expect the skumocrats to parade out starving women, children, and minorities. That is how they will take back power. That is reality.

I wish you were right, but I do not think you are.

Whitless, if what you say is true, and you seem to be a very perceptive poster on this forum, Republicans need to virtually pull the rug out from underneath these Demonic-rats.
In the first 100 Days, Trump must:
1) Tell the 11 million I*****l A***ns to "Get Legal" or get out.
2) Tell American corporations who hire I******s to "Get Legal" or go to jail.
3) Institute a Flat Tax for personal and corporate filers of 15%.
4) Abolish the IRS
6) Pass the REINS Act to whittle down the unconstitutional 645 bureaucracies not listed in the 8 enumerated powers under the Executive Branch
9) Build that Wall on our southern border 100 feet high.
10) Create a new WPA to rebuild our infrastructure to help end unemployment and open up energy developement.
11) End the tax inversion against overseas corporations to bring them back home.
12) Rebuild our military.
13) Embargo all trade with c*******t nations such as China, Cuba, Iran and Venezuela. Why are we trading with the enemy?
14) Overturn NAFTA, TPP and levy tariffs on US businesses selling their goods from foreign shores.
15) Stack the Supreme Court with young Constitutionalists that can serve 40 years to save our nation from creeping Fabian Socialism and the North American Union.
16) Prosecute the Clinton apparatchiks and the Clinton Foundation to restore Equal Justice Under the Law.
17) Audit the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank and Abolish the Federal Reserve Bank. INFLATION is k*****g the American economy.
18) Shut down all other federal banks, central banks are unconstitutional: Federal Housing Authority Bank, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Export-Import Bank, Overseas Pacific Investment Corp, and any other harebrained government bank siphoning off our treasury.
19) Pass a Balanced Budget Act.
20) Overturn Obamacare and replace it with the American Health Care Reform Act of 2013 to open up interstate commerce and restore free markets, free choice and privacy.
21) Shut down the entire US Department of Education, return education to the states.
22) Restore all B*M lands to the states ownership and management. These land assets hold hundreds of trillions of dollars that will pay down our national debt.

Please feel free to add to the list. Maybe we should ask for this within the first year?

Thank you for the nice compliment. I don't agree with everything on the list, but your central theme is the same as mine. As time goes by things will get harder. Trump is a deal maker and many of his deals will anger you and me. Trump has already accomplished much before he ever enters office. He has stopped the unstoppable march off of the cliff America was on. He will rescind the Unconstitutional executive orders of the Obama. The stock market has already jumped in anticipation of the easing of stupid Obama regulations on business. I don't know how he will fix Obama Care but at least the log jam of doing nothing caused by Obama will be gone.

I look forward to bankruptcies in the solar industry and the rehiring of West Virginia coal miners. Obama's winners will be losers and vice versa.
Even if the only thing he does is put a few non C*******ts on the Supreme Court it will be worth it.

OK, you are more level-headed about this time table and what is possible. At least Trump will attempt to work across the aisle instead of hardcore gridlock. Ironically, Harry Reid established the Simple Majority for Senate advise and consent on Supreme Court nominees. Perhaps I should email Mike Pence, since he will have oversight of the 645 bureaucracies?

I would also like to see the National Right to Work Act passed, ending forced dues and membership and restoring honesty and control of the purse strings to the rank and file members. We need a ban on labor unions organizing government employees, which is corrupting our politicians and government, a grave national security risk.

Expect a lot of disappointment. Every President who comes in disappoints. Don't forget half the country still v**ed Democrat. They will come back with a vengeance for the midterms. You have to remind yourself what Hillary would have done if she had won. Trump stopped that. Plus like when George W. Bush came in, the bureaucracy is filled with Obama's vermin who will leak secrets and sabotage Trump at every turn. It will take time to drain the swamp and roach bomb the crevices of Washington.

Donald J. has a lot of folks coming in with him who know where the bodies are buried in Washington. Hopefully between them and his own experience of dealing with New York State Democrats he can get something done before Democrats inevitably bog him down with filibusters, lawsuits, and r**ts in the streets. Reagan was the Republican President who in spite of dealing with roadblock Democrats, actually accomplished great things. Reagan the brainless actor, as Democrats saw him, somehow managed to move forward. Obama had no people sk**ls dealing with Republicans. Donald J, building in New York is used to dealing with jackasses. He was actually friends with Chucky Schumer. Hopefully Senator Schumer will be ready to deal.

Don't take what I say as good advice. I am good at pretending to know what I am talking about. Measure what I say against your own ideas and those of others. If we are all here in a few years, and if I am right about one or two things I will be happy.

Witless, you sound like you know what you are talking about. Don't be so modest.
Last night an old friend and I were gabby yak-yaking, trying to figure out if President Obama would pardon Hillary. After all, the President was privy to that secret server, emailing her every day under a pseudonym.

If he pardons her, who will pardon the President?
If FBI Director Comey and the DOJ bring no charges against Hillary, then Obama need not pardon her and saves himself.

That brings us to the Trump administration who vows to drain the swamp.
Trump could prosecute both Clintons and Obama after appointing a new Attorney General and FBI director.

Or, Obama might cut a DEAL with Trump and destroy the Clinton Crime Machine and entire Democrat Party.
This would usher in the rise of Bernie Sanders and his socialists.

But there is no such thing as an honest socialists and no socialist economy has ever succeeded.
Would shutting down the Department of Education and Common Core and allowing States to teach the Constitution save our nation from all this corruption and stupidity?

It would. Donald will set his own priorities. He is a deal maker and will horse trade. The problem is he will be pulled in a hundred different directions. I fear he will have to disappoint some of us and that will give his detractors opportunities to chip away at his support. I think Comey will proceed with his cases. I think Trump will just stay out and see what Comey does. Actually the longer Comey takes the better.

Very soon the Democrats will reorganize. Some new hero will try to make a name for himself by standing up to that ' r****t Trump '. Having Hillary twisting in the wind for months in the headlines will make that very difficult to maintain.

Trump is the one guy who can create jobs and raise our standard of living for all of us. There is nothing r****t about him or this advisor Steve Brannan from Breitbart. It is wearisome that the Democrats keep playing the greed and envy card, the race card, the h********c and xenophobic cards over and over. Once we get back to work, the hatred of other people's success should come to an end.

All the raises in the world and mandates for increased minimum wage are useless until we shut down the INFLATION machine - the Federal Reserve Bank, this c*******t government central bank that is destroying small businesses, hard honest work and the moral of our citizens who can never save enough to get ahead as the currency is systematically devalued. The working poor are pitted against the working poor, fighting over the government scraps they throw out to us. There has to be a way to beat the system, this inflation racket. Barter? Bitcoins?

Under Trump there will be more inflation. I do not agree with all of the new spending he will do, but I made up my mind I would not like everything he does. The interesting thing is, Democrats will have a bigger role than Republicans did during Obama. A year or two into Trump's term, Republicans will balk at his spending. Democrats will actually be the swing faction, sometimes aligning with Trump and sometimes aligning with Republicans against Trump. Trump the deal maker will be better than Obama was at managing it all.

Believe it or not we are going back to a more normal state of operation. The Obama 8 years of paralysis, executive orders, etc. was an aberration.

"Under Trump there will be more inflation"? Why? How?
Are you assuming that the only way to pay down our huge debt is to print more funny money?
Chile went bankrupt 30 years ago because of its Pay-Go Social Security system, just like ours, some $211 trillion in unfunded liabilities according to Ben Carson. Chile did not print more money, but instead, sold off state lands at a handsome price to their own citizens.

Next, Chile semi-privatized their Entitlements, allowing each citizen to place his retirement benefits in his own personal bank account and invest it back into the economy. It was HIS MONEY, not the Government's money. Today, the Chileans retire with double the benefits that we Americans collect because the Chileans can invest their money in stocks, bonds or assets. Their economy is that much richer than ours and their stock markets are more stable.

Chile solved its national debt and Entitlement unfunded liabilities by using free market forces. The United States could easily do the same by returning Bureau of Land Management property to the States for economic development. Newt Gingrich estimated that even if the Federal Government leased its land to oil and gas companies, we would pay off our national debt in 5 years. It's all doable, but nobody wants to do it.

Why? The Democrats want to seize all the private property and nationalize the economy for the upcoming North American Union, the merger of all the nations in the northern and central western hemisphere. The next f**e crisis, "G****l C*****g" will provide the alibi for a centralized planned economy. George Soros and his Bilderberg Group want to create spheres of interest, fully aware that the 3rd World will starve to death. Peace at any price is like negotiating between Neville Chamberlain and Adolph Hitler. The Democrats have to be exposed for their hidden agenda.

I am not saying that what Trump will do is bad. I watch business shows. Big investors make ginormous bets on what they think the business environment will be. Under Obama we had a very low inflation economy. That may sound good, but of course we know it was not. Even though we had low inflation, Obama managed to run up big debt. Between Obama and the Federal Reserve, monetary policy drove the economy. Fiscal policy will drive it under Trump.

Most of the reason we had low inflation was because we had an economy growing too slowly. Between over regulation and Obamacare, the economy could not grow very much which kept inflation low. Mostly wage inflation. The central bank tried to reflate the economy with low interest rates and easy money, but it did not work.

Under Trump we will have infrastructure spending, like under Obama, but this time we will have tax cuts and deregulation. That means higher growth, wage inflation, and more government borrowing. That means inflation.

Some inflation is healthy. Trump and Yellen will have to balance higher growth against inflation.
