People protesting against Trump in other countries is fucking idiotic, no.. he isn't your president because you don't live in the USA, morons!

You're the moron, USA has a big impact on the global economy and also the way he handle the climate change policies will have a huge impact on the world as well.

[D3ads]

Fine but then you or anyone else is protesting against things that haven't happened yet, based on speculation of how you perceive he will handle things. He has just been sworn in, let's perhaps wait till he handles those things badly first maybe? It's like people outside of here protesting against Teresa May because of Brexit, nothing has happened yet! Actions speak louder than words...

yes, let's wait for everything to collapse to protest, that's a great idea.  it's just like waiting until your car crashes to put on your seatbelt, or waiting for until you have a heart attack before you start caring about your health.  ??

[D3ads]

Your analogies further prove the point I'm making! You don't know if you will crash your car.. you don't know if you will have a heart attack..You don't know that "everything is going to collapse"... unless it actually happens. Speculation speculation speculation...

Give.

The.

Man.

A.

Chance.

That's it.

Or else you can carry on predicting Doomsday and living in fear about non-existent Hitlers, your choice.. just don't expect others to swallow it.

I don't see what your point is over this... we shouldn't prepare ourselves for potential problems because we don't know if they'll happen?

Your house is not on fire, you only think that it will catch fire but in reality there is no way to tell if it will or not.

No.. Prepare yourselves for the possibility that it could happen, just don't say that it is an inevitability...

Read this on Facebook this afternoon, quite relevant...

Quote

When did we become so binary as a society?

If you don't like Obama you are a racist.

What if I think that he is a good guy but I disagree with his foreign policy.

What if I think that he is a phenomenal public speaker, but dislike the way he handled a particular situation.

If you don't like Trump you are a system leaching libtard.

What if I think that he is an abhorrent individual but was the lesser of two evils.

What if I think that running Bernie out of town at the DNC sealed the Fate of the Swing Vote and all but guaranteed Trump was elected.

When did we stop actually weighing the policies and listening to the candidates instead of blindly voting for the letter next to their name that affiliates them with one party or another?

Everyone nowadays seems to be a special flower who demands that their opinion be heard, but they are unwilling to listen to the opinions of others.

I really feel that there is no place for someone like me who actually takes the time to listen to the other side even if I strongly disagree. I don't unfriend people because of their political views or outlook on the world.

Do you know what would make America great again? If we stop being so self-important and actually listened to those with opposing views and understand that they are people as well and their opinion matters just as much as yours, and if you are willing to listen to what they have to say they might be willing to listen to what you have to say.

The only way to grow as a person is to step outside of your comfort zone to attempt to learn something new. Running and hiding in your safe space and surrounding yourself with people who believe exactly the same way as you do is a good way to divide everyone instead of coming together and growing as individuals and as a society.

When you see the guy and how he managed to get elected it's enough proofs for me, building a wall to "protect the country" tells you enough, puting a global warming sceptic as minister of environment tells you enough.

If you let a monkey drive your car, you don't have to wait and see him drive to know that he will crash.

The choice was between him and a way more evil version of him with a vagina and an ambition to drag the earth into WW3, so relative to that I'm glad he won, but on the large spectrum of available candidates, not so much. Out of all of them, the world got Donny and Hilly, lol.

This entire thing could have been avoided if good people were the final candidates, but good people rarely become final candidates when it comes to power.

So we were stuck with what one side though was the most horrible (Trump) and what the other side thought was the most horrible (Hillary), I don't see a way to win in a situation like that.

Don't get me wrong, I think he was absolutely the best possible outcome of the two candidates (might as well not count the rest, like 3rd parties cause Americans never vote for them), but overall, I kinda hoped someone like Rand Paul or Ben Carson would take it. Very down to earth, level headed and common people with somewhat common professions.

Where am I going with this? I don't know, we all got what we deserved. Enjoy . If you are a die-hard anti Trumper at least give the man a shot, he hasn't done anything of big (positive or negative) significance yet.

 

Also a little offshoot about the rioters, fuck those people. They are smashing up local businesses, people's valuable possessions and infrastructure, they're likely destroying the businesses and material items of people on the same ideological side as them.. No long term thinking in the brain of those cunts.

Building a wall to stop illegal immigrants from coming into the country sounds like a logical plan to me.

As for Climate change, I'm not an environmentalist so I'm not going to comment on it much but it seems clear that China is the world's biggest polluter contributing some 30% of CO₂ emissions in the world, whereas the US is about 14%. Compare images of American cities from the 70s to now, there is much less pollution, the skylines are much clearer whereas China has pretty much always been a smoggy mess. I'm sure that the Trump administration will get on board somewhat with the Climate change deal in time but they will be looking at China to pull significant weight because they are the main issue.

Lol at people saying "We gotta give him a chance..."

I don't have to give him shit, and if it was up to me, he and his incompetent team would be inpeached today! These people are not qualified to run a kindergarten, let alone a country.

Obligatory gif:

I don't find these comparison gifs to be all that fair. I've seen others that are pro trump  about his saluting or something. Context is important

this is gonna be a mess

Attacking the media constantly is pretty stupid. The media made him w/ their distortion about immigration and climate change- they can fully turn on him pretty quickly if they feel theatened

Come on man, you know I got nothing but love for you but this is just bullshit and you know it.

Building a wall sounds like a logical solution to keep people in or out. In Berlin it was feasible because it was 27 miles. He's talking about a border that's 700 miles and that Mexico is going to pay for it. Sure, the Great Wall of China might have been over 13.000 miles but that took over 2000 years to build. I'm not saying they can't build a 700 miles wall, it's just not worth the investment. It's bullshit, all of it. Like a kid running for class president and demanding that, if he get's elected, there will be 3 lunches and soda machines in every class room. It's NEVER going to happen.

He denies climate change and within an hour after he took office, the White House pages for climate change were down. They made a statement about not wasting time on policies like that and that they'll focus on coal mining, which is completely pointless endeavor. Sure, I understand the China remark and I agree with it. But that's not what he's saying. He's denying global warming.

I'll never give him a chance. I'm not saying he will burn the house down, but I don't find that unlikely at all. There's such an enormous amount of evidence about him and his crew being unfit to hold office that I could wipe my ass with it until kingdom come. It's like not taking any precautions in your house and then leaving your toddler alone there. Sure, nothing has to happen but we all know that nothing good can come from it.

[blackdog]

Don't forget China pollutes a lot because builds and makes shit for all of us rich western faggots.

Having an environmental agenda means not just adopting strategies to reduce your own pollution, but empower countries with less technology and make it important for everyone.

What worries me about China is the number of people. Apparently I'm not alone, I read a few years back on a business magazine about the western world worries for China's population, and they were saying the agenda for rich countries is pushing then toward our consumeristic needs, that way they will start focusing on things instead.

Anyway, "I'm not an environmentalist" in 2017, is ? dahell. When I hear this stuff I wish I could snap my fingers and make the world like I Am Legend (minus the vampires)
