    So I guess when you do this is how sore losers actually acts. Throw schit out there and hoping someone in power take notice. <shakes head>
    Just to be clear, is your argument that if we are pointing out that the President is doing something completely unethical it means that we're being sore losers because our 'hag' lost? And Pence is qualified, and I suspect only idiots would suggest he shouldn't become President in the case of a Trump impeachment. Given my social leanings, I'd hate every second of a Pence presidency, but it would be the way it goes.

    I wouldn't have thought this would be necessary to point out, but you do understand that many of us have concerns with Trump that go beyond our "team" losing, right? Those concerns aren't going to go away unless he governs in a way that proves us wrong.

    Then wait till he screws up. He won, you all lost and he has not even sat in his chair and you all are mud slinging.

    Way Sauce is posting he is hoping someway that the Hag can be president. He doesn't want Pence in there either. He hates anything that is Republican, always have since the Braves Scout board. There is no compromise in his body, none whatsoever. So I make fun of him because he has a one track mind that is easy to poke fun at.

    This isn't entirely true. The appointments of Bannon, Sessions and Flynn alone are pretty big reasons for us to criticize him at this point, as are the conflict of interests questions and the few policy proposals that have been discussed so far. For those of us that were worried about a Trump presidency, it's hard to think of a less reassuring first 2 weeks.

    Fair enough, but if there's a line between poking fun of someone for their views and unsubstantive trolling, I feel as though you're at least straddling it.

    I will say this, I fully expected the stock market to tank following a Trump win because I thought Wall Street was on Hillary's side. Now I feel like I don't know anything anymore about how Trump will impact the economy. That the Dow has actually gone higher nearly every day since the Election just leaves me throwing my hands in the air. Great for my 401k though!

    I thought the opposite. Trump is a businessman and understands that world while Hillary doesn't.

    In Jeff Sessions world it is permissible to call you "boy"
    perhaps we all get to refer to you in that term now that we are waiting for Trump to screw up
    ?

    Again, Trump ran a masterful campaign and won. But, the campaign is over and it is time to govern.

    Hillary wouldn't have hurt business and the massive gains they got under Obama would continue

    Under trump who knows but he will make it easier to exploit the system and make money for the top for sure though

    You've been complaining for the last decade that the wealth gap is so massive... and you wanted Hilary to continue that trend?

    Big government always helps the rich get richer.

    We are riding a bubble right now. Trump's business acumen has nothing to do with the stock market rally. I think that some of his policies will likely push things up in the short term, but the market is overvalued right now.

    I agree with this. But I have serious doubts about how much of that knowledge will be used to help the country, or just him and his ilk. I believed Hillary had more focus on the greater good, which includes a bigger slice of the population.

    That salary threshold is peanuts. The types of business's that kill you in overtime are professional services where the base pay far exceeds that.

    So, what in the actual **** does it mean to remove two regulations for each one added? Like is Trump going to use a roulette wheel, or will he have a list of regulations that he plans to eliminate whenever he wants to add one? Don't get me wrong, I actually don't hate the idea of getting rid of some of the special interests in DC, and there are probably some regulations that we can do without, but the 2 for 1 thing is really idiotic.

    Trump calls and network execs come running like puppies. Why? Reports I've read say Trump just scolded them and called them liars.

    What will these outbursts be like when he has the power of his office behind him?

    We are so use to Presidents saying nothing or making the occasional jesting point or two or just not holding press corp meetings. Trump is a whole new ball game. Those who despise the mainstream media may want to get their popcorn, but I get the feeling that like when you eat too much buttery popcorn, this isn't going to sit well...
