Keeping up with the Joneses

9 years ago

More people voted for Hillary Clinton than voted for Donald Trump, but he had more electoral votes. He won, but Hillary Clinton had and has a lot of support from good people.

Hopefully we'll all give Trump a fair shake. Then, it's up to him to do well or not. I hope he takes advantage of the incredible talent in both parties, and really deals with the serious problems and issues facing us and our families in today's world.

But instead of joining together many people seem bent on congratulating themselves and each other for the win, it's almost like Trump is a new designer accessory to be enjoyed and flashed in front of others like a new car. Like an end, not a means.


Once the new wears off, there's a lot of work to do.

    I'm hoping for new, younger blood in Trump's inner circle. It's great to tap some of the old guard, but not all of them. Let's bring the median age down a tad!!

    There is new younger blood in his inner circle - it's called his children

    When obama was elected..twice..many conservatives were dismayed but they did not riot. Obama had no real experience, at least President elect Trump is an experienced businessman. Obama got his chance, it's time to move on and give President elect Trump his. does seem funny that the people who voted against "hate" are now rioting and causing the very hate they say the condemn.

    The hate and rage I've seen since Trump won has been truly frightening.

    Yep....for him and all of his swamp bottom cronies. And each of them has their own greedy agenda.

    *sigh* The title of this thread had me thinking it was going to be about something different.

    ETA: As usual, LisaD82 deleted all her foul childish accusatory bully tactics postings that I've responded to several times below, rendering the conversation incomplete.

    There was a lot of hate speech when Obama was running. People were accused of being racist if they didn't vote for him. Absurd. I'm afraid I lost respect for the peace loving all inclusive Dems during that election upon learning how they both treat and stereotype Republicans. Or anyone with differing viewpoints it seems as we see around here.

    I know a couple people who absolutely hate Obama for some reason. So I'm sure they have no difficulty comparing swallowing the two pills, Trump & Obama, no matter how easy you find it.

    Lisa, the way you sexualize his relationship with his daughters, notably Ivanka is a really disgusting accusation. It sounds particularly desperate. She seems to have a very good relationship with her father and admires him, as do all of his children.

    And I don't believe the vile way Republicans and Trump voters are being stereotyped is any better or any different. The political divide is what will destroy our democracy.

    He did that to himself. His own words sexualized his relationship with Ivanka. I haven't heard him say the same things about Tiffany. He probably doesn't consider her attractive enough.

    They also think he's a liar, not just policy. They just don't like him regardless of his politics.

    You are sensationalizing. As I recall (and I am not glued to Howard Stern tapes like the rest of the world here) he said she is beautiful and has a great body. That is not SEX. It's not uncommon for parents to want good looking children and compliment them or brag about their looks. What I thought was strange is allowing the perverted Howard Stern to comment about her.

    You went on in disgust about pictures of the two of them when she was a little girl. Affection does not translate to SEX. That is a product of your own mind. Very sad today. People seem to crave it.

    When Ivanka comes forward, then I will listen. Anything else is evil gossip.

    Go ahead with the bully tactics.

    Lisa, your hate trip is not something I'm interested in. We get it. Everyone gets it.

    More drama and exaggeration. It seems pretty desperate to me to deflect Trump's behavior onto someone else.

    That's funny.

    You're on a hate trip. He already won.

    I don't have to own anything. That's your mind, not mine.

    Don't get mad at others for being able to point out Trump's hate.

  • 9 years ago

    Your mind Lisa, Your mind. I am not owning your bully tactics.

    Have a good night.

    Snookums, I deleted all my posts. Trying to adapt to your behavior policies just isn't worth it this time.
