Not quite 142 but sometimes I feel like it
Hey, Reagan was a great President, and Nixon wasn't that bad either. Paranoid Nut job, but not a bad President.
Guess LBJ was the only Democrat I can remember being good at the job. I'm Not That Old or maybe I am and it's just the old-timers
The average Joe Public and Mary Citizen is just plain Fucked for the next 4 {and most likely) 8 Years

Edit Reason: I can't spellfor SHEEEEEEEEET

I definitely think Trump won the debate tonight. And I think too big a deal is being made about himsaying "he's keeping us in suspense" about admitting a loss if it were to happen.
I don't trust Darth Hillary. I believe she is FULLY capable of deceit and lies...She's a criminal that should be in Jail. I'm sure if he thought all was up and up and he lost, he'll concede. He won't be a dick just for the purposes of being a dick....

Is it possible to make Trump look more presidential?* Try altering his face: https://vine.co/v/5HQ5BqEP77E (click on the picture to start/stop)
Thanks to Spud17 for the link!

For Americans maybe.
But I am very sure that as far as Europeans are concerned, the immigration crisis will only increase under Hillary. Trump is an unknown quantity.
On a couple of recent national polls he leads Hillary with 1-2 points anyway.
I'm glad I don't live over there, you will get shit no matter who wins. All I care about is Europe's future.

The man is unstoppable now! But it looks like he's sounding more reasonable... I just hope he doesn't completely deflate into a spineless pussy... That would be false advertisement... SNL may be right, although funny as hell, the point they are making that he just wanted to win but not necessarily the duties of the job may be a possibility... Maybe he did it to prove that he could... He is a narcissist...

I know one way to stop Trump permanently. I wouldn't suggest it though. And I don't think anyone in America or in the rest of the world will be that affected by him. The Congress and Senate are the ones you need to worry about. And they are both republican. Not that that is a bad thing.

"the angry and disaffected are victims of the neoliberal policies of the past generation"
"As Greenspan explained during his glory days, his successes in economic management were based substantially on "growing worker insecurity". Intimidated working people would not ask for higher wages, benefits and security, but would be satisfied with the stagnating wages and reduced benefits that signal a healthy economy by neoliberal standards."
"Working people, who have been the subjects of these experiments in economic theory, are not particularly happy about the outcome"
"And for working people, there is a great difference between a steady job in manufacturing with union wages and benefits, as in earlier years, and a temporary job with little security in some service profession. Apart from wages, benefits and security, there is a loss of dignity, of hope for the future, of a sense that this is a world in which I belong and play a worthwhile role."
"They believe that "undeserving people" who do not "follow the rules" are being moved in front of them by federal government programs they erroneously see as designed to benefit African-Americans, immigrants and others they often regard with contempt. All of this is exacerbated by [Ronald] Reagan's racist fabrications about "welfare queens" (by implication Black) stealing white people's hard-earned money and other fantasies."
"Exit polls reveal that the passionate support for Trump was inspired primarily by the belief that he represented change, while Clinton was perceived as the candidate who would perpetuate their distress. The "change" that Trump is likely to bring will be harmful or worse, but it is understandable that the consequences are not clear to isolated people in an atomized society lacking the kinds of associations (like unions) that can educate and organize"
"There are other factors in Trump's success. Comparative studies show that doctrines of white supremacy have had an even more powerful grip on American culture than in South Africa"

So if 99% of people are against Trump, and it's considered to be a huge upset and all that, then why did he win? Personally I always though it was going to be an incredibly close election. I didn't know who would win. I'm not exactly glad that Trump won, but I'm very glad that Clinton didn't win. Trump will cause a few problems and be his arrogant self, which will make congress have to do some tapdancing. But Clinton would have caused chaos in the senate and congress and the nation would have been stuck for at least 4 years, doing nothing.

White supremacists have no problem with inequalities, as long as the ones suffering those inequalites are non-whites, are not them.
But neoliberalism doesn't work like that, like someone said: "I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless."
The rational answer to neoliberalism is the redistribution of wealth: higher taxes, public health care and education, etc. But that's impossible when someone prefers not to have social services at all if that implies that the niggers would have them too.
So, when the white trash suffers neoliberalism, globalization, its only answer is to go back to some old fantasies of past greatness, of segregation, that can be seen as a neo fascism.
