In the Hillary X Trump election, how could one even have used one's power to vote in a constructive manner?

*sigh*

What to do? Except just get drunk and hope for better times, of course.



Sadly, I can't be in the top 5 myself. Calling almost all members on the site a douche kinda makes me one myself.

I guess you can look at history, particularly the 1930s, and see where we all could be heading. Look at the parallels (1930s- Jews, 2010s- Mexicans)The only difference now is everybody has nukes.

And we have a leader(choke) who's playing footsies with Russia. Reagan must be vomiting in his grave.

Well, it was civil in the eighties and especially the seventies when compared with today. At least the barbs against Reagan and Carter weren't personally motivated.

We should all band together in protest against an establishment that increasingly is not in the employ of the people, but of the elite.

Break down and vote third party. Both major parties have betrayed us. So called Democrats need to give up the ghost and join the Progressive movement while true Conservatives need to form their own party or maybe modify the Libertarians ( a true Conservative is a Libertarian at heart). What a wonderful world it could be with the Libertarians vs, the Greens instead of the Republicans vs. the Democrats.

I still think bombing the White House would have been better.

Interested in The Hawk's thoughts on this one.

You know I don’t know.

The poaching and species extinctions are really a failure of all mankind.

I hope the lions enjoyed their meal but I would have to know the poachers’ stories before I decided they deserved it anymore than I do.

Scott Pruitt FINALLY fired. One of DJT's favorite lapdogs gets handed his walking papers - long overdue.

DJs been in office for less than 600 days. Anyone keeping tabs on how many of his inner circle have been fired, resigned, indicted, plead guilty, been under house arrest, etc.?

Unprecedented I tell ya. :laughing:
