There was a thing back in the news here talking about how what a President says or writes can be pretty much considered policy so there's supposedly some already nervous staff members over that twitter account...
Irk?It <some word I cannot come up with> me just a bit.
"Elections have consequences," the President told assembled reporters at the Rose Garden earlier this morning. "And in this case, the election in 2012, which I won in spite of what you may have heard on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh or read about on some sketchy Facebook page, it means that the people want a leader willing to take risks. Thus it is with the deepest humility and respect for the office that I nominate myself for the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court."
Well, it looks like President Obama isn't ready to ride off into the political sunset just yet.
In shrewd political move, Obama nominates himself to the Supreme Court
Elections have consequences, folks. IKIS. Enjoy.
I thought this kind of behavior was reserved for third-sixth savages.If I should have just started a new thread, apologies. I felt this went here because of it being a reaction to the election. Hell, we might need an "Election Reaction" thread.
4 African-Americans tied up, and tortured a mentally disabled white man. To add a little extra pizzazz to it, they streamed it live on Facebook. They forced the victim to say "Fuck Donald Trump" and "Fuck white people".

Soooo, I guess those "intelligence" agencies have perfected ESP and remote viewing? The FBI Never Asked For Access To Hacked Computer Servers mind you, this is from BuzzFeed. How exactly do you investigate a crime without accessing the scene or the evidence? The man hasn't even taken office yet. Probably a good idea to wait till it is official before we lambaste him.*6 Months Ago*
People: "Uhhhhhh, why would you vote for Trump, he's got no experience in politics..."
Other People: "Cause he's so smart! He's gonna surround himself with the best and take their advice! He said so himself- he has GREAT people, really great people. Hillary would never listen to anyone! Trump will know when to listen and leverage his picks for the cabinet!!!"
*Today*
P: "Dude, he doesn't even get a daily brief- he either sends VP Mike Pence in his stead, or gets briefings when he feels he needs them, not every day..."
OP: "Well, I will bet that briefing is SOOOOOOO repetitive. He has a handle on it, it's not like he's coming out and slamming anyone trying to help him out! He just doesn't like the briefs."
P: "He publicly shit all over the intel community. Via Twitter. Lots of times."
OP: "Whatever, he's just being skeptical. It's not like he's siding with some criminal, he has more knowledge than the rest of us! Inside info about this whole thing. He was even going to tell us, but those idiot intel people weren't ready cause they probably had to get their stories straight!! Plus, that Assange dude seems pretty legit, it's not like PE Trump ever said there should be a death penalty for Wikileaks or something, quit over reacting you lost the election get over it time to move on! Your feelings are hurt!!!"
P: "Bro."

I appreciate the compliment. No harm no foul. We get passionate about or discussions and that's ok. I probably could have toned down my response as well as my natural inclination is to attack. Nonetheless, thanks for the olive branch. I sometimes need the reminder to vent plasma before going to warp speed lol.Believe whatever you like about PE Trump. I agree changes are certainly in the works. But I've found you to be someone on here - despite having almost polar opposite views than me on policy, philosophy, and outlook on a number of things - who I have really respected as having a strong sense of bucking the crowd, being willing to see things based on your assessment using logic - not wishful thinking. The reaction on this Russia shit and Trump's continued behavior on twitter has really surprised me from a lot of folks who support him - because I would have thought it's the opposite of what you thought/said he would do once he won. In hindsight I wish I had not taken such a strident tone in my initial post.
