That those words need mentioning in a memo in 2016 says a lot about your next pres. War on coal? Seriously? Yeah just mere coincidence islands in Indonesia and even Miami are going under water.

Cool story, bro.

Uh, err, Daniel, the election is over. Your stump speech is a day late and a dollar short. Sore loser still fapping the fud, Daniel? Even Hillary said we need to at least give him a chance. I’m waiting to see how many celebrities actually move out of the U.S. like they swore they would do if The Donald won. Streisand, Amy Schumer, Notorious RBG, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin, Cher, Miley Cyrus. Anybody see the For Sale signs yet?

It isn't a stump speech, it's an attempt to understand how Trump's attempts at national policy would affect Apple. I've also heard people say he'll be impeached within his first year, if he even survives the federal racketeering charges. Of course, all the Republican and conservative judges will give him a pass because he's the incoming President and all he needs to do is force the trial into a conservative suburb or one of the many red districts in the farm land and nobody will convict him of anything.

Yes, I'm upset he won because he has no business being our President. 

"Yes, I'm upset he won because he has no business being our President."

There's this little thing called a democracy where the people have the power to decide who leads the country and who doesn't. And they have spoken. 

Dangerous argument. "The people" voted for Hillary, by majority. They spoke clearly. The electoral college weighted that vote in favour of Trump, AGAINST the power of the majority of the People. 

Yes it's by design, and there are historical reasons for it, but pure majority rule, it most certainly is not. 

Clearly? For president, it was a razor thin margin either way.    However, in totality 'the people' gave the Executive, both branches of the Executive and by extension control over the future of the Juditiary to Republicans.  The presidential race may have been close, but overall this was a total defeat at the Federal level for team D.

In the last couple decades, Democrats have worked extra hard to weaken state governments and transfer power to the Federal government.   Independents/libertarians have been warning about this being a terrible idea for years, now moronic D's get to enjoy a completely Republican Federal government with incredible power over all the individual states and their funding.  Even California and NY will have to learn to beg, sit and roll over if they want to keep the lights on.

These retards cheated and lied and manipulated to weaken individual states' liberties for the socialist utopian fantasy of an all powerful centralized government, breaking or ignoring various check and balances meant to protect against the very things they now fear.  If Democrats don't like what a President Trump does, they'll have absolutely nobody to blame but themselves for exploiting the system and stacking the deck against individual liberty.  #reality

can't believe 59 million people voted for this unqualified, crook, idiot, charlatan 

You'll have to be more specific, not sure who you are referring to?

Is this one of those cases where a hypocritical political team zealot, uses an appeal to majority fallacy, to imagine a non-existent moral superiority?  Because from where I'm sitting, that could go either way.  

Damn, you people really are pathetic little sacks of cheap proteins.

You do realize that the vast majority of the country disagrees with you. Trump was the best choice to avoid the police state mentality of Clinton

50% is hardly a "vast majority".

There's more red on that map than blue.  The electoral college is there to make sure that a few bigger population states can't screw over the smaller ones.  Ironic that Democrats are only for minorities and welfare when they get $omething out of it.  When they don't, and the little guy is given a 'level playing field' (in this case protection from tiny, wealthier urban bubbles) it's nothing but hysteria, cries of unfairness, and unwillingness to compromise.   There's plenty of reason to dislike Republicans, but this basic hypocrisy on the left, is why rational independents despise Democrats/progressives/whatever-they-are-self-branding-as-now. You're total hypocrites, and completely blinded by your own ignorance and hatred.

That's why you'll forever be locked into these false dichotomies with the other side.  Guess what?  In return for your hate, rural America gave all 3 branches of government to your opposition.  Your can argue Clinton shoulda/coulda/woulda until you're blue in the face, but... All 3.  Probably time for some quiet, self reflection.

Seriously?

When your boss has to tell you to stop arguing over team politics at work,
that's a clear sign that your team politics are complete immature bullshit.

Obama was an inexperienced, petty, self-aggrandizing clown, now there's just a different one.
Grow the fuck up, America.
