I think a good show is the best we can make of it, watch the baby Trump whine and complain every day as the criticism grows and grows. Watch him squirm, it's the least we can do to the creep that lied himself into office.

Trump can make a daft, cringey comment, and I'll be the only one squirming. It's going to be a long four years.
 
I wondered aloud here whether it was going to be "racist, sexist, insane, stupid" etc. all the way to the election, and incredibly it not only did that but has continued after the election.

It looks really good for Trump. The fact he could win against the onslaught of the media and establishment was amazing enough, but now you have Trump with the power of the presidency.

It's going to be extremely interesting watching the catastrophe continue to unfold for the legacy media. The new york times profits were 95% off in the third quarter of 2016, and they just announced they are renting 8 floors of their building in manhattan. They've worked real hard destroying their credibility, and had a laughable op-ed about their future being "creative" with the news.

Trump is bypassing the media and speaking directly to the people. We no longer need low-IQ newscasters with perfectly coiffed hair lying to us as if we were little children.

Bloggers, independent journalists, and researchers can get us content faster and without establishment editors and publishers censoring them. The censorship on youtube, facebook, and twitter is just giving rise to alternative platforms without censorship.

There are a number of good people on the left like H A Goodman and David Seaman that actually speak to issues instead of this extremely childish ranting and name-calling that has dominated the left for far too long now. But they are exceptions and get a lot of hostility from the establishment left.

Goodman, like me, was perplexed at offering up such an abysmal candidate in Clinton when Sanders was polling ahead of Trump by a lot more and actually had a platform.

I wrote Trump off the instant he proclaimed his enthusiasm for torture. It looks like he has backed off, but I want a president who loathes torture and repudiates it without qualification.

I'm sure willing to see how he does, the same way I felt about Obama when he was first elected.

Can you provide a citation for this? Thanks.

ETA: Found one, on the conservative site Newsmax. Here's what they say.

The New York Times reported a 95.7 percent fall in quarterly profit, hit by restructuring charges related to headcount reductions.

Net profit attributable to the company fell 95.7 percent to $406,000, or break-even per share, hit mainly by restructuring charges related to headcount reductions.

Headcount reductions, a short-term cost not (directly) about loss of readership. Your comment is, let's say, misleading.

Lol. You can't be serious.

What are headcount reductions? Think hard now! Enough headcount reductions to empty out eight floors of their Manhattan building.

So that they can rent the building.

Formerly filled with employees churning out fake news.

so the bad dumb media tried to make trump look bad and lost because some media called a spade a spade, and yet Trump spouts contradictory information, yells what people want to hear, makes things up and this is good because it got him elected. I am beginning to realise why "truth" and "justice" are seperate from "the American way" in that famous old saying. the truth part is no longer relevant, "justice" may soon be biased towards the extreeme conservative right end of things. People have let raw emotion take over and the American way is being redefined to telling people whatever they want to hear at the moment. Propoganda, self interest and patriotism are obfuscating rational thought, and its a pattern repeating itself in many countries at the moment.

US President-elect Donald Trump has posted a series of tweets condemning those who oppose good relations with Russia as "'stupid' people, or fools".

Mr Trump vowed to work with Russia "to solve some of the many... pressing problems and issues of the WORLD!"

His comments came after an*intelligence report*said Russia's president had tried to aid a Trump election victory.

Mr Trump said Democrats were to blame for "gross negligence" in allowing their servers to be hacked.

In a series of tweets on Saturday, Mr Trump said that having a good relationship with Russia was "no bad thing" and that "only 'stupid' people, or fools, would think that it is bad!"

He added that Russia would respect the US more when he was president.

Here's a start (Warning: This story contains language that may offend. I'm copying it as it is, not trying to avoid the censor.):
Donald Trump's election win prompts spike in use of F-word online, data shows.
From the chaos in Syria to the terrorist attacks in Europe, mass shootings in the US and the deaths of what seemed like all our favourite people, we collectively stumbled through 2016 with that mixture of horror, outrage, grief and incredulity that perhaps no other word in the English language captures more succinctly than "f---".

But one event in 2016 unleashed public outpouring of the F-word like no other, according to a new analysis of social media posts and online content: Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.

Trump owes big money to some of the most powerful financial organizations in the world:
While the president-elect’s finances remain murky, due largely to his refusal to release his tax returns, the newspaper reports that he owes at least hundreds of millions of dollars, that the debt is held by more than 150 institutions, and that some of it is backed by his personal guarantee.

This is the guy who will be regulating them -- or not. Kinda makes Hillary's speaking fees look like pocket change.

Does using a suppressor make it more difficult to pinpoint that active shooter ?

That was the argument made, not that it made the shots silent.

Of course if it doesn't make it more difficult then thaiboxerken's implied criticism of the move is unjustified.

He didn't say they were silent. He said they make it harder to find an active shooter. Just like turning your tv down makes it harder to hear but it does not mean it is on mute.

Nope, not at all. They do, however, change the sound and make it harder to find long-range shooters. Why does the public need it?

No they don't. You obviously have no clue about this subject other than you're again' it and everything else that has anything to do with firearms. You see, I have rural property which is posted no trespassing. When a shot is fired on it, most of the time I have no clue which direction it came from due to echos. It has exactly the same with city building echos make it difficult to determine direction. Suppressors might just help that due to the reduction of echos. When is the last time you can cite a criminal that used one? They are now legal in 42 States. If they are so effective a concealing "long-range shooters" or any shooter why don't criminals use them now? All of the objection is another "River of Blood in the streets" meme that is the BS cry from the Brady Bunch that benefits recreational shooters and hunters.

I don't need an interpreter for English. You obviously have no experience with them either. Bye.
