Good God in Butter .... I feel like shit. [View all]

If today goes like I think it will then a future Trump Presidency makes today
like when the south fired on Ft. Sumter and the future of our nation is in
doubt. My guess is that the following things will happen:

1) The market will crash.

2) We will be in a recession.

3) We will be in a war.

Trump is an unqualified con man w/links to the mob, he is mentally ill, bragged
about sexually assaulting women, he is owned by Putin, and he "won" because
of the dirtiest election ever w/help from the Russians, a voter suppression program
called "cross check," and republicans like Comey, Gowdy, and Chaffitz.

BTW both Trump and McConnell knew about the Russian hacking because Trump
publicly called for Russia to hack HRC's campaign (which they did) and McConnell
was so sure about the outcome that he blocked President Obama's pick for the
Supreme Court. Treason is what those two did.

Can you imagine the shit storm we would have had if the democrats ran a program
like cross check but instead of keeping blacks and hispanics from voting it targeted
white men over 40 from republican areas because we are worried that with their $
and access to cars and planes that they are crossing state lines to vote twice.
