It appears Mr Trump and his allies, despite their valor intentions of protecting the sacred oath of the justice system, will more than likely end their "investigation" of Hillary Clinton. In other words, the smear campaign to stall the Democrat momentum was a success.

Hey, the good news is that Ken Starr's 8 year toiling on the Clinton's didn't cost you $70 million this time around. big grin

I guess Pat Robertson and the folks at "Citizens for Honest Government" will breathe a huge sigh of relief of not emptying their pockets this time around to rally the troops. Lord knows that's an inconvenience when you're fighting to get a trustworthy government in office like the good ole GOP, who's rap sheet includes Water-Gate and Iran-Contra.

Surtur
So the question is will the people who didn't want him to go after Hilary be happy for this or will they just use it as an excuse to whine about Trump?

Since hey he totally said if he was in charge she'd be in jail! And certainly nobody would whine if he kept his word and tried to put her in jail, correct?

Ayelewis
I'd say either way, no. If Hillary doesn't run as a political adversary, Republicans wouldn't care. It reminds me of Sheffield Nelson, an adversary of Bill's, who ran the story of Whitewater in order to discredit him. If Nelson had become Governor of Arkansas he would have dropped the case, because of it's wastage of tax payer's money. It's why Bush (Sr) pardoned the principle members on the Iran Contra scandal when he lost the presidency. It's inconvenient and unnecessary when tax payer's money is at stake. Suffice to say, All Republican politicians are lying s hitsacks.

Surtur
I get that, but people are pissed off over the policies Trump proposed. Yet then some people seem to be equally angry when he shows even any hint that he might not do those policies.

But..the people who should be upset over that should actually be the people who wanted those policies.

For example, if I just had this hard on for getting rid of Obamacare and Trump then came and talked about maybe not fully getting rid of it..I should be the one pissed, and the people who had anxiety over him getting rid of Obamacare should be at least a bit relieved.

Republicans should be more pissed off at Donald Trump right now than Democrats.

No one who supported Clinton cared if he appointed a special prosecutor. She was never in danger of going to jail, because she did nothing wrong. The initial post in this thread proves that the controversy was manufactured to hurt here election prospects, which is exactly what people had been trying to tell you all along. Congratulations on falling for it.

Oh man oh man. Too precious. I never said she was in danger, I said people would whine if Trump tried to put her in prison, which they totally would.

The fact you think they wouldn't just shows how truly disconnected from reality some of her supporters are.

Anyways, I know you aren't upset about people manufacturing stuff to hurt her election prospects. No wait you probably are because you feel the Clinton campaign did nothing shady, which would mean you don't think they tried to dick Bernie out of any chance..which would make them just as shady as anyone trying to manufacture some shit to hurt your chances at winning.

Silent Master
She did plenty wrong, it's just that the FBI attributed it to stupidity rather than criminal Inten.

I never said she was in danger either. That is precisely why I said I would not care if he tried to put her in jail, because he would not be able to. She would have to have done something wrong first for anyone to even care if he was going to try.

The fact that you believe every ridiculous conspiracy about the Clintons shows how disconnected from reality you are. Especially in the context of the Trump administration declining to pursue the matter, because it was a giant nothingburger, yet, you still insist it is true.

Surtur
But I never said I believed every single conspiracy. If I did, it means I'd think the kunt has body doubles and shit like that.

I never said you specifically would care, I said PEOPLE would. People, the media, whatever..would throw a tantrum if he tried to jail her.

snowdragon
Oh, there is NO DOUBT she broke the law in regards to her email server and the data kept on said server and the documents she destroyed.

Now I realize some of her supporters don't/haven't worked in an enviroment with sensitive material and they don't have a f-k-n clue but we sent ppl to jail for far less and penalized them and thats that.

With that said it would be a HUGE olive branch, she should get some legal ramifications but for peace it might be in Trumps best interest to pardon her.

S_W_LeGenD
Trump should deliver on his promises, no matter what. Otherwise, he risks alienating his supporters as well. The divide was already there, he did not create it. And he should not feel guilty about it.

More importantly, Trump should be very careful about what he says. Critics will use his statements against him one way or the other. They are already doing it. Trump should understand that some segments of society will always whine about him. He should not bother with them.

Trump should get the right advisers and get tough on those who want to sabotage his efforts.

Did anyone actually believe, even for a second, that Trump would try to prosecute Hillary?

I can't even tell, because most people also believed Trump had no chance, and those smug individuals were HILARIOUSLY off base.

Of course I'm still not even talking about belief lol. I'm talking about anger over an act. This would entail the act went through. So for arguments sake we're talking about if Trump tried to go after her, would people flip out? So whether they believed he would or not would be irrelevant, if he did..would they care?

The answer is of course "yes, yes they would".

Ziggystardust
Yeah, prosecuting Hill-Dog the Vanquished is not a priority. She is far less of a threat, and the President's time is better spent else where.

quanchi112
This isn't the first stance he will soften on. Half the shit he said was utterly ridiculous it's amusing to me people actually took some of these things seriously.

I sure could use some play-doh and bubbles right now. See though one thing those other safe spaces lack is tinker toys.

I'm so traumatized the person I didn't want to win didn't win.

He backtracked on the wall, Obamacare, and now prosecuting Hillary. And for being so "populist", his cabinet is filled with Country club republican/Neocon scum like Gingrich and Christie.


Looks like he's going to take a shit in the mouths of his supporters.

I still think we have to wait and see. It is possible he doesn't intend to do as much backtracking as he says and is just trying to maybe calm people down so they stop burning shit and attacking cops because they are so butthurt.

Or he might have planned this all along and been conning people. Or he might have had a genuine change of heart once he actually won the presidency.

At this point I can't say any of those explanations is more likely than the other.

Though a politician making promises he ends up not keeping..surely that would fall under the Hilary excuse of "that's just politics!" that we saw used so many times over the course of this election. So damn I even get some amusement out of it either way. Like I said before: the gift that keeps on giving.

It's almost as if he deserves to be criticized regardless of what he does.

Yeah. Pretty sure we will be able and just check off the list of "Glen Beck called it" on how and what Trump will do .

This is true, I have been laughing hysterically for most of this week.

But then it's a hysterical situation.

Yes, or to put it another way: it's almost as if liberals won't be happy regardless of what Trump says or does.

Oh, I think most Liberals will be perfectly happy with Trump not pressing charges. However, just because they are happy, does not mean he is exempt from criticism. As he ultimately lied to his supporters.

I'm talking in the broader sense though. I don't think they will be happy if Trump ends up being a bad president, but that is understandable. On the other hand, I get the feeling they won't be happy if he turned out to be a good president as well.

I feel like for every decision and situation for them it's not going to matter what he does. Which isn't really the best thing for this country.

S_W_LeGenD
It is too early to determine what Donald Trump will do or not once he takes charge of the oval office. Some media sources underestimated him before and they continue to underestimate him now. So take anything from such media sources with a grain of salt.

At present, Trump is building his team. And he is determined to deliver on his promises: https://www.yahoo.com/news/protests-spread-trump-tones-down-rhetoric-173145786.html

Yes, buyers remorse. I'm actually not enjoying this at all, you got me.

They really should have. The fact they think people will be regretting voting for Trump just tends to show once again how they missed the mark.

They can't even comprehend that even after all this those same voters still prefer Trump over Hilary.

The only people I've seen making an issue of it are hardcore Clinton supporters. And it's not a bad idea for Trump not to announce any mass exterminations at the moment because he's technically not elected yet.

it's been a phenomenon since election night. angry toxic antagonizing, as if every aspect of their world view was validated by their win (of course that's never the case when a democrat wins), and with a certainly that they're entitled to a mass-apology and groveling for forgiveness from everyone who didn't fall in line with them.

If people weren't so smug on this board about it..well, they wouldn't be getting trolled so hard now.

People can't act like smug dicks and just pretend everyone else needs to suddenly become mature once things do not go their way. The internet doesn't work that way gentlemen.

you have clearly been in a vindictive rage since election night.

it pleases me to know that you need to engage in compulsive petty trolling in order to distract from the fact that you really have nothing else to celebrate.

IMO, it's worth celebrating that Hillary won't be the next President.

Yes yes I understand how it'd help soothe the butthurt to believe the things you do.

Don't worry man, if Trump had lost and you and others had been trolling me(like I know you would) I suppose I'd be telling myself those same things as well.

It's okay, it will all be okay. The world still turns.

Yes, plus like I said..people here were oh so very very smug about how she'd definitely be winning and about how they'd be enjoying the tears of Trumpers.

Perhaps they will now only gloat once they actually have something to gloat about.

Lol nah, they probably won't, but meh.

He has a point, mocking the crybabies gets them to post more of their butt-hurt and thus gives him more to laugh at. If the Hillary supporters would just stop whining and moaning, he wouldn't have anything to laugh at.

Exactly, and they just wanna keep it up with "oh you're so angry" and "enjoy your melt down".

They literally don't know when to stop, it's like the stupidest energizer bunnies on the planet.

Also afraid to pick a side? It's as if reality just went away. I didn't think Trump would win. I wanted him to win. I picked a side I wanted to achieve victory, I just didn't think they would.

That is NOT "not picking a side". I told people I voted for Trump, I had made it clear which side I would prefer to win.
