Thoughts?

How would anyone get Mexico to reimburse?

Term limits aren't happening, it's a nice idea but it's just not going to be practical.

I have serious doubts that the wall will ever really come to fruition. Likely we'll just see some more border agents, and maybe some reinforcements to some of the current fences that exist. Building one massive wall would be a bureaucratic nightmare and extremely expensive. I think he'll have trouble getting the necessary funding even from a republican controlled congress.

Immediate Obamacare repeal is definitely possible, though I'm not sure republicans are going to be as gung ho about it now that their bills would actually go through and repeal it. I think a lot of that was posturing and trying to play to their base, knowing that Obama would just veto whatever they sent his way. I think they're more likely going to either just tweak it a bit without repealing it, or wait until they have actual legislation before repealing it. Repealing it before they have a legitimate replacement I think would be political suicide as many people would get thrown off their plans, and unable to get new ones because of a preexisting condition, and democrats would make sure everyone knew about it.

It's gonna be interesting to see how Trump works with the republican congress. If he will stand up to them and tell them no on certain things, or if he'll just become a republican puppet, doing whatever they want. We saw him willing to break from republicans in the past over things, hopefully he'll continue being willing to do that since he's promised to essentially be a wrecking ball for both party establishments.

He'll spend his entire term fighting congress if he does. Look at Obama, even he spent most of his time locking horns, and he was willing to compromise.

Unfortunately, an ant establishment president won't be enough. We need an anti establishment congress.

"* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.

* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward

* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure"

You may very well be correct, it's definitely possible. He might try to get the republican controlled congress to kind of submit to him, and if he goes that route it'll be interesting and pretty humorous to see how they react.

👆 it's a little disturbing that people still refuse to accept that climate change is a real thing. I mean shit, Trump thinks it's a ****ing Chinese conspiracy, what the actual **** lmfao.

But no, let's keep raping our global environment. It's not like we actually want our children to be able to live full lives.

This was released at the end of October.

Regardless, there's some fear that anthropomorphic climate change may be reaching a dangerous inflection point, and what better candidate to handle that than a global-warming denying clown whose supporters are too stupid to understand high school science class.

That's one of the saddest things about all this. Climate change is going to get completely ignored for at least 4 more years.

👆 four years of a science-denying buffoon will not yield good results for the world.

@Ant, I honestly hope that you're happy that you got a candidate who is going to ignore a literal existential threat to human civilization, all because you didn't like someone's private email server. 👆

Yeah Climate change is one of the reasons I find a Republican supermajority so disturbing.

Climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese.

So I've heard.

So you should know. Dread Master Trump will deal with those sneaky Chinese and their wicked climate lies.

Must be true.

I'm very happy, yes. 😮‍💨

Honestly it's not like America alone would have made a difference. Like, hate to break the bad news but future generations were f*cked from the get go on climate change. At least we get to lead more pleasurable lives for the time we have left.

Give Mexico a discount on the drugs we sell them at a high cost just to buy them back cheap.

As an industrial radiographer and NDT technician, I approve of lifting these stupid restrictions.
