This is why Trump got elected, mindless piggy backing on things that were said and foolishly believing them as opposed to having scepticism and fact checking. Cheers for totally taking the time to read my post lol

Trump got elected because Hillary was the other option. End of story.

Trump got elected because he got a lot of morons to believe he was being truthful in all his promises he made. Jokes on all of us.

That may be what you'd like to believe but it just ain't true. Anyone other than Hillary would have beaten Trump.

i voted for Trump for one reason and one reason only--to defeat her. I'm no moron and it had nothing to do his promises. It had everything to do with my belief that Hillary is the embodiment of everything wrong with politicians today.

I only asked him what he was smoking after he asked me what I was smoking, hence my response to your post

Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. The current administration is embarrassing. Regardless, this shouldn't be Left vs Right. It is the elite ruling class versus all the rest of us. Clearly Washington doesn't give a f--k about anyone unless it involves getting elected. Once the elections are over, Washington is all about helping big business.

Welcome to Poli Sci 101. And this was a perfect example of the country believing the devil we knew was worse.

Hillary accepted $20 mil from the Saudi's for her campaign (one of the worst human rights countries on planet earth). And, she is supposed to stand for women's rights. Riiiight. She had a Billion dollar campaign backed by most celebs and bigwigs in the country. She helped broker a deal that sold 500 million forest acres in Columbia to China. She is the devil if there ever was one. Trump may be bad, but compared to Hillary, he is a blessing. Our economy wouldn't be nearly as good as it has started 2017 with her in charge.

The smart american populace just didn't want her in charge. She would have too many corporations, countries and celebs to payback with political favors if she got elected.

As an Aussie outsider:

The fact a huge percentage of women didn't vote for Hillary speaks volumes.

She was in line to become the FIRST female President - if that's not enough for women to vote for her then running against "grab them by the pussy" Trump should have been

Regardless of how people view Trump it appears the people viewed Hillary as a worse option!

That says it all.

Trump has been in power for over 100 days...and the world continues to turn.

That is the crux of it all. The government is gonna do what the government is gonna do regardless who is president. The changes which impact peoples lives will end up minor. If it seems major, that is because the media blows things out of proportion than the people actually care about in the process of making money and influencing independents.

Because, if there is a cause like gay marriage or legalizing marijuana to happen, it will happen because the people will it to happen. But, if we are going to bomb Syria, it won't matter if the president is Demo/Repub/Trump/Hillary, those bombs had been planned a long time running. All we can do is bear witness as it all evolves.

Agree mate. Back in the 50s and 60s people were talking about some utopian future...

50-60 years later people still talk about it!

It's almost like we're in the Matrix!

Hugo Weaving described the first Matrix was perfect but our primitive cerebral cortex couldn't handle it...

So we're stuck in this perpetual **** where we are sold HOPE for a better future...and it never comes!

And we accept that because there's always hope ;-)

There is a new Documentary out called "Unacknowledged" which is about the Alien Conspiracy, probably the best one yet as many of the interviews are with people high up in government. I am not an Alien Conspiracist, but I find it interesting. What interested me the most was in the last 30 minutes when they discussed the governments control over media. Basically, every major network breaks news based on what we are allowed to see. Now, we have fake news calling out possible truth as fake news. I reckon in their minds,the end justifies the means.

Thank the gods for the internet otherwise we would still be like we were in the 50's. Completely clueless and brainwashed.

The drama with the internet and ANY news or story....there's disinformation everywhere!

Believe in the NWO? You can find evidence everywhere!

Don't believe? You can find that evidence everywhere too!

Tbh we've all got no idea what's real or not - you know what you've seen, heard and read - that doesn't mean it's the truth!

History is written by the victors...if Hitler won we'd all praise him for avoiding Armageddon...& speak German lol
