I can ignore most of the dumb shit Trump comes up with but his "beliefs" (to put it lightly) in science are what could really screw the US up. He's talked of cutting the Environmental Protection Agency (who he chose Myron Ebell to lead in the transition, a known climate skeptic), scrapping major US regulations on CO2 output such as the Clean Power Plan, and "cancel" the Paris Climate Deal (he does have to wait 4 years to officially leave it, but could simply ignore the restrictions).

Here's the best part, he can't do it alone because he'll need the House and Senate to go alone with it. But they are now lead by a Republican majority who, ~56%, believe climate change isn't real or are skeptical. Here's a list of 170 Republicans of the 114th congress (current congress) who fall in this category.

And just for kicks, "...97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities." (https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/)

Didn't vote for either of these cucks, but it'll be interesting to see how this one turns out.

Nah but he will make America great again that's all we care about. Fuck the rest of the world

Oh and it's nice to see that Clinton supporters are handling their loss so maturely...

Yeah, I agree that Hillary supporters aren't handling defeat well but do you honestly think Republicans would be acting any differently if it was the other way around?

Google isn't bringing up and news reports of Republicans rioting in 2008 or 2012, could something though if you'd like to try.

No, just the fact that Donald Trump claimed that the system was rigged so if Hillary had won, I'm sure many Republicans would think that it was true.

Except it was rigged, and we still won. Hillary should have done a better job.

To be fair, I watched his latest speech and he seemed almost statesman-like.
Interesting though that he's suddenly very reconciliatory, going from 'First thing I will do is throw crooked Hillary in jail' to 'we owe a great debt of gratitude to all the work Senator Clinton has done for her campaign'. I don't like how unpredictable he is. In my books, unpredictable is dangerous.

Pulling out the Unity card like every other political speech, only now it's coming from his mouth; curious since his campaign was mostly 'I will do this, I will do that', 'They are the evil-doers', dividing the nation by race. But now y'all gotta unite.

Shitty situation, yes. But hey, at least weed's been legalised in Cali, right? Always a silver lining!

No, what I'm mad about is that, despite the derogatory, sexist, racist remarks and lies he's made, American people voted for him. I know many voted because of his economics or other issues, but still voted for a man despite all these things. To me, that says a lot about people - what they're willing to condone.

Second of all, republican senate and house. That means what Obama has done in the name of liberty will probably go backwards, imo. Gay marriage could be abolished. People might refuse service if it conflicts with their beliefs. Republicans are pro-life, iirc. So state intervention in something very, very personal is gonna start happening.

Oh, and Trump's not a believer in Global Warming, wanting out of the Paris conference. So yay that.

You do know Trump cannot reverse gay marriage right?
The Supreme Court ruled it legal. The Supreme Court is the highest authority  there is.
You cannot reverse it; unless the Supreme Court does it themselves.

Second, the President, by Constitution, cannot create laws without congressional approval, (Or a executive order, which can be reversed by the SC.) which yes, you are right, we have a republican senate and house, but not EVERY republican agrees with Trumps ideals, so there is bound to be some of his bills blocked.

I do agree about the sexist remarks however. It was extremely uncalled for.
Now for the lies, all politicians lie. Clinton wouldn't have been any better. She lied directly to her supporters and the F.B.I (indirectly, of course so she can't be charged with anything.) She also lied about her illegally handling classified information. Now honestly, who would you rather have? Someone who carelessly handles our top secret information that could probably cause many world wide problems or someone who said a few remarks?

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE, THIS IS ABSURD, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE DONALD J. TRUMP AS
OUR PRESIDENT ELE- oh weeds getting legal in cali? hes cool.

Honestly I'm sick of hearing people with blind faith for their candidates based purely on things they said during the campaign, believe it when you see it people.
1 When the heavens above did not exist,
2 And earth beneath had not come into being —
3 There was Apsû, the first in order, their begetter,
4 And demiurge Tia-mat, who gave birth to them all;
5 They had mingled their waters together
6 Before meadow-land had coalesced and reed-bed was to he found —
7 When not one of the gods had been formed
8 Or had come into being, when no destinies had been decreed,
9 The gods were created within them:
10 Lah(mu and Lah(amu were formed and came into being.
11 While they grew and increased in stature
12 Anšar and Kišar, who excelled them, were created.
13 They prolonged their days, they multiplied their years.
14 Anu, their son, could rival his fathers.
15 Anu, the son, equalled Anšar,
16 And Anu begat Nudimmud, his own equal.
17 Nudimmud was the champion among his fathers:
18 Profoundly discerning, wise, of robust strength;
19 Very much stronger than his father's begetter, Anšar
20 He had no rival among the gods, his brothers.
21 The divine brothers came together,
22 Their clamour got loud, throwing Tia-mat into a turmoil.
23 They jarred the nerves of Tia-mat,
24 And by their dancing they spread alarm in Anduruna.
25 Apsû did not diminish their clamour,
26 And Tia-mat was silent when confronted with them.
27 Their conduct was displeasing to her,
28 Yet though their behaviour was not good, she wished to spare them.
29 Thereupon Apsû, the begetter of the great gods,
30 Called Mummu, his vizier, and addressed him,
31 "Vizier Mummu, who gratifies my pleasure,
32 Come, let us go to Tia-mat!"
33 They went and sat, facing Tia-mat,
34 As they conferred about the gods, their sons.
35 Apsû opened his mouth
36 And addressed Tia-mat
37 "Their behaviour has become displeasing to me
38 And I cannot rest in the day-time or sleep at night.
39 I will destroy and break up their way of life
40 That silence may reign and we may sleep."
41 When Tia-mat heard this
42 She raged and cried out to her spouse,
43 She cried in distress, fuming within herself,
44 She grieved over the (plotted) evil,
45 "How can we destroy what we have given birth to?
46 Though their behaviour causes distress, let us tighten discipline graciously."
47 Mummu spoke up with counsel for Apsû—
48 (As from) a rebellious vizier was the counsel of his Mummu—
49 "Destroy, my father, that lawless way of life,
50 That you may rest in the day-time and sleep by night!"
51 Apsû was pleased with him, his face beamed
52 Because he had plotted evil against the gods, his sons.
53 Mummu put his arms around Apsû's neck,
54 He sat on his knees kissing him.
55 What they plotted in their gathering
56 Was reported to the gods, their sons.
57 The gods heard it and were frantic.
58 They were overcome with silence and sat quietly.
59 Ea, who excels in knowledge, the skilled and learned,
60 Ea, who knows everything, perceived their tricks.
61 He fashioned it and made it to be all-embracing,
62 He executed it skilfully as supreme—his pure incantation.
63 He recited it and set it on the waters,
64 He poured sleep upon him as he was slumbering deeply.
65 He put Apsû to slumber as he poured out sleep,
66 And Mummu, the counsellor, was breathless with agitation.
67 He split (Apsû's) sinews, ripped off his crown,
68 Carried away his aura and put it on himself.
69 He bound Apsû and killed him;
70 Mummu he confined and handled roughly.
71 He set his dwelling upon Apsû,
72 And laid hold on Mummu, keeping the nose-rope in his hand.
73 After Ea had bound and slain his enemies,
74 Had achieved victory over his foes,
75 He rested quietly in his chamber,
76 He called it Apsû, whose shrines he appointed.
77 Then he founded his living-quarters within it,
78 And Ea and Damkina, his wife, sat in splendour.
79 In the chamber of the destinies, the room of the archetypes,
80 The wisest of the wise, the sage of the gods, Be-l was conceived.
81 In Apsû was Marduk born,
82 In pure Apsû was Marduk born.
83 Ea his father begat him,
84 Damkina his mother bore him.
85 He sucked the breasts of goddesses,
86 A nurse reared him and filled him with terror.
87 His figure was well developed, the glance of his eyes was dazzling,
88 His growth was manly, he was mighty from the beginning.
89 Anu, his father's begetter, saw him,
90 He exulted and smiled; his heart filled with joy.
91 Anu rendered him perfect: his divinity was remarkable,
92 And he became very lofty, excelling them in his attributes.
93 His members were incomprehensibly wonderful,
94 Incapable of being grasped with the mind, hard even to look on.
95 Four were his eyes, four his ears,
96 Flame shot forth as he moved his lips.
97 His four ears grew large,
93 And his eyes likewise took in everything.
99 His figure was lofty and superior in comparison with the gods,
100 His limbs were surpassing, his nature was superior.
101 'Mari-utu, Mari-utu,
102 The Son, the Sun-god, the Sun-god of the gods.'
103 He was clothed with the aura of the Ten Gods, so exalted was his strength,
104 The Fifty Dreads were loaded upon him.
105 Anu formed and gave birth to the four winds,
106 He delivered them to him, "My son, let them whirl!"
107 He formed dust and set a hurricane to drive it,
108 He made a wave to bring consternation on Tia-mat.
109 Tia-mat was confounded; day and night she was frantic.
110 The gods took no rest, they . . . . . . .
111 In their minds they plotted evil,
112 And addressed their mother Tia-mat,
113 "When Apsû, your spouse, was killed,
114 You did not go at his side, but sat quietly.
115 The four dreadful winds have been fashioned
116 To throw you into confusion, and we cannot sleep.
117 You gave no thought to Apsû, your spouse,
113 Nor to Mummu, who is a prisoner. Now you sit alone.
119 Henceforth you will be in frantic consternation!
120 And as for us, who cannot rest, you do not love us!
121 Consider our burden, our eyes are hollow.
122 Break the immovable yoke that we may sleep.
123 Make battle, avenge them!
124 [ . . ] . . . . reduce to nothingness!
125 Tia-mat heard, the speech pleased her,
126 (She said,) "Let us make demons, [as you] have advised."
127 The gods assembled within her.
128 They conceived [evil] against the gods their begetters.
129 They . . . . . and took the side of Tia-mat,
130 Fiercely plotting, unresting by night and day,
131 Lusting for battle, raging, storming,
132 They set up a host to bring about conflict.
133 Mother H(ubur, who forms everything,
134 Supplied irresistible weapons, and gave birth to giant serpents.
135 They had sharp teeth, they were merciless . . . .
136 With poison instead of blood she filled their bodies.
137 She clothed the fearful monsters with dread,
138 She loaded them with an aura and made them godlike.
139 (She said,) "Let their onlooker feebly perish,
140 May they constantly leap forward and never retire."
141 She created the Hydra, the Dragon, the Hairy Hero
142 The Great Demon, the Savage Dog, and the Scorpion-man,
143 Fierce demons, the Fish-man, and the Bull-man,
144 Carriers of merciless weapons, fearless in the face of battle.
145 Her commands were tremendous, not to be resisted.
146 Altogether she made eleven of that kind.
147 Among the gods, her sons, whom she constituted her host,
148 She exalted Qingu, and magnified him among them.
149 The leadership of the army, the direction of the host,
150 The bearing of weapons, campaigning, the mobilization of conflict,
151 The chief executive power of battle, supreme command,
152 She entrusted to him and set him on a throne,
153 "I have cast the spell for you and exalted you in the host of the gods,
154 I have delivered to you the rule of all the gods.
155 You are indeed exalted, my spouse, you are renowned,
156 Let your commands prevail over all the Anunnaki."
157 She gave him the Tablet of Destinies and fastened it to his breast,
158 (Saying) "Your order may not be changed; let the utterance of your mouth be firm."
159 After Qingu was elevated and had acquired the power of Anuship,
160 He decreed the destinies for the gods, her sons:
161 "May the utterance of your mouths subdue the fire-god,
162 May your poison by its accumulation put down aggression."

The UN doesn't have authority over the American minuteman nukes. The president has his set of codes, along with another known by other high ranking officials such as SecDef. His order can be denied and investigated internally. Exposing an attempted nuclear attack could lead to horrible consequences such as Russia retaliating or other countries with nuclear weapons.

All I can say is, Social Media have twisted Trump hugely.
I think it's fair to give him a chance rather than being tricked by what the media is and isn't showing you.

Meh.
Looking good for the UK though, Trump likes us at least a little bit for brexit and hopefully will plan a trade deal with May near New Year, if that goes well EU countries should give us a good trade deal to import their goods into the UK then through the US.

The UN could still intervene. As well as the nation attacked by us could call for a UN defensive if we are the offensive side; similer to what N.K. wants to do. They fire rockets in Japanese waters and sometimes target S.K. boats, trying to get a ruse out of the U.S. and S.K. government to attack them. Once we do so, they'll call the UN in for a defensive.

But people wouldn't actually revolt. We have no reason to. The only reason Americans should revolt against the government is if either the government takes too much power from it's citizens, or removes our rights to weapons. (Hence why the second amendment was created. It clearly states a maintained militia.) This was mainly stated for the people to revolt against the government in case the government gained too much power.
The difference here is that Trump won fair, and Hilary supporters are rioting. Not protesting. Protesting is peaceful, and non-hazardous. Rioting is blocking roads from innocent people, looting, burning American flags, etc etc. And Clinton can't say anything either, she and her supports told Trump to accept the outcome of the election. Now look what they're doing.

Inform me when 'revolution' or 'revolt' directly means anything regarding mass rioting in order to loot shoe stores and Gucci outlets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorious_Revolution Here's an example of a revolution.

Besides, Republicans are too busy working to be able to protest/riot, since Republicans make up most of the countries work force.

haven't talked throughout this whole thread but..

i'd definitely rather have Trump than a Saudi-controlled candidate like Clinton or a on the edge commie like Bernie.

Remember, Trump has only SAID rude things in the form of WORDS. Clinton has DONE rude things in the form of actions. Let's not forget about sex-crazed Bill either.
