> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > The problem with that argument is that it presumes that they want a replacement at all. It seems far more likely to me (and in tune with their general behavior) that they’ll completely eliminate it, and then openly mock the people who are dying as “losers” and “parasites”. That seems the most likely outcome. ---

First line, I got hit by a couple of drops. And i said “oh, this is too bad, but we’ll go right through it”. But the truth is: that it stopped immediately. It was amazing.

In fact, [it **didn’t** stop raining during Trump’s speech](http://www.npr.org/2017/01/21/510977543/campaign-trail-trump-on-display-as-he-goes-to-cia-on-first-day-as-president). (Hence Rev. Franklin Graham’s mention in his closing prayer of rain as a Biblical sign of blessing.) ---

Sure- as long as protesters don’t mess up my day by protesting near bus routes (or worse, bus terminals) I use (I’ll be pissed off if there’s a protest at the Neva/Archer bus terminal because I connect to the Pace 330 there, although that is unlikely at best), damage/destroy businesses I use (so don’t start a riot at Ricobene’s at 26th and Princeton, or Connie’s at Archer & Normal), or just flat out get on top of my dad’s car while he’s driving, either by himself or when I’m in it too. Flip my car and I will hunt YOU down. Well, not you, the poster, but whoever decides to flip my car. Locations are all in Chicago, before anyone asks about those locations. ---

Trump’s been in office more than 48 hours, yet tornadoes have killed at least 18 people in the SE today.Why hasn’t Trump put a stop to these deadly dustdevils? :mad: ---

Nixon thought the same. It did not work for him. (Sure, he had a lot more to explain for his quest of revenge with the attempt at stealing information from the Democratic HQ, but then even Republicans did demand that he release the taxes or else.) ---

Well, he’s been a lying sack of shit so far. On top of that, the fucktard apparently still thinks going back into Iraq to “get their oil” is a good idea. Yay, he’s not even bright enough to be this decade’s neocon. ---

Some people on Twitter are talking about planning another march for April 15th, if he doesn’t do it by then. That one probably won’t get to 4 million world-wide, though. ---

I doubt the bigots that were screaming about sharia law will mind dictating foreign policy based on their bronze aged mythology. ---

You wonder, dontcha? You hear, say, this latest on how there were millions of illegal votes and that’s why he didn’t win the popular vote landslide as well as the electoral landslide, and, you think “well,that’ll do it, even the most brain numbed true believer is gonna bail out on this shit! For sure and for certain, this will tear it!” And it doesn’t. So, maybe there is a God, She just hates us. ---
