Only for people who were delusionally optimistic. What are you surprised by?

• Adversarial relationship with media: standard
• Crackdown on immigration: key issue
• Building a border wall: Key issue
• Repeal Obamacare: Key issue
• Wild and insane allegations of voter fraud: This is something he does regularly. He once claimed Obama wasn't qualified to be president because he was secretly not American-born!
• Women are unhappy to be around him: He was caught on tape bragging about habitually groping them, so...
• Compromised by ties with Russia: Widely reported before the election
• No action on climate change: Completely unsurprising

The only thing that's mildly surprising is the disjointedness of the team, the slowness of the transition, and the massive insider leaks, but those are far from being all bad.

yes if you go after fraudulent votes democrats will be the ones hardest hit

There's been action on climate change, just in the wrong direction.

Somehow every fraudulent vote they find will be democrat.

Trump is going to get competitive with Putin's "election" results.

Will Trump have the restraint to not "win" in 2020(?*) with 100% of the "vote"?

*calendar change?

LOL WTF

Yep, an e-order and an app on his phone.

Dems are playing checkers while Trump plays Clash of Clans

Never had anything to do with fraudulent votes. Had to do with votes most likely to go Democratic. People of color, poor people, and young people, are most likely to vote D, and least likely to have photo ID, so they made voter ID restrictions. I think it was Texas where they tried to institute it so that a gun license was a valid form of ID, but a student ID wasn't. Really obvious what they were trying to do.

And just as a reminder, even in the Jim Crow South, if they expected that African Americans would have voted in the interests of the ruling white class, I am sure that they would not have instituted literacy tests and poll taxes.

Elite reference imo (I'm not far from there)

For Your Consideration

Trump's BOLD Plans for ACTION

"Hilarious and heartfelt...the must see Presidential Administration!" (Boston Globe, 1/24/17)

"Illuminating, unnerving and unforgettable!" (Vanity Fair, 1/24/17)

"*****!" (Joel Siegel, 1/24/17)

Trump gave voting fraud numbers before the investigation even started. Under budget and ahead of schedule!

Let's look at that Atlantic quote:

Just incredible spin going on here.

I feel like for most liberals, Trump doing what he said he'd do is close to worst case.

The best case scenario was him dying of auto-erotic asphixiation in a cold bathroom 10 minutes after his inauguration.
The worst case scenario was nukes on day 1.

I'd say we're somewhere in the middle, trending towards worse.

Exactly. But not bc they are actually fraudulent. Repubs will concoct reasons to suppress opposition votes. They will force millions of ppl to jump through hoops of increasing difficulty and to exert tons of effort to reclaim voting rights. Many will still be falsely disenfranchised and many will simply give up.

Once the dems are subdued, they will cull the repub party.

In 10 yrs, we will be like the soviet union. One party. No dissent.

@CNN needs to say something nice about him to get on that list yet somehow still be fake news

and if you're gonna quote Sean ****ing Hannity you might as well just quote Trump himself

"America is being made great again." --Donald J Trump, entrepreneur

LOL Trump slappies.

This is the **** we are dealing with. People will blatantly lie to protect him even when presented with solid evidence that doesn't even ****ing mean anything.

Donald Trump ... is (a) ... good ... president

NYT - various

Seems true enough.

exactly right but I think 10 is a conservative number--they're currently on pace for 2. That's the goal and trump is impatient.

"There is... evidence for President Trump's claim that millions of fraudulent votes were cast in the election".

Yea doesn't everything w/ voter suppression need to be done within 2 years? The GOP has to know a ****load of voters will be coming out in force.

The deck is so stacked in 2018, the GOP stranglehold will most likely survive regardless. They have 4 years to crush opposition.
