More about the way that it's completely inconceivable to them that anyone can still be upset about the outcome. "You lost get over it already." Like there were no rights at stake, nobody's life could be negatively affected by the presidency of a man who vowed to deport millions and repeal the ACA. Even after you explain that some protesters' names will be put into a registry of surveillance targets, you still get that vibe of "But, cmon, don't be a pussy, there's always next season."

I have a feeling the attitude of most of them toward surveillance, registries, etc would be... "Well if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about, do you?"

They don't understand, because they've never had to understand and haven't cared enough to learn.

Uhh you were trying to say the world is just as bad and ****ed up right now as it was 8 years ago, maybe worse.

Nobody's making you post such idiotic things dude, that's all you doing it on your own.

You voted for the candidate who's going to make that number even larger, why are you throwing out statistics that you clearly don't believe make your point?

If debt is a black mark on Obama's record, it is at the most a small thing that isn't enough to dissuade you from voting for a guy promising to outdo Obama in that regard.

Huh? How does Trump potentially being worse a defense of Obama?

I clearly do believe that Obama (and everyone else involved, including Bush, the house, the senate, everyone) has ruined our future, and this has made my exact point. We're worse off than we were on inauguration day.

Lol, nobody is even talking about the national debt anymore, most serious economists aren't particularly worried about it. And all the national deficit really is is a regressive tax, since it's necessary corresponding devaluance of the dollar is equal no matter who holds that dollar.

A serious case of fiscal amnesia may soon be sweeping the GOP.

For eight years, Republicans hammered President Barack Obama for exploding the national debt. But now a GOP-led spending spree is coming, with Donald Trump riding to the White House on trillion-dollar promises and a Republican Congress that looks likely to do his bidding. It’s a potential echo of the last time Republicans ran Washington, when then-Vice President Dick Cheney memorably remarked, “Deficits don’t matter.”

Losing all's economic insecurity though! So he's allowed to not make any sense, or bother himself with possession of facts, and it's okay have a hodge podge of nonsensical inconsistent reasons to love Trump. It could be that a liberal was mean to him, or he saw Kapernick obnoxiously kneeling, or maybe that uppity cast of Hamilton is just too much. Have a heart.

It's an indictment of your own argument. If you actually thought $X of new debt was a really bad thing that has made our country worse you wouldn't have voted for the candidate that would add the most debt. But, you did.

It isn't a small thing to me. Legal weed in 7 states is a small (good) thing to me. Real fiscal responsibility is my issue, and it's a big one. I have no party, there is no sane party. I propose we start over.

Like, what imaginary debate does this guy want to have? People even tried to engage him about this transparent and obvious lie and he brushed it off.

Losing, bro, the President won't ever stop liberals from dominating pop culture and laughing at your worldview. Only you can stop that, and the only way you can do that is by abandoning your garbage worldview.

US president-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s work when he took time out from planning the transition to his presidency in January to meet with his Indian business partners.

Trump met Atul Chordia, Sagar Chordia and Kalpesh Mehta at Trump Tower, New York on Tuesday noon (US time). The discussion revolved around Indian economy and Modi. Trump’s family, including daughter Ivanka and sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr, was also present. Mehta is managing partner of Tribeca Developers, Trump's India representative responsible for supporting the brand in the country.
