And Trump met with the prime minister of Japan today.

Prime Minister Abe stated that he feels he can trust and work with Trump.

According to reports, one of Abe's top aides was told by Trump's advisors not to take Trump's campaign promises literally.

So no, he doesn't know what he's doing.

Trump stated that he wants Japan to have nukes, while Japan has adopted a pacifist position.

He also stated that he wants Japan to shoulder a good deal of what it costs to have our military in that region.

Doesn't have a clue? Easily manipulated? Who knows at this point.

Yes but it was not a formal meeting, they said it was a "chance meeting." But Trump is not even in office yet, so the meeting really means nothing.

I think it is safe to say that Trump is making it up as he goes along. If wants respect, he better have some integrity whether or not a meeting is formal or informal. When two world leaders are meeting, is there truly an informal meeting where you can say, "Punked! I can't believe you thought I was telling you the truth at that practice meeting." It is one thing to tell the press corps that the night is over and then head out to dinner.

But you cant judge the guy yet, let him see what he can do, he might surprise some of you liberal moonbats.

Oh cool, Glen Beck circa 2008 is here.

And with just as many real facts!

Who knows man, Trump is far from stupid so we will just have to wait and see what he will do. I just want to see him approve the damn Key-Stone, other then that I don's care how bad he kills the US economy. But I do not believe he will start any wars.

I hope Trump does well but I have serious doubts. I care about the USA economy because we are closely tied to it. I'm not an economist, but I fear that Canada's economy will be badly depressed if the USA economy tanks.

How about you suggest an appropriate word or term. People not bothering to vote then protesting the outcome of an election would seem to fit this pretty well
a situation that is strange or funny because things happen in a way that seems to be the opposite of what you expected
You would expect the people that actually voted and then didn't get the desired result would be upset and may go out to protest, as futile as it may be. If a person didn't vote I would not expect them to complain and then go out and protest that would make them a moron.

If someone had been in a red state, didn't vote, and was protesting there's lots of words that would be applicable.

Some would say it's hypocritical, I don't think it really is but it does seem incongruous.

Regretful is another word, if someone thought that it was in the bag so didn't bother to go.

Epiphany if someone suddenly realized that they'd done the wrong thing.

So yes it may be stupid that they didn't vote and now are protesting, people do stupid things, but so what? Doesn't change anything.

People in a very blue state not voting because their vote won't make a difference then protesting I don't see as a big deal.

So do I. It would be unprecedented for the electoral college to over-turn an election, even though the popular vote when a different way, and by a substantial number. The electoral college's role to to prevent abuses of the system, not correct the decisions of stupid people.

An Alex Jones reader I see. Let me guess? You also check abovetopsecret.com for your news? It is amazing how many people cannot verify the validity of stories by going to non-partisan sources who provide oversight for these interests, like charitynavigator.org. How does the Clinton Foundation stack up?

Clinton Foundation. 94.74% rating.

That puts them above:

American Kidney Fund. 94.69%
Teach for America. 94.5%
The Children's Aid Society. 93.43%
Doctors Without Borders. 92.61%
The American Red Cross. 83.3%

Quote:

This is total bull#### of the highest level. This would indicate voter fraud of the highest levels, which would go against the historical levels by 2,000,000%. During this election almost every single incident of voter fraud was a result of actions by Trump supporters, not Clinton supporters. This was directly a result of Trump's scare mongering and making his rube followers believing that this is a real problem, when historically, it doesn't exist.

Quote:

Who is the successful billionaire you speak of? Donald Trump failed to prove he was either of the above when he refuse to release his tax information. If Trump is what he claims to be, and there are lots of people who question his claims, release the documents that prove your claims. Also, what successful person claims bankruptcy six times?

Quote:

Hyperbole doesn't help your claims in any shape or form. The MSM (tipping your hand in regards to your obvious bias) has not been promoting anything to get Clinton in office. In fact, their actions, by not properly informing the public to the reality of the biggest issue that swayed the opinion against Clinton - the use of a private server - was criminal in action. By not immediately calling Comey's comments what they were, political grandstanding, they did a disservice to the democracy they are charged to safeguard.

Proof required. Sounds and smells like bull#### to me. Kind of like there were 3,000,000 instances of voter fraud and Trump is a successful billionaire.

The problem with the Clinton Foundation is wikileaks exposed that access for political purposes was given to some of those who donated to the Foundation. That is crooked, probably worse than the email scandals, although it didn't get as much attention.

Would it? What about someone underage? Or someone unable to vote, or even register to vote? Are they morons?

To that post, he used irony incorrectly, and had so few facts that he didn't even get the city or state correct (the actual "most didn't vote" headline came from Portland, and was because most didn't vote IN OREGON, since a lot were from outside of Oregon, underage, and unregistered), but you're defending it anyway.

There was a report out of Portland about a group of people arrested and many either didn't or weren't registered to vote.

He's probably referring to that, getting the place scrambled.

An extreme-left liberal, which raises two questions:

Who on this board is an "extreme" left liberal...
and why did he say "liberal extreme-left liberal"

Saying "liberal moonbat" is like saying "pizza pepperoni pizza"

It is a very big deal when people are blocking traffic, damaging public and private property not to mention getting hit by a car

Sounds like irony to me. You are 100% right it doesn't change anything like for example the outcome.

I don't think it did though. There wasn't ever an actual example of pay to play as far as I ever saw.

While that was insinuated, nothing in the leaks showed. In fact, the incredible volume of emails with no proof should really exonerate her
