He enjoyed trolling the echo chamber. He's not the first to get banned for that.

No trolling allowed.

Am i mistaken or weren't you always a supporter of Trump over Clinton despite you being a minority and Trump's documented racist views? Why you nervous now?

People think CP is a democracy.

Let's just build our own forum. And make them pay for it!

Don't know the name of the black female panelist on CBC, but I'm really feeling for her right now. She's legitimately scared and worried about her country's future and her place in it. Poor girl just looks so defeated and shocked.

This is literally the worst thing I've seen in my country in my lifetime. I don't know how we come back from this. The GOP rigged this thing for the last decade--gerrymandering districts, dismantling voters' rights, pushing ridiculous voter ID laws, convincing constituents that a legislature that refuses to do its job is the President's fault.

With them in power, how the hell is any of that going to change? With a heavily conservative SCOTUS, how is any progress going to be made?

I am disgusted by my country right now.

I had to turn off cbc. That one lady is yelling at everyone as if they are at fault. She even called Trump "Hitler".

So bad

This is dumb, and part of the reason that "liberals" have such a reputation as smug.

Trump is a disaster, but when you're some poor guy or girl who's got no chance at a job in your dying town, don't have the skills to just migrate somewhere else, and keep hearing about how the economy is getting better and better, what do you think?

You don't see any improvement in your life at all, likely the opposite, do economic facts matter when they don't impact you at all?

There is something to the support he got and it isn't just dumb voters and racists.

Why would he settle down just because he's been elected? Now he's untouchable for 4 years. He's gonna double down on the crazy.
I honestly wonder if he's going to fulfil his basic duties as head of state. All those visits with foreign dignitaries in the White House. Can you imagine him at a G8 summit? Or addressing the august delegates to the World Economic Forum in Davos?

I hope that Democrats can run a good candidate in four years. Read : Gavin Newsom or Cory Booker.

That's probably like ten grand worth of flags on the stage at Trump's HQ.

We'll call it the Trump effect. Facts don't matter, only how you feel. Your feelings justify your stance and your opinion matters tremendously. This is regardless of circumstance, context, or the fact that how someone got banned is none of your goddam business unless you're a mod.

I can't even imagine Trump at these events like G8. From Obama to Trump, what an incredible fall in image alone.

I am a Paul Ryan Republican.

I am not racist.

I support Trump because I believe Washington needs a jolt. I also want KXL.

I am hoping Paul Ryan becomes the defacto POTUS.
