Gosh, I have been so silly! Of course, Trump is a keen strategist and we should all be grateful for the sharp jewel that is his mind.

Hey Ron!

do you ever just shut your fucking mouth?

He just doesn't get what this thread is about, at all.  :lulz:

The dude worships a fictional frog. And believes in magic. And still expects people to take him seriously. I think he has a fundamental misunderstanding of what this whole forum is about  :lol:

Worse, he converted to the shabby pest hole that is fascism because he thinks they're winning and that by joining, he is also a winner.

Basically, he's the complete chump.

Oh no no no you dont get it. Most of the people who self identify as fascists at the moment wont be ready for fascism when it comes. When fascism comes it probably wont even like those self-identified "fascists" very much. The current crop of "fascists" is pretty sad to be honest. When fascism does come, and you will all play a big role in that(Just look at yourselves talk. "Lets stop pretending voters are informed/rational"). THAT is the bandwagon I plan on jumping on. Im only part of the alt-right(which Im sure you think is synonymous with fascism) because I think it will put in me in a better position to jump on that bandwagon. What with taking over the Republican Party and all.

Did he take the bait?

Sorry Ill get right on that. So the man defeats an opponent that drastically outspent in him, along with primary opponents that both outspent him and were backed by the media and his own party. But hes an idiot because he didnt buy a plane?

About that resounding control of the Republican Party you're counting on RP.

It's like you're hoping that your political dreams will be made real for you, huh?

It's going to work out about as well as asking the Darkness for a little... something extra up your stocking.  :evil:

I REALLY don't want to post a spoiler of it for you, but you and the others involved at the esoteric level are SO fucked... Kuk-drunk you might say.

SO IN CONTROL, HUH BRUH?

Why I Will Not Cast My Electoral Vote for Donald Trump

By CHRISTOPHER SUPRUN

DECEMBER 5, 2016

DALLAS — I am a Republican presidential elector, one of the 538 people asked to choose officially the president of the United States. Since the election, people have asked me to change my vote based on policy disagreements with Donald J. Trump. In some cases, they cite the popular vote difference. I do not think presidents-elect should be disqualified for policy disagreements. I do not think they should be disqualified because they won the Electoral College instead of the popular vote. However, now I am asked to cast a vote on Dec. 19 for someone who shows daily he is not qualified for the office.

Fifteen years ago, as a firefighter, I was part of the response to the Sept. 11 attacks against our nation. That attack and this year's election may seem unrelated, but for me the relationship becomes clearer every day.

George W. Bush is an imperfect man, but he led us through the tragic days following the attacks. His leadership showed that America was a great nation. That was also the last time I remember the nation united. I watch Mr. Trump fail to unite America and drive a wedge between us.

Mr. Trump goes out of his way to attack the cast of "Saturday Night Live" for bias. He tweets day and night, but waited two days to offer sympathy to the Ohio State community after an attack there. He does not encourage civil discourse, but chooses to stoke fear and create outrage.

This is unacceptable. For me, America is that shining city on a hill that Ronald Reagan envisioned. It has problems. It has challenges. These can be met and overcome just as our nation overcame Sept. 11.

The United States was set up as a republic. Alexander Hamilton provided a blueprint for states' votes. Federalist 68 argued that an Electoral College should determine if candidates are qualified, not engaged in demagogy, and independent from foreign influence. Mr. Trump shows us again and again that he does not meet these standards. Given his own public statements, it isn't clear how the Electoral College can ignore these issues, and so it should reject him.

I have poured countless hours into serving the party of Lincoln and electing its candidates. I will pour many more into being more faithful to my party than some in its leadership. But I owe no debt to a party. I owe a debt to my children to leave them a nation they can trust.

Mr. Trump lacks the foreign policy experience and demeanor needed to be commander in chief. During the campaign more than 50 Republican former national security officials and foreign policy experts co-signed a letter opposing him. In their words, "he would be a dangerous president." During the campaign Mr. Trump even said Russia should hack Hillary Clinton's emails. This encouragement of an illegal act has troubled many members of Congress and troubles me.

Hamilton also reminded us that a president cannot be a demagogue. Mr. Trump urged violence against protesters at his rallies during the campaign. He speaks of retribution against his critics. He has surrounded himself with advisers such as Stephen K. Bannon, who claims to be a Leninist and lauds villains and their thirst for power, including Darth Vader. "Rogue One," the latest "Star Wars" installment, arrives later this month. I am not taking my children to see it to celebrate evil, but to show them that light can overcome it.

Gen. Michael T. Flynn, Mr. Trump's pick for national security adviser, has his own checkered past about rules. He installed a secret internet connection in his Pentagon office despite rules to the contrary. Sound familiar?

Finally, Mr. Trump does not understand that the Constitution expressly forbids a president to receive payments or gifts from foreign governments. We have reports that Mr. Trump's organization has business dealings in Argentina, Bahrain, Taiwan and elsewhere. Mr. Trump could be impeached in his first year given his dismissive responses to financial conflicts of interest. He has played fast and loose with the law for years. He may have violated the Cuban embargo, and there are reports of improprieties involving his foundation and actions he took against minority tenants in New York. Mr. Trump still seems to think that pattern of behavior can continue.

The election of the next president is not yet a done deal. Electors of conscience can still do the right thing for the good of the country. Presidential electors have the legal right and a constitutional duty to vote their conscience. I believe electors should unify behind a Republican alternative, an honorable and qualified man or woman such as Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. I pray my fellow electors will do their job and join with me in discovering who that person should be.

Fifteen years ago, I swore an oath to defend my country and Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. On Dec. 19, I will do it again.

Ever heard of The Hamilton Electors? They're if nothing else a VERY plain sign on the wall that your shit's not ACTUALLY as you see it.

Of course with all that Kuk-juice flowing all up from your root and down from your crown I expect that you miss a LOT of things.

Nah I dont have delusions of making that high, or the desire to deal with the bullshit that comes with it. My main goal right now is making the Republican party more and more eco, so that when real bipartisan fascism comes the Eco will be a given.

1) Holy Hell the butthurt. So far there are total of TWO electors going against trump. But these two are totally going to convince electors from districts that voted overwhelmingly Trump to destroy their political careers trying to get Clinton elected. Also love the name. HAMILTON ELECTORS. Because if theres one thing Hamilton would have approved of, its free trade. Also women holding office.

2) What is your problem with kek friend?

I mean, a lot of it IS funny. But not really in keeping with the theme of the thread, which is funny shit President Cheeto gets himself up to.

What's really interesting is his intense desire to be on the winning side, without considering if it's really a good idea to do so.
