The dollar is at its highest value since 2001 or 2003.  The DOW is going crazy.  Trump is asking for a Trillion Dollar investment in our infrastructure.  He's telling us he's going to take care of Americans and do what's in our best interest.  I take that to mean we don't give a fuck what Saudi or the Phillipines do to their people, so long as their alliance with the US benefits our citizens.  You guys think this is all a big fucking joke, but I don't think so.  Rather than putting in the Clinton type people who have said "You need to talk to me if you want to get anything done", he's putting people in his cabinet that have met with new people they've never met every day and build a relationship that is mutually beneficial and actually provided an end result rather than some fucking piece of paper.  Businesses know how to make shit happen because that's what they do.  Career politicians sit around, do nothing, then celebrate when they create a piece of paper that they hand off to some business to actually execute.  Trump is removing the middle men.

I'm not saying it's going to be a fucking Utopia or any different from today 3 months from now in reality.  But you'll see the framework finally being started to actually put the interests of actual Americans first rather than catering to non-citizens and every special fringe group that has manifested due to identity politics. 

The best example will be when these mayors who are promising to serve as sanctuary cities quickly fall in line once their federal money is stripped from them.  People are going to learn to follow the law for once rather than throw tantrums.  Trump's not going to let a group of dipshit protestors stop a pipeline from being installed.  He'll hit them with water canons and remove their supplies until they return home to their parents luxury sky rises.  The era of the spoiled toddler who gets to scream and silence any dissent is about to be over.

I watched his entire speech in Hershey.  I loved it.  I didn't take that interpretation at all.  It was about thanking them for not blindly following whatever candidate had a (D) next to their name.  I think this guy is going to be an amazing President.  I'm still very nervous, but I see the potential for this guy to be remembered like Kennedy or Reagan.

Remember in 2008 when Palin's email was hacked?  I think Obama only won because Russia was scared of McCain and wanted the guy in office they knew wouldn't pose a threat. I have no real evidence of this, but someone in a suit I can't name or refer to the intel told me so. Granted, there's no consensus among intel agencies, but I'm an emotion guy. I knew Zimmerman killed Martin in cold blood and was a racist. I knew Mike Brown was on his knees with his hands up, pleading for his life. I knew Benghazi was a spur of the moment uprising from a video on YouTube 5 guys had seen. I knew that girl in the rolling stone article was repeatedly raped. 

McCain didn't win because he ran a poor campaign or lost credibility when he suspended his campaign or chose a complete fucking idiot as his running mate. No way. He lost because the Russians hacked Palin's email, released it to the media who made it available to everyone, and somehow got the majority of states to determine they didn't want McCain.

Remember in the debates when Hillary swore there was no evidence her server was ever hacked?

My how the times have changed. If they're going to claim Russia hacked Hillary, shouldn't she be responsible since she elected to have a private server with shit security?

I think the war on drugs has been a huge mistake. There's very little you're going to see me defend about Nixon.

That being said, heroin and opioid addiction kills more people annually than firearm fatalities, yet doesn't get nearly the attention gun deaths receive. Serious reform is needed to halt the over prescription of pain killers. Trump's border enforcement will also help end the influx of heroin, which almost exclusively enters the country via Mexico. The federal government considering pot on the same level as Heroin is truly stupid. I'm hoping Trump keeps Sessions from being stupid on this.

I can name several progressive policies rammed down our throats. The Dream Act for one. Admitting Transgendered people into the military (I couldn't send soldiers with sleep apnea to Iraq because I couldn't guarantee access to electricity for their machines 100% of the time. I couldn't deploy Soldiers who were on anti depression medication as it makes them unstable and access to medication isn't guaranteed. The hormones and treatment transgendered people need aren't going to be readily available in a war zone, so they're dead weight from the start). Removal of work requirements to receive welfare. 

Stupid shit the GOP has done:

Voting repeatedly to appeal Obamacare knowing Obama would veto even if it miraculously made it through the Senate.

Refusing to budge at all and work with Obama, embarrassing Boehner and resulting in his resignation.

Obsession with abortion and planned parenthood. The crime rate drop in the early 90s coincidentally also aligns with Roe V Wade and the millions on adolescents who would have been born to poor single mothers. I don't think it was a coincidence.

The thirst for blood in Iraq and Afghanistan, but a complete 180 on any current threat.

This was bipartisan, but passing a law to let people sue Saudi Arabia for 9/11.

Their obsession with gay marriage and championing people like Kim Davis, meanwhile half of them are on their 2nd or 3rd wife with lots of intern action.
