These protests only turn to riots in unsavory liberal hellholes where self-defense is difficult. Hopefully these events redpill Portland liberals a bit (although most of the dreadlocked and face-pierced white people arrested so far indicates that they're the same ones doing the crime). That's what modern liberalism is all about, a right to destroy property and hurt people without consequence.
And set up tent cities. You forgot the fabulous tent cities. They will co-habitate in a collective free from the constraints of modern society. Except they will elect a mayor because eventually someone needs to steer the city. And appoint a security detail, because apparently not everyone in the collective got the memo and someone keeps stealing shit. And eventually there will be a baker, you know to bake bread, because every collective needs a baker (although in Portland's case instead of bread I suppose it would be penis shaped donuts)

Nobody in the history of the presidency has been more over their head than Trump.

Nobody in recent history, anyway. He'll have lots of help figuring it out from Pence, Priebus, Ryan, McConnell, Bolton, Mr 9/11 Giuliani & a host of other Repub politicos.

They'll see if they can bring back the glory days of the Bush years with deregulation & tax cuts for the financial elite, see if they can really crash the economy this time around. They're so rich that they can ride the waves like a nuclear aircraft carrier in a hurricane.

I'm kind'a amused by the fact that because Trump is such a bad example of what a POTUS should be, there's this need for some of his supporters to denigrate the opposition party into being of a lower stature than Trump. Well, in my mind it's simply because there's not much for them to speak highly of when Trump's name comes up for discussion. Same thing happened with Bush 43 and let's not even get started with Cheney, or Rumsfeld, or any of those other neocon chickenhawks that took "The Decider" for a long ride around the war making merry-go-round.

For the fact that Trump won the election, does not in any way mean that he's the more qualified, more talented, more dedicated and more loyal candidate before or after he got elected.

All it means is that he got lucky and hit the right chords that mattered. And, he's still the same womanizing crass arrogant asshole today as he was a month or 10, 20 years ago.

Anybody can put a bullshit ad on Craigslist. It's probably a marketing scam. Sign up & check it out, tell us if it's real.

They cost $35 each in those categories. Must be some really dedicated trolls, there are hundreds of dollars worth of ads.

We've already shared the links to people confirming they responded to the ad and were being paid for their protesting.
...but yeah, someone more local should try to sign up!

I find it amusing because first you claim that winning doesn't prove he is good, while repeating the common liberal character assault which... guess what? It doesn't prove he is bad at doing the job of a president.

I mean, on the one hand you realize there is a difference between rhetoric and real political skills, but then later in your post you forget that you made that point and you try to imply that lack of political correctness equates to being a bad president.

That Trump is the same womanizing crass arrogant asshole does not in any way mean that he's the less qualified, less talented, less dedicated or less loyal candidate before or after he got elected.

these kids are speaking from their hearts, not their wallets.
...their hearts, which have been fully programmed for 10 years by 'progressive' teachers encouraging them to take this action.

Protest... or math class. Easy choice for many of them.

...minorities who are not under even the remotest threat or danger whatsoever - except by bullsh*t rhetoric fed to them by the 'progressive' left.
So despite the fact they're as secure as any other American (provided they didn't illegally jump the border) they now quiver with fear for their safety. After all, every station on TV was telling them "Trump is gonna' GETCHAAaaaa!!"

I'd say you've a salient point or two of which I can agree with *within the context you've defined*. However, I'm definitely not repeating any kind of "liberal character assault" when describing Trump. It's just my personal stated opinion of the guy, and I'd think what I described him as is for all intent and purpose, common knowledge. I'm neither attacking him nor denigrating him as far as I'm concerned. I'm just utilizing his well known notoriety as a basis to make a point about how some folks are attacking the opposition party in lieu of the fact that there's not much good, if any, that can be said about Trump and his notorious character.

Lack of political correctness? It's my considered opinion that Trump despises political correctness and is anathema to his true character. That's just who he is, and it not a character trait that bodes well for the position he will inherit, nor is his habit of having his mouth being two hops, a skip and a slide in front of his brain (The Biden Effect).

That being said, I can freely admit that I cannot foretell the future and predict with any kind of accuracy how well Trump will do as POTUS. That was not my intent, although I do wish him the best.

The point I was attempting to make IRT that part of my post was that as far as his character, his personality, his being is concerned, he's not going to transform himself into something other than who he is the day he gets sworn in. In time, he may make some needed adjustments to who he is at present, but he's still going to be essentially the same guy whose rants and raves have become practically iconic in nature..

Whether that's a good thing or bad is beside the point I was making. Whether the traits that's been hard wired into him will make him the best president we'll ever have is beyond me, although applying common sense and logic would give a person pause as far as Trump's past and present behavior is concerned.

I hope I've adequately addressed your concerns in this matter.

thousands of high schoolers walked out and peacefully protested today. almost 10,000 in Seattle and Los Angeles and by the hundreds in several smaller cities.

No, these kids are simply regurgitating falsehoods fed to them by the media and their teachers. Do you really think these 14,15,16,17 year old kids have a firm grasp on politics? Seriously? I'd love to see them answer some pertinent questions about the election and watch the panicky looks on their faces when they don't have a clue to the answers.

Hold on for a moment. You've been been posting various threatening comments about certain minorities for some time here. Are you a member of the progressive left? Or are you just expecting our memories to be as short as your own?

Trump isn't consulting his previous proclamations. He didn't have a plan. Every thing he said was to be elected. Now he's responding to what's going on around him. He's not a leader. He was a CEO, a businessman, a high stakes entrepreneur. His personal motto is "think big." He has an insatiable appetite for getting attention. Now he's bitten off a lot more than he can chew. He's going to make a lot of mistakes, tons of them. Some of them will be real whoppers. His first big mistake was make Steve Bannon his close advisor. That wasn't just a big mistake, it was really stupid.

I have no problem hating mob violence. I think it's among the lowest forms of human behavior, probably ahead of only forcible rape, and puts us closer to animals. imo, even cold-blooded murder is better than mob violence, because at least the former is usually rational. Rioters should be put down in the streets and thrown into a river.

Svnla is an immaculate conception of the ideal trump voter.

Do you have any evidence to show that I was a Trump voter? Look like you pull out another lie out of your butthole, mister "4rd grade english". So pathetic, can't tell the truth at all. The readers can scroll back a few pages to see the evidences I provided about your multiple lies.
