Unity

I see all of the liberal democrats calling for unity now that Trump has been elected. Why does Trump and the Americans that voted for him have to bend over backwards to accomodate them? I don't understand. They should either get on board or get left behind. This is the United States of America. Love it or leave it. Why should we change our country to accomodate them?

Have you saw the protests or riots is what I like to call em. I'm with you. Screw them. Learn to like it or get the crap outta here. I hated Obama being elected. I knew from the word go he was gonna be a total disaster but we all lived with it.. Didn't run out and raise all kinds of cain and burn flags and stuff.

It all starts in the welfare line and public and private universities. These schools all are loaded with liberal, socialist pot smoking professors. From what I see on t.v, 90% of the protesters are a direct product of liberal schools or the welfare system. Guess what ? We won this time, so like Ga Dawg said,screw them.!!!!!!!! Just like they said about us in 2008 and 2012 ! BTW, anybody know Whoopi Goldberg 's address ? I need it so I can help get her moved to the Canadian border. Anybody else got any free time, Im sure those other " celebrity freaks " could use a hand moving also.

Whoa now, if they smoked more pot, they wouldn't be out rioting.
I think that we should bring back the old slogan, "America, love it or leave it". Y'all are right, we didn't riot or protest after Obama was elected.

Does anyone besides me remember the good old days when the police would tear gas, beat and even shoot protesters. They had those big black clubs for "crowd control". They don't even carry them any more.

The cops should just play Kumbayah over the loud speakers and hand out participation badges.

We have unity in this country the descendants of the Army of the Potomoc and the descendants of the Army of Northern Virginia stood side by side , shoulder to shoulder in order to abolish slavery and the party of Jefferson Davis. Remember Remember the 8th of November! Amen and God Bless America!

Unity. After 8 yrs of a President that has pitted every class, race, age, and gender against each other,we need it. News is that Trump just appointed Reince Priebus as his chief of staff. Great move. Chief of Staff is in the ear of the President on a daily basis. The other option being talked about was Steve Bannon. Bannon is a blow the whole system up type demagogue. That would've basically been giving the middle finger to Republicans in Congress and the protesting left.

The Police have become too soft, in fear of their jobs and even going to prison themselves.
Hopefully Trump will allow them to do their job, with whatever it takes, without fear of no one having their backs.

There's a huge difference between a Democrat, and a liberal!
I have no issues with a Democrat, but I have absolutely no use for a liberal.

Ed said Democrats that vote for liberals are liberals. The blue dogs don't normally vote for the liberals. They stay at home or from time to time cross party lines. Blue dogs tend to be pro life and usually support 2nd amendment.

The blue dogs are the Democrats that are the old time demos hoping the party will return to what it used to be. The party has went to far left and I don't think it will ever come back to the middle.

IDK, just my opinion.

I heard on the news today that twitter will be adding features to there social media site. You can now report and block any kind of wording or terminology that is ofensive. When blocking these people and what the news called offensive language then that automatically reports the name caller to twitter. Not only has the last couple generations been cottled and cant take loss or failure. Now these companies are making it to where they dont have to even read something that they dont agree with.

Democrat party has been and always will be liberal, they have taken it to new heights lately. You can not really call your self a democrat if you are anti abortion and pro 2nd. Some how calling your self something like a "bluedog" makes it all right to vote for someone you KNOW will further abortion and pass laws that restrict your gun rights.

I can't believe that sissy Obama is traveling around "reassuring" those other countries that they have nothng to worry about and shouldn't be afraid. If the Trump that I voted for follows through with what he said, then they had better be worried and shaking in their boots. Obama even told NATO that they had nothing to worry about when Trump plainly stated that the other NATO countries were going to have to start paying their fair share.

I saw Obama speaking on TV yesterday. He is so "Presidential". I almost wanted to Puke. I sure do hope that Trump stays unpresidential. It is time that we had a real man running this country again. I wouldn't mind at all if Trump got mad and threw out a couple of four letter words at his next press conference or told someone to go to hell.
