I feel the same way
Trump executive order #1: Mattis
#2 Get rid of Obamacare
#3 Mass deportation of...idiot celebs who cried when Hillary lost, aka Perez Hilton and Miley Cyrus

Well, I just looked at WhiteHouse.gov and this made my day a little worse

That happened?
It happened a number of times. This video has a guy screaming over it, but here's one with them telling the electoral college voters to go against what the people legally voted, as it would help their "conscience"

Gonna sit out the first few years and get my college education but if things go south I'm off to Germany

For a guy born on July 4th I'm really not that patriotic lol

Many celebrities and other personalities have lumped anyone who voted against Clinton as being garbage or somehow lesser than themselves. Political agendas from them should not be coerced on any party, really.

Ehh, it's tricky, that. On one hand, yes, we need to get off the middle eastern dependency wild ride for oil. It'd also bring back jobs that are dying around the gulf. (Many in Houston and Galveston have lost so many oil-related jobs in the past year that it's scary. That's Texas's biggest thing...our state needs the oil business or everything starts nosediving) But at the same time...we could also be hurtling towards really environment unfriendly tactics. I don't want to live near oil fracking machines and their cancerous emissions. America relies on oil so heavily that we can't just up and use wind energy instantly...but in the interim, Trump needs to fund renewable sources, and it doesn't seem like he's very accepting of that idea.

EDIT: Speaking of Texas...I'm fairly happy with Trump's cabinet...but holy heck, let me take a moment to say that...Rick Perry? He is the worst, ever. Ugh.

Then again, I'm very wary on going any further with my views, opinions, because somehow, some way, I fear that the people who are my friends on here, and other sites, will despise me because theirs and my opinions aren't one and the same. Is the
fear unsubstantiated and unwarranted? Perhaps, but the fact is, a lot of people have had rifts and falling outs over differences in political opinions; I don't want that to ever happen :unsure::(


I just hope @TotalInsanity4 isn't mad at me :(

Why Germany?
Got some family friends there, I'm learning German, there's good work in the technology and design industry there, free health care and university (if I don't finish here), citizenship requirements aren't quite as stringent as Switzerland... stuff I'm probably forgetting, but yeah. I'll have to make new plans if the AFD parry gets elected in though
Because it's just as cucked as he is.
Thx babe

Exactly. There's literally no downsides to clean energy other than it doesn't have a big install base right now, but his choice to put Rex Tillerson on his cabinet kind of shows where he -s pocketbook stands

I was initially wary posting in the more political leaning threads before, too. People will always get heated when it comes to politics. I kind of wanted to keep that separate, since I do a lot of posting/news on GBAtemp, and I don't want to be judged by my political views. I think someone called me a "Trumptard" a few pages back, which kinda made me sad, but hey, if you can get fun out of talking to others, heck, even others that you might disagree with a bit, like, I don't fully agree with @TotalInsanity4 and all of their views, but I've very much enjoyed seeing their opinion and finding some common ground with them. You can learn a lot when you put your political stances out there and have people challenge them. You might be called a cuck or a shillary supporter, but surprisingly enough, this little video game forum has a lot of pages of mature discussions with very little fighting and falling outs.

I'm not mad, it takes a lot to actually anger me ^_^

I will say, though, there are celebrities that actually genuinely want to do good. The ones that put other people down are not in that group

Wanted to make sure, I'm trying to be as neutrally opinionated as I view both sides of the political scale, politics are catalyst for many people, myself included. But the last thing I need is to have falling outs with people I care about, people who I call my friends, you know? :P There are some good celebrities who want to do good, I agree, but those who put down others to prove that "they're right" and "you're wrong" need to grow up.

Eh, I personally think that calm discussion about opinions is good, healthy even. It's when it turns into a flame war that things get dicey

My question is, why is it such a bad idea to want to make those who are not entering the country the legal way by obtaining work permits or other visas? Do things right and follow proper procedures. I don't want my neighbor to just walk into my yard and start doing as he pleases. That's just wrong. I wouldn't do it to someone else.
Also I don't believe every Muslim is bad, but restricting access for the safety of innocent people is a good idea. Just my opinion though. Don't hate me for it. Btw, I didn't vote for either one.
