New USA President!

Also what is a wall actually going to do, aside from costing a metric fuckton?

It isn't, I'm all for alternative sources, just don't make me choose wind power, I like the idea of solar so much more, as I think it's a helluva lot more reliable than wind. I just want costs to go down and to have solar more readily available, we get a fair bit of sunlight where I live. Now, if I lived in the southern part of my state, we'd get an average of 300 days with sunlight.

Solar and wind together is actually a pretty unstoppable combination (usually when it's not sunny it's windy)

If we could implement taxes and tariffs on other countries that result in huge monetary income to the US with no downsides we would already be doing it.

I just want it to be viable and affordable and no longer have to rely on fossil fuels, is that too much to want? As for Trump, I have my reasons why I didn't want you-know-who to win, but I still my tongue and will not elaborate the reasons on here, maybe on a personal/private blog, but the responses would be far too toxic for speaking my mind. But I digress. I don't know what's going to happen, but I don't want to spend the next four years living in fear. Speaking one's mind on the internet is a death sentence.


Edit: I can't help but feel I've already pissed off innumerable amounts of people just by trying to be neutral and honest.

 

[Blood Fetish]

You aren't living in fear, but you are scared of posting anonymously on a Gameboy internet forum and liken it to a death sentence?

No, I'm scared of what people will do if I dare voice an opinion that isn't aligned with theirs, i.e. why I like X candidate more than Y candidate, etc, etc. See the trouble with voicing my opinions and political beliefs on here, anonymity or not, is that people who know me on here and outside on other social media sites is that they will think less of me because my views don't agree with theirs. Because of that, I feel a self-imposed injunction and fear that they will hate my effing guts if I don't agree with them.

If I can't voice my views and opinions on politics without retaliation, being called out, verbally crucified, what am I supposed to do?! Knowing that someone will be offended by my political views is what drives me in not wanting to express them at all.

@Blood Fetish has a point. You're better off finding common ground and promoting discussion than trying to censor yourself. I for one don't have any negative intent when posting or replying here, I'm just trying to gauge others opinions and see if I can get people to see things from my point of view (and vice versa)

 

[el_gonz87]

The wall is going to cost tens and possibly hundreds of billions of dollars. There's no way they'll recoup that from Mexico.

Money well spent! At least he's not cowering under a desk sending $400 million tax payer dollars in ransom to you know who: http://fortune.com/2016/08/05/money-america-iran/

No wonder the ruskies never respect Barack Hussein.

Easier said than done I'm afraid, I don't even know if I have what it takes to carry on an intelligent discussion with politics, esp. with the way the world is going now. *Sigh* I just don't know anymore.

Fucking hell, I don't even know what to feel.

Technically that money wasn't even ours to begin with

Obama tried to dismantle my future generations with the stupid taxes he had me pay for this liberal crap and that liberal crap so that people don't feel "sad". I've damn near paid 120k to the government in the last 4 years. Not anymore!

I hated Obamacare for one reason, and one reason only, that damn penalty BS. I mean, really, did they have to make people like me who doesn't even have a chance to afford minimum coverage? I don't make enough given all my bills I have to pay >.>

Except that was actually going towards making sure people could actually get healthcare, as opposed to making it easier for corporations to burn through our atmosphere

Wall + end of sanctuary cities and criminalizing illegal immigration (as it should be) will. Let Paco sit in an american jail cell for extradition, no burritos served in jail my friend!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Then regulate health care, that is the worst implementation I have ever seen to get things accomplished. Give me a break, 22% premium increase? Is that fair for the entire country? I get people are suffering, but don't just slap the other 60% country with the burden because it's the easy thing to do!

Byebye ObamaCare heloooooooo TrumpCare! MAGA'd

Penalizing people who can't afford it was pretty stupid of them, it doesn't help or motivate, it only makes us not want it even more.

But how do you catch an undocumented immigrant except at the point they enter the country or they are arrested for a separate crime?

Premiums were rising well before the ACA

You dn't need to catch the ones you haven't found yet. Just send all the ones that you have found back and the others will get the message. This has been done before with great success.

True this is a combination of the government(over-regulation) and good old corporate greed.

I think the wall will deter a lot, and those bold enough to climb it should be considered criminals if caught for any reason then spend some time in jail before getting shipped back to Mexico (their actually country).

I laugh when I see the Mexicans at riots with "not my president" signs, you are right your president is Enrique Peña Nieto! Hehe

That statement you are making is an alternative fact, and you should know better LOL!
