ANTI TRUMPSTERS AT THE NYC TRAIN STATION
rattdog
New York
starting sometime last week i noticed a bunch of office stickies hanging on a big wall in the union square subway station in nyc. not just a whole bunch. i must have seen like 100's, if not maybe even approaching 1000 stickies. each one was anti-trump.
several days later it might have posted over a 1000 stickies. you had people taking pics of the wall.
this dude passes by, sees the crowd stopping in front of the wall, and utter,"nothing but a bunch of fucking crybabies." laughed my fucking ass off.
anybody here have any public anti-trump shrines in your neck of the woods?

That's because never before has a tainted press corps worked so hard so hard to vilify a Presidential candidate. They bootstrapped random comments and moments over 40+ years to paint him as everything from a fascist to a racist to a woman hater and as just about anything else they could think of.
The reality is that he is none of these things and really doesn't give a crap about most social issues. But weak minded types, heavy on hormones and light on critical thought, lapped that nonsense up because it felt good emotionally. So when he actually won, those same weak minded emotional types, especially the urban variety, lost all those warm fuzzy good feelings that they got from the group thin brigade and some of them just couldn't cope.
You two guys need to shut the fuck up you don't know what you are talking about. I have no problem with anyone who voted no matter whom they voted for, and i have no reason to doubt anybody's patriotism but you jerks are way over the line constantly criticizing any body that disagrees with you, make no mistake about it, in your own way you are no better than our crazy poster SJG even though you think that you are.
I have a suggestion for both of you, why don't you guys find out if personality transplants are available and start saving your strip club money till you have enough money to get that it would benefit both of you and anyone you are in contact with
Good point! "I have never seen the public outcry for any president elect that Trump is getting now. I can't say I blame them."
I don't blame them either, completely. You see, If one indoctrinates people to believe lies and smears, that is the ostrich media. OK, I grant you it doesn't take a Rhodes scholar to educate themselves, but way to many just accept whatever is thrown at them.
Take a listen to this Michael Moore video. Especially at the 3:19 mark.

Of course, he's not going to follow through on it...he needs the support of congress and the senate and it would be bad politics to throw them out of a job in the years to come.
But if you don't like others disagreeing with you, I hear that there will soon be a safe space for over-sensitive types who share your views:

@Dugan- could you try to be a little objective? Why is it that some righties always blame the "liberal" media for everything? Trump bullied Megyn Kelly, twelve women (so far) have come out and said he sexual assaulted them, he's caught on tape saying girls let famous people grab them by the pussy, he allegedly paid off a couple of his ex wives not to say anything about him abusing them, and countless other things. Did the media make all this woman hating stuff Rick??? SMH. Wake up Rick. This is DONALD TRUMP we're talking about. All he is a celebrity attention seeking whore just like the Kardashians and Kanye West.
But you also know that the press antics went quite far beyond reporting the sexual stuff. They tried to paint him as an anti-Semite, even as his own daughter and grandkids are jewish, as against LGBT rights, even after he made it clear that he didn't care who used the bathrooms in Trump tower, as a racist, based almost solely on rental practices dating back 40+ years, etc.,etc.
Twenty, I hear that the Bubble will be a "safe space" where everyone can say whatever they want, so long as it is the group think view, and will be safe from "bullying" responses from people who might disagree. ;)
But with that said, the horribly sensationalized, hyperbolic and all too often unsupported reporting during this campaign from almost every media outlet, including CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, Yahoo, NYT, L.A. Times, etc., etc., was just utterly incredible. if you believed their stories, we were going to quickly become Nazi Germany, our economy was going to tank, the stock market would collapse, the civil rights laws would be repealed, armies of ICE agents were going to kick in the doors of immigrant familiaes, etc., etc.. Almost every news article became an op-ed piece.
Small wonder that Trump is being more proactive in his approach to the media. There was a time when they could be relied upon to provide at least some balance in their reporting. There was also a time when they could be counted on to report the news rather than to manufacture and/or heavily spin it. But those days, it would appear, are long gone. If and when the media once again decides to resume its proper place as the Fourth Estate, then perhaps someone like Trump would not feel the need to communicate around them directly to the public.
Come at me with something that makes sense, stop with stupid platitudes like "safe space" or "group think" show me something positive about your guy instead of criticizing everything else then maybe we might get some where.
+1 on that and I really wish it were otherwise. I just hope he does what he said he would do, or at least makes every effort. I will feel betrayed if he wastes this rare historical moment in which Republicans control both chambers of Congress. In my humble opinion G.W. utterly squandered the same opportunity to address deeply entrenched domestic issues. Time will tell.
1. If any public figured supported trump (just like larry stated above)... they would get attacked and why is it headlines if a sports figure says they like Trump??? BIG FUCKING DEAL. Yet it was headlines and people would get blasted. ALL THE MEDIA"S FAULT.
2. When people said anything bad about Obama.... They were called RACIST. When in fact it was just you speaking up against policy. You were still called RACIST. Also the media would throw the words "race" and "black vs white", etc into anything when anyone spoke up against Obama. You see... MEDIA is playing a roll.
Again... the sky isn't falling. The world and our country isn't going to come to an end. The man hasn't even taken office yet and people are going insane. He hasn't even produced one piece of legislation, hasn't submitted one budget or tax plan, etc. He has done nothing at all. Everyone is going off of what he said on the election circuit. If people have an ability to free think and study history.... they know what is said on the campaign trail only about 10% will be acted upon.
I mean come on our health care industry was supposed to be fixed by now, insurance premiums decreasing, the exchanges would run themselves and not need assistance, all states would have great exchanges with no glitches and many insurance companies would be doing business in all states, you could keep your current coverage and keep your current doctors, etc. Remember all that garbage.... all LIES!!!
So again.... I understand the frustration when one establishment didn't win and you get the other side..... But this country isn't an US vs THEM.... we are a whole. People need to work together... libs and conservatives need to come together and move our country forward. The past 20 years we went backwards. Everyone has thought it is an US vs Them type mentality.
It is the same thing..... yet one side was called racist when they brought up things.
It is that the libs are butt hurt over this and the only thing they are doing is bitching and moaning. It is the generation that can't handle losing. They are the everyone gets a trophy generation. They are the generation that throws tantrums to get their way. If you don't think so.... look at it with open eyes.
Again I never stated how I voted. But I am seeing poor losers out there whinning and crying.
Larry and others.... if you know how our government works you know for a fact that the president of the USA has to jump through a lot of hoops to get things done. Most of the stuff Trump wants to do can't be done by executive orders. They have to go thru congress. You think congress will jump in line with him.... look at all the people who were not "endorsing" him. YOU think they will say... .Oh hell ya President Trump lets do what ever you want.
Fuck..... relax and just wait to see what happens. I am sick and tired of all the whinning and the rhetoric that the sky is falling.... for everyone... celebs, people on forums, people on streets, new media, etc.
ps- there was plenty to know about Trump before he ran for president. Some of us knew how to research a fairly prominent public figure before the ''Election Edition" media began...
When one looks at the percentage change in the midwest versus President Obama in 2008 and 2012 it is pretty striking the Rust Belt, for those who couldn't or wouldn't relocate, is hurting. We need solutions or a modification of the conservative ethos that works for those left behind in the 21st century economy.
Those left behind DO NOT believe in the republican ethos RE: women, LGBT, womens' reproductive rights ... but we need an economy that works for regular people (Not the welfare crowd but not the affluent crowd, either). Hence, the open mind.
