1. Iran and North Korea have both survived as countries with racists and mentally ill leaders. We probably can too.

2. Trump has changed his mind on almost everything during the election and his policies are generalities. Who knows what will actually happen? Probably not as much as you think.

3. At least the GOP can no longer claim to be the party of family values. Just trying to explain to my son why being a bully and racist is now acceptable to almost half of Americans. If somebody can give me some advise on this I'd appreciate it.

4. At least the Fed should be able to limit the damage Trump can do to the dollar (I hope).

5. In the event I'm wrong about #4, I'm in escrow to buy a house with cash. I'd rather have a million dollars in real estate than in cash at the moment in the event that the entire economy does crash.

I'm just hoping that Obama is smart enough to give Trump a fake set of nuclear codes.

The Fed is run by elite bankers who are more than prepared to ride out economic chaos. They won't be hurt by the eventual economic chaos that will come from our insane debt levels and monetary policies. They may be inspired by these political changes to let it happen and show who really runs things. In that event, the bubble of housing values will drop drastically, but if you own it and can continue to pay the taxes, at least you'll have a roof over your head.

You could also be inspired and think Trump ran a couple of brilliant campaigns and he just might produce the recovery he campaigned on. America is a great country and Trump as president might just be able to give it a jolt and get it back in line.

Any shuffle Trump makes is going to open new possibilities to start businesses and so one really has to state alert.

Apparently not.
First they must craft it to a hate statement.

It is sad.
Most of the liberals i know are quite rational and do not spew the garbage of their corrupt liberal media and elite "leaders".
Then there are the others.

The bright sight is he will quit in a fit of petulance when he realizes being president isn't the same as being king or dictator or emperor. He'll realize his buddy Putin has complete power whereas he doesn't. That'll bite. And he'll have to surrender control of his pathetic little Trump TV empire to someone else. Tiffany Trump in charge of his purse strings? He's not going to be happy. He won; he doesn't really want the rest.

Not even close.
Hillary Clinton needed celebrities and the cocaine Hollywood types just to get people to her rallies.
Donald Trump got it done is beholden to no one but the American People.

The left preaches tolerance. The left also believes in defending bigotry and hatred. They can both exist at the same time.

"Tolerance" is the liberal social line the liberals spew when they have no ideas or solutions.
Yelling tolerance solves nothing.
Ask the families of the over 618 black people murdered this year to date in the Democrat's killing fields of Chicago.

Muleman has a serious problem determining causality, and he may have dementia, because he thinks everyone is his son. Seriously, stop calling people your "son"; it invalidates whatever little validity your false absolutisms carry.

And "tolerance" isn't a liberal "thing". Tolerance is a big chunk of the in the First Amendment of the US Constitution genius. Stop thinking red v blue for a change. Life is more complex than that.

There's an old saying v. The right doesn't tolerate opposing viewpoints. The left embraces them; until they find out that they actually exist!!!!

To preaching tolerance you must first practice tolerance.

My darling daughter, do you have any empirical evidence of this?

Seriously, the world isn't separated by liberals/conservatives. But if you choose to continue to label things in black and white as you arbitrarily choose, we will continue to tolerate you.

Not really, I've said several times here that the election results are in, but understanding them is important for everyone. Don't get so sensitive when people call you out for substituting your own anecdotal feelings for facts and legitimate statistics. Obtuse "Me v. Them" attitudes such as your own is what widens the gap. You are the flip side of the progressive liberal blow-hard, which means you are part of the problem.

Oh, and I don't really facebook much. But I do I like hearing other peoples' opinions. I wish you had some.

You are all for free speech and hearing other people's opinions as long as they agree with your opinion.

What was it the left said about tolerance?
Pretty much the same thing. Agree with me or STFU.
Not a chance.

One of the primary reasons the liberals took such a beating in the election is that they refuse to listen to the people and look down on the working class.
Well, those people just took y'all down to the Whipping Post.

So tolerance includes tolerating people who want to take people's rights away? If you speak bad of the KKK then you aren't tolerant of other people's viewpoints? That makes sense. If that's the case, maybe I'm not tolerant. Maybe you would like to come up with a better term for people who think everyone should have equal rights regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, etc if you don't think tolerance fits.

Outside of Obama and the far-left who are the people you say want to take people's rights away?

A better term?
Americans
