#1 They fought and they won.

But only the first battle of the campaign.

#2 Yup, that is correct g(r)omgoru. We dodged a bullet in this revolution.

#3 No, you bought time. The Empire will strike back. They don't comprehend the price in lives and blood they will force everyone to pay. Like any addict, they're only in it for the high, aka power.

#4 This was a start, but it is far from over. There are already people on the other side calling for violence and death for the Trump supporters.

Keep that ammo handy. You are gonna need it.

#5 Yea, but Darth, imagine all the happy cops who no longer have to look the other way while these people riot.

#7 We dodged a bullet in this revolution.
Posted by: JohnQC 2016-11-10 08:07 I don't think we dodged a bullet...I think we gained fire superiority and imposed our will for our future. Now that we have the high ground we have to maintain the offensive and stampede them. We have the executive branch, the legislative, and maybe we will run the libs outta the Supreme Court.

#8 To hell with this talk of 'change' - how about improvement?

#9 Tennessee, it's the Federal bureaucracy what runs the country.

#10 We bought time with Reagan and as soon as he was out of office they struck back. We've just bought some more with Trump but of course they will strike back again after he's gone. They always do.

#11 #9 Tennessee, it's the Federal bureaucracy what runs the country. Posted by g(r)omgoru Yes sir, the liberal version. I hope Trump eliminates the Federal Agencies and Bureaucracies that have no authority under our Constitution - any function/power not specifically granted to the Feds within that document should be returned to the States. Stampeding = decentralization.

#12 Good luck, and I'm not being facetious, Tennessee. I'm just not very optimistic. I mean, short of bringing back the spoils system (h/t Jerry Pournelle), what can you do?

#13 "They don't ~~comprehend~~ care about the price in lives and blood they will force everyone to pay."

FIFY

#14 #12 Good luck, and I'm not being facetious, Tennessee. I'm just not very optimistic. I mean, short of bringing back the spoils system (h/t Jerry Pournelle), what can you do? Posted by g(r)omgoru We propose a reverse of the "patronage" system. We are hoping that this businessman will come in and have the guts to eliminate what he can on the Executive side and lead Congress to defund and eliminate others (our Department of Education is a good example). Trump's patronage should be to "the people" not a person or group. We know better at the state and local side what we need...not big government.

#15 Grom - like you said earlier - a businessman brave enough to come in and declare bankruptcy on a few of these Agencies...admit that we go it wrong - eliminate their drain on the debt and return these functions to the states.

#16 .....eliminate their drain on the debt and return these functions to the states.

1. Department of Education
2. Department of Agriculture
~~3. Department of Housing & Urban Development~~
~~4. Department of Homeland Security~~

Simply delete numbers 3 and 4 and transfer employees elsewhere.

#17 Since you can't fire public employees we should create a new department of Antarctica study and transfer folks there. If they don't like it they can quit.

#18 NOTE: December 19 the electoral college meets to formally cast the votes representative of the election. The DNC is now working overtime to get the reps to change their votes and MSM is pushing it as well.

#21 I like this. Expand the Dept of the Interior, but only in climate studies, posts only servable in the Antarctic (it is warming, right? Then the problem will solve itself.)
Move 95% of the EPA, Dept of Ed, Dept of Ag, HS, HUD, etc, to this new sub-department.
And wait.
Make sure all the burrowers who skipped the required reviews participate.

#22 Incidentally, apparently a disproportionate number of federal employees are overdue to pay their income tax. In these troibled times, with so many calls on the public purse, that really won't do. Setting a good example and all that, donchaknow.

#23 a disproportionate number of federal employees are overdue to pay their income tax.

Tsk, tsk. One way for Donald to look Presidential would be to insist everyone pay their fair share. Who could disagree with that?
