In normal countries like Australia, there's a law preventing convicted criminals from running for parliament. He wouldn't have had a chance.

Even Nixon resigned! Nixon!

In germany one politician - that actually was doing great - stepped down because it came out that he didn´t write his Doctor stuff but someone else. He had actually the chance to become Chancellor

Yep. Huuuuuuuuge congratulations on your new dictatorship

How much damage will he do, not just in America but the world, in four years

Manana man - I'm keeping tabs on this, I'll see you back in four years (if I remember and don't get jailed by the Christofascists who will now control the government)

You will eat those words.

Already there has been a ruling against giving spouses of citizens a path to citizenship (one of the people the news interviewed had been here since she was 3 and has a masters degree) and a judge in TX just declared IL’s ban on assault guns unconstitutional. Yay!

Not American but why do Republicans seem to always resort to the name calling. I here this on the school yard and ot really does just smack of an immature lack of intelligence. I also suspect you may be misogynistic- you may want to ask your mammy what that means 😉

With all the pardoning of criminals he will be doing including himself I think you will see who is 'soft on crime'

um, what? fake? have you *read* the indictments? it's very well-documented. by the way: I don't know what's worse for you, if he holds power for longer or not. If he holds power for longer, your loved ones and their family members will grow up idolizing you, and the United States will lose what has made it great - smart people, immigrants, their children, anyone slightly outside of the norm. It'll be an old relic, notable only for the number of nuclear weapons it has, that everyone seeks to escape. (More effective than building a wall, I suppose.) And if Trump/Republicans lose power earlier? You'll be remembered as the people who tried their damndest to destroy us. If you have children, your descendants will be ashamed they have you as an ancestor. Your names will become insults and synonymous with treason and treachery. Oh, and when your best friend's daughter is bleeding to death because the doctors can't give her an abortion after she was raped and the bread isn't cheaper because of tariffs - you voted based on getting the (nonexistent) gangs out. I hope you enjoy the next four years, because I sure as hell won't.

I hate this country. I am no longer American by choice--only as an accident of birth.

I am so surprised how many women voted for him. They should have stressed it’s not just abortion rights, it’s reproductive rights and privacy from what you do with your body. If men had to go through with half of what we do..ah, republican Ken are too busy and chicken shlt to go with their partners to the gross stuff.
