So far so good. Seems like world leaders are eager to meet him

Didn't Merkel say she'd drop him like a wet rag as soon as he went racist?

[Luminesa]

Because he took down any mention of pro-life stuff on his website and has never cared for the pro-life debate except to win the Evangelicals and various pro-life organizations. This much I know is true. I know he's a con. I've never trusted him. But this much I know. He does not give two cares about the abortion debate, about homosexuality, about trans people, etc.

By electing pro-life justices, though, he will be able to move. He's pro-life, dont worry

If he doesn't care, I even doubt he's going to do that.

[Lady Scylla]

Well. I've lost another friend because of this election. Apparently I should be shot for not voting Trump.

[Luminesa]

By electing pro-life justices, though, he will be able to move. He's pro-life, dont worry

I'm not sure I'd say he is pro-life. Nor that his justices will hold pro-life positions.

We'll have to see what he's got in hand. I would be surprised though if he re-nominates Garland.

He'll probably pick someone like Kennedy. That would make sense.

[Luminesa]

I think we have all lost friends to this election. I'm sorry.

[Washington Resistance Army]

I somehow haven't.

He either has someone tapped from corporate sector, or he's using a Pence shortlist. Either would explain why he didn't publicize a nomination during the campaign.

[Gauthier]

Still socially liberal. He's not pro-life. He's not going to move Roe v. Wade.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS. O.O

So, you know he's not going to move Roe v. Wade, but you've been saying for months that you don't know what he'll do.

Run by me how that works.

"He won't fuck US over like his employees and contractors!"

[Spirit of Hope]

Well. I've lost another friend because of this election. Apparently I should be shot for not voting Trump.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've had some relationships strained because I voted third party. It isn't fun when people can't seperate polotics from friendship.

I think we have all lost friends to this election. I'm sorry.

I somehow haven't.

Lucky.

I would be more likely to believe the first one.

If he's a con, if we don't know what he'll do, then surely it doesn't matter what he gives two cares about(is that really a thing people say?), he'll do whatever he thinks will further his con. In fact, if he doesn't care about abortion, doesn't that make it more likely that he'll ban abortion if he thinks it'll get him a second term or whatever?

[Hittanryan]

So that's how they react when they thought you were politically incorrect?

Lucky.

I feel a lot better now about voting third-party than I did when I voted two weeks ago.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Lucky.

It probably helps that pretty much everyone I know hates Hillary so they didn't much care when I voted for someone other than her.

He doesn't have to now. He's in office, he can basically do what he wants. The worst that can happen to him is he disagrees with his party and that jams everything. He could do what you described, but again, I don't think he cares enough about that issue. He only really brought it up in the first place because he was asked, and even then he gave mainly no-answers. I don't see him doing very much at least in this issue. I don't know about most anything else.

Oh dear. I'm sorry.

[Spirit of Hope]

Lucky.

It probably doesn't help that most of the people I know were pro Hilary. A good chunk of them have made third party voters the scapegoat in this election.

Good, people shouldn't feel bad about how they voted.

[The Portland Territory]

I haven't lost any friends, but rather I have made new enemies. And not just here

Also, my condolences Scylia. These things shouldn't of had to happen

Yeah, I'm getting really tired of that shit really fast.

I actually only added one person to my foe list here over the election, I'm still kinda shocked by that.

But yeah it does suck people are losing friends over this.

It would be a genius move and would reassure millions.

Most everybody I know has been pretty much like "So yeah... THAT happened."

[Lady Scylla]

That's the problem. First one completely cut ties with me after telling me I was what was wrong with my country (She's Canadian). And now this one (American.)

You may have a lot of new enemies. I'm not one of them.

I respect Trump supporters. I just hope you guys don't get too disappointed.

I was just thinking not too long ago, and I cannot shake the feeling, and I hope I am wrong, that Trump might end up in the middle of a assassination attempt either from someone in the far left, or the far right.

Again, I hope I am wrong, but I don't put it past. He's won a divisive election, and further, I know he won't keep many of his promises on the campaign trail, so the right will be justifiably pissed, while Pence is a relative nobody who conforms better to the right's agenda.

[The East Marches]

Well. I've lost another friend because of this election. Apparently I should be shot for not voting Trump.

Are you sure they were your friend in the first place?

[Washington Resistance Army]

I haven't lost any friends.

Man I think we were all like that.

People try to kill every president. It would be more shocking if someone didn't try to kill him.
