Support NeoGAF

[UltimaPooh]

Awwww i missed most of the 60 minutes interview. Was looking forward to it!

Pretty puffy.

He pretty much reiterated his positions. They are going to build a wall and maybe not push all the illegals out right away. Try to keep ACA but just the good parts.

They tried to call him on a few things and he was pretty much Donald who didn't have an answer to anything except for how awesome it was to win.

 

[Pagusas]

I'm trying to picture the last president that was as out of shape as Donald. He's not as fat as Taft, but Taft also looked like he could pull a tree out of the ground. Donald is just pure lard.

Gerald Ford look pretty bad by the time he left office.

We elected an Internet troll that tweets sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds.

It's weird because it seems relatively recent. Young Donald was never skinny but he wasn't... this, haha

But his doctor said he's in amazing shape.

 

[mattiewheels]

How surreal is it that I can now probably buy a bumper sticker that says "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Clinton". It's like a time travel movie gag, in an era where BttF2 predicted a lot this year.

Eh do you know a lot of 70 year olds with energy like Trump? I think he looks 10 year younger than he is.

He both somehow looks terrible, and yet younger than his age.

I don't get it

Now that Trump has been elected, is it okay to express opinions against Hillary or we still get banned for that?

 

[A Link to the Past]

Oh yea, forgot about the part with the world coming to an end really soon now.

I assume you're being sarcastic, in which case does this mean that you don't care because you won't be around to deal with the fallout of climate change?

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Now that Trump has been elected, is it okay to express opinions against Hillary or we still get banned for that?

I'd imagine it will depend on whether your opinion is along the lines of "she wasn't a great candidate/campaign was poorly directed/her handling of her loss was bad/I hope that's the last we see of the Clintons now" etc. or more like "Ha! Trumped the Bitch!/Lock her up/Killary got what she deserved!"

The former has clearly been fine throughout the campaign and there's been plenty of recrimination here post-election that has been fairly tough on her and her campaign without attracting the banhammer.

The board is still pretty left-leaning (or at least leans away from the right and Trump) so there is clearly more tolerance for anti-Trump stuff than in other places but I've seen plenty of right-leaning posters here get on fine, provided they're not hit and run, posting conspiracy rubbish or being shitty. Yes, it's maybe galling seeing posters sailing through calling Trump a cunt where the same the other way around might see your time here cut short, but that's the nature of the beast.

The German foreign minister and a very vocal Trump critic Steinmeier is set to become the next President. Now, the German President isn't as powerful as the Chancellor but it's still an important role, especially in these times.

He's also someone who wants de-escalation with Russia.

I probably wouldn't start off with snark like that, personally.

 

[Alienfan]

People are taking the piss out of the protesters in New Zealand, I guess they don't seem to understand the world wide effects of a Trump presidency or that these protests are about sending a message to our own government, a real shame, but then again we're just a country full of sheep. Our government congratulated him within minutes of his win, leading by great example there

We're now in an era where talking shit about Hillary will actually get you brownie points on the left.

 

[greycolumbus]

This 60 Minutes interview is insane. Did he say he wants a popular vote after winning the electoral vote?

"When are you gonna release the receipts, yo?"
"lol routine audit no one cares lmfao"

What the fuck.

This is crazy. He's still talking like he's on the campaign trail and to be honest he's still being interviewed as such as well. I still don't know what this guy's deal is.

This is a speech ny Ta-Nahisi Coates about Trump and current situation in America.

Amazing speech.

NeoGAF was, for me, the only place on the net I go to where she wasn't piled on on a continually irrational basis. And that is gone now. Yeah, I get it, she sucks. But I swear the left eats its own for breakfast, and it takes joy in it... that's the single difference between Republicans and Democrats. They will hold their nose. They will vote. They will do what they have to do when it counts. And the Republicans have become extremely versed at exploiting that.

There was a video released by a guy (probably quite heavily edited) that showed him holding a pro-Trump sign at the DNC and a pro-Hillary sign at the RNC. He was trashed at the DNC and was treated kindly at the RNC.

The most notable thing about when he went to the DNC and there were thousands of Bernie or Buster people out there, young people, the kind of people who are protesting Trump right now. And it just struck me as ironic as fuck.

The inability to unify behind our candidate, with all the flaws, is something that screws Democrats, time and time again. We need to have some magical inspiring canidate like Obama (who history has shown was a very bi-partisan, very ineffective President). All because he could give a damn fine speech.

If there's anything to learn by this loss it's that we gotta get our shit together and support our candidates. And I really don't see us doing that.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Seeing the UK media and our politicians falling over themselves today to embrace Trump is depressing.

Remember Joey Salads?

Well if the illegals weren't here and able to vote for her (which is ridiculous that you don't have to show proof of US citizenship in all states to vote)

...he would've had an even bigger edge in the popular vote.

Ehh..not like it made the difference or will matter going forward.

Yeah I saw a post on Facebook that not only are illegal aliens voting in the election, but actual space aliens too.

It's crazy to me that they don't make you take a blood test before voting. Also what's the deal with people who don't even own property being allowed to vote?

I'm sure we'll be taking drug tests before voting once Rick Scott has his way.

can Trump actually get term limit restrictions passed? Bernie Sanders will be packing home if that's the case..

All that needs to be said right here. Too bad it won't get through.

[DieNgamers]

What if the dangerous people are those around Trump instead of the Donald himself?

Even if he turns out to a more decent human being than everybody expected (It's possible, eh?) I guess his inexperience could be exploitet by his cabinet people/"advisors", right?

This is what people have been saying even before the Election. Trump is wretched person for a laundry list of reasons, but his VP and Cabinet are going to be the real threat that his administration holds. Mike Pence is essentially going to be the POTUS for at least the next 4 years and that scares the shit out of me.

You might want to consider switching news sources since I am not from the US and even know that is incorrect. Hell, many people are arguing that voting rights are too strict (often to the disadvantage of minorities).

Voting ID laws are different in each state actually and the Democrat party has fought against having proper ID every step of the way, even though all polls tell us the public supports it by a wide margin.

Yes and it should be provided as a basic service, not a paid item like it is. The biggest issue with IDs is the availability and negatively targeting minorities.

Democrats will gladly support it when any citizen get ID free of charge.

Until then it's an unconstitutional poll tax.

I hope he doesn't. If you want one sure fire way to introduce more ineptitude and corruption it's introducing term limits.

Sure, however, your info has to be on file with your county. Even as a citizen I can't go to the county over and vote, ID or no.

Think of it like reserving a table at a resteraunt. You tell them your info and they verify from a list, but if your name ain't on the list tough luck. Voting's similar.

And yeah, it wouldn't be terrible if the IDs were free and the places to get them were plentiful unlike now. As it is now to register someone to vote's as easy as filling out a form and dropping it off in the mail, you could register to register people who can't leave their house, for example, and many States will let you vote by mail again convenient for those who can't make it out to the polls. VID laws make all of that harder, I can get authorized to register people to vote but I can't get authorized to get them a State ID or Driver's License. All those laws are just made to keep people from voting.

The issue here is that this is one of those partisan debates wherein one side has clearly staked out a better image in terms of branding. Republicans in general have tended to be very good at this. On cursory inspection, this is one of those kinds of no-nonsense suggestions that seems like an obviously good idea to many people.

The reason for the partisan divide resides in who is affected. Why do you think that Democrats are against it? Because this will prevent them from cheating? I mean, I guess that might seem plausible. But really if it's so easy to do, why wouldn't Republicans just fight fire with fire and cheat themselves?

The answer here is not that one side is more noble than the other. It's that voter fraud is not a thing that is proven to happen at all, let alone in large enough numbers to swing an election. Tougher voter ID laws as they are proposed are a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. But once you delve into who's pushing them and why, you begin to understand that it's a move aimed at depressing turnout among certain demographics. As we've seen in this election, 50 percent of people didn't turn out to vote anyway. Putting up more barriers to entry is only going to discourage voting further.
