The elections are over you say? Stop being bitter, you say? We need to work together, you say? Fuck you and fuck everyone who said there was no difference between Clinton and Trump. Here is a running list of things that have happened that Clinton most certainly would not have done.
1.) agitated for or signed this fucking tax monstrosity
2.) signed anything allowing drilling in ANWR
3.) Appointed Neil Gorsuch
4.) appointed Jeff Sessions
5.) jammed the judiciary with wingnuts appointed to lifetime positions
6.) shrunk our national monuments
7.) moved our embassy to Jerusalem
8.) gutted the State department
Consider this an open project. Submit only things Trump has done in the comments with a respective url. We’ll move this to the side bar to club morons with in the future when they start this lesser of two evils crap in 2019.
And don’t fuck up this comments section with your idle chatter.

There are 2 quotes I remember from before the election that have stuck with me almost word for word.
From NPR, interviewing a Republican campaign chair in Florida:
“I would vote for Satan himself over Hillary Clinton, if Satan would repeal Obamacare and pass tax-cuts.”
From a Sanders supporter on a blog somewhere:
“Give me one good reason to vote for Hillary Clinton over Trump, that doesn’t involve the Supreme Court pick.”
Both of those groups of people are why we live in the world we live in.

@Paul W.: TPP was as much about containing China as it was trade. If there were problems they could have been renegotiated. As to NAFTA, I read somewhere that the price of including Mexico and Canada in TPP was renegotiating some of the issues that had come up with the treaty over the years. The three countries succeeded in coming to an agreement, contingent on the US staying in TPP.
Now just the mention of these trade deals gives me a migraine but whatever their weaknesses, it is better that we stay in. Or at the worst get something for pulling out. But the great negotiator just walks away from them and gains nothing in return.
