The US Supreme Court will now be conservative for decades to come. What a beautiful day it is.

I mean at least they're independently wealthy; that's a start.
I think it's on the travel channel. After all, most of them are moving.
False. If you want to get into the game theory of politics and global power projection I'm down. the fundamental problem with Russia and its constitution is that power is so concentrated with the president that he can do things unchecked. We need to limit Russia's power, not increase it.
That is the hope, but there is a real possibility with an aging Supreme Court, and in all likely hood Trump only serving one term, that we will be fighting to keep it conservative again in 4 years.
Hope that the parties are not dumb enough to not change. We can't have this nonsense any more. We need a real choice for president next time
And you confirm you have as much geopolitical knowledge as Gary Johnson, I guess. Thanks for Correcting the Record™
great point . . . btw, the Kennedy family dynasty and 100 years worth of prohibition-spawned riches, corruption, murder and political prowess says "hi"
Ooooh! How infuriating is it to hear on CNN that Mexicans are upset with US politics b/c they are worried their newfound, stolen economy due to NAFTA is now in danger b/c the new Prez wants HIS economy back! Dammit, boy, that REALLY gets my goat.
The liberals are aging too. Trump has a chance to name 3 or 4 if everything falls into place. A new dawn of conservative legal thought is within reach on the Court.
What if Trump got some ideas from the Podesta emails talking about the Scalia "wet work" and he just replaces the entire SCOTUS?
Took a 3 hour nap and had to be up at 6am because I had 3 projects all needing small amounts of material and I'm just now getting around to checking out the aftermath.
So this may be long winded but it's serious and from the heart.......
1- Our media is as awful as it can be and if people didn't realize that I don't think he would have won last night. Wake up call to everyone not just the left wing biased idiots out there.
2- White people didn't win shit last night. The same voice that needed to be heard by those that elected Obama still needs to be heard. America is sick of the political game. It isn't race, gender or religion that separates us as people it's politics that divide those who are different. Stop playing those games!
3- A lot of bad is about to happen for the next 6 months. As a matter of fact we may come unhinged for awhile before righting the ship. But in order to overcome corruption you have to be willing to take that hit at some point and America decided now is the time. This will not be pretty at first so don't expect your joyous celebration to last.
4- Do not think the fight is over. If you want America to be America the fight just started.
5- All jokes aside for the lefty's in this thread.......most here seem like good dudes and I'm glad we all witnessed this together. I don't talk a lot of politics in my day to day life and this gives me a platform to do so. Thanks for that.
God Bless America

They got KO's because of that same reason. You are right, they just don't get it.
Obama realizes his 8 years in office were a total waste this morning. All his ridiculous executive orders will be repealed and Obamacare is dead in the water. His legacy will be one of total failure and he will go down as one of worst presidents. Deservedly so.I hope you're right. I just like to plan for the worst and hope for the best.![[winking]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/wink.r191677.gif "Winking [winking]")
Good gosh. Michael Moore said this would happen. He was right.
People keep saying this, but you really think this? Trump has identified as a democrat most of his life.
Not demeaning, asking why you think this.
Remember when Obama said not voting Trump is an insult to his legacy? I'm not fan of Trump but I hope Obama feels insulted.
Republicans hold the House and the Senate that's why.
That's a good point.
If he are a true Democrat that's not a problem, because his pick will be middle of the road to slightly conservative. If he is the new democrat (progressive/liberal/socialist), then all who voted for him got played.
like how pissed off? like so pissed off that they will . . . what? just music to my ears
The list of judges he proposed. And with the house and senate being GOP controlled, conservative judge appointments are assured. The true scope of this will be revealed if he can turn the Federal lower court judgeships conservative. If so, liberalism will be an afterthought as far as the judiciary is concerned.
Trump doesn't want to committ political suicide right off the bat. Regardless his nominees will definitely be to the right of Hillary's.
Why on this green earth does anyone think he'd bite the hand that just handed him the highest job on the planet? Same people that can toss him (angrily) in 4 years?
If Obama likes his current executive orders, he should keep them
If you go by his list (which, yeah, trusting him to follow that list is a leap) there were some pretty good originalists on there. Probably end up with a squishy ass deferential dweeb like Roberts, which can be just as bad as an outright leftist in some respects.
Don Willett and Mike Lee are the two and only two he should nominate (assuming Ginsburg kicks the bucket soon). I doubt that happens, though
The good news is Barak will have to sit by fuming as Trump repeals them all. January will long be remembered as the month the national liberal agenda was destroyed.
No, you took what I said wrong. If you look at the parties from 10 years ago or more, then he would be considered a democrat based on a lot of his views. He has never been an ultra-conservative, and most acknowledge that. Granted that both parties are much different today than what they were 10+ years ago, thus making him appear more conservative than he really is.
Make no mistake, I don't think he is a liberal pretending to be a conservative, but I do think he is more of a Reagan Democrat than he is a Bush Republican...and I could very well be wrong.
Wouldn't she have to be indicted first? I can honestly see her running to another country and being a turn-coat.
Re: Conservatism is dead.
People who are saying this and that old bastard George Will need to STFU. This is my problem with Rand Paul too. This utopian conservative world with free trade and free movement of people is nonsense, because conservative principles go out the window when a) you lose your job and b) people who come here via immigration want big government.
Donald Trump did more for conservatism than any man since Barry Goldwater. He killed a liberal judiciary. He killed the Clinton machine. He prevented the slow 3rd world takeover of our country.

Something I've not seen discussed: this has to mean trouble for kasich. He was outspoken against trump, yet trump won't his state resoundingly.
May be looking at a serious primary challenge. Hope so. Good riddance

This is the discussion I can't wait to see play out. I think he no. He's king of the Democratic Party for decades if he doesn't. Hillary doesn't even need to go to jail just the investigation and potentially answer questions about it.
Talk about his legacy going down the drain. Remember what happened to Gerald Ford the next election after he pardoned Nixon. That was the one thing Ford is remembered for.
It really isn't just a matter of pardoning Clinton. He needs to pardon everyone who's ever known and worked with Clinton.
That's a tall order.
I'd be pretty pissed if Clinton got pardoned and I was left to answer for her crimes. I'd sing like a goddam bird to everyone who would listen.

Hillary had a concession speech prepared, but was too upset to give it. I think that proves that she is not mentally capable of running anything more than a charade, and she needs many people to help her with that.
Tell us all you know about the great Russian military........I'll hang up and listen
She'll be dead before Jan 1st anyway
