Trump expects to be a part-time President.
Quote
According to a report by Maggie Haberman and Ashley Parker, Trump “is talking with his advisers about how many nights a week he will spend in the White House. He has told them he would like to do what he is used to, which is spending time in New York when he can.” The idea, apparently, is that Trump “might spend most of the week in Washington, much like members of Congress, and return to Trump Tower or his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., or his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach on weekends.” I don’t know about you, but I missed the bit in Trump’s speeches where he promised to the turn the Presidency into a part-time commuter job.

that kind of talk enraged conservatives when Pres Obama took a vacation .... apparently when a Republican does it, there is no probem

i am inured to this kind of hypocrisy from conservatives

without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

I guess the internment camps were sorta okay, because we need new ones now for the Muzzie terra-ists.
One of our Navy SEALS just said so. Apparently he heads up Great America PAC, which earned him a spot on Fox News:

Say there Carl, your profile picture fascinates me!
Those slitty eyes of yours....you almost look like YOU might have "some Jap" in you.
You SURE you ain't part Jap, BOY???
I think you might BE part Jap...let's ship you off to those camps just in case.

NOTE: The above is SARCASM...

Another prediction for America in the Age of Trump:
Armed liberals.

With the recent spike in hate crimes against:

Blacks
Hispanics
Gay people
Trans people
Jews
Muslims
Liberals

or anyone who does not appear to be pro-Trump, I am expecting to see a jump in gun ownership, not on the right, but on the liberal side.
I am going on record as saying, "if you can't beat em, join em."

But then again I've always been okay with the 2A and I never have any problems with background checks, so I am perfectly okay with those, too.

I've had my arsenal since I was a kid. I'm also a better shot than 99.6% of righties. However, I was taught from the beginning that you never point a gun, even unloaded, at another person.

Unless you intend to kill them, of course. Just make sure you explain to the police that you feared for your life, and that should make everything fine.

I'm a pretty good shot with a healthy respect for guns and gun owners. I have very strong (and well-informed) views on the second amendment. Of course, that has little to do with gun rights or gun control...

Not advocating everyone go out on a shooting spree, just be aware of the fact that it has been getting VERY UGLY VERY FAST out there.
If you do not feel comfortable being armed, then have some kind of game plan ready that you can work with at a moment's notice.

Reputable outfits report a dramatic spike in people just popping off and losing it for the slightest or most innocuous reason. We're not talking about simple stuff on Facebook, we're talking SPLC and the like.

And yes, most of it centers around Trump.

There are very strict carry laws in NYC. Almost impossible to walk about armed (legally). But those of us who own firearms have long known that self-protection is the only reason to have a gun. I have military training so I can use a weapon, but my first line of defense is my pet Cheetah, Marcianna (as in Ulpia, the sister of the Roman Emperor Trajan), she doesn't like strangers at all. coffee
