hot damn

Republican congressional leaders have confirmed what might seem obvious with Mr. Trump’s triumph: Mr. Obama’s far-reaching trade agreement with 11 Pacific Rim nations is dead.

Did this really happen, are you leaving out some minor details, was it a joke

Walked in on it, guy behind counter looked angry.

My facebook is getting spammed with people posting "happenings" on twitter, but tbh, there hasnt been one video of it captured. They can get their phone out, load up twitter and type out "OMG THIS TRUMP SUPPORTER JUST TOLD A MEXICAN TO GET OUT OF HIS AMERICA", but they couldnt load their camera to record it?

Not that I'm trying to be skeptical, because I'm sure theres people who think like that, but the fact its just a bunch of twitter postings and not one video seems a little like fear mongering to me.

God his potential cabinet is terrifying. He just needs to bring out Rove / Cheney and we'll have a party.

Spoiler: show

If you want the popular vote to win, CNN now projects it'll be Trump when the votes are counted.

I just checked and Hillary has a lead in the popular vote again and they are projecting her to win. We won't know until they reach 100% counted.

It's like this video, can you imagine what the media would have done if just 1 of these instances would have happened at a Trump rally or to a Clinton supporter.

How much of this did you see on TV/Internet Articles?

a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty

I mean did you see the video cj? Posted last night of the black people pulling some whitey out of a car and beating him/carjacking with the caption "found a trump" ?

That's the first video I've seen of anything since Tuesday lol

[Day]

that being said this is on my timeline and I used to live in this house with the 2 ladies that live there. they have an interracial child together in the small hick town I talk about often.

not going to lie I'm actually shocked because most folks there are pretty closeted yet obvious bigots

I honestly don't like to video people, I don't like being taped either. But yes, it's healthy too be skeptical without absolute proof.

While I don't doubt some crying wolf for e-cred, do ask yourself if you could randomly pull your phone out fast enough and record a rapidly delivered insult or two when you're just trying to go about your daily business.

Guess we need to start wearing bodycams, too.

[BerenTebogo]

I've seen some white kids doing blackface shit. It's not violence, but at the very least it shouldn't be happening.

[Day]

even with the vandalisim that I think is fucking disgusting, i haven't seen any violence like what trump supporters got in that video i posted or the one fondon't was talking about

[Zealot]

One of the most racist people I knew growing up is a cop now and insists that most of the racism in the country is against whites.

[Day]

i'd rather someone be racist af than someone violently attacking another person based on their vote

I doubt this rapidly delivered insult just happened and the situation dissipated immediately. Also, we've seen how fast people can get their phones out to start recording. There hasnt even been any aftermath recording, ie "this racist fuck just told this guy to get out of his america, shits going downnnnnn".

So what's the chance of 10 replicans defecting during the electoral conference in December ?

I think they tend to go hand in hand.

Lol, my mother thinks the same way.

I've seen no proof other that the side claiming to be not those things.
