Agreed. A vote for them is a vote wasted.

Or more likely, he's embattled by congress until finally impeached.

But yeah, no good for anyone.

My main concern about Trump trumps zoophilia (pun intended).

I don't see him as a stable man to rule the country. I'm actually legitimately fearful for what he'll do to our national stability (not safety, I'm sure he'd be impeached before anything like that, but he's already hurting our economy before he even got elected).

I care about that more than my right to be an open zoo honestly. I mean we're talking about a man who's enough of a buffoon to threaten to "close the internet with the help of Bill Gates" despite neither securing the support of Bill Gates, nor researching the issue.

And that's the least worrisome among his various positions...

ad 1): Yeah,sure,´cause power doesn´t corrupt. There never was gay sex in the Vatican, right? Seriously, now....have you forgotten which party Trump belongs to and for how long the party will sit still and let rapey can of fanta do what he likes? If he wins (sadly it looks like the Trumpocalypse will be real in a few hours), I highly doubt he will stop his trademark hate rhetoric...when he was referring to the LGBT in one of his speeches, he couldn´t even say those four letters fluently...obviously he´s not using that term very often. Don´t forget he is running for the Republicans, is basically politically an empty shell that can and will be filled by his advisors, also Republicans and very likely one of the believers in Alt right propaganda. As gays are considered a part of the Zionist conspiracy, guess what the direction will be....you Americans wanted to return to "the good ol´ 50s", now voíla, here you have it.

ATM, my emotions are split in two: on one hand, his grandfather´s birthhouse lies only some 15-20 kilometers away from my birthtown and I should be proud an offspring of a fellow Palatinian may be POTUS. On the other hand, as a German, I think the last few hours give quite a accurate picture of what itmust´ve felt like on the evening of January, 30th, 1933. Good luck, America...you´ll need it.

Have you... looked at his prospective vice president?

Oh, how do YOU know? Making statements for a group you´re clearly not belonging to at all is kinda...oh, well...forget it, you won´t learn anyway. Don´t forget to consult a shrink, Autism is a serious mental disorder and it needs to be treated by an expert.

P.S.: Aladeen 2020!!!

Don´t focus on Trump so much, ´cause Trump´s strategy is shortsighted and has one basic flaw. The options are: 1) Trump will do all of that he promised in his campaign. Results: Total isolation from the world, high import taxes as he wants to leave NAFTA and the WTO, large waves of Emigration because people with a more progressive mind will flee their country (Canada´s official internet site shut down due to massive access, btw) and by leaving NATO, your country has to face every single conflict alone, without any "coalition of the willing". 2) Trump does some of the things he promised: the less promises he can realize, the more he´ll be under fire...from his own posse!

and 3) Trump cannot get any of his promises done. Let´s take a look into the mindset of those long time non voters who made his victory possible. These people won´t be satisfied with "just a little bit", they want what they voted for. Trump used their anger to win, he directed it anywhere he wanted. Crooked Hillary, Hey, it´s Rubio etc.... the disadvantages of such a hate campaign are the ones you´ve kept "on fire" for more than a year. Has someone read Goethe´s "Zauberlehrling" (magic apprentice/ sic!!!) ? A young and dimwitted magician conjures demons, thinking he can handle them, but quickly losing control. Same with his enthusiastic supporters, his die hard fan club. Remember that now he´s President, there´s no direct target anymore he can blame for all the bad of the world. The lack of a designated scapegoat will inevitably create a vacuum...and guess what, his hate apostles won´t stop hating all of a sudden, Mr Trump got them fixed during his campaign and once you´re on a drug, you cannot simply quit without any withdrawal symptoms. So, here we are: a president who cannot turn back the wheel of time as he promised, a fanaticised mass of people not knowing where to put their hate now, a land in total division and his own party isn´t even backing him up 100%. That´s the danger when playing with fire, as Mr Trump did. He also gave his crowd easily memorizable slogans they surely will remember the next 4 years, so he can´t rely on the typical 3 second attention span of an average citizen. Chances are pretty high that he´ll leave office hanging from a lamp post like Mussolini in 1945.

BTW: I cannot believe I would ever have to say this, but kudos to George W. Bush for not voting for Trump. Who would have thought Bush wasn´t the worst and actually has a certain kind of honor in him, keeping him from voting for Sir Tinyhands Gropes-a-lot.

What you will really have to worry about is Trump´s team, probably all some sort of hardliners with a Tea Party twist. I told you the pendulum would eventually swing back... it will be these people running your country, not the orangyskinned oxtoad; he´s the distraction, he´ll keep you entertained with his scandals while those working behind the scene will try to turn back time to the 50s.

The only chance I see: both major parties need to unite. They need to fix your voting system that hardly is democratic at all, as Mrs Clinton,like Al Gore, had more votes in total. You´ll need to find something that calms down the urban youth, some of the already walking through the streets, shouting "not my president". Maybe Trumpocalypse is a real chance for you to fix your system.

We should all learn from that; it teaches a valuable lesson what happens when people mistake privilege for equality, when criticising certain groups is a "hate crime" and when there´s no reality anymore, but two opposing bubbles/echo chambers. We´re not living in 1880 anymore and all Democracies have failed to adapt their political system to the new realities of internet and worldwide communication. Don´t worry about Trump too much. With all of these ticking timebombs he fused in his campaign, chances are high he´ll get the Kennedy or Mussolini treatment sooner than he thinks. W

I can't find a single reference to interring people without a crime in the Adam Walsh act as described on Wikipedia. But it's a dense read and I may be missing something, or wikipedia may. Can you please back up your claims?

Also, I am opposed to any active exploitation of children. Pedophilic thoughts are a sticky issue and I'm hardly against thoughts, but as I read the Adam Walsh act, I'm not exactly opposed...

Don't expect politics nor politicians to solve your problems.

I'm not. I'm just trying to figure out what would have fucked us over the least
