Conservatism is like

Wanting to take away all the road signs and traffic laws because you happen to be a good driver...

I took a chance...

I have heard this from several die hard republicans the last few days... sounds like they are subconsciously conceding defeat. Are they slowly coming out of their trump daze?

The new targeted shoppers for Ivanka's brand

Looks like rednecks are gonna have to start buying some not so fancy jewelry...

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/ivanka-trump-dropping-line-products-153835837.html

"Going forward, the brand says it plans to focus on expanding Trump's cheaper line of jewelry, according to Vanity Fair, which first reported that Trump would be discontinuing her high-end jewelry line.
The shift is part of strategy to make Ivanka Trump's brand more appealing to middle America."

Where does the I.R.S. stand?

I wonder how Trump's audit is going anyway? What exactly does the IRS think of all these fishy real estate deals that are all over the news? Long before Trump was bashing the u.s. intelligence community he was bashing the IRS. Does he have any real enemies there or will they cave because he's the president? Will trump ultimately be Caponed?

Response to fellow DUer worried about hating Trump

There are some people on this earth that deserve to be hated. As far as I'm concerned if you lack empathy and will hurt others to get ahead you have no place in society.
Trump is the poster child of greed, ego, ignorance and scapegoating. I can remember as a kid in the 80s that this man was a joke and now the so called working man thinks he will be their savior? He hasn't done an honest days work in his life. Never had to earn anything. All he has ever done was sign papers and destroy time after time what was given to him.
Empathy isn't something we are born with. We are taught it all through our lives by our own suffering and watching others suffer. Donald Trump has never really suffered a day in his life. Even on his worst day he was still better off then 99% of the population. He won't be able to help these people because he just doesn't have the life experience to know what needs to be done.
I say never apologize for hate. It's a liberal trait that hasn't done us well over the years. Makes us look weak. Its ok to hate someone if they truly deserve it. It's ok to kill bad people. I think an eye for an eye is a great policy. I have no problem punishing violent criminals with violence. I am a progressive because I think that's the best road for society to take. I believe every person on this planet has a right to live without fear and oppression and have some basic foundation to start their lives. What they do with it after that is up to them.
If someone is against that then really what kind of human being are they? Is there a hate line? I can hate Hitler but not Trump? I just pretty much just hate them all. They are a cancer for the human race. I'm definitely glad to see more liberals standing up and growing some balls lately.
