Good point and the preservation of the Second Amendment was one of the best parts about the election.

But Trump can also crack down on these thugs to ensure they are in cages where they belong.

Law enforcement is still pretty much a state and local thing, especially problems like this. Having a justice department that isn't threatening to sue local police departments for cracking down on the thugs will go a long way to getting a handle on this situation.

Another will be getting rid of Soros (including his son). That fat blog of evil funds BLM and other organizations of similar ilk. Putin wants him extradited. Trump hinted he would discuss that with Putin.

Lib media that tired to suppress ppl from voting for Trump will not even mention this on the news tonight.

Yet if the roles were reversed we'd have riots in the streets.

Trump's Supreme court short list is pretty solid. If two to four justices get replaced, then I think the expansion of the Heller decision is a given. NJ will be forced to become a 'shall issue' state (like Illinois was). We have split district courts (the 3rd ruled against the Heller expansion), so it will have to go to SCOTUS at some point.

Plus one of the proposals from the incoming Trump admin is nationwide concealed carry.

In either case, mob beat down like what happened in Chicago might become a much rarer event, after a few of these thugs get their livers ventilated.

Of course, McConnell has already said it's dead.

Same shit happened in LA during Rodney King riots; they pulled a trucker from the cab, beat the crap out of him, and finished him off with a brick to the head.

This is why if you are driving and see a mob of "teens," you speed up and run them over if they are blocking the road. Don't want to end up like this guy.

Dolomiti, it is obvious you are just angry and frustrated with the fact that your side was dealt a landslide loss.

However, regarding the point about Trump rooting out government corruption....

1. Reinstate a five-year ban to prevent executive branch officials from lobbying after they leave office and prevent an executive action from lifting it.

4. Lifetime ban on senior executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.

5. Campaign finance reform that prevents registered foreign lobbyists from raising money in American elections and politics.

Why would non-Californians support this? What about the tax base!

I'm not suggesting this is easily done or probably even feasible (today) - just curious how people feel about it.

You kind of make my (and their) points quite well:

I truly believe the country will split up in my lifetime - culturally the union is untenable. I've felt this way for quite a while (although I used to think it would be beyond my lifetime) and a book I read a couple of years ago makes a great case for it - "American Nations".

If you were able to vote today on whether or not to finish what was left undone by the Civil War and split the country up, would you?

I would. The divide is so deep and requisite-days-after-the-election unity rhetoric aside, it is only getting deeper. That isn't going to change. I don't want to live in the world of the other side and they don't like my world. (They like my tax dollars, but that's a different story...)

It doesn't have to be this way - once you strip away the foolish sentimentality and nice round numbers and really consider it objectively, I think many people (most?) would come to the conclusion we'd be better off going our separate ways.

Melania has said her platform will be fighting cyber bullying, unless that has changed already.
