Climate scientists on what Trump winning will mean
http://www.climatecentral.org/ne…
"We have just elected the only climate denying president in the free world, with a Young Earth Creationist vice president. It's hard to predict exactly how this will play out in terms of impacts to combat and mitigate against climate change, but one of the most immediate threats will be to the funding and agencies that support climate change research.
Trump has gone on the record stating he'd cut funding for climate science, which will directly jeopardize ongoing efforts to understand how the climate system works, how to predict the impacts of climate change, and what the effective strategies for mitigation should be."
- this could be the worst outcome of all.fadein11
- If he gets his way, which I doubt, but if he does ... you'll see entire states in a few years that won't be producing any college ready studentsmonospaced
- imagine going to a school where creationism replaces evolution and anthropology, where science experiments and programs are gutted, and standards are removed?monospaced
- that's the worst case scenario, where states decide how they will handle education, and if it's further privatized, which Trump is for, then only $ gets good edmonospaced
- states would remove sex ed of course, and meanwhile, clear out any remaining planned parenthoods, creating a perfect storm of accidental pregnancies to punishmonospaced
- I know I went off on a tangent about science in general, but it's very similar. Sorry about that. Climate thing is also very real.monospaced

President-elect Trump due to appear in court at trial starting later this month
http://www.politico.com/story/20…
Before Donald Trump raises his right hand to take the oath of office in January, he’s set for a less-auspicious swearing-in: taking the witness stand in his own defense in a federal court civil trial over alleged fraud in his Trump University real estate seminar program.
Trump faces a legal ordeal no president-elect has ever encountered: juggling defending himself before a jury with preparing for the vast challenges a political novice will face in assuming the presidency.
- how will he run his biz and maintain "arms-length"?Gnash
- is he allowed to? ugh, I hope notmonospaced

People who don't live here, talking about how the world is going to shit because Trump won....omg, please, stahp!
FB is filled with political experts today. I wonder where they were during their countries elections this/last year.
- Nice isolationist theory there.BusterBoy
- What the US does affects MANY other countries.BusterBoy
- So they admit being indirect colonies of the US?Maaku
- no because the action1 makes affects other countries e.g. trump moaning about china & mexico. It's called geo-politics & most children learn this in schoollowimpakt

- those clowns and SCOTUS for Christ's sake. His actions will last my entire lifetime. Fuck. I can't believe how many can't see the big picture!formed
- Build a wall, he's an asshole for the rest of eternity. Not build a wall, he's an asshole for not doing what he promised to. This applies to most of his shit.monospaced

Jon Stewart far more qualified than Trump.
- obviouslymonospaced

- omg is just back from the future.sted
- im a time traveler dude. didn't you know?********
- Stewart doesn't talk out his arse and listens to Minor Threat. That already makes him approx. 3,000,000 times more qualified than Trump.face_melter

- Can Bill Clinton punch her, then bite her lip till she's submitted... then proceed to rape the fuck out of her then threaten her life? (read up on what Billy C)PonyBoy

- damn Pony, you sound really fired upmonospaced
- nah... just pointing out that she should probably fear Billy C (husband of the woman she just tried to elect) before she fears TrumpPonyBoy
- srsly... who do you fear more, mono? A mouthy misogynist or a mouthy misogynist whom rapes women too?PonyBoy
- dude, I am not filled with the fear like you are, except from a man child like trump having more power than he deservesmonospaced
- You're scared... i can smell it through the internet... musty and fearful... kind of tangy actually... ... I think a shower is in order, dude. ;)PonyBoy
- we are terrified. We now have an egomaniac surrounded by old politicians with an agenda to take away freedom.formed
- Then there's the trade wars and increased military spending (like the record amount is not enough?!), increase our debt by $530 TRILLIONformed
- and then give tax breaks to the wealthiest. I don't need to go into his womanizing, wife buying lifestyle to be terrified.formed
- womanizing isn't rape—two different worlds—so there is something to fear there in terms of HIll/Bill. Just can't have a conscience and do / cover-up that shit.PonyBoy
- lol you asked me if I was afraid of bill Clinton roaming free raping people. That's what you asked me. Lolmonospaced
- if that's how you want to leave it...intellectually destroyed by facts and left to make jokes... so be it. :) I guess you're cool with rape too... rad!!PonyBoy
- and yeah... i'd be in more fear of Bill raping women than Trump being a womanizer... wouldn't you, mono? or is rape cool? you like rape, mono?PonyBoy
- Wow you are completely off your rocker. Are you even reading how stupid you sound? Asking a grown man if he is afraid of bill raping people. Grow up.monospaced
- You must be a fucking idiot if you think it's even a little bit okay to accuse another person of being okay with rape over something like that. Just wow.monospaced
- trigger much? :)
Nobody accused you of anything... I asked you a question facetiously... I figured you could see that given your intellect, mono.PonyBoy - And for the record I'm comparing Trump's 'womanizing' with Bill and Hillarys RAPE... I'll ask again... which is worse?PonyBoy
- wow! mono is on fire!!PonyBoy
- you're going full on crazy dude, and how you fail to see how idiotic your "facetious" questions are is beyond memonospaced
- mono...
what's worse? covering up RAPE... or being a womanizer... this is NOT HARD... please answer... this is not a facetious question this time.PonyBoy - Trump brags about grabbing pussy... HIllary covers-up RAPE and basically let her husband keep doing so she could ride his coattails... you're good w/that?PonyBoy
- the 'child' in the pic talking about her pussy—she's a fucking moron like anyone who refuses to look at the abuse of the left's candidate—rape lovers maybe?PonyBoy

i wonder what this is
"establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values"
- Papers please!
*clicks heals
Jawohl!PonyBoy - Judeo-Christian values or GTFO! lolchukkaphob
- who's deciding what my values are and enforcing them on people?scarabin
- gotta go w/values outlined in the BofR/constitution... and the desire to not get blowed-the-fuck-up but instead be chill and enjoy unc. sam's 'hospitality'PonyBoy
- you know, making sure they're into pseudo-hippie overpriced exclusive events like Burning Man and other such values. Haha!chukkaphob

curious about this
"Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts"
- Health savings accounts are tax-free holding accounts in which you store cash for health purposes only... this puts it on 'you' to save moneyPonyBoy
- won't help a single poor person.Gnash
- nope—that's why the gov needs to do something about pharmaceutical and doctor costs—subsidizing is lame (we still pay via taxes)—need cost to go down somehowPonyBoy
- @Gnash define "poor person" in America. Are they all "poor" because of the same reason? Or because of different reasons?chukkaphob
- This is a way to shit on minorities and the poor. Typical.monospaced
- need to get ppl to stop thinking health insurance is the only way to get healthcare. and start accepting that people die********
- when prices become apparent you will know shit is working. when you can use 5yr old method that is -.005% less successful vs newer w/ 2000% more cost********
- less insurance hopefully less legal looking for loopholes in insurance contracts. the local hospital here ended up just buying the insurance company.********
- shits on the middle class just as much as minorities and the poor, mono...at least u can shield some $ from the paws of the gov & put to your own good usePonyBoy
- and certian non-profit loop holes would help. when they have to spend profits they do it on wasteful ads, and prestige builds which drive up costs********
- so much regulations with generics and what not too. my gf cant get an extra month of birth control in advance if we are out of town because of rules********
- depending on her insurance provider the rates swing from name brand to generic for no reason. she should be able to buy direct liek contact prescription, but********
- cant or the cost is ridiculous or something, which it shouldnt be considering the cost of manufacturing********
- don't ask the country and your fellow citizens what it/they can do for you; ask what you can do for yourself.chukkaphob
- Like get off your ass and get a job for example.chukkaphob
- Of course it hurts MAINLY if not ONLY the middle class. Duh. That's who's paying -- the people who WORK.chukkaphob
- national healthcare/single payer system is the only way. Everything else will be abused and owned by shareholders.formed
- until then, America will never be "great". Can't take care of our own is pathetic.formed
- living in America, being healthy and of sound mind and not being able to take care of yourself is a little pathetic too, formed.PonyBoy
- Chukk's point about getting off one's ass... couldn't agree more. :)PonyBoy
- formed you believe medicare is awesome and without fault? never been abused or manipulated by shareholders (gov)?********
- Wow. So basically you're saying get a job and be ready to pay out the ass for your own health care. Jesus Christ.monospaced
- I'm glad I'm not a freelancer who gets cancer under that program.monospaced
- healthcare for everybody is possible. it does work in canada and don't believe the bullshit that says otherwise.Gnash
- mono... i'm saying part of what you said... ommission below:
**get a job and be ready to pay o̷u̷t̷ t̷h̷e̷ a̷s̷s̷ for your own health care**PonyBoy - Actually Chukka, I shouldn't have said 'poor.' I meant pretty much everybody. How much have you saved for your child's cancer?Gnash
- canada has our medicare and most people have private insurance on top. we pay more as percentage of GDP just for medicare. Lets expand medicare to everyone and********
- only pay what it funds. Done universal care, and most people would buy their own plans on top.********
- we should be able to stretch like a max 18-20% of GDP per year through wait times and selective coverage. you are right we can do it too********
- the'extra' private insurance in canada is provided by employers as a perk. no one 'needs' it for health coverageGnash
- the 'extra' insurance usually covers thing like private hospital rooms, dental care, massages, orthopaedic shoes, glasses...Gnash
- thats fine. we can easily take our larger medicare spending and cover everyone with it instead. we already spend mroe so let lock in the rate********
- ration as necessary, selective care maybe higher doctors at lower wage caps. and employers provide msot secondary care too and we will be canada********
- that is what you are suggesting right? or should we lower percentage of GDP for full coverage to canada levels? i do see now its possible.********
- i understand the quality of care will suffer. competition for doctors will lower. a small group will decide what is covered and what isnt. but single payer! YAY********
- and without spending anything more than we already do since we are blasted for how much we already spend********
- i dont think ppl truly understand what it is they want. jsut a personal utopian ideal not thought out. idc about the details just make that shit pop.********
- think we all know the clients who build things up in there heads and tell a designer and they are like uh sorry. we never think we are ever that person********
- i did exactly as requested. sorry you dont like it.********
- Gnash, this is the last time I will EVER respond to you for making the absolutely heartless statement "How much have you saved for your child's cancer?"chukkaphob
- What a coldhearted wishful evil insensitive prophetically disturbing statement!!!!! How do we have people like you on here? I'm in shock.chukkaphob
- "get off your ass and get a job...ask what you can do for yourself" you should be shocked with your own thinking.Gnash
- and that is an intellectually lazy interoperation of what I said. stick to the COTD thread.Gnash
- ugh. interpretation*Gnash
- gnash im still curious if u would be cool with expanding medicare to cover everyone at existing cots for universal care?********
- I don't have any expertise in this area. I just know from my experience that healthcare for everyone can and does work.Gnash
- those in need are cared for and the world hasn't ended.Gnash

The election of Donald Trump to the Presidency is nothing less than a tragedy for the American republic, a tragedy for the Constitution, and a triumph for the forces, at home and abroad, of nativism, authoritarianism, misogyny, and racism. Trump’s shocking victory, his ascension to the Presidency, is a sickening event in the history of the United States and liberal democracy. On January 20, 2017, we will bid farewell to the first African-American President — a man of integrity, dignity, and generous spirit — and witness the inauguration of a con who did little to spurn endorsement by forces of xenophobia and white supremacy. It is impossible to react to this moment with anything less than revulsion and profound anxiety.
