I just created some stress for you and you typed the exact same thing twice in one minute. The speaker said stress would cause the repetitive behavior. You just demonstrated that.You didn't vary it at all. You could have typed anything to repudiate what I said but you chose to type the same phrase that you have typed a hundred times. Seriously you aware of your problem?

We had a speaker at work today and she explained that Tourette symptoms aren't just simple tics and swear words but can be repetitive statements and even some very complex behaviors. The angry tone in your posts suggests its more in line with tourettes than OCD. Although the speaker did say they are related and are considered in the same spectrum.
Do you know how many times you have repeated:
Evil libbbbtards....DECIMATEDâ—â—â—. Its almost always the exact same phrase. You must have typed that a hundred times in the past couple of months. Honestly its interesting how you keep going back to that. Do you ever try not to type it? By the way are you diagnosed?
The speaker also mentioned the fake. Where you add things to try and mask the behavior. She did say that there was medication that could help. She also said stress can increase the repetitive behavior. When I first started reading your posts, I thought you were a real jerk. I think I understand you better now.
That was just a bonus. If they ever make Happy Gilmore II, Shooter McGavin should wear a Hillary! shirt.

Yes, let's vote for someone to so we can wipe the smiles of a smug, faceless progressive.

Agree. Farewell Republic, hello Empire, prepare to die. Pretty much sums it up. Republics and democracies have died in the past. Ours is not the first.
"I've said it before but what is sad about the Dems is that at a time when they should be introspecting..."
Oh, come now. Forty years a voter and I've never cast a vote on the Dem line, but all these soul-searchings and analyses are just too much.
Look: people knew Trump from his TV show(s). Yeah, as time went by people started to load other stuff on him, but I'd bet a ton of dough that more than 80% of his votes came from people who'd seen him on his "reality" TV series.
They found him entertaining, he was familiar, and they were comfortable with him, so they voted for him, and he won fair and square. I don't think any "deeper" analysis is required, especially for a guy who couldn't even muster a plurality of the votes on Election Day.

Turns out Trump can't control the weather, unlike Our Lord and God Obama.
Also, most Republicans have real jobs that are not easy to leave for a day of frolicking in the streets.
Oh, right--good answer! Why didn't I think of that? Man, Republicans are smart.
Is this really the official inauguration thread as 8 pages in and there is nothing about the actual inauguration. ...
Really? I have various extended family in Indiana and friends from Oregon whom I visit once in awhile. Everybody I have talked to in Indiana really likes Pence. The Republican party as a whole really like Pence too. Frankly I think an impeachment of Trump isn't that farfetched. Obviously its easy to imagine Trump doing something that gives Congress the rationale to move on impeachment. But also, I think most of the Republican congress would prefer Pence over Trump. As Gerald Ford once said. The an impeachable offense is whatever a majority of Congress wants it to be.

I'm actually heartened by some of Trump's appointees, though. Some of them are qualified, good people. Others, like Betsy DeVos...well, maybe not so much.
Anyway, I live in Indiana, and I've see how bad Mike Pence is at doing anything other than looking good in a suit. So, despite my replies to Fonz above, I am rooting for Trump to be a success. A Pence presidency is far scarier.

Agree. The Dems absolutely wasted the last 4 years and utterly failed the entire general election all the way down the election ballot.
Time to move on. I'm looking forward to the inevitable constitutional crises that will plague the news cycle.

Some will argue that much regulation hinders industry and global competitiveness.
It is oversimplification to say that all evil and danger should be regulated out of existence.
Some pretend examples to attempt to demonstrate my point:
* Trump is on record wanting to roll back regulations on things that are pollutants.
* Trump is on record wanting to roll back regulations on things that can be used to kill people--guns.
* Trump is on record wanting to roll back regulations on things that can be used to kill people--knives.
* Trump is on record wanting to roll back regulations on things that can be used to kill people--pencils.
I'm not saying that I agree, or disagree, with Trump's positions, but just saying that it doesn't help to oversimplify and ignore arguments against environmental regulation.
Trump is a loser--no question.But Hillary is Lady MacBeth, not Mother Theresa.I'd have proudly voted for a Democrat who was not a bribe taking, alcoholic liar with serious health issues. Sadly, they did not bring one forward for me to vote for. Trump is a lot of things, but he's not on the take. He likely has put people on the take, but I think his first loyalty is to the underemployed steel workers and miners of America--not Goldman Sachs.Trump is imperfect-but far better than the alternative presented-a smarmy scumbag who can't connect with people or tell the truth about very simple matters.All this being said, I voted for Gary Johnson. It's tough being smarter than 98 percent of the voters.

That's a fair point, and I admittedly was writing in simplified language in my original post. But to elaborate: we already have a country where there is a giant "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico from agricultural run-off. We already have a country in which Appalachian streams are dangerously at risk from coal tailings, and a sordid history of what happens when regulations against those tailings are weakened. We already have a country in which untold numbers of American species are endangered from habitat loss. Given this country as it stands, rolling back environmental regulations would be a terrible thing. And I do not understand why people are willing to embrace a dirtier environment and the permanent loss of our natural heritage for the hope of a an extra point in GDP growth. Talk about a wretched, Faustian bargain.

Can you summarize just exactly how he is a "loser"? If a billionaire and the newly elected POTUS is a "loser", what does that make you?

I guess that makes me a bigger loser.
We have done an amazing thing that has never been done in the history of the world. I have lead this movement that will change this country and this world forever. The people have come out in the millions to give me the biggest election victory in the history of the United States. I proved all the critics completely wrong.
I will select the very best and very very smartest people to be in my cabinet. America is a horrible place crime ridden, violence drug abuse and with rampant unemployment. This will all end. All the carnage will stop today. Yes today because I said so! America will no longer be taken advantage of but will rise to be the dominate power we were meant to be. Our military will be rebuilt and will be the most feared in the world.
The people have risen and have taken back the power from Washington. I did this and it was glorious. God is on my side and wanted me to do this. As I look out at this inauguration crowd, the biggest crowd ever, to support a new president I really see how amazing I have been.
America is blessed...to have me.
