Proglodytes discuss how righteous, noble and brave they are

A U.S. President is NOT a Ruler, but a PUBLIC SERVANT!! A President is not the boss of the people...
   
But merely the boss of the government's network of public servants.

We cannot allow it to be forgotten that THEY work for us! (and not the other way around!)

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." Thomas Jefferson 

So we'll put you down as pro-2A.

Trump seems to be determined to establish an American dictatorship - and the moment he tries to implement this after his inauguration we must oppose him to such a degree (General Strike?? - whatever means) to communicate to his party that we, the people, WILL NOT TOLERATE AN AMERICAN DICTATORSHIP - and that we will be essentially ungovernable if this individual is not removed or forced to comply with our Constitution! If we accept a dictatorship we will never be rid of it in our lifetimes!

Based on what? The fact you drink bong water when your stash runs out?

NO AMERICAN SHOULD EVER ACT LIKE THEY ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP!!

We're not afraid of you.

With Climate Change - our generation has been given an opportunity (and responsibility) to save our planet - with Trump - we must answer the call to save our form of government. THIS IS OUR MOMENT! ("one of the greatest generations perhaps?")

Yet, your every prescription is to act like dictators.

In the long run, it may be easier than you think to dissuade the U.S. military from supporting a totalitarian regime partnered with a Russian dictator bent on abolishing the U.S. Constitution!

Without them - Trump will have NOTHING - and will be ready to kick to the curb like a toothless Joseph McCarthy figure.

You know who the military really doesn't like?

A drunken hag and a community organizer ***** who abandon comrade in arms to die on the battlefield because they're too chickenshit to own the mess they made in Libya.

6. Repubs want to rule, Dems want to govern...

if you don't know the difference, you probably vote Repub.

Really?

When are you going to provide for your own education, healthcare, food, housing and birth control?

So far you infants put a gun to everybody else's head to steal what you cannot/will not provide for yourselves then you compliment yourselves on being such noble, charitable souls.

You're petty thugs hiding behind the pretense of democracy and nothing more.

Um, Dear DUmmie, Trump's party controls 2/3 of the 3 branches of government. God willing they will soon control the 3rd branch.

Now, having 3 branches or even 2 under his party's control does not make a dictatorship.

A dictatorship is closer to how Obama has ruled the last 8 years. That should have been dicktastershit for Obama.

That's interesting because jamie fox refered to obama as Lord and Savior, so i assumed the President had some supernatural powers.  Or does that only apply to (half) black democrat presidents?

^^ Some other comedian called him "like our dad."  Oh not he's NOT my dad. 

Until he brought up climate change, the OPer sounded just like Teabagger.  Yes they are public servants, we are ultimately their boss.  Performance reviews are on a daily basis, with a major one every 4 years. 

Obama created the climate where someone could be afraid of the president.  Siccing the IRS on you, for example.  No wonder they're scared.

Obama never believed any of that.
Obama made it abundantly clear in so many ways that he didn't see himself as America's 44th president; He saw himself as America's first king.

It's sure felt that way for 8 years with that sonofabitch wagging his boney assed finger at us every time he speaks...  not to mention his wife Michael equating us to toddlers.
FOAD. You are right about one thing on the left... there will be no peace. We'll make damn sure of it.

It was the weekend after the election in 2008.  Valerie Jarrett was the co-chair of Obama’s transition team.  She was being interviewed on NBC.  He asked about the process of transition, and Jarrett responded "It is important that President-elect Obama is prepared to really take power and be ready to rule day one."

Horse.  Shit.

Even if your premise that global temperatures are increasing (Modestly supported by uncooked evidence) primarily as a result of human activity (Plausible but a hypothesis rather than proven fact), and we accept it at face value, IT'S IRREVERSIBLE.  It probably became that way back around the end of WW1.  It's not just a function of industrialization, but of global population.  No matter how low you drive the per capita carbon production of individuals (And again, even assuming you're right about carbon dioxide being the primary culprit, which is again a highly hypothesis concerning a phenomenon for which alternative hypotheses exist, rather than a fact), unchecked increase in global population will render any remedial measure you may force others to take will ultimately fail.

Long before the Earth becomes endangered by warming, population will reach a crisis.  It will expand until there is no slack at all in the food supply and distribution system, and then some random disruption - a giant solar storm, a 'Year without a Summer' from a volcanic caldera explosion, an asteroid or cometary hit, anything of that sort - will cause a wide-scale disruption of the food supply causing the whole system to crash and wiping out vast swaths of a population for which there is no reserve food supply or surviving means of distribution.

So, what is the downside?

And where would you rather be when this particular mass of feces collides with the air handler? In the cities with the masses of Progs, utterly dependent upon an uncaring incompetent government and a shattered  logistics system to provide for them, or in the hinterlands with those bitter clingers with guns and farms and wild game and knowledge of the land and how to live off of it?

I know where I'll be.

The biggest town in my county has a population of less than 3,000, and it's a half-hour drive from me.  Guess what kind of place I'm in.
