Had dealings with a real life Stan (wait til I fill you all in and show you the emails, lol), run five miles everyday to stay healthy, life is good.
I'm good. I hope all is well with you all.
Now on to the good shit.
If you believe the global elite would allow the average joe to decide the leadership of this country, by filling in bubbles next to names printed on paper, then you are highly delusional.
Gotta get back to work.

Its all good I don't need you to understand me, I still respect your opinion, and wouldn't want you to change it because it's yours. At the end of the day though, don't be mad at the 980,000 that voted against what you wanted, be mad at the 45% of registered voters that didn't bother to show up (alot of weed heads in that group). Petition the Feds and the VA, I'm sure there are groups you can join for that.

One Wall Street CEO called Trump's victory weeks ago, and he was pretty much spot on
"I'm predicting that Donald Trump will win the election," he said at a Bloomberg event.
He wasn't the only Wall Streeter to predict the victory, but he was one of a small band. And his comments explaining the prediction, made in an interview with Business Insider a few days later, are worth reading again in light of Trump's surprise victory.
Here's the relevant extract:
Turner: Moving to some other comments you made recently, you said at the Bloomberg Most Influential Summit that you thought Trump was going to win the election. Why?
Moelis: Why is a good question. Just to give you a flavor, they said, "We've got 15 seconds left. Who is going to win?" Let me start be saying I've not supported anyone in the campaign.
Look, one of the great parts about my job is I travel the world. I was in India right before the Modi election, and I don't think he was the frontrunner until the end. It was phenomenal to see what was going on there. I came away from there so energized about India, and I was pretty sure that Modi was going to win an election that wasn't easy to see. I went to Brazil, and you get on the ground and you see it, and you could tell the government was in trouble two years ago. This was just going to sweep the government aside, and it was a force you could feel. Brexit, the same thing.
You see a wave of populism in the world. There is something wrong. This maybe because of technology. The ability of people to reach their own news sources now, and create different views, is really unbelievable, and it may be part of this. So I sense the same things here. There is a desire for change. There is a millennial generation that doesn't like what they're seeing, but doesn't quite know what the solution is.
What I thought was — and this was especially the case prior to the first debate — I thought in the United States, when you look at it, there is 42% that is solidly behind what is the status-quo candidate. That leaves 58%. Whether Donald Trump can organize that and convince that he is the right vessel for that is up to him.
In a sense, I'm not saying he is going to win; I should have said it is his to lose. That is more my feeling — it is his to lose. He could do that, but I think there is a movement out there. I really felt that way going into the first debate.

I love how much the media hates trump. Every neutral appearing article I come across--and it could be about anything-- somehow finds the opportunity to shit on trump.
Then you got headlines like "Why did the polls go so wrong?".
These establishment elite are so out of tune with the rest of society that they never once could see that every time an establishment figure like Obama warned against trump it only made everyone more persistent in electing trump.
These morons at the DNC still won't take responsibility for the way things ended up by cheating over and over and taking it from Sanders.
The cause for why trump is now president is never because of THEM when it is the only reason he is now president.
The more they continue with their narratives the more people hopefully continue getting sick of them all.
Then you got the sheep protesting. They really believe themselves to be warriors for righteousness. But where were they in the thousands when they could have actually been beneficial? Are they even researched?
The dumbest people today have the greatest indignation. Everyone I come across is suddenly an expert.
Well, that settles my 8am self-expression exercise. Back to the box.

Sanders would have beat Trump, but to be honest the DNC would rather lose than have someone like Sanders as president.
It's funny, Hillary spent way more money than Trump:
Hillary - $1.4 Billion
Trump - $795 million
It's insane the amount of money that goes into this shit and even more insane that this country allows big business to buy candidates.

DNC is no better than the GOP, thats for damned sure. The funny thing is they said "fuck it Donald, it is. The rest of our squad is a bunch of retarded shit heads." And even now, some dont claim Trump but a sa whole? He is their "man". Anything to get power back in the house.
DNC basically looked around when Bernie was like "oh hai hi guys...can i represent you?" They were all "whos mans is this..."

Here Is What Donald Trump Wants To Do In His First 100 Days
* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:
* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator
* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately
* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward
* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama
* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities
* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back
* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:
Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
