Is America ready for a racist, convict, lying, psychopath as a president?

So what do you think? Is Murica ready for Trump?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If 'merica is stoopid enough to vote for him, then it's probably ready
It's the effect he will have on the rest of the world that scares me!

Yup.
I often get, "why do you care and comment on American politics?"
Because if you folks vote in the orange wankspanner, it will fuck up the rest of the world, too!

Judging by number of people supporting him it sadly is.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

40% are, yes. And they're working to disenfranchise the other 60%.

While I'm not all that big on assassination of political figures, there are times when I would make an exception. This is one of them. It isn't often that one person poses such an obvious threat to world order.
Back when I worked in defense, if one had a bankruptcy on their record, one couldn't get a security clearance, full stop. Why that doesn't apply to political figures completely escapes me. I had expected that this would have excluded the orange turd from office the first time. Couple that with his criminal mishandling of TS information, it further puzzles me. If I had done that, I wouldn't be posting here, I'd be in prison. Guess I don't have enough money?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Some people are better off dead. Some people leave the world a better place when they die.
Some people manage both.

According to half the country, he already did all the best presidential stuff and will continue to do the same.
