True. Although when you use the word "cunt", I'm assuming you are referring to just females? There were men involved too.

I been using the word cunt a lot in real life. Usually in traffic when someone's being an idiot, most of them are men

I was once attacked by 3 nazis that beat me with knuckledusters and clubs, an incident that sent me to the hospital with some nice head injuries. It all started because there was a massive nazi attack to an anarchist protest and i happened to walk by the anarchist's area and to also sport long hair and a beard so the fascist scum thought i was taking part in the anarchist protest. The beating happened in front of a policeman who told me to fuck off when i asked for help, bleeding like hell.
The next day i swore that if time came and i found a confirmed nazi (of the kind that walk around in nazi t-shirts and participate in beatings - there are many like this in Greece) alone in some remote place, i would cut a tendon or two of his. I also sued the police force but was later fucked over by them in a random weed search for doing so.
3 years have passed and i still think about hooking with nazis in remote places but my rage has started to calm a little. I don't know if i will ever cancel my oath. I am not happy with my self for thinking like this but i am also not happy with nazis and right wing idiots existing because they promote evil ideas. The gif with the nazi being punched made the facebook news in Greece too and was widely accepted mainly because the pos being punched is a journalist who has been spreading fascist ideology and lies.
i am not sure if randomly attacking nazis is a good practice but in my experience i was the one that got beaten and received no justice so watching that guy punching the nazi reporter in that gif gave me a smile.

sorry for the long rant, had to get this shit out of me but should have probably shared this in the "things you almost posted but you didn't" thread

also  slap spellcheck will not accept nazi for a word, i keep getting the red wavy underline

Wow that's fucking wild, I don't blame you for feeling that way, not one bit!

If you truly support Trump, or believe people should "just get over it," you are a mealy brained halfwit who clearly understands very little about our current situation.

Interestingly enough, your admittance of being wrong will not undo the potential harms that many people may experience if Trump carries out his (contradictory) promises. To those of us that are happy that income for normal families has finally started rising and unemployment is below 5% and that the more accurate U-6 rating of unemployment is finally below 10%, his "wild card" bullshit does not sound appealing (http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/07/unemployment-rate-shows-at-5-but-more-realistic-rate-is-higher.html).

Furthermore, your admittance of being wrong will be and is worth absolutely nothing in the real world. Despite your belief that this matters, it doesn't. To 18 million who may lose the healthcare that they got via the ACA, your admittance of being wrong won't mean shit (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/01/17/18-million-would-lose-insurance-in-first-year-of-obamacare-repeal-without-replacement-cbo-report-says/?utm_term=.b399934b7a18). It won't mean shit to those who may face problems via changes to medicaid (http://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2016/11/27/why-trumps-block-grants-for-medicaid-face-opposition/#715fb8cf20f9). For those of us under the age of 47, the Trump/Ryan threat to our Social Security and Medicare isn't appealing either (http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnwasik/2016/11/16/three-ways-trump-gop-may-cut-social-security-medicare/#1dadee0c4e0e). To those who have their water, air, and land polluted as the EPA is dismantled or dramatically weakened your admittance of wrong wont' mean shit (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-epa-freeze-grants-contracts-20170123-story.html). You won't mean shit when the FDA rolls back food safety measures and we are getting sick more often from tainted food (http://thehill.com/regulation/healthcare/296152-trump-says-he-would-eliminate-food-safety-regulations). It is not going to mean shit to those who continue to get fucked over by the banks when Trump weakens the consumer financial protection bureau (http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/finance/310155-consumer-financial-protection-will-remain-alive-under-trump). When he reduces the regulations on Wall Street even more (remember who got us into the recession and who benefited from the recovery?), your acknowledgement will still be worth nothing (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-mnuchin-wall-street-20161130-story.html). It won't fucking matter to the parents who watch their public school get replaced with a for profit charter school or a religious school under DeVos who appears to have no clue about anything other than how to born wealthy and marry into more money (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/betsy-devos-education-public-schools-233720). To those who are benefiting from the expansion of clean energy jobs your apology won't mean shit (http://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/2017/01/12/trumps-epa-pick-could-setback-tennessees-economy/96467586/). To me and everyone else that has a union job, your apology won't mean a damn thing after my union is dramatically weakened (http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-blasts-carrier-union-leader-1481169666 or http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/opinion/ct-lns-reeder-janus-st-1221-20161220-story.html). As Trump continues to insult civil rights leaders (attempting to weaken the cause as well as anyone who dissents against him) your admittance won't mean anything (http://www.wbur.org/radioboston/2017/01/16/john-lewis-1963m). To those who fear Trump's emboldening of neo-nazis, white supremacists, and the far-right, it won't mean shit either (http://myfox8.com/2016/11/14/church-vandalized-with-racist-message-trump-nation-whites-only/ or https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/11/15/you-can-all-go-home-now-police-investigate-hate-filled-note-targeting-iowa-muslim-family/?utm_term=.be98f82f7b29).  

To those who fear that Trump is a existential threat to democracy, if he turns out to be the ultra-nationalistic authoritarian many of us fear him to be, your admittance of being wrong is worth nothing. He is already engaged in falsifying things that don't matter at all (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/us/politics/trump-white-house-briefing-inauguration-crowd-size.html?_r=0) and he is great an inspiring hate. I don't know about you, but the idea of the president lying about something as silly as how many people came to his inauguration does not inspire confidence that the truth matters to this guy or his team at all. Governments that simply make up shit--even when there is verifiable evidence to the contrary--are very scary. Not to mention that he won't divest from his companies (severe conflict on interest), and he has stated that he will never release his tax returns, keeping all of America in the dark about his actual investments and connections (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/22/us/politics/donald-trump-tax-returns.html).

Finally, as someone who likes change, what changes exactly are going to occur to you because of Trump's transition? Do you have a pre-existing condition that might block you from obtaining healthcare? Are you going to lose your healthcare with this transition? Is your union being threatened? Did Trump increase the fees on your new home that you were thinking of buying (https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-01-20/trump-administration-overturns-obama-s-fha-mortgage-fee-cut)? Are you dealing with struggle of dealing with a student loan, if so, you think Trump's "change" sounds better (http://www.forbes.com/sites/nickclements/2016/07/07/5-student-loan-promises-from-hillary-clinton/2/#46933fd7b1f6 or http://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewjosuweit/2017/01/24/heres-what-student-loan-borrowers-expect-now-that-trump-is-president/#e54c3f264e02).

I'd imagine that you most likely live in a bubble (or think that you live in a bubble) where whether Clinton or Trump or Sanders or J. Bush had won you life wouldn't change one bit. It is easy to "enjoy change" when it is other people that may experience the negative aspects of change. People's lives can certainly change for the worst at anytime, but to celebrate that or encourage that harm is pretty fucked up. People's lives can change for the better as well. Maybe this is a better thing to celebrate and encourage.

When he reduces the regulations on Wall Street even more (remember who got us into the recession and who benefited from the recovery?), your acknowledgement will still be worth nothing (mnuchin-wall-street-story)

Yeah, but the current regulation is kinda sucky.  Changing the quantity of regulation is not the same thing as changing the quality of it.

Here is an example:

"Our results show that bond liquidity deterioration around rating downgrades has worsened following the implementation of the Volcker Rule. We find such adverse effects whether we benchmark to the pre-crisis period or to the period just before the Volcker Rule was enacted, and we find that the relative deterioration in liquidity around these stress events is as high during the post-Volcker period as during the Financial Crisis. Given how badly liquidity deteriorated during the financial crisis, this finding suggests that the Volcker Rule may have serious consequences for corporate bond market functioning in stress times."
-The Volcker Rule and Market-Making in Times of Stress

So in other words, regulation passed to stabilize the economy had the unintended effect of limiting bond market liquidity, because banks have cut back on market making functions. Of course, Dodd-Frank isn't so bad to warrant a full repeal, but it's still full of issues. I think the MFA hit the nail on the head:

"systemic risk is best addressed holistically, as opposed to by regulation of individual participants. Key, and we believe laudable, examples of such an approach are regulations implemented under Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, such as central clearing and margin requirements, which apply to markets holistically and approach sources of potential risk on a market structure-basis. This regulatory approach, which may, at first glance, appear to leave entities unregulated because it does not prioritize entity-level regulatory requirements, addresses fundamental market behaviors and investment activities that represent sources of risk comprehensively and in a manner that is even-handed and limits opportunities for regulatory arbitrage. These regulatory efforts have also been effective at addressing structural weaknesses in important parts of short-term funding markets, such as tri-party repo and money market funds. We believe that a market structure-approach is the appropriate method of addressing potential systemic risk because it regulates both sides of every relevant transaction, thereby addressing the financial interconnections between firms. With a comprehensive focus on markets and investing activities, the Council can strengthen the system as a whole, rather than merely changing characteristics of certain isolated individual market participants."

I'll check out the link. Thanks.

I support the general idea behind the original version of the Volcker Rule. The notion that commercial banks can gamble on risky speculative trading is a bit worrisome and I certainly don't mind that all those investment firms with over 150 million in assets are subject to greater supervision.

Prior to the rule being implemented an NYU prof wrote a paper addressing the liquidity issue that you bring up https://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-41-11/s74111-316.pdf . How much did he foresee and address these concerns? I'm not certain, I still need read to the paper that you linked to.

Totally, Trump is clearly a friend to the working class and has some plans to do anything to help them that he just has had to keep secret and never explain and isn't going to relentlessly bolster the ultra-wealthy, giving them reckless and unnecessary tax breaks, because he and his companies have benefitted from tax loopholes for decades so obviously he has an incentive to harm his own family's companies' interest.
