Hillary had 163,641 more votes than he did but he is prez-elect. Why do we allow losers to become prez?

No one forced them to spend money creating fake bernie bros. If she had not done this bernie would have won or a least if she had taken the primary without cheating the democrats would not have lost that portion of the vote of people who vowed to not vote for a cheater. Why no protests over that? It is trumps fault for winning so protest him? Nonsense. It is hillary and DWS and others who took something easy to win and lost it. less

Johnny Bravo is a cartoon that I find quite funny and I'm wondering if anybody else watches it. Cheers!
I searched the internet and can only find votes by county maps. I am curious as to how the election would have gone if every state chose their electors like Maine and Nebraska.

Nobody knows for sure, although early indications clearly lean Clinton. Whatever happens, however, let’s be clear: this was, in fact, a rigged election.The election was rigged by state governments that did all they could to prevent nonwhite Americans from voting: The spirit of Jim Crow is very much alive — or maybe translate that to Diego Cuervo, now that Latinos have joined African-Americans as targets. Voter ID laws, rationalized by demonstrably fake concerns about election fraud, were used to disenfranchise thousands; others were discouraged by a systematic effort to make voting hard, by closing polling places in areas with large minority populations.The election was rigged by Russian intelligence, which was almost surely behind the hacking of Democratic emails, which WikiLeaks then released with great fanfare. Nothing truly scandalous emerged, but the R... less

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes". From Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Trump said his favorite quote from the Bible is AN EYE FOR AN EYE. Do you support that and agree with he? Is that YOUR favorite Bible quote? If not what is and why?

Then I felt so angry. This morning, I started crying listening to Hillary give her concessional speech. I was touched by her words of encouragement. I began to thing about quotes from the Bible: "Weeping my endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."So words do comfort people. Those are my words for you. Do you have any words for me? less

James Madison worried about what he called “factions,” which he defined as groups of citizens who have a common interest in some proposal that would either violate the rights of other citizens or would harm the nation as a whole. Madison’s fear — which Alexis de Tocqueville later dubbed “the tyranny of the majority” — was that a faction could grow to encompass more than 50% of the population, at which point it could“sacrifice to its ruling passion or interest both the public good and the rights of other citizens.” Madison has a solution for tyranny of the majority: “A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect, and promises the cure f... less

They'll tell you that he has to get APPROVAL from some bureaucrat, and then get APPROVAL from his generals... That's LAUGHABLE on its face, when you consider that he has ONLY 9 minutes to decide whether to shoot or not. CLEARLY, there's NO time to consult with ANYBODY.. I say that, because the assumption under which the president would FIRE his nukes, is that the ENEMY has already FIRED theirs and they're on the way. His handlers took his Twitter account away from him during the last days of the campaign, because they KNEW he couldn't be trusted. Now, NOBODY, but NOBODY can take away his nuclear bombs.. excon less

What are the dems gonna do since everything will be in control of the Republicans? Seems to me to be a waste of their time. They can have a 4year hiatus. Do other things. More important things than sit on their a**es watching the Republicans screw everything up. They will come back refreshed/revitalized and raring to go. By then the country will have come to regret what they did that terrible day in 2016. Or not. Who knows? less

Maybe that's why he wanted to be prez. He saw the handwriting on the wall and thought he'd get elected prez by any means possible so he could wield the ultimate power over himself. Pretty clever.
