Thanks Zues36. That made my day. The whole country should have a listen.

This is some great stuff. The Not My President People are wrong. Trump and Pence were elected by a system that has been in place to give each state a say in how our Great Country is run. Stay in your bedroom and cry. I have for 8 years, now it's your turn. Protests are an excuse to riot, hurt innocent people and loot from your own neighbors.

Agreed 100%

I guess they think if they whine long enough someone will cave and overrule the law of the land to pacify them.

Had Hillary won (shudder), most of the righties would have just gone back to work, others may have actually revolted. I doubt many would be in the street blocking traffic and whining like a bunch of unemployed *******. Like feminism, it's a movement looking for a cause.

Thank You and I feel the same. I've tried to work for the past 8 years under Obama but he destroyed my job as a Weapons System Tester.

The right to assemble and peacefully protest is a first amendment right. Don't like it. Tough ****.

Yeah you had to deal with a President you didn't want for eight years and the Democrats had to deal with Republicans crying like babies about it for eight years too. So now the shoe is on the other foot so you're going to have to deal with the whining. Tough ****.

Tough **** is the same response I gave the liberals back in December of 2008 when there were folks having Marches on Washington DC claiming Obama wasn't their president. Funny how quickly people forget the Tea Party was pretty much formed in protest of Obama. Funny how people forget the huge rise Glenn Beck had when Obama was elected as he kept painting all these Doomsday scenarios. Did we forget about Glenn Beck crying on TV saying he fears for his country? That was March 2009. I still remember having to drive by rallies in St. Louis in December of 2008 with signs of "We want our country back" "He's not my president." And then of course there were other signs with Nazi symbols and pictures of Obama as some sort of african witchdoctor. I remember seeing them a lot for a while.

Oh... but its just the liberals that whine? Por fa ******* vor.

I swear I'm so ******* sick of the hypocrisy by the supporters of the respective parties. America has the memory of a goldfish and they get played like a violin for it.

If you didn't like Obama as a president, fine, that's your right. And you have the right to say he was a ****** president. And you have the right to post all sorts of mean **** about him. I know people on my Facebook feed were for years and years. Not a day went by where I didnt see one. Every day there was something about "King Barry" or "The Annointed One" -- memes that more often than not weren't true. But you don't get to limit who can do that and at this point in the game you don't get to pretend like the Republicans accepted Obama with respect and tried to work with him.

 

[SpecOps13]

Exactly, Tough ****. The comment was for anyone who turns a Protest into a Riot. That goes beyond Protest. No matter who they are, what National Origin or Political Affiliation. Protesting is our right, Rioting and hurting innocent people in any way isn't.

 

[Kronx]

I didnt interpret this thread as that. I interpreted about people whining Trump isnt their president. Thats the title of the thread after all. The irony of course is Trump supporters telling people to stop the "not my president" whine are forgetting Trump spent 5 ******* years claiming Obama wasn't an American. But liberals need to stop the "not my president?" God the hypocrisy is crazy.

You'll get no argument from me about riots. I don't condone that at all. But that's not what all this thread was about. Or at least the way I interpretted it. It seems people on this thread are blissfully ignoring the history of Republicans "acceptance" of Obama as president. But thats par for the course in our society now. Everyone thinks their party is the "adult in the room" when both parties have a long history of ignorance and unexcusable behavior.

When I used to be stuck in Seattle, there were a couple times protesters would block traffic on the interstate or around city center. If I'm sitting on my bike in the rain being late for work because someone is blocking the freeway to make a point, guess whos ******* point I have just taken a stance against?

We love the constitution, the right to protest is one of the things that helped end the Vietnam war. Like any tool, it has value when used correctly. What we have had is a bunch of entitled ******** holding up traffic, assaulting people and pretty much rioting in many cases. Once we jump the fence to wronging innocent people trying to get to work or go pickup their kids then it's not protesting anymore. It's a bunch of misguided idiots throwing a tantrum because they didn't get their way.

The key here is to remember that this election is a done deal. It's ******* over. The time to do the sign waving was before or up to the election. There is nothing to be accomplished here, nothing to be gained, all it accomplishes is showing us what a bunch of sore losers these spoiled brats are. One thing I have realized is that Hillary is just a well aged version of these hordes of entitled twats. These protesters know they cant change an election that went down by the law of our land. It's done, now is the time they should be protesting the electoral college, or, dunno, maybe going to ******* work.

THE ELECTION IS OVER OVER OVER OVER. ITS DONE!!

Even though I'm not a religious man I have always found great value in the following prayer. It really is fantastic.

Insert diety here, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Not if Lady Gaga gets her way.
I've heard there are over 2.5 million signatures on a petition to have the electoral college cast their votes for Hillary.

But as it stands right now.....Trump has 290 votes (as far as I know Michigans still hasnt been decided) so ATLEAST 21 people would have to change their minds in the electoral college. If Trump got Michigan (16 votes), so then 37 electoral votes would have to be overturned.......I dont really see then happening.

Agreed that it is HIGHLY unlikely that something like that would ever happen.

I think its a bit humorous that people are signing this petition. I wonder if those that signed are actual voters who feel they were wronged or, if most that signed are a bunch of teenagers that did so because they like Lady Gaga?

I find it hard to believe that anyone listens to celebrities. unk:

If you show Americans that our votes can be overridden by an attention-whore celebrity and a bunch of unemployed progressives then whats next? Can you imagine what would happen if said states did arbitrarily change their vote, altering the outcome of the election? I wouldn't want to see the vote overridden even if Clinton did win. Overriding an election result would mobilize groups far more passionate and capable then a hordes of butthurt tearful liberals.

BTW, I'm all good with those protesting without creating a nuisance for their fellow citizens, one thing that protestors dont seem to get is that when you make life harder for the general public you taint the water and bias against the cause you are rallying for. Is there really no way to do this while maintaining consideration for others?

I'll say it again, when Obama was elected in 2008, it didn't stop people from marching in cities in protest in 2009 over his election. I remember Fox News even promoting a few Marches organized by Hannity and Beck. So saying people doing post-election sign waving is a Hillary/Democrat thing is just flat out false.

Do I agree with the marching? No. Doesn't make much sense to me. Didn't in 2009 either. I can't help but laugh when I see some white kid in tears about Trump but then admits they didn't vote. And I laughed in 2009 when seeing a 22 year old white girl crying at a Tea Party rally that she "wanted her country back" and then admitted she didn't vote. It just sounds ridiculous to me. But it's a right all people have.

But what also sounds equally as crazy to me is telling those folks to get over it when the very person these folks are protesting looked like an ***** for 5 years claiming Obama wasn't an American citizen. Maybe someone should have tweeted Trump the Dragnet video 7 years ago.

By electing Trump, not only did America say they're ready for a change, they also said common decency is no longer expected or wanted. So combine that eviction notice on decency with the vicious/poisonous divide we have among our citizens things are going to get uglier. I'm certain of it.

Bin Laden may be dead, but his overall goal IMO has been a success. Americans are eating themselves. The American Empire is coming to an end and we are going to bring that end upon ourselves.

Something to watch for. It was Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his "cold case posse" that thoroughly investigated the Birth certificate posted by the white house. Arpaio said it wasn't whether or not Obama was a US citizen, His goal was to prove one way or the other if the Birth certificate was authentic or fraudulent. Sheriff Arpaio was voted out this election, so he will be Sheriff up until Jan 2017. What was said, is That Arpaio and the lead investigator Mike Zullo will have a press conference about there final results before his term is over .Lets see if it happens.

Its hard to argue with this, according to a few friends on the east coast he has been looking like an ***** for far more than 5 years, and his father before him. Trumps election signaling the need for change, again IMHO true, along with his lack of tact and decency which is hard to deny. I think a lot of that has to do with our disgust for the PC culture run amock, he happens to be quite a ways on the other side of that, not ideal for a president, but change is needed. I'm afraid I'm completely disarmed when trying to defend Trump, so much of what he says is indefensible and I also agree that he is totally unfit to run the country, probably only marginally better than Clinton. I'm not just throwing mud here but I do believe he is schizophrenic.

I am optimistic that the decent folks in this country will continue to be decent with or without Trump. A sense of decency is not granted or revoked by the president, but I do think it's going to give some licensure to those that were somewhat closeted with the negative attitudes and racism.

Trump is a problem that will be gone in the next four years, probably sooner. The divide is a problem that isn't going away easily I fear, I think you hit that on the head. As long as Dems and Reps are in charge we will always have a divide. I know most folks are fundamentally decent and a compromise would probably really help narrow this divide. I happen to think that some Libertarian leadership may be the compromise we need to help merge extreme left and extreme right. I'm pretty sure America has outgrown Dems and Reps.

IMHO everything you said here is pretty easy to agree with. :cheers:

 

[Kronx]

I admire your optimism of the American people. I wish I could share it, but I can't.

My biggest fear is Trump will sell us all out. I expressed concerns a couple of weeks before the election of the conflicts of interest with the Trump organization and the White House. A conflict of interest which seems he doesn't care about so far. He's already been meeting with business partners -- hell he started meetings with them before heads of state. His kids are part of his transition team. They're in meetings he's having with heads of state. I see all sorts of red flags there, but already folks from the right are turning a blind eye to it. During the primaries when asked about it he said if he became president he would break all ties to his company. Clearly he's reneging on that talk. But I'm not surprised really. Afterall he was the candidate who bragged about being part of the pay to play system during the primaries. Now he's doing as I expected -- embracing it wholeheartedly since now he'll be on the receiving end of that arrangement. So much for draining the swamp.

I really wish the right would be as skeptical of Trump and his obvious conflicts of interest as they were with Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. But they wont be and they need to be because it seems Trump is going to shut out the liberal media pretty hard -- so it really is incumbent for Fox News to hold him accountable. But I'm not seeing it so far. I remember Trump saying he had people no one even knew about that he would bringing in, but so far everyone he has met with are all well knowns. I'll reserve my judgement for when people are actually appointed to the positions, but so far I'm not seeing him looking at any agents of change.

PS - Can anyone on these forums give me a valid reason why Ivanka Trump who now heads his company was in the meeting Trump had with the Prime Minister of Japan? Because I'm sincerely at a loss here to see a valid reason that isn't one of corruption -- perhaps I'm missing something and maybe someone here can help me out.

Some want Hillary to contest the Election in key battleground states. When will her CRAP end. It's Over.

I Understand.....Trump wasnt my first choice, but it comes down to someone that MIGHT sell us out, VS someone that WOULD (Hillary).

+1, I also didn't fully support any of the choices and voted against the worst, in my own opinion. I've never voted like that before. But felt it important to cast a vote.
