Courtesy of NBC:#Breaking News: President-elect @realDonaldTrump has garnered the 270 #ElectoralCollege votes needed to become president. pic.twitter.com/e8xIf1NOQq— Fox News (@FoxNews) December 19, 2016
The Electoral College formalized Donald Trump's election victory on Monday despite protests around the country to encourage GOP electors to abandon the Republican.
The president-elect easily racked up the 270 electoral votes needed to send him to the White House. Interest in the normally mundane voting process spiked this year as opposition to Trump continues to fester, fueled by Clinton's success in capturing more than 2.6 million more votes than her Republican opponent.
Anti-Trump protesters descended on state capitols throughout the U.S. in a last-ditch effort to persuade so-called "faithless electors" in states Trump won to change their vote. Many of the Republicans casting ballots said they were inundated with calls and emails urging them to switch their votes.
All I can say is that we fought out little heart's out, but in the end I think this was all but a forgone conclusion.
The time to keep this megalomaniac out of the White House was back in November, and for a variety of reasons, most of them mistaken, people did not vote in sufficient numbers to make that happen.
For the record I will NEVER refer to this guy as President Trump, and when I do use the word "president" when referring to him it will always remain in lower case, because let's face it he is a tiny, insignificant, stubby fingered, vulgarian, and the title of "President" is too prestigious a title to ever apply to him.
We must never forget that he did NOT win this election.
He, his Russian puppet masters, the useful idiots of Wikileaks , and the FBI cronies, STOLE this election from, here let me take this term back, We The People.
He is not now, and never will be, my president.
And in four years we are coming to take our White House back from this Russian backed interloper.
Count on it!

He is just a porky orange guy with money. Nothing special.
ReplyDeleteUgh, hd is not kind to him. Can't watch tv when he is on. He is so ugly. Man the man is ugly.
ReplyDeleteHis lumpy bumpy ugly skin is worse than rhinoceros hide.
DeleteHe's repulsive.
Delete@5:01, on behalf of rhinoceri asses everywhere, I am offended. Rhino ass looks like the ceiling of the Sistine next to trump's ugly mug. He's like Sarah palin- they COULD be attractive if their ugliness didn't LITERALLY seep out from the inside.
DeleteSave what money you have and everything that comes in. They will come for your money.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but money will not help you. I expect it to be devalued sooner rather than later, kind of like during the early 1920s in Germany, when you needed (literally!) a wheelbarrow of money to pay for a loaf of bread.
DeleteYou'd be better off hoarding things that you might be able to barter with. And a gun and ammunition. Just make sure, you take some shooting classes, so you actually will be able to hit a target, and be determined to shoot, even when the target is a human being! ( I never imagined that I would ever say something like this!)
I got my generator, travel trailer, 30/30,ammo. I can knock down and gut a deer. Lots of remote property to retreat to. If i want,Canada will take me,I already checked. I'll grab my daughter and grandsons and head for the hills,if need be. NOT MY PRESIDENT.
DeleteJust go now 6:45 if you are that freaked out. BTW don't be surprised when Canada reverts to the far right in the near future. Kisses.

Deletehttps://weeklysift.com/2016/12/19/how-will-they-change-their-minds/
ReplyDeleteHow will they change their minds?
Trump voters made an enormous mistake, for their country and even for themselves. We can’t force them to see it, but maybe we can make it easier for them figure it out on their own.
No overseas jobs will be coming back to the USA. That's just more of dumpster's bs. Do you rilly think he'd pull his cheap suits and ties that are made in China? Fuck no that's just more lip service for dummies to get their votes. But,they will be losing their affordable health care that the insurers jacked their rates up on after they had to provide health care to pre existing conditions (all obama fault!!).Then,they'll have no insurance. SSI and Medicare will go away. There will be no jobs. Middle and lower income will be taxed heavier that ever to support the rich. Their kids will be drafted. Welcome to the New World Order,kiddies. When things start going to shit,just remember,you voted for him.
Delete.
No new coal mining either, even though Trump said get your shovels ready recently. Like he knows how coal is mined LOL He has a cartoon version of everything.
DeleteMy hope is that he screws up early and often and that he ends up not being able to do what he's promised. I do feel sorry for his low information voters though because they will be the ones hurt most because their circumstances are going to get worse not better. These are the same tea bag people screaming during the McCain/Palin run for the government to keep their hands off their medicare. No worries, it seems destined for the private sector along with primary education, social security and whatever expensive Obamacare the insurance industry decides it will offer you with zero government "interference".
My hope again, is that the Trump effect isn't long lasting and after he's gone, we are able to pick up the pieces and get back on course to a better country prepared to address 21st century needs and a better world with America leading by example.
Ok. Jan 20, auto dealers no more robots hire humans. Coal country hire workers tearup the earth. Corps and universities no more outsources to other countries. Way to go ec.

Delete7:52: +++!!!
DeleteThis doesn't just reply to Christmas and it should reply to everyone, but we all need to remember one simple and important life rule:
ReplyDeleteIt is crucial to leave your past completely in the past so it doesn't affect your future. And if youre someone who constantly attacks your friends or foes or complete strangers on something that happened yesterday, you need a serious adjustment. 1. You have no right to judge or talk about any other person. You will never know the feelings or thoughts of any other person.
I feel like way too many people have no understand of this pretty important lesson we all need to learn.
If a negative thought or a personal attack enters your mind, your automatic reaction should be "this helps NO ONE if it's said allowed." And it usually hurts the least expected.
Alicia? Sara? Drumpf?
Delete"this helps NO ONE if it's said allowed."
Un-fucking-presidented!
Aloud, idiot!
What the Fuck??
DeleteWell, we keep telling Alicia take her meds and it looks like she took all of them in one gulp.
DeleteFreak.
7:47 - Yup.
DeleteAlicia must camp out here. What a life. All she does is pen fabrications. She is a seriously mentally ill, dysfunctional, and freeloading pathological liar. Reality is beyond her grasp. She posts her nonsense far more than anyone else here posts.
Watch it,alicia. I hear they might be cutting off your disability check for the mentally unbalanced.
Delete"And if youre someone who constantly attacks your friends or foes or complete strangers on something that happened yesterday, you need a serious adjustment"...
DeleteThis is exactly what the orange idiot does on a regular tweeting basis. You were talking about him were you not?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone. Take care and stay healthy. Life is Good. Enjoy. Aloha.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but there is nothing to enjoy. The coming Trump apocalypse is going to hurt us all...even you.
DeleteSo, he got his 270.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they announce the totals?
How many Alexander Hamilton electors DIDN'T vote for him?
Was it 305? (With the one we know about changing their vote.) Or did more electors bail on Trump than we knew about.
How many?
Would be nice to have a few to rub in Trumpelthinskin's face along with that devastating loss in the popular vote.
At least five bailed on Hillary. Four of them from WA state.
DeleteThey didn't bail. It was an effort to inspire other electors. It was to show that an elector didn't have to vote for the opposition to change their vote.

#notmypresident will become president to the nazis, skinheads, palins, kkk, alt-rights, inbred, billies and to all the people who thinks the trumps really give a damn about them just like trump gave a damn about all those people who took their life savings, retirement money and whatever money they could beg, borrow or steal from family, friends and strangers. when #notmypresident shakes the hands of foreign diplomats, they better bring some handcleaner with them, no telling who's bush he just grabbed.
ReplyDeleteTrump wasn't about to give back the Trump University money without a judge telling him he had to.
DeleteI live on the fringes. Subsidized housing. Supplemental income. Food stamps.
ReplyDeleteWhen those programs are cut I have nowhere to go. If I could work I would.
I am not alone in this plight. We will die. It won't be pretty. History repeats itself. Rinse. Repeat.
I am truly sorry for you. There are many of us who will not make it through the next 4 years. I'm old, so it really doesn't matter that much...
DeleteEveryone who isn't going to make it needs to take to whatever media will broadcast their plight, and make sure it is known WHY we aren't going to make it.
Those of us who remember the Reagan administration should prepare for the trickle down economy on steroids. I remember my mortgage interest rate was almost 15%, we were always broke and lived below the poverty line. Good times! Thank goodness for the Clinton years. We are too old to live piss poor again. We were looking forward to retiring....
DeleteI am going to continue to call him Traitor trump.
ReplyDeleteI believe the United States of America is strong enough to survive the putin puppet.
I don't believe it is- at least not in our lifetime. Trump will fuck up the country so badly that it'll be a post-apocalyptic wasteland in one generation- he has already signaled his intention to do just that.
DeleteIf your country can be stolen so easily it's your electoral system that is wrong- and I believe it will only get worse now, becoming more corrupt and corruptible every year. This century began with an election stolen by a politically corrupt judiciary and pretty soon those will seem like the good old days of 'democracy'.
@4:58 Well with your doomsday outlook, everyone might as well just kill themselves.
DeleteI am going to be optimistic that the forces of good will find the truth and traitor trump will be ousted.
The New World Order and a world controlled by computers was something I remember out of the Mormon teaching when I was growing up.

ReplyDeleteDecember 19, 2016. The Day Democracy Died.
ReplyDeleteIt's black armband time.
One thing we need to remember. Without the electoral college, California, a yugely irresponsible state in terms of money and a state filled with hypocritical people, would control elections.
ReplyDeleteHillarys popular vote domination came solely from Cali. THAT is not democratic.
Not to mention, if you adds up the whole popular vote based on left or right side politics, including Libertarians on the right and Greens on the left, the right side isle wins the popular vote. Sorry lefties.
DeleteWhat are you talking about? I live on the east coast and I'm part of Hillary winning the popular vote by almost three million.
DeleteUhhhg, Califonia has a budget surplus right now. The northeast, Colorado, and New Mexico overwhelming voted for her, too.
DeleteBut ignorance feels good, doesn't it?
So California's aren't people? Their vote doesn't count? The Californians I know grow our food, invent our technology, and produce our entertainment. They pay taxes too!
DeleteNot true re the vote count, and also not true about CA in general--what is with the rest of this country always dissing CA when CA is where most of the best ideas and so many goods come from that help all of America prosper. Too funny.
DeleteYour comment plays well at the pee pond. Wander back over there.
DeleteIt's AISLE you Right-wing fuckwit.
DeleteNo, the Libertarian vote would not automatically go to Trump. Johnson's ticket was very--and they themselves said it repeatedly (and some of us actually followed the ticket and watched all their interviews and read up on a daily basis)--socially liberal, and less conservative than past Libertarian tickets when it came to money. The dang veep candidate all but resigned from the ticket in the last month. He kept saying positive things about Hillary (he knows her fairly well and worked with her) and pretty much just came out and endorsed her near the end. Johnson's vote would have, a number of pundits and writers articles agree, split in half. And Hillary would have won.
Deletethe right side isle wins the popular vote.
Delete------
I'd love to stick ya'll on your own isle..
@3:52 I sure hope English is your second language.
DeleteHow do you trump supporters communicate with each other when you can’t even write a couple of sentences in plain English?
Add in that Cali grows a large part of our food.
Deletelol. Keep crying little ones.
DeleteThat's funny, you stupid fuck.
DeleteCalifornia contains 12% of the US population, is the 6th largest economy in the world, and gives way more to the US in the way of taxes than it takes. A very large percentage of US agriculture comes from California, most states would struggle to eat were it not for California's contribution.
I want to reiterate 12%. OVER 1 in 10 Americans live in California, a country with 50 states. If you were to pick randomly for a pool af Americans, you'd probably pick someone who lives in California.
Sarah Palin can bring out her confederate flag. The Alt-Right Savior is about to get the keys to America and run her into the ditch right after getting a handful of Lady Liberty's hoohah.

Sarah Palin Quotes Kanye West’s ‘Gold Digger’ to Insult the New York Times
Yes, she’s quoting Kanye West’s “Gold Digger,” a 2005 collaboration with actor/singer Jamie Foxx. She tops short of quoting the actual lyric in its entirety, though, and that’s ostensibly because of what word comes next:
Now I ain’t saying she a gold digger
But she ain’t messing with no broke ni–as....
Must chap trump's ass that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost three million.
ReplyDeleteDid Donald congratulate Ivanka for becoming the new First Lady?
ReplyDeleteHe'll congratulate her in the bedroom of her choice. You know he's looking forward to strolling about the place with her and finding the perfect bedroom for his emotional incest mistress.
DeleteThere is a lot of irony to be had here. A lot. Hillary and her fan club are in the midst of a heavy blame game. Blaming everything and everyone else for her loss, instead of looking inward- it one of the absolute classic tell tale signs of diagnosing narcissistic behavior.
ReplyDeleteHow would you know?
DeleteI can accept Clinton's loss. I can't accept idiot drumpf's lack of knowledge, lack of qualifications, disgusting persona, his direct ties to Putin, his conflict of interest with his business holdings, his soft porn wife, his entitled children of the corn spawn, his 1% cabinet of political cronies, most of whom are unqualified and, of course, his fugly face and roadkill hair.
DeleteNo irony at all. Some people are just choosing to ignore anything and everything that Hillary and her surrogates and other supporters have been saying since 11/8. Just as she was required to basically come down from the mountain (not just once either but every damn day) with two tablets of commandments to show how she was going to help this country, while so little was asked of Trump, people are now basically requiring that she sit down in an electric chair and zap herself. Jesus Christ, this uneven demanding of everything from Hillary (and in large part because she's a woman) and nothing from Trump is getting old.
DeletePerfectly said, 4:45.

Does this mean Sarah will take what's left of the SarahaPac funds to buy a plane ticket to the inauguration, new hairpiece, ballroom dress, bigga titties, hooker shoes, limo fees and funds to pay for her room at the Trump Washington DC hotel?
ReplyDeleteI don't think she has enough left for all that. She may have to wear Brissy's white dress she wore on SNL.
DeleteNobody wants her around. She was even disinvited to a convention loaded with two-bit losers just like Sarah.
DeleteShe is definitely on the nose in Trump circles. Maybe they're afraid of what scandal her awful family will perpetrate that may bring yet another lingering smell to Trump.
She can watch it on TV like the rest of her little cult- but man the old hag will be even nastier in the morning.
I won't be watching but I'm sure I won't be able to avoid all the coverage the next day of Trump and his cronies making asses of themselves in the the least classy inauguration of all time.

Just read it. Yeah, those football players need to be protected at all costs. And if he doesn't play, well, Trump will find a place for him in his admin. It's disgusting that it's so difficult for a female who is raped and injured to get justice when the weapon is not a penis but another object, and with a male being sodomized it's no big deal--it's not rape. Some people only see rape when it involves a penis put inside a female's vagina, not elsewhere. And even then, half the time that isn't considered rape because, for example, she knew the guy. And if it's a woman and not a virgin child, so many people still see the rape as no big deal. What is with these idiots who are on juries and who are judges who just do not get it. Well, it was so obviously a hate crime--there is tons of proof--and so obviously a rape--again, proof. But now, I have to say that it's going to be up to some vigilante to see that justice is done. That punk and his buddy should spend every day of their lives afraid that someone's sneaking up behind them.
DeleteHonestly, I wish that tombstone were for Trump. His existence doesn't do this world any good. All we have seen is how it makes things worse. How can this pig of a human being get away with damaging so many lives, and now, according to this article, the victims of sexual assaults are likely going to have an even harder time under that pig's admin:

I am going to be intentionally harsh.
Just think of this as an example of evolution in action.
For half a century, the German people have been devoting themselves to fornication rather than procreation. They are suffering a demographic implosion as a result. In an effort to offset their rapidly dimishing workforce, they have been importing millions of Muslim migrants from Arrica and Asia without insisting that they assimilate. The muslim invaders are now revolting.
This terrorist attack is a natural consequence of the stupidity of the German people.
Wonder how James would explain the little white boys who shot up Sandy Hook, the black church prayer group, the AZ Giffords rally, Columbine, the CO movie theater massacre?
DeleteThose attacks were a natural consequence of the stupidity of the American gun culture that allows guns to be easily obtained by the mentality unstable, the angry and the ignorant masses.

James likes to encourage procreation in many of his comments. White procreation.

Well, James helped elect a Fornicator as POTUS of this grand Christian nation of ours. I do wonder how they justify that in their pea brains?
