I am in France ,but I sympathize .
ReplyDeleteI share on FB
elisabeth tubaut As goes the U.S., so goes the world (due to climate policy, military policy, regulation of businesses and Wall Street, etc).
ReplyDeleteGet over it. Hillary lost. Trump will be President. You can't stop it.
ReplyDeleteObviously, the peaceful transition of power only applies when the democrat candidate wins.
ReplyDeleteThe democrat party is not democratic. It is the party of large corporations, hollywood, foreign governments, the CIA, and the shareholders of the "federal" reserve.
It LOST because it openly wishes ruination and death upon the middle class, particularly white blue-collar workers.
It is nauseating that Clinton followers are STILL Pissing and moaning about her loosing. Christ Almighty people.....give up and accept the results. There isn't a damn thing that you whinning people can do, other than leave our country
ReplyDeleteDave that was easily the worst written post I have seen on the internet today. Please hire a monkey to spell check and edit.
ReplyDeleteJust as bad as trumps "unpresidented" tweet yesterday..
Who cares what you Jason. If I need a monkey, I'll let you know, you seem qualified, boy
ReplyDeleteDave thanks for confirming.
ReplyDeleteAnd good try at an insult.
Stephanie Han Sola Yes, as in the "leadership" of the republican party that, despite strenuous efforts, failed to prevent Trump's nomination.
ReplyDeleteRepubs. Tried to stop this prick. THEY KNOW HE IS UNFIT AND DANGEROUS. THEY WILL HAVE HIM IMPEACHED To save the repub party. Hope we live long enough to see it.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn Litteral typing in all caps does nothing but make you look like a psycho.
ReplyDeleteIf you voted for Hillary, you proved that you can be brought.....Hillary supports big banks and corporations, she supports wall street, and she supports war....you folks have a nice day
ReplyDeleteChris Park and voting for Trump doesn't? Oh, you are sadly, idealisticly, uninformed.
ReplyDeleteBirds of a feather.
Carolyn Litteral love trumps hate....right?
ReplyDeleteCarolyn Litteral haha haha killed him...
ReplyDeleteCarolyn Litteral huehuehue no subsidized studies for YOU! The day of the rope is coming...
ReplyDeleteTodd Selby Yes, thankfully, Hillary lost. If the Hamilton Electors succeed, Congress would select a qualified president. Names being circulated include former presidential candidates Jon Hunstman and John Kasich, both far more qualified than Trump.
ReplyDeleteJOE Vandeleur You're absolutely right about the Democratic Party. Their voter suppression, election fraud, collusion to subvert democratic choice, and 30-year record of neoliberal policies lost them independents (the largest share of voters, at 40%) and the election.
ReplyDeleteIf the Hamilton Electors succeed, Congress would select a qualified president. Names being circulated include former presidential candidates Jon Hunstman and John Kasich, both more qualified than Trump.
That is the role of the Electoral College, an integral part of our democratic process.
Remember the reality boys. Hillary did win 3 million votes more than repubs. So if traitor trump gets dumped it really should be the people's choice. Won't happen but it should be HILLARY.
ReplyDeleteDave The Democratic Party' failed in 2016 through their own acts of voter suppression, election fraud, collusion to subvert democratic choice, alienating the largest and most energetic share of their voter base. Furthermore, their 30-year record of neoliberal policies like trade deals and facilitating cheap foreign labor enabled Trump to criticize them FROM THE LEFT on protection of American labor. That's pretty pathetic for a supposedly liberal party that markets itself as being "for labor". Yet they trot out insults about "racism" to insult and bully into silence the Americans they've damaged for decades. Then they throw out the distraction of "Russians" as if they hadn't been caught red-handed with their own Democratic Party primary election utterly corrupted.
ReplyDeleteYet Trump has proven already that he lied profusely in claiming to represent us all His qualifications and judgement may come into question to a reasonable and rational person. That final opportunity for checks and balances is the role of the Electoral College, an integral part of our democratic process.
If the Hamilton Electors succeed, Congress would select a qualified president. Names being circulated include former Republican presidential candidates Jon Hunstman and John Kasich, both more qualified than Trump. At this point the Electoral College's vote has nothing to do with Democrats.
If establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell had any real reservations or second thoughts about Trump, they would be supporting this process. Maybe they are behind the scenes, but if a fair number of electors don't switch votes tomorrow, their supposed reservations about with Trump will be revealed as for show only.
Jeff Sullivan So in other words, NUTS to the primary and general-election voters who cast their ballots for Trump.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's certainly "democratic". After all, a fellow who'd be running as the democrat candidate in the 1960 presidential election is simply unacceptable to the sensibilities of 20th Century "liberals".
Carolyn Litteral If establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell had any real reservations or second thoughts about Trump, they would be supporting this process.

ReplyDeleteThey do however want to distance themselved from him slightly, so when something really bad happens, they can at least say, See, I told you!"
Jeff Sullivan Trump named McConnell's wife to transportation Secretary.
ReplyDeleteJussayin
Jeff Sullivan Do a YouTube search for Clif High and Web Bot. His predictive linguistics program forecasted not only Trump's victory in the general, but also predicted that there would be an attempt to appoint a president and that it would fail.
ReplyDeleteAt least those who voted against the democrat party in 2008 and 2012 had the DECENCY to accept the election results, regardless of how reprehensible they found it.
Chris Park One of the better assessments of the election:
ReplyDeleteHostile Takeover
"Cue the music, roll the camera and the flag. The people have spoken. Our democracy lives. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people is not perished from the earth."
"Which might have been the case had Bernie Sanders been on the ballot. He wasn’t, and neither was democracy. What was on the ballot was plutocracy, complacently stupefied and transparently corrupt at the top of the Republican and the Democratic ticket. Two gold-plated names on the same boardroom door, both candidates representative of and privileged by a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich that for the last thirty years has been arranging the country’s political and socioeconomic affairs. The election campaign was the struggle for control of corporate management, Hillary Clinton seeking to fend off a hostile takeover by Donald Trump, the lady and the lout both standing foursquare and true blue for the freedom of money, steadfast and vigilant against the freedoms of movement and thought."
"Clinton lost the election because she tried to pretend what she was not—a caring friend of all the people, ardent believer in the rule of law. She could talk the prerecorded talk, but she couldn’t walk the walk, her prior record, like her every move and gesture, showing her to be in it for herself, deserving of the deference owed to the Queen of England, the jack of diamonds, and the ace of spades."

Jason West what is your point?....never said I voted for trump....you really shouldn't worship mortals
ReplyDeleteJeff Sullivan You're misdirecting your energy and playing into the mindset in which the ruling class seeks to entrap you and others.
ReplyDeleteThe national debt doubled under the regimes of Bush the Younger and his hand-picked successor.
Do you know how currency is created?
What a mess it is. Repubs. Tried everything to get rid of him and now have to embrace him. The tainted election put many in so for now they play the game. But they will impeach him as they too know he is deranged and unfit to be in the peoples house. He fits the diagnostic criteria of serious mental illness. They know it and will get him out one way or another. It would save us a lot of time and money if electors would respect the real process and vote him out now. Bit if he does what baby bush did to stay in office war we are stuck with the moron.
ReplyDeleteChris Park you made it seem as if only Hillary supports big banks, wall street, and corporations, and war. Both candidates do/did.
ReplyDeleteThe needs of the many override the wants of few or the legacy of the one....
ReplyDeleteJason West well who voted for the last one? I would've voted no. Know why, because Iraq wasn't a threat to nobody
ReplyDeleteJOE Vandeleur Printing press? What was Obama's contribution after the financial crisis? The Republicans presided over the crash, but didn't the deregulation occur under Bill Clinton? Seems like the two parties are two halves of a whole.
ReplyDeleteWhat are your thoughts on where to go from here, today, right now?
I watched Chris Hedges predict a possible overturning of the election by the electors over a month ago, and at the time I couldn't quite decide if that would seem like a coup.
http://m.truthdig.com/report/category/hedges
In the weeks since, Trump's choices have been so bad, I'm about ready for that coup.
Be careful of what you wish for.....you just might get it
ReplyDeleteJOE Vandeleur Tricky thing, this free speech stuff. Four million of Hillary's supporters signing a petition accomplished nothing. It's like Hillary said about the NoDAPL pipeline protestors recently... (paraphrasing) "Let them protest, just don't get in the way of business." Whatever is planned for us, it'll happen no matter what we say or do.
ReplyDeleteChris Park I was ready to hope for the best after Trump was elected. I'm trying to be more careful about what I wish for now, after seeing cabinet and agency picks the couldn't be worse jokes if Saturday Night Live made them up.
ReplyDeleteJeff Sullivan "In the weeks since, Trump's choices have been so bad, I'm about ready for that coup."
ReplyDeleteThey haven't done ANYTHING yet as they're not in their respective offices. You are pre-judging; isn't that abhorrent to "thoughtful" individuals?
A coup means bloodshed with most of it spilling from INNOCENT people who have never wished you harm.
Are you proud of what you're becoming?
JOE Vandeleur "They haven't done ANYTHING"? You can't be serious. Trump said he'd represent all Americans, the majority of whom want action on climate change. It's not like Trump's appointments don't have clear records on that to examine, as this 2007 quote demonstrates:
ReplyDelete"As further evidence of the company's insincerity, Exxon's chief executive and CEO Rex Tillerson, on Friday told world leaders in Davos that oil companies should not be held responsible for global warming. The blame, he argued, rests instead with the very consumers and government officials his company has spent millions of dollars manipulating and defrauding"
Good thing you like Rex so much, because he's sending the cost, resulting from ExxonMobil's actions, to you.
Jeff Sullivan NONE of the appointees have done anything in their FUTURE posts. I reserve judgment as I've done with previous administrations.
ReplyDeleteState where I "like" Tillerson.
The gravest threat to humanity isn't climate change; it's the debt, which is also the currency supply. The first-world concerns of 20th Century "liberals" will disappear as quickly as food from the shelves when just-in-time distribution breaks down as credit freezes.
JOE Vandeleur Don't worry about the debt. Donald named David Friedman to bring Israel and the U.S. closer together.
ReplyDeleteWhile Friedman doesn't have any experience in foreign policy, he IS Donald's bankruptcy lawyer.
Good advisor to have.
Jason West There's a marked difference between corporate-debt default and sovereign-debt default, especially when the latter doubles as the world's reserve currency.
ReplyDeleteIt's no coincidence that the central banks of Russia and China, along with affluent individuals, are hording monetary metals.
Jeff Sullivan In case you missed it.
