(813 posts)He's embarrassed, but doesn't recognize the emotion. You have to have a conscience to realize you are embarrassed by something you did.

(16,110 posts)Suppression is what elected this guy. Approx. 300k people turned away from the polls just in Wisconsin on election day.
Crosscheck removed countless others from the rolls.
Voting machine "malfunctions" in heavily Democratic areas.
Polling places closed, primarily in Dem. leaning areas.
All sorts of propaganda.
And finally, this could all have been overcome if we could get that nearly half of eligible voters who don't get out and vote to do so.
The only way they could win was by cheating. And they still lost the popular vote by a large amount.
Never forget this.

(23,239 posts)You are absolutely correct on every point you made! Without these things, and the Russian hackingand the Electoral College, he wouldn't have made it. But in the end, enough people were stupid enough to vote for him to put him over the top.
Now we have to figure out WHY they were so stupid, and how we can overcome it in the future.

(16,110 posts)are the ones who are so filled with hate that they prefer the chosen candidate of the KKK.
They are the evangelicals who are so morally deficient that they voted en masse for a guy who embodies every moral failing they say they are against.
And finally, some of them are just profoundly stupid.
They are not, however, a majority of people in this country.
We need to reach the people who do not vote. If we can turn non-voters into voters, even in a small percentage of cases, we can win.
Oh, and we need our mouthpieces on TV to be loud and consistent in messages. They need to call out lies as lies. We need our own propaganda, true though it may be, we need the right TYPE of messaging.

(44,130 posts)ftom the destruction this republican controlled Congress is about to unleash to whatever this thin skinned lunatic might bring down upon this country and the World. It's scary and unnerving.
People are going to die, whether it's from lack of health. care or no access to bealth screens for early detection through PP or from wars they will start or from eased environmental projections or from not being able to afford life saving prescriptions because they blew up Medicare and cuts SS benefits....people are going to die.
And these heartless bastards in control soon, ARE RELISHING BEING ABLE TO ENACT THEIR PURELY EVIL AGENDA ON US ALL!. THANKS tRump voters.
Paladin
(28,262 posts)He's not going to change his bull-in-a-china-shop ways. He's going to end up doing things so badly and pissing off so many people and putting this nation in such jeopardy, that he'll be impeached out of office. All I want right now is for Democratic lawmakers to get busy, capitalizing on Trump's innumerable flaws and thereby rebuilding the party. I want my country back.

(28,798 posts)and certain clinton administration people begged condi rice and gw to take the threat of a terrorist attack seriously, and they yawned at them and said, we're in charge now, off with you?
and fucking 911?
well it sure is not going to surprise me if there's a rerun of that episode with drumpf and his crew.
gw, after a briefing, reportedly said, okay you've covered your ass now.
which is all the intelligence community can do at this point and i hope they are very strong and cognizant of what a clear and present danger he and his hangers on are, not just to national security, but to the very stability of this nation.

(21,744 posts)In spite of claiming to be unpredictable, Trump is totally predictable and they know he would retaliate to any terrorist attack, killing thousands of people. This, of course would turn most of the world against us and lead to another unwinnable war.
The destruction of America would be complete.

(63,868 posts)Priebus wants no venting of appointees and Mitch McConnell has his hand in this too. This is NOT about us being sore losers and telling us to grow up. This is about our country.
Just a suggestion call your reps and senators up and speak out about this. This filthy administration wants to ram their agenda and their unqualified appointees to be confirmed quickly also they do not disclose their financial assests. Fuck that.
Also please read this article/interview that was on Democracy Now. We are dealing with a madman.

(7,963 posts)He doesn't want to touch the backing because of his putin overlord. He is protecting putin. Not himself.
He needs to be impeached QUICKLY.

(878 posts)Get any Congressperson's fax, and send them a free fax by internet(use the cover page for your letter to make it real easy) and expressyour concerns with something that is printed out. Can't hurt, but we know it helps! This service will let you send it for free if message is short. I use the cover page as I don't have lots to say.

(12,165 posts)Much to his chagrin, in America we have free speech. There are more people don't believe him than do.
Priebus is an outright liar and we will continue calling him out on it.
