It's as simple as this. The election was not legitimate. Trump was placed into the presidency.

[NRaleighLiberal]

Now, the key - who will have the courage to remedy this?

If it stands...it is permanent blot on our country, as well as an entry into untold disaster (which is already unfolding on a daily basis).

That is all.

[JHan]

1. The real capitalist establishment won

The moneyed interests , the fossil fuel Giants,etc. We will never run out of schadenfreude pie for the lesser of two evils people.

[DK504]

2. And will continue a pattern of treason and high crimes against the US.

[Golden Raisin]

3. And going forth there's gerrymandering,

election fraud/rigging (electronic and otherwise), and now a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. If worse comes to worse they'll endorse Trump's starting a war in N. Korea (or elsewhere) and then all bets are off.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. The remedy is frightening

Declaring the president illegitimate.

Declaring election tainted and therefor null and void.

Call for an election do-over.

Amazingly, that's the easy part.

Once those declarations are made, then what?

Who sits as president?

Who is our leader if we're attacked?

Who gets to decide all this? The Congress? Do we follow the Constitution and install Ryan until we get the rest in place? The Supremes? The Senate?

[gratuitous]

7. The remedy isn't frightening; it's non-existent (which may be more frightening)

There is no provision in the U.S. Code or the Constitution to nullify an election. That's not to say that Congress can't fashion legislation to address the possibility of a stolen election in the future, but the 2016 election is in the books. This isn't like the NCAA nullifying a school's victories or stripping a team of a championship years down the line for irregularities. It didn't occur to anyone that a major political party would sell out the country to a foreign country. As long as that party remains in power, there will be no remedy. We the people have to decide if we want to turn that party out of power or if we're comfortable with the new status quo.

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Indeed. Uncharted territory.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. The remedy is in the Constitution, and it is impeachment.

If we start going off of the Constitution, that sets an extremely dangerous precedent.

I think we're better sticking to the Constitution.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Majority winner Hillary should get it. The stolen election was by Republican TICKET. No Pres. Pence.

We will need lots of heavy duty Constitutional lawyering because this is uncharted territory with few if any real contingencies for this.

When it is proven that the election was stolen, the rightful President is the Majority winner Hillary Clinton.

If tRump resigns before the case is proven, Pence takes over, but his ticket and the Republican Electoral College win would by rights be erased and Hillary Clinton inaugurated when the case is proven.

[sharedvalues]

10. You can't say this enough times for me. Please keep it up!!!

Mensch claims president Hatch. I'll believe it when I see it.

[Plucketeer]

6. Yeah - where IS the outrage

and opposition??? I think the Rethugs show more visible/vocal opposition!

[byronius]

8. I'll be at the March For Science this weekend, and the March for Climate Change the next.

Big sign. Bigly.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. +1. I'll be marching for Science.

I need a sign or seven (might give some out). All I've come up with so far is

Reality Trumps Ignorance
There is no Planet B
Denial is Deadly / Climate Change is Real

https://www.marchforscience.com/satellite-marches/

[CrispyQ]

16. There is no Planet B

I like that.

[Plucketeer]

12. Serious Kudos to you!

The outrage I'm alluding to is that that I'd expect from our elected reps. Trumps in OBVIOUS violation of this, that and the other and we get NOTHING from our side but speculation as to how Bernie's trying to "screw us" again.

[Greybnk48]

9. Many of us are waiting for this to be remedied.

We have a ton of evidence apparently. WTF. Our country is permanently wounded if nothing is done.

[Alice11111]

14. Unfortunately, it seems to ne the norm since Bush v Gore.

They only win by various kinds of cheating.
Gore won.
Kerry was swiftboated, egregious lies.
Hillary would hsve won, but for the cheating, Comey, Russians, etc., although her camp fucked up a lot, she would habe still won.

Lots of permanent blots. Snowballing blots. Avalanches of blots.

[CrispyQ]

17. And each time the dems conceded.

The dems know the repubs lie, cheat & steal. I read Obama knew about the Russian collusion but didn't go public because he'd be accused of partisan politics. Are you fucking kidding me? So now we have Trump, who is working fast to dismantle everything Obama put in place. The dems pat themselves on the back with platitudes like "When they go low we go high," & now the GOP has their boot on our collective neck. Unless the entire upper leadership of the GOP is taken down, I don't see how the dems have any influence for decades, if ever.

[Alice11111]

18. Unfortunately, I agree. I think we can count on the Repubs

Fucking up, but it may not be before we are in a war.
IMHO, Obama should have gone public w that, or let Comey. He also should have appointed Merritt Garland as a recess appt. We will never know for sure why he didn't. Maybe he didn't want a fight he might lose at he end of his legacy. Certainly, as he said, he didn't want to appear ro influence the outcome of an election. Ironically, by doing nothing, he may have influenced it. My guess is, he thought Hillary would win, so he didn't think it was necessary.
No one discusses it. Unspeakable. I loved Obama too, and I was never so pround to be an American, but ,as they say, if we don't learn fom the mistakes of history, we are doomed to repeat them.

[CrispyQ]

20. But the dems don't seem to learn.

They keep playing by the same rules even though the repubs have thrown the rule book into the trash.

[Alice11111]

21. Yeah. It is a one way rule book

[Tatiana]

19. We have to think long-term strategy on this one.

Next time we have a Democratic President and control Congress, one thing we must do is add a couple of SCOTUS seats to remedy the seat stolen for Gorsucks.

Next, we need to pass legislation that assigns a stiff penalty to any candidate and/or campaign operatives found cheating, tampering with election equipment, colluding with foreign entities, etc.
