This is beyond gaslighting - it is beyond being punked. Think about it -

[NRaleighLiberal]

Even with interference (hacking?) from Russia essentially verified, we still see infighting about the election outcome - nitpicking on vote numbers in states, lamenting not showing up at the polls on election day, it's Bernie, it's Hillary, it's the far left, it's independents.

IT IS RUSSIA. Hillary simply was not going to win the election - she would not be allowed to win.

Then we have the deranged creamsickle throwing endless shit at the wall that is each day - because it is all about him. It is all about the attention - there is no bad attention - it is just what he craves.

But - this is now so far beyond WTF, so far beyond FUBAR, into pure, demented evil - it is about simply taking everyone and everything - including the earth - down with him - down with them. There are elements of racism, of course - about erasing the "black man's legacy".

But this is all about the hijacking of our country by Russia via Trump. I suspect the root cause is a combination of money, power, and feeding the sick, narcissistic mind of the orange object.

I am so beyond pissed off, so beyond "I've had it" - there simply are no words left.

And I've not even raised the role that the "sports analogy" eye ball and click media played - and plays - in all of this.

But it is truly sick.

2. Everybody eventually dies....and he can't take the money with him.....

[leftstreet]

3. He's like those creeps who shoot their families, then themselves

And you keep wondering, Jeez why didn't this sick fuck just kill himself?

Trump's spitefulness means he wants to take everyone down with him

[stuffmatters]

13. exactly

[babylonsister]

4. You're not alone. He needs to

be forced off the world stage and silenced; nothing less will do.

[dalton99a]

5. And the GOP is ok with it.

[Squinch]

6. It is all that you say, and tonight is one of those nights I feel fury. But we can't

let ourselves be demoralized. We all have to keep fighting and when something like this happens, we have to fight harder.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. I know, I know - but the temptation to completely disconnect and check out grows strong

on days like this!

My view of humanity in general is pretty low right now - happens when our potential flaws are laid so bare.

[Squinch]

10. I'm thinking tomorrow, I'm going to make some phone calls - one to my mayor asking

that he make a public statement like the one Pittsburgh's mayor made, one to my governor (Cuomo) thanking him for the new United States Climate accord, and a few to Rachel's sponsors thanking them for sponsoring her.

And then I'm going to stay away from any news.

This is the ultimate narcissist's wet dream, where everyone is attending to his every whim. I'm going to take my attention away from him and re-charge.

[LaydeeBug]

8. thank you. It. is. Russia. nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. Even here, that point gets lost so often. We need laser focus on that simple fact. Russia.

[Squinch]

11. Putin's comment today that "maybe it WAS some private Russian citizens after all" seems to indicate

that something might come out soon.

[LaydeeBug]

21. I thought the exact same thing too. nt

[Initech]

12. Putin is about world domination.

And it starts with disruption of the European Union and crippling the world's largest army and government. Who knows where it goes from there?

[SJMULE]

14. Fuck Ivanka and Jared

News is she called many CEO's to implore her diseased father to remain in the Paris Accord. Of course she didn't show up to work today to see her diseased father throw away any leadership role in the world.
Truth is she is a selfish bitch who will undoubtedly have a SAD that this was the straw that broke the camels back to her status in NY high society. She will be shunned by the artists and left leaning socialites whose attention she and Jared crave. I hope they suffer the same fate in NYC that Madoff's sons did.

17. Righteous!

15. Russia is all about destabilizing the Western World.

In a pitiful attempt to fit all this into a semblance of a nutshell, those are my words. Forget everything else, and look at that goal and the effect of events on so far on said goal.

It's not a time to be being petty, or childish. It's a time for the best and brightest among us to rise up and come to their senses. We need to unite and fight this before our losses are insurmountable on a local and global level.

We're in a very bad way here, and most people in the US are only paying glancing attention to our predicament, if that. Which is another thing we need to wake up to, everyone isn't as tuned in and evolved as we are. No matter what you may think, most people don't really give a flip until the bottom falls out from under them. Then, and only then, do they look for someone to blame, and it's very often not the entity responsible for their demise due to their ideological mental blocks. <----- I know this doesn't make sense, but it's still a statistically proven fact.

[Kimchijeon]

16. I am wondering why so many think Russia is

The "ooga booga Big Bad" when clearly it's just plain old usual Corporate fucks who are just blatantly running the government. They don't give any fucks, and are probably laughing at just how easily misled we are.

[Bradical79]

19. Russia interfered in the election

There are Russian assets in the White House. How can you not understand?

22. Its hard to get people to see what they are determined not to see nt

18. I'm fucking pissed off and have been since Nov 8! But I an NOT taking it lying down!

After a few days I heard John Oliver tell me how he felt and it made me feel better, then Sam Bee and Keith and within 10 days I attended my first protest. I have been signing petitions, gone to 5 rallies so far, writting and calling TV, media, and congressmen, donating small amounts to newly formed dem groups, hand making anti-tRump bumperstickers, pins, earrings, and spending hours each day doing this . It makes me feel like I am doing something or else I'd get drunk or stoned everyday to forget the black cloud hanging over my country. Being part of the resistance energizes me and drives me to do more. I encourage others to do the same. I don't have too much longer to live (that's the silver lining...I won't have to live through 4 more years of the fake prez). But if I can give it all I've got before I get too sick then I will die with pride in my soul. RESIST!

20. I think Americans have become surrender monkeys
