US Election: 2016

A generation of androgynous cry babies will do that to a society. I don't like something therefore it cannot exist  :

I guess so. I'm old enough to remember watching the race riots and draft protests on TV in the 1960's. Nothing new about that.
But, protests and riots against a president-elect is new to me.

Its an example how far left the democrats have gone. For me they are not any different than the communist party in tactics if nothing else.

Hey T6-

I would like to highlight the fact that you called the Trump win, right here in this thread, weeks ago when conventional wisdom held that he was finished.

You sir, are quite the political prognosticator!

 

[observor 69]

Mr.Trump won the primary and presidential election because he was like no presidential contender before.
People are demonstrating in the streets, post election, because he said things like no presidential contender before.
Standing by to see how this develops.

My wife's nephew placed a wager in a betting shop that Donald would take the day, wish I could have done the same.

Still, credit where due - well called.

Meanwhile, oopsie ...

The Australian prime minister on Monday confirmed that he did not tell President-elect Donald Trump that the United States had agreed to resettle an unspecified number of refugees languishing at Australia's expense in Pacific island camps.

In announcing the deal on Sunday, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull would not say whether he had discussed it with Trump during their telephone conversation on Thursday.

"We deal with one administration at a time and you don't discuss confidential matters with one administration with a future administration," Turnbull told Nine Network television.

Turnbull could not say whether the refugees would be resettled before the Trump administration takes over on Jan. 20. The numbers and timing would be decided by the United States.

The Obama administration had agreed to resettle refugees among almost 1,300 asylum seekers held at Australia's expense on the island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea. Another 370 who came to Australia for medical treatment and then refused to return to the islands would also be eligible.

Trump has called for a moratorium or tight restrictions on Muslim immigration. Most of the asylum seekers are Muslims from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Turnbull said negotiations on the deal began with a conversation he had with President Barack Obama in January.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed that the United States had "agreed to consider referrals" from the United Nations refugee agency on Australia's refugees.

"We are going to work to protect vulnerable refugees around the world, and we'll share that responsibility with our friends in the regions that are most affected by this challenge," Kerry told reporters in New Zealand ...

Let's see how THAT goes ...

Even a very cursory look at the voting over the last three elections shows what happened. Democrat voters chose to stay at home. The failed to muster almost five million voters over 2012, and nine million over 2008. The Republican numbers stayed mostly flat over the same time period. I'm sure there are a number of reasons why Democrat voters failed to show up at the polls. It would seem they only have themselves to blame.

                    2016     2012   2008

Republicans 60265858 60933504 59948323
Democrats         60839922 65915795 69498516

Voting Rate 56.1           54.9     58.2

Why bother? You're still going to lose.

"All the ballots haven't been counted yet, but it looks like Hillary Clinton really did win the nationwide popular vote -- if not the presidency -- by a considerable margin."

"As I often tell you, we all live in our own movies inside our heads. Humans did not evolve with the capability to understand their reality because it was not important to survival. Any illusion that keeps us alive long enough to procreate is good enough.

That’s why movies, love, etc., nonsense novels, soap-crap, reality TV, etc., are part of popular culture world wide....Was advised: No matter what great U have achieved in life, a good portion of individuals are figments of their own imagination, when U get down too the nuts & bolts... Per Say: Many believe their better then others while standing on their height horse in morality, we're all born and die sooner or later the same way....

Maybe the Liberals should stop crying, quit rioting and get on with their lives?

Although your certainly right, the problem is one needs too stop the ones that are feeding, organizing the frenzy, while many are calling on Clinton too address her supporters in quelling the roots of a rebellion.... :argument:

Only seen this in third world or Banana republic states, in all US elections yet too see, and this is just the start supposed tooo intensify by EC vote on Dec., 19th.


When U thought the White House could not get any whiter, S. Bannon is in the house as El Presidente Elect, D.J. Trump chief adviser, etc.
While many state Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee and a loyal campaign adviser, to be his White House chief of staff, was a wise choice, however, Priebus and Bannon will be equals.......

With a population of 330 million, and over 120 million voters, who cares that a small bunch of snowflakes protest. It's a free country. Look at some of the video feeds. Some groups are less than 200, some less than a thousand. Portland Ore - look at the photos of the 71 recently arrested http://www.kgw.com/news/local/anti-trump-protesters-march-for-fifth-straight-night/351400705 and make your own assessment.

Your right, make no mistake for now its thousand across America have been protesting since Trump won, each day, and that's how the majority of news are reporting....

Yes might be small and hope it stays that way, however this might escalate, like a small crack on a dam if you don't fix it might get bigger.

Anti-Trump protests stretch into fifth day..
On Saturday, 8,000 people took to the streets in Los Angeles. The march was peaceful, unlike a Friday night protest by 1,000 people that resulted in the arrests of 187 adults and eight juveniles, Los Angeles police said.

Your quoting the media, CNN???

They did not have a clue that Trump was going to win. They did not read the pulse of the voters. Out of touch. They could not see past their big liberal nose. So why believe anything from them especially CNN. A CNN employee gave Hillary at least two questions to be prepared for in her debate with Bernie.

Thousands. Wow. 160 + million voters. I wonder if any of these rioting snowflakes even voted or worked for the election of a candidate.

News reporting- If it bleeds it leads.

Obama and Clinton are being asked to put an end to the protests by their paid agitators.

http://theweek.com/speedreads/661787/conway-says-obama-clinton-sanders-must-calm-paid-antitrump-protesters

In interviews Sunday with NBC's Chuck Todd and Fox News' Chris Wallace, Kellyanne Conway said it is the responsibility of Democratic leaders to quiet protests of President-elect Donald Trump. She also suggested at least some of the protesters are paid professionals intentionally fomenting turmoil.

Trump's former campaign manager and a key member of his transition team, Conway told Todd it is "time really for President Obama and Secretary Clinton to say to these protesters, 'This man is our president.'" With Wallace she made the same point in regards to Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, adding that it is their supporters who are "masquerading as protesters now — many of them professional and paid by the way, I'm sure."

Looks like a lot of OT for Ottawa P.D.

Ottawa police are already concerned about security for a Trump visit
http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/city-hall-blog-a-trump-visit-to-ottawa-isnt-like-an-obama-love-in-for-police

“(With) Obama, it’s a love-in and the two visits we had with President Obama were very positive. I think the dynamics with a person like Trump is totally different that we have to factor into our planning assumptions and the potential (for) demonstrations or activities on such a visit.”
Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau
