I'm sure my boss is gonna love this!
" I'm sure my boss is gonna love this!"

Trump IS THE BOSS!

So, if someone in that meeting called you a racist and are not fit to work here, you would just sit there with your mouth shut and take it?

If you say you would, I wouldn't WANT you as an employee of mine.

Governing without the consent of the governed is a tough row to how. It isn't helping matters that Trump keeps shooting himself in foot, stopping only long enough to reload.
The rest of us often wonder what Color the Sun is - in your world.

The EC did it's job - the less populated States all voted and Mr Trump WON 74 more Electoral Votes than Clinton.

The "technicality" you refer to is call the US Presidential Election and Mr Trump WON 5 States that Obama WON and Hillary Clinton ignored. She was a very, very Flawed Candidate with no message other than "Trump Bad & anyone who votes for him is an Irredeemable Deplorable & Non-Patriot. The Democratic Party is decimated after 8 years of Obama - That's not speculation or rhetoric -- that's a FACT. There are now only 15 States with Democrats for Governors, the Senate and the House are in GOP hands, over 1,000 seats/positions LOST by the Democratic Party and only 5 State Legislatures remain in full control by the Democrats.

The Citizens didn't JUST vote only for Donald Trump .... they voted all across the USA for Republicans.
That's not 1/3 and it's not a "technicality"

Does John Lewis represent those zip codes? Do the zip codes that John Lewis represents have "booming growth, numerous F500 companies and some of the best universities in the country". Do they have a "plummeting crime rate and huge investments"? OR are they the poorest, crime ridden zip codes in Atlanta?

Tell us all the great things that John Lewis has done for the zip codes that he Represents.

Ford only because Nixon resigned (and Ford wasn't even elected as Vice President). Bush's election was disputed and came down to those infamous hanging chads (though subsequent full recounts showed that he probably would have taken Florida). It's the process and respect for the institution that should matter most in the end.

So, yeah, calling Trump a non-legitimate President is idiotic (deepening political divisions). Likewise, it's equally idiotic for Trump to keep pushing back against Russian interference in the election (alienating the intelligence community). I doubt that Russian interference was definitive but even if so - it does not matter at this point. There's no redo.




I agree that Russian interference - assuming any at all - would likely not have tipped the scales since what was exposed through WikiLeaks was already believed to be true (Hillary team cheating and attempting to steal the election) before it was verified by the Podesta e-mails.


I also don't think the illegally leaked Trump tax return did the damage the leakers hoped it would because it's just common sense to take advantage of every tax break available.


The help Hillary got from Ukrainian officials, CNN, etc. also seems to have fizzled.


Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire - POLITICO

Only about a fourth of eligible voters voted for Trump and only about a third of Americans approve of him at the moment.

All the crybaby-snowflake-get-over-it jabbering does not change the fact that Trump does not have the support of the majority of Americans.

Democracies are based on honest elections/consent of the governed.

What is unclear about this?

Are these "approval ratings" as accurate as all the polls leading up to election night? Let me know.

Are you saying that the current approval ratings are incorrect?

Are you maintaining that the Trump does have approval of the majority of Americans?

The only reason he has a job is because he is still cashing in on one event 50 years ago. When does that well run dry??? Lewis is an idiot who would be mopping floors somewhere if not for that.

The MSM sets the tone. Doesn't mean it's the fact. Just as we saw on election day.
