Really?


I don't remember 900 or 90 or 9 people protesting Barack Obama's inauguration even though many of us didn't think he was going to do a good job.


I will say this to the 900,000. What if you each took the 2 hours of time and did something constructive with it instead? Gave time to your local food bank or a charity? Etc. Instead of bellyaching.


Trump won. It's over.
Why does it bother you so much what other people do?

Read the 4th Amendment, and mind your own business.

Trump won and he is going to get criticized...a lot. So, get ready and get over it.

Comparing the American election of President Obama to the birther-in-chief puppet of Russian Oligarchs is a false equivalency. There will be constant reminders if this and close scrutiny of his actions so that his plethora of conflicts of interest will be constantly watched and monitored. Get over it.

Right. My feeling is that's a big reason why Obama has been all over the media doing interviews the past month. He's doing everything he can to shore up his legacy.

If Trump can help kick-start the economy into high rear and implement a health care system which a majority of the public approves Obama will end up being remembered for not much more than the first black president and the transgender bathroom wars.

Default Payback?

Sure the libs can make a lot of noise but that's it.

No use trying to compromise with them. The left made it quite clear it was going to be their way or the highway.

They were so certain Clinton was going to win, so smug.

But she lost and it's time for payback.

Thanks to Trump the Rep party has a strong opportunity to move the court firmly to the right for the next 25 years.
Payback? Is that what matters to you?

Democrats, just before the election results came in, were confident, not smug. The polls posted everywhere gave us confidence that Hillary Clinton would become the nation's first woman president. She was so far out ahead until the phony Comey report-that-wasn't, that it was natural to think she was going to win. Trump said himself he thought she was winning (though he may have known that his buddy, Vlad, would get him the Presidency, I don't know.)

There should have been—there still should be—a do-over. If you are confident that your guy will win, fine, if a new election is all above board, no Russian hijinx involved, no Comey cra*, then you may expect Democrats and others who voted for Hillary Clinton to accept the results if Trump then wins without the help of foreign powers. If Republicans win fair and square then we won't have this deep suspicion and conviction that there was foreign intervention in our election.

But it's like Watergate, with Tricky Dick at the helm now, so you must understand that it is not sour grapes on our part. We are deeply concerned with Donald Trump and how he "won" so many electoral votes. I don't believe for a moment that he won fair and square.

(And I am not a liberal.)

Paybacks a ***** and there's not going to be any "do over "

If any other republican had won, it wouldn't have been such a big deal. They would have been accepted and people would have moved on. But Trump going after our intelligence, NATO, EU and China while being in a bromance with Putin is very disturbing. And he's not ever president yet.
