The vote was close in those states. It could have been just Comey, but had Clinton done what I said in my post above, she would not have had to worry about Comey.

Trump won because he ran an awesome campaign as a strong candidate.

Remember, he got both parties to underestimate him. That is a serious reality distortion field.

Sun Tzu and Machiavelli would be proud.

That is a legitimate concern, Tim. We don't want the constant neocon push against Russia. But we don't want Russia ruling us either.

You are fucking moron!!! He has every right to have a picture with his daughter. He's proud of her. That's what dads do you fucking asshole!

Don't know who you are referring too. But Trump went on Howard Stern and said he would date his daughter if it were not his daughter. Fathers don't normally say that about their daughters. Trump is aby normal.

The 11 million criminals don't count in the scheme of Ameircan population in relation to voter turnout.

Silly fucking Liberals Tricks are for Kids!

Tim Aurora says

And Russians took care of all that stuff. Finally it is OK to hack your opponent without a "Watergate" scandal as long as you cozy up with your biggest foe and let him do the job for you. Trump is indebted to them and the Russians will ask their pound of flesh sooner or later. In one stroke US went from the #1 country in the world to #3 ( after Russia and China). Oh well at least White voters are happy about it.

Not only is this unproven but it is false. Russia repeatedly said it didn't hack that server, and Wikileaks actually identified some of its sources, one of who Hillary had murdered in a D.C. Park. Maybe that is also not proven but it is super suspicious!
This blame the Russians game was a strict neocon ploy since nobody else found it credible. I felt that Putin and Russia have shown remarkable restraint over the last four years as Obama and his crew of misfits has poked the bear in an attempt to provoke hostilities. As I've said before, we need strong friends, not enemies. Hillary would have continued the War Party of the Rich's goals. Trump may offer the olive branch that's needed to begin working with strong nations like Russia rather than entering into pointless conflict.
This neocon shadow war resulted in the total destruction of Syria, the rise of ISIS, and he genocide of millions of innocents. How anyone with a conscience can justify their positions is an example of how well people are at lying to themselves.
Gary especially is guilty of this. He professes to love semites but supports the neocon adventurism that destroys nation after nation in the Middle East.

Ok Ironman, you blocked me and then set up Ironworker. I don't care what you do. I have agreed with some of the things you say and some I don't. Grow up.

Ivanka is a hot chick who married a rich Jewish guy and has 3 kids. Shows you what a bad father Donald is.

Meanwhile, I would not be surprised if Lena Dunham or Amy Schumer end up like Margeret Cho.

Ironman says

The biggest drop was on the Dem side, both in the Primaries and the General..

Here's a hint, next time don't run such SHITTY Dem candidates!!

Don't run a crook.

He's draining the swamp !

Ironman says

What are you fucking kidding me???

After $900 Million in donations, All of the Dems on her side, half of the GOPe on her side, all the major MSM, a the steady stream of lies on social media, all liberal schools, dishonest DNC, she still couldn't pull it off.

Hell, she started with a "Gimme" of 203 in the Electoral College and ended up with 228. She virtually didn't convert any toss up state.

With all the tailwind that she had, you call that "amazing"???

You really are a special type of stupid!

Whatever you say dude. Reality really isn't your forte.

Yeap, if Trump does all the stupid stuff that Republicans wanted to do, it will be the last election in which Republicans win anything.

Turning out to be just like Obama, lots of promises.

tr6 says

Turning out to be just like Obama

I believe OBama had intentions, maybe call them naive. Trump is a con artist and knows it. So he's much quicker to let the promises go. He'll work the PR angle hard (with the right wing media) regarding changes to OBamaCare and "securing the border." While in reality, he will just be continuing the work Obama was doing on both of these issues.

Obama was basically fairly conservative but dressed up as a liberal. Hopefully, Trump will be the opposite. It's funny if you think about it.

bob2356 says

Actually she ran a pretty amazing campaign

And she still lost? What a loser.
She would have won if she was tough on the terrorists. Instead, she was a pussycat when it came to Islamic extremism, just like Obama.

Had the RNC been ran by Debbie Whatsherface Slutz Jeb Bush would be President elect today.
Trump has a way or rewarding honest people who do right by their job.

Reince allowed every GOP hack and Never Trump Butthurt scumbag to fly shit up the pole to see if it got legs.
He represented every Republican not just Donald Trump. He did not allow a few man committee unilaterally railroad Donald Trump in spite of the Primary voters.

He did good, I'm proud of every post and nothing is surprising me. A travesty would be Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney being his administration. These are the Guys we all talked about at Breitbart in the Diqus comments, and said we hoped they got spots in his administration. Trump has been doing a wonderful job of listening to his supporters. You Shitbirds mean nothing to Donald Trump when he is considering his staff.

I gotta tell you, Rinse Pubics was under immense pressure to rig it for the GOPe.

"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

After all, Obama appointed Hitlary Secretary of State.

Funny the Left just ignored the 12 million votes that went to the third parties.

Considering how that appointment worked out for him and his legacy, I wonder if he might have done better to name her or Bill Ambassador to the UK. For the current transition and the next Chief of Staff, former Mayor Giuliani or someone from within the Trump family might have been more encouraging.

Preibus was fair and in the end never faltered . That is the kind of man you want-loyal but fair when all hell breaks loose. Looks like the dems haven't learnt their lesson and live in their delusions-hey have fun.

Yep, all the Bernie supporters stayed home. That's why the Democrats lost both the House and the Senate.

Translation: Don't run anyone that the right wing media has been demonizing for decades, even if the demonizing is 95% horseshit.

And if you're going to run a woman, it might not be quite time yet, unless its a republican. A republican woman could pull it off, you know, becasue the other side (democrats) are a bunch of pansy humanists that will probably go along with it, in fact, possibly just becasue it's a woman.

Ok I gave in and made a couple stupid patnet comments even with your motion to boycott I couldn't resist either

I gave up on that. Didn't think anyone was going along with it.

Drunks having another drink.

I don't think he will drain the swamp. I said this before the election. He is surrounding himself with swamp people. Breitbart guy has been relegated to cleaning the bathrooms.

He just said on 60 minutes that they'll build a wall, and after that deport criminals, and make decisions on other illegals.

Gary.. You need SERIOUS mental health treatment. Really Seriously!!! Like STAT....

Sorreeeee. It wasn't you. I don't know who Ironworker is.

Ironman says

Really??? Fathers can't say that their daughters are attractive and a good catch for a guy?

Yeah, I see nothing wrong with a father saying his daughter will be a good catch for a potential boyfriend and husband. But that wasn't what he said. He said she would be a good piece of ass and that he would date her if she were not his daughter. There is a certain lack of respect in that statement and it goes over the line. You have to admit that Ironman. It crossed the line.

Most fathers don't refer to their daughters as a "piece of ass."

Ok. so let's throw him away as president..
And have...Hillary?
U sure about that?

Hey Dennis.. fuck off. You are not part of this community.
Na na na na... na na na na. Hey hey hey goodby!

Hey, Trump understands Cognitive Dissonance as a weapon. More power to him.

They just wanted taxes on the wealthy go go even lower, and for the SCOTUS to become more right wing.

What I want to know is what is the right wing media that TPB listens to and reads going to bitch and whine about now ? My guess ? Eventually, it's going to have to be Trump !!

So many "dislikes" on above posts. I sense enemy action.

Daddy says telling alcoholics they are drunks will generate a plethora of denials.

I don't think so. Even though the Repubs control all three branches of government and 34 states, when it all goes to hell it will be spun on FOX and Breitbart as the fault of "liberals".

And of course their dimwitted followers will swallow it, hook, line, and sinker.

Laci has great tits. I love it when she puts the camera at a 45 degree angle for maximum effect and talks about misogyny with her ample chest heaving.

She's just another attention whore.

This women is so clueless it defies the imagination. The wealthy don't pay estate taxes. Upper middle class people who own a great house and a successful business pay estate taxes. The wealthy put their money into private charitable foundations, tax free, and the children get the foundation tax free. All income the foundation generates is tax free. The creator of the foundation can continue to put unlimited amounts of tax deductible (and free of estate tax) money into the foundation. The only requirement is to spend 5% a year of the assets on charity, which is almost always less then the income of the foundation so the foundations grow tax free. Even better foundations can deduct the expenses of running the charity, aka the children's "salary", as part of the 5% distribution. Neat trick. There are no limits on how much directors, aka the children, can be paid or how money is distributed. It gets better still. Private foundations can fund any tax exempt organization. Which, starting in the 70's (the koch brothers figured this out), is where the funding for all these institutes, astro turfs, think tanks, organizations, societies etc, etc. that exploded from nowhere comes from. The ultra wealthy can give unlimited tax deductible money to foundations they control to be charitable donations to fund political activities by organizations they created and control all totally in secret (organizations like clinton and soros foundations are public foundations which means funding sources must be reported). Really, really neat trick. The proverbial having you cake and eating it too. These private foundations and their incestuous tax exempt organizations dancing partners are almost all libertarian. They are also very well coordinated to support their goals. The koch annual get together of the ultra rich makes sure of that. The amount of money involved is staggering.

A couple good books have come out in the last 10 years or so that are starting to expose how this all works. This being how a very small group, literally no more than a few hundred ultra rich, are driving politics far to the right for the entire country for the last 40 years. A new one called Dark Money is the best researched and most extensively documented I've read. It's a really, really heavy read. It's also totally depressing, but very enlightening.

All of the estate tax elimination proposals over the years are strictly for pandering to the anti tax base not serious policy proposals. It's political theatre, except people who aren't insiders don't get a copy of the program.

It was necessary for Obama to give her that, so she would drop out of the nomination race prior to the Convention. And she would build a "Foreign Policy Experience" portfolio to run in 2016 and leverage the position for $$$, the former of which didn't work.
