President Elect Trump won the presidency in an electoral landslide (306 votes with Michigan counted)

Why is it that they support a democracy only if their candidate wins?

What is wrong with people?

The only question now is whether it will take 2 more days or 4 more days for libs to tire out and go back to their lives.

Libs have also been crowned the most intolerant political group of all time as of Nov 8th. Please step up and accept your award.

The free ride is over but life isn't

Liberals are big crybabies.

Honey, I ain't crying.

When will the right wing develop the ability to argue expressing rational thoughts and not personal attacks as punishment for not being one of them?

Never. The right wing conservatives are right now making the exact same mistakes the left wing conservatives made during the election. It's beautiful. They are sowing the seeds of their own destruction.

Nobody likes to accept an adverse result.

I do! A crisis is simply danger and opportunity. This is now the best time for reform.

Most libs are at work

Laughable!

I'm a liberal. The most hours I've worked in a week is 101. How about you? How hard have you worked? How many 70+ or 90+ hour work weeks have you pulled in your life?

Come on, these aren't rhetorical questions. If you want to challenge liberals on work ethic, then you better be prepared to back it up.

INTJs are almost all liberals, and they are the hardest working and most productive personality type by far. The only other type that comes close are the ENTJs, and they are also almost always liberals.

Marcus is the BIGGEST racist on Patnet. Is it because he's a major idiot or because he's

I dot have a clue what race Marcus is but I do know that he continually posts about how people might think and behave based on their race, and that is the definition of racism. So the shoe fits...

Liar. I would ask for examples, but I know you don't have any. I also know that lying is pretty much a way of life for you. Especially to yourself.

I really did try to break it down for you.

Another fool who can't tell the difference between a conservative and a liberal. The left are conservatives just like the right.

Liberals have opposed Bush, Cheney, Obama, and Hillary, and for the exact same reasons.

Have you ever listened to a liberal talk about Hillary Clinton? You really need to watch some YouTube videos on Noam Chomsky or Christopher Hitchens talking about Clinton. Your ignorance is astonishing.

No, I'm not a racist. I'd think you are a moron regardless of your race.

Republicans think they have a mandate... not true when you don't win the popular vote.

Correct.

I don't think it's about not accepting the results, but sending a message of what the American people want. Republicans think they have a mandate... not true when you don't win the popular vote.

When you win the Electoral College, when your party retains the House (despite more far more Republican seats, many of them held by vulnerable Freshmen, in play), and when the Democrats are prevented from retaking the Senate which everybody thought stood a good chance of happening.

When your candidate won a majority of the popular vote in the majority of the states.
When a candidate picks up states no Republican has done well in in years, and lost only a few swing states, and then by a tiny fraction.

When everybody from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, the Media from Thomas Freidman to David Brooks to Matt Yglesias, to Senators from your own Party (Graham) opposing you, and you won anyway. You honestly couldn't have had the game rigged more against Trump.

He's got a mandate. Dem popular vote was down "Big League" since 2012.

42   MisdemeanorRebel   2016 Nov 11, 4:44pm  

He's going to control the narrative, because the MSM is now irrelevant. The only surprising thing was that it took 20 years.

Considering 30% of Americans still find the msm trustworthy even after wikileaks emails, I'm not that surprised.

IMPEACH!

The republicans will have to impeach Trump as they control Congress. I'd love to see them do that, especially if they topple his administration. The Trump supporters would have rage boners the likes of which even the #NotMyPresident protesters have never seen before.

Yep. That would be the most dangerous thing, unless he was absolutely positively beyond a doubt caught doing something incredibly treasonous. THAT would bring a revolution, and it wouldn't be as diet soda as college "anarchists" breaking windows.

The question is, will Ivanka be ready in 2024? Or will she have to wait for her turn after Mike Pence?

People don't trust the government -- and rightfully so -- especially those who voted for Trump. There will always be a doubt.

Bullshit. That's a picture of Kim Jong-un, benevolent leader, who would never do such a thing, but if he did, he would do it in a spectacular way shattering all world records in baseball.

Ivanka running never occurred to me as a possibility until just now. For a female candidate she has a great shot (depending on how her dad does) great demeanor, and generally seems like a likeable person.

Contrast that with Chelsea, who ran her mouth a little too much during this last campaign and generally acts too much like her mom.

When will the left quit looting, burning, pillaging rioting, screaming and crying every time they don't get their way?

When the right stops being racist morons.

>>BayArea sez:
>>Why is it that they [the democratic party] support a democracy only if their candidate wins?

The above is a false statement, and pure propaganda, with a solid dose of passive-aggressive gloating and trolling thrown in. It provably has not happened for the last 192 years that Democrats lost the national popular vote, but won the electoral college vote, and then kept silent about the injustice.

The one and ONLY time that Democrats won the presidency without winning the popular vote was when John Quincy Adams won in 1824. That was 192 years ago. Do you REALLY think it is possible to indict the motives of the Democratic Party and their supporters TODAY based on something that happened 192 years ago? Do we even know whether Democrats gloated about that particular injustice in 1824? I don't expect you to get real, but those are the facts, for the record.

The premise for this whole thread is pure balderdash.

I broke it down for people that were going to jump to conclusions, which is more than Trump has ever done with his silly comments.

Strategist says

I'll agree to move on. But I would say we know what way less than half of America wants. It wasn't even half of the voters and a lot of democrats didn't vote.

Poor Trump, they probably will impeach him in order to install Pence. That is, if he doesnt bend over and accept Ryans agenda of privatizing (read destroying) Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. We will see if he has the balls to at least make good on keeping those programs intact, as he most certainly promised to do so.

Ironically it might be the Dems that save him as it takes 2/3 of the Senate to convict and remove. Pence with the current congress is a horrid thought. Aside from his temperament/ personality I always thought Trump was the best Republican policy wise. This is going to be quite a ride.

I don't care that you are protesting the establishment. Some real questions remain to be given real answers with regard to Trump's behavior.

We already have the answers. Stop whining.

I would love to be the Kleenex truck driver in DC this week.

I would also like to see a clip of Sally Kohn melting down crying.

63   marcus   2016 Nov 11, 7:02pm  

You could have just quoted

"How long have you been here"

and answered

"I was just being nice."

But that wouldn't have been any fun, becasue I wouldn't have seen it as being about me.

Maybe it is a bit childish. My Patrick.net habit is wearing on me because there are a lot of really bad winners around here. Still if you intentionally quote an asshole to troll me, or if you don't agree he's an asshole, then I don't need to see your posts.

I resent anyone telling me what i should and should not quote. It's a free country and Patrick.net practices freedom of speech.
Go ahead and put me on ignore. I aint gonna cry like the BLM crowd crying over Trump's victory.
