I don't know what gets into trump supporters. Are they brainwashed, have Stockholm syndrome or are they just nuts?
Chris Hayes had former republican congressman Jack Kingston on his show last night. Kingston (and he seems wacky to me) told Chris that trump did win the popular vote if you don't count the votes in California and New York.
Chris laughed. And pointed out, well if you don't count votes in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.
News flash to Kingston. The fat bastard isn't giving you a job in his illustrious administration. You can't stop being his apologist.
If you don't count all the B's, C's, D's and F's, Rick Perry got a 4.0 in college.

I pose a "What If" from my blog. Feel free to leave me a comment there or on FB. It occurred to me while I was shopping, and I had to share it with the few dozen people who would care.
That was a pretty awesome fantasy. I would like to add Obama yelling "Hawaii! That's where I was born mother-fucker! Say it! Say it you son of a bitch!"

I really really want to support peaceful people who worship however they want (although frankly, I'm fundamentally against any religion that treats women as second class citizens - and yes, that applies to more than just muslims, some jewish and christian religions act similarly), but with almost every attack going on in the world being caused by the radical islamists or wannabees, it gets harder and harder to not take a hard stance against all of them because of the few rotten apples spoiling the whole barrel. government/security can't prevent all of the bad apples from slipping through the cracks of vetting, whether its because of insufficient funding/people to do the vetting, or the bad apples have learned how to lie well, more and more I'm starting to agree with those that say just no to everyone.
I feel bad about these feelings, but I also am tired of having concerns every time I leave my house. And I know that's not going to completely stop all attacks, but a reduction is preferable to an escalation.
I can understand that you're afraid - but let me present another perspective.
I live less than 50 miles from the town with the largest muslim population in the US yet we have had zero terrorist attacks ever. Do you want to know my opinion on why this is? I believe it's because they are treated like they belong. Some of the towns play the call to prayer. The University of MIchigan's Dearborn campus has installed foot washing stations for the students. It's a good school - my daughter thought about going there. Our tour was led by a very sweet muslim girl - the muslim people in our area value education, just as much for the girls as for the boys.. Of course if they try to build a mosque in rednecked Macomb county - the idiots are going to protest it - but in general, the muslims here get treated like anyone else.
Now imagine you're a 14 year old boy. Would you be more likely to radicalize if you felt you had a place in society and a chance to be somebody or if you had to register on a list and feared being put into a camp?
So - I get the fear. I do. But dealing with it the way that Trump wants to is actually a self-fulfilling prophecy and will make things worse.

I don't understand why someone wouldn't make a copy and release it to a news station anonymously. or "lose" it in the vicinity of Rachel Maddow. Oops! That's what I would do.
Unfortunately, I think that would just get the Dump supporters all excited that "we can say retard again - yay!" Those of us that didn't vote for the orange plague likely never used it to begin with.

As an atheist, I've never had a problem with someone saying Merry Christmas to me, and returning the greeting. Until now.
I thought W was a little dumb, but I was never embarrassed by him. I am profoundly embarrassed that this country is full of enough people willing to put that barely sentient orange turd in power.
I've never had a problem with Merry Christmas either, but I have noticed like some others here, a mean tone to it this year - like daring someone to say something different. I took DD out for brunch Saturday and the waitress, who was a cute little thing about DDs age, must have said it five times. When we paid the bill, she said it again and added "Aren't you excited?". Weird. Excited about what? Christmas? They have it every year. It seemed like she was making it her goal to say it as many times as possible or until people repeated it back. I just said yeah, you too.
FWIW, she was an awesome waitress in all other ways so she got a good tip. She was cheerful and spent a lot of time going over the coffee bar offerings with DD. Maybe she was just excited because she was expecting a good gift.

I don't think the assumption is arbitrary, since declining the invitation--as your company did--was an option and much less likely to be misconstrued.
I find ___________'s young daughter, whose marching band turned down the fun of a memorable trip to DC so their position would be unmistakable, more admirable than these Titans o'Tech.
That would be my girl DD. Truth be told, just four days before band camp she ripped two and a half of the three tendons in her right ankle. That required surgery, three weeks no weight bearing and ongoing physical therapy. So... no marching band this year. She went to band camp and the first week of marching band not being able to march, because we thought she might be able to march the last few games, but once the surgeon got in there he said no way. We're hoping next year. She loves marching band.
However, she still has her band friends. They took a vote on whether they wanted to accept the invitation to march at the inauguration and it was an overwhelming no. This is not a liberal college at all either (We have buildings with the DeVos name on them) - just kids with a whole lot of integrity. And these kids live for trips.

They should charge that Twitter user with assault/battery. He/she did every bit as much damage as physically hitting Kurt. My son has seizures. In addition to what others have said, a person who has a seizure cannot drive for at least 6 months( varies by state)and has to have a doctor certify the seizures are prevented with medication before they CAN drive again. This is very disruptive to their work and personal life. Not everyone lives in a city large enough to have convenient 24 hour public transportation, or understanding employers.
In other news.trump tweeted that the Chinese should keep our stolen drone. Does he understand they can take it apart, learn our technology and use it against us?
What astounds me is that this is news and I haven't seen anything about it on the mainstream media. (not that I am glued to mainstream media). There should be outrage. People should be demanding that the POS that did this ends up with his head on a pole (figuratively). Yes, China is a big story, of course, but this story says volumes about the orange man's followers. He's not president yet - he needs to keep his nose out of China for the time being. He should be spending his time telling people that attacks like the one on Kurt are unconscionable and they need to stop immediately. But of course he won't because he approves of it. Because he's a piece of human garbage.

I wasn't sure whether to put this in humor or here. I am putting it here because it's actually more scary than funny.
Rick Perry's grades - he got a D in a class called "meats"
Okay - I know that A&M isn't a cakewalk, and I am sure that Meats is a very difficult upper level class, but someone on my twitter brought this up a few days ago and I think my twitter peeps are the funniest people in the world. I can't find it now or I would link and share the genius - but I will share a sample solely from my memory:
Name these meats: ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham No Rick they are not all ham.
Hamburger! No Rick, you are so close though. It's a cheeseburger
Giggles insanely at picture of sausages.
It's a class you really have to cram for.
So that's my twitter peeps and they do it so much funnier. But now the scary part. This guy got two A's in his college career. More D's than B's. I know C's get degrees, but dang Rick. When he got elected to a position in the student government, he had to get off academic probation before he could take it. I am well aware that not everyone is cut out for higher level learning and might have skills elsewhere. If my daughter was doing that crap at college, I would maybe try to steer her toward the local cosmetology school. But the department of energy is a department that requires understanding a lot of complicated science - something that his F in organic chemistry won't help him with.

At his rally tonight in Orlando, Trump told his crowd, "you people were vicious, violent, screaming, 'Where's the wall?' 'We want the wall!' Screaming, 'Prison!' 'Prison!' 'Lock her up!' I mean, you were going crazy. You were nasty and mean and vicious. And you wanted to win, right?" "It's much different," he said. "Now you're laid back, you're cool, you're mellow, right? You're basking in the glory of victory."
He just told his worshipers that they were vicious, violent, mean and nasty and they all reacted with cheers and applause.
That's how that type of voter is. They like anything vicious, violent, mean, nasty and I'll throw in cruel and hateful.. They sit at night and think about if an issue helps them or hurts them and then they think about if it hurts someone else. If it hurts someone else then the answer to question one is irrelevant. The people who voted for him and will lose their health benefits are a prime example. They don't care if it hurts them as long as they get to see people locked up, thrown over a wall or put in camps. They are all excited that they can now say the n word because political correctness is dead - yay. And soon you'll be able to discriminate against the gays and turn women into baby-making machines - yee-haw!

And that's pretty awful, IMO. The fact that it doesn't seem to bother people is yet another example of how women are systematically mistreated and degraded, over and over and over, until no one fucking cares anymore. "Get over it." "You're too sensitive." "You're such a crybaby - why don't you go to your safe place?" "It's just locker room talk. Boys will be boys." I had so many people do this to me when I was finally brave enough to speak up about my own assault and it just fills me with rage.
No - boys should be raised to be decent human beings who respect other people and their personal boundaries. Just like everybody else. And I have no doubt there are many parents doing just that. But we need to call others out when line are crossed and not let it slide because it's uncomfortable and we don't want to make a scene.
That was horrible. When some of his victims came out to share their stories, the (male) cow-orkers at my place of business were all like "oh, so they just forgot about it until now". I was so enraged - but my office is a nepotistic political minefield so you have to keep your mouth shut and your head down. You never ... fucking ... forget about it.
The scariest things about him (for me) during the election were the nazis, klansmen and the death threats to reporters. That's not the kind of country I want to live in - and voila -hate crimes are now up 200% from this time last year. That's three times as many. I am amazed at the number of people who weren't aware of the klan and neo-nazi ties prior to the election. I am a minority and I think I'm next in line after the muslims and mexicans.

Seriously, Fuck this guy! I know Trump doesn't see people with disabilities as human either ... I cannot believe that these are still ideas and feelings that people in the year fucking 2016 still hold.
Wanna know what's sick? I saw the headline and I immediately thought "Has to be Warren" Yep - it is. The wonderful mayor of wonderful Warren Michigan. This is the third largest city in MIchigan and borders Detroit to the north. One of the most racist cities in the state. When I moved to this area in the mid-eighties, there were eight african-americans living in Warren. Eight. If anyone who is reading this lives there - I am generalizing, sure, but of course I know not everyone who lives there is racist. I personally know a few of the non-racist Warrenites and I consider them friends. But the government sure has a racist trend. Of course it's not a huge surprise that the hatred expands to the disabled as well.

Everybody has to do what's right for them, and I fully support that. I was just adding my POV to the earlier discussion about name-calling and misogyny.
And I appreciate your viewpoint.
I am glad you don't seem to be taking the last paragraph as being mean or sarcastic. I mean it sincerely. I used to think everyone has a voice and should be heard but the older and more curmudgeonly I get - the more nonchalant I am with the ignore feature. Sometimes I will have a fit of cheerfulness and let some of them out of their cages, but in general I am happy to converse with those like-minded souls who share my views.

On a purely shallow note, in most photos of Melania, she has the same resting bitch face as her husband. It's hard to find a flattering photo of either of them.
My daughter's college marching band was invited - they declined.
They knew in the fall they would be invited to the inaugural parade and they were excited. I think that if tubby acted presidential, if he had spoken out about the increasing hate crimes, if he had tried to show that he actually gave a crap about the country, they would gladly have gone. Keep in mind, this isn't some liberal hotbed. The school has a whole building named after the DeVos family.

A puff piece would be something like an article about Milania's decorating skills or something. Substance free, nice things written to be flattering to the subject. Not an article detailing the many conflicts of interest of the President elect.
Whether it uses too many words is subjective but it's just wrong to say that the words only matter to the person writing. Even leaving aside the millions of people who are very concerned about exactly this issue, he's talking about something that's very important and will affect the entire country whether they like it or believe it or not. If Trump actually has these business relationships, the agenda of the reporter doesn't change the fact.
I know you can certainly disguise meaning with the words you use--we see that a lot. But I don't see how it applies to this article at all. The sentences are perfectly straightforward and to the point.
Yep, some of us don't mind words - we like words. They are a handy way to communicate.
I've noticed that the DVR has made it so I'm less likely to pay attention to things - it's something I have to be mindful of when it's not something that can be rewound and reviewed. Likewise, I think the twitter culture makes people lose interest if something requires sustained attention - I've only started using twitter myself, so that's a tendency I'm going to have to be on the lookout for. I think that's part of what's bringing us to where we are today.

Well it gets her into Washington/the nation's politics. Which isn't good either.
Michigan's got it's own problems. Bill Schuette, the one in charge of squashing down our recount, announced he's planned to run for governor in two years. He's an enemy to gay rights, women's rights and medical marijuana. Ronna Romney is a huge ally of his so getting her silly ass out of this state is a coup. I just don't want to see Michigan turn into North Kentucky. (No offense to Kentucky, but dang).

Every time Trump comes out and says or does something stupid (...so basically every time he comes out of hiding) my chest tightens and I get this intense longing for what it would've been like with HRC. Republicans would be angry but what else is new? The past month would've seen a peaceful, elegant transition of power. Cabinet selections would be of skilled, and qualified, men and women; any disappointments would be due to preference, not a horrifying lack of morality on part of the candidate. Putin would be disappointed, China would not be making "fuck with me, I dare you" flyovers, and the Orange Menace would be... who cares? I could enjoy the rest of 2016 and look toward 2017 without worrying that the CIA pulling some '80s peak spy shit was the best hope for our country.
The orange menace would be happy as a pig in shit. He didn't want the damn job - he wanted to have his little Trump TV deal and rake in money from rubes. He wouldn't be expected to do horrible things like read or speak like a mature adult - and those sad, awful Saturday Night Live people wouldn't be all up in his grill stomping his delicate feefees. He could be the twitter king and spend the next eight years obsessed with that nasty woman and how she rigged an election by being a worthy candidate - no Russia required.

Not going to make it go away.
'Mr. Trump’s seeming dismissal of the importance of that daily interaction with intelligence agencies, as well as his claims of politically tainted intelligence reports on Russia, widened a remarkable breach between a president-elect and the agencies he will have to rely on to carry out priorities like fighting terrorism and deterring cyberattacks.
His stance on the issue is also putting him increasingly at odds with senior lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including members of his own party, who say that the evidence of Russian interference is clear and warrants a congressional investigation..
Earlier in the article he shows off his ass intelligence.
'“You know, I’m, like, a smart person,” he said. “I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years.”'
Because that's how smart people talk. I especially like how he dismisses the PDBs as "same thing in the same words". While he seems only able to say the same thing in the same words.
His sheeple are not very discerning, imho. They also don't seem to care much for facts.
Note that he isn't saying he is a smart person. He's saying he's like a smart person - he just threw a comma in there where it doesn't belong like the not as smart people seem to do. He's like a smart person in that tubby and a smart person both uhh.. wear clothes - that's it. tubby and a smart person also both have two hands - although tubby's hands are probably smaller.

As are some of the folks most hateful toward men being other men.
Regardless of the above facts, I agree that it's a bit bogus to pick on someone's appearance when they are attempting to make an important stand which the candidate WAS doing.
And of course that's exactly what I was referring to. Men seem more able to attack other men on the content of their message, without employing juvenile, grade-school sniping about appearances. Of course there is the occasional "Krispy-Kreme Christy" comment but in general men can attack each other verbally but don't often seem to hit below the belt as much.
You want to see a bunch of women rip each other up? Go check out a on-line discussion between stay-at-home moms and working moms. It's brutal. Both sides rip each other up - attacking their mothering skills, their work ethic, everything about each other when all they really need to do is support each other and have some understanding. If it were customary in our culture for men to either choose to stay home or to work, I doubt there would be the amount of hate I see spewed out in those discussions. Support networks would abound.
And don't you dare be a middle school girl who has the sheer nerve to develop before the other girls in her class. Most spectacularly I might add.
This was only brought up because 52% of white women voted against their best interests and I am told it can't all be attributed to racism. I hear the same type of things said about her that were said about that innocent middle school girl who didn't ask for boobs but got them anyway. Jealousy? The deep-down feeling that maybe we just aren't as good as men? Who knows - but you don't often see that type of self-hatred projected outward by guys (although yes, I'm sure it happens at times).

Donald John Trump: 2016 President-Elect
in Current Events & Politics
I may possibly in a thread here somewhere have referred to righties as human garbage. I don't know if I did or not, but it's a term I use so I wouldn't be overly shocked to find out I did. If I did, I won't apologize for it - if people don't like being called human garbage, they shouldn't act like human garbage.
I don't use cuck though - it sounds like a baby who isn't mature enough to enunciate "ka-ka" Yes - I know it's short for cuckold - only the right is that paranoid that their sexual prowess isn't good enough to keep a mate that they use it as an insult. Little do they know that that's not the reason they can't keep a mate.
