• US elections

    From BOB ACKLEY@1:123/140 to ALL on Friday, July 05, 2019 11:44:12
    I find it disturbing that so many people in this country refuse to
    accept the fact that corrupt, power obsessed Hillary Clinton, the
    Savior of the Whole Human Race according to some of them, LOST the
    election in 2016 (I thought she had a lock on it, and apparently
    so did she and most of her supporters). The level of hatred displayed
    by these people is unprecedented, and I've been watching the political
    class in this country for over half a century. I have to say that I
    did not vote for Donald Trump and I think that basically he's the south
    end of a northbound horse, but I don't hate him or people who support
    him; as a side note I haven't thought much of any of the presidents
    since Truman, who in my opinion was probably the best president of the
    last century.

    Trump's opponents are claiming - so far without a shred of evidence
    despite more than two years of looking - that Trump colluded with the
    Russians who were "meddling" with the election. Now that the
    Corruptocrats own the house of representatives they've set up
    congressional committees to destroy Donald Trump - not just nullify the results of the 2016 election, but actually destroy him and anybody in
    his administration they don't like. As a side note, I doubt that any
    of those sanctimonious Corruptocrat officials so intent on destroying
    Donald Trump could withstand the torrent of political "investigations"
    being brought against Trump and members of his administration.

    I don't see why "meddling" with elections in this country is such a bad
    thing anyway; the elections have been rigged for probably a century,
    and for the past couple of decades anybody who has run for national
    office has been, in my opinion, morally and ethically unfit to hold
    it. Note that I did not distinguish between Corruptocrats and
    Republicrooks.

    Only about 1/4 of those eligible to vote in this country actually
    bother to do so - half of those eligible to vote don't bother to
    register, and of the half that does register, half don't bother to
    follow through and vote. Undoubtedly this is because the result of
    any election is foregone, it will be won by a corrupt, venal crook
    whichever party he or she belongs to; in this country the term "corrupt politician" is redundant. By not voting at all, 3/4 of the eligible
    citizens are, in effect, voting for "none of these candidates," so it
    really doesn't matter who is "meddling" in the election.

    As a matter of historical note, other countries have been "meddling" in
    this country's elections and government for decades (the US Communist
    Party, which was and presumably still is wholly owned and operated by
    Moscow, actually ran candidates in US elections - usually
    unsuccessfully - for decades), it's not a new phenomenon so I fail to
    see why it's such a big deal now. I should also point out that the US
    has been "meddling" in other countries' elections for decades too, and turnabout is fair play

    Hello Bob,

    I find it disturbing that so many people in this country refuse to

    As noted by President Jimmy Carter, Trump is an illegitimate
    president, as is Pence being an illegitimate vice president, due
    to the fact that both were put into office with Russia's help.

    Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, having received almost
    3 million more votes nationwide that her nearest opponent. Had
    it not been for Russian interference in our elections, she would
    be President of the United States today, with Donald J. Trump
    sitting in some jail cell somewhere (or sharing a dacha with his
    pal, Vladimir Putin).

    There is no proof of that and you sir, know it. Are you forgetting that
    the vote total of the other 49 states gave Trump a nearly 2 million vote
    lead but California, the land of fruits and nuts and of course those illegal voters gave Hillary a 5 million voted margin. So do we really want to
    let just California decide our elections? It would save a ton of money
    since they would only have to campaign in one state. :)

    Way back when Bill Clinton was still in office, a fellow - I think it
    was Matt Giwer - posted a list of several felonies committed by Hillary Clinton, if memory serves there were about ten of them, with complete explanations of each of them. Of course, none were ever formally
    investigated because, after all, it's HILLARY, not some Republicrook
    like Donald Trump

    Hello Gaylen,

    to the fact that both were put into office with Russia's help.

    Bwhahahahaha.. get out the tinfoil hats... the Democrat faithful have arrived.

    Jimmy Carter is 94 years old, and remains faithful as ever to his
    beloved party. Even though he admits he did not vote for Clinton.

    Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, having received almost
    3 million more votes nationwide that her nearest opponent. Had
    it not been for Russian interference in our elections, she would

    There is no proof of that and you sir, know it.

    Yes, there is. Lots of it. Almost 3 million votes.
    Real people who cast valid ballots that were counted.

    Are you forgetting that the vote total of the other 49 states gave Trump a nearly 2 million vote lead but California, the land of fruits and nuts and of course those illegal voters gave Hillary a 5 million voted margin.

    Hillary Clinton won the state of California by a 2 to 1 margin over
    all opponents, including Donald Trump. Nationally, she received almost
    3 million votes more than her nearest opponent.

    Donald Trump won the electoral college by virtue of having recieved
    a total of 78,000 votes more than Hillary Clinton in three states.

    So do we really want to let just California decide our elections?

    It was a fluke that Trump won despite California voting for Clinton.
    If it had not been for Russian interference, Trump would not have won
    the three states that gave him the electoral majority he needed.

    It would save a ton of money since they would only have to campaign in one state. :)

    Having a direct election (national vote) for president/vice president
    would be a far better, and more modern, way of conducting presidential elections.

    be President of the United States today, with Donald J. Trump
    sitting in some jail cell somewhere (or sharing a dacha with his
    pal, Vladimir Putin).

    hahahahaha... you , methinks, are delusional but then again...

    The House of Representatives voted to condemn what the president
    uttered the other day, calling him a racist president. Was that
    delusional? Did members of Congress misquote him? Fact is, he
    said what he said. And those words were as vile, or worse, than
    anything George Wallace or Lester Maddox ever said.

    .. "The Democrats believe that everyday is April 15th... " - Ronald
    Reagan.

    George Wallace claims in his memoir that he never uttered
    the "N" word in public. Does that mean he was not a racist?

    President Trump claims he is the "least racist person" alive.
    Does that mean he is not a racist?

    Joe Biden claims "I do not have a racist bone in my body."
    Does that mean he is not a racist?

    Attempting to change the subject to something else only serves
    to show what the president said is inexcusable. He has shown, to
    the entire world, exactly who and what he is. A white nationalist.
    His mantra "Make America Great Again" is a copy from Ronald Reagan -
    but far from what Reagan believed and practiced. What Trump wants
    is to "Make America White Again" - regardless of how he does it.

    Shame on those who refuse to condemn the actions of a racist
    president - regardless of race or party affiliation.
