From Joseph Patrick...aka Gerry Milligan,
So, our sitting president is again trying to win over the evangelical's vote by giving the commencement address at Junior's university (Liberty for the uninformed). You know, the home of the moral majority fame, except that it was neither. Sycophants abound. When is he going to 1st Baptist Dallas?

Jon,

I also agree that Bernie has a right to be upset. And I agree the DNC screwed up in how it treated Bernie. But that still doesn't get the GOP off the who for picking Trump. And it doesn't get Trump off the hood for being so buddy with Putin. The DNC being a screwed up party isn't an excuse for the GOP to be even more screwed up.

(BTW, I've been seriously considering re-registering as an independent. I'm not happy with the DNC on everything either.)

Actually, there appears to be doubt as to whether the system "worked," whatever that means. Clinton lost votes based on false information being spread by a foreign government through a computer hacking system, and somehow, miraculously, her opponents' campaign was able to pick up on the exact contents of the forged emails within hours of their being dumped onto the internet. Its hard to tell how many votes that affected, or whether that would have made a difference in the razor thin margin by which Trump won. At any rate, while the buffoon got into office via a slanted system that values some votes more than others, the phrase "the American people have spoken" or "the will of the people" does not apply. 56% of all voters cast a ballot for someone other than the buffoon, and his major opponent won the confidence of three million more of them. The will of the people was that Hillary Clinton be the next president, and that was abrogated by the deliberate interference of a foreign power's intelligence and spying agencies, and an antiquated, outdated system that skews the value of the votes cast by the people.

There's no longer a question of whether the Russians interfered, that's been established by the evidence, along with at least one of the ways they interfered. It also appears that there's no question about the involvement of Trump campaign officials. As the right wing was screeching about the investigation of Hillary, and arguing that she shouldn't be elected because it would create a "constitutional crisis," since the current president is under direct CIA and FBI investigation, it stands to reason, if the conservatives are right, that this is a constitutional crisis. And since the buffoon's attorney general is recused, and they have to keep an Obama administration justice department attorney on the job because he was assigned the case, they don't have many options to obfuscate or block this, hence, summoning Nunes to the White House for what turns out to be a desperation briefing.

If this were just a political show, it might be fun to watch the buffoon and his KKK White House staff twist in the wind, and see the lies get bigger as the pressure gets greater. Conservatives already hate him, so it will be interesting to see where the tipping point is for them (if health care hasn't already pushed it there). Many Evangelicals think he's the direct result of divine prophecy, the forerunner of the second coming, and justify his anti-Christian behavior and remarks by saying that God has used bad people in the past, which is sort of a backhanded indictment, isn't it? But the country is in serious danger, if it does not put a stop to this, and quickly. Trump is opening the door to Putin to infiltrate and put his people in every government agency.

The precious 3 million Hillary-surplus plurality was realized in California alone. There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57. The electoral landslide is actually an understatement. The constant drumbeat in an effort to somehow discredit the election is an unrelenting sign of the inability to “get over it.” Just on the basis of what happened in London this week, not to mention 9/11 along with this the newest form of slaughter-by-vehicle terrorism, one shudders to think of Hillary and her invitation to 500,000 Muslims to come on in and enjoy the American opportunities for victimizing a huge nation. I was disgusted when Obama won but I got over it in a relatively short time, notwithstanding his incredible failure realized later. The current whiners, as shown in this forum, dispute reality to their shame.

It has been a wonderful 24 hours since I last posted and I just read in the Gulf News that Trump is still the President.

Other notables (not from Gulf News)... Trump is still scheduled to speak at Liberty's commencement. The left still feel cheated. Russia continues to be blamed for Hillaries loss. The electoral college is considered archaic because Trump won. The Sanctuary states are refusing to cooperate with the federal government.

One more... the 14 year old girl in MD would not have been raped if the 2 people who committed the crime were kept out of the country. Simply, they would not have been here to commit the crime... Build the Wall.
