Who caused those problems though? I would say corporate greed is the enemy of these people more than anything to do with government. The big factory in town that used to provide good jobs closed? Whose fault is that? Decisions like that were made in the board room, not in Washington. And then these people have the…

Yeah but you are forgetting something very important: they are smart, reasonable people. Whereas Americans are...not.

A friend of mine posted a story recently indicating that Russia has equally if not more damaging opportunities from the RNC and Trump campaign but they’re waiting until after the inauguration to release it. Not sure how reliable this is, but if it doesn’t sound a lot like what’s been happening over the course of this…

+100 for the Usual Suspects reference.

I’m really counting on France to be the grown ups in the room.

I think a lot of the freaking out among Democrats is overblown. Not only are demographics still working in our favor, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, but also the stats on white college educated voters look very good for us, and that demo is also growing.

All of the stars for this!

I like how we keep hearing from these people now that “well, this is what happens when people in the cities ignore the interests of rural people” but when have rural people ever thought about our interests, especially when we outnumber them. That and their interests are well represented, if you think about it, they…

I don’t disagree, but I’m having a hard time seeing what Obama did differently during his campaigns that won over people in the Midwest, and why they didn’t turn out for Clinton.

And if they had, it’s highly unlikely they would have leaked information about it to Congress a week before the election.

I know that Sanders are thrilled to point out those polls today, but let’s all try to remember that those polls were taken during the primary, and, as we should have learned from the last few months, were not frozen in time.

I’m drinking a lot of booze, and it’s not working.

Stopped at my polling place in the morning on my way to work, then at lunch time, because it was such a nice day, stopped by Susan B. Anthony’s grave to pay my respects. She is buried in the Mt. Hope Cemetery, right near where I work.

The explanation is quite simple: one of our political parties doesn’t really favor democracy.

Trump was right, he just didn’t know it! Also, see: Republican Secretaries of State allocating less voting machines to districts that lean Democratic, causing people to have to wait in line longer, hoping they will give up and go home.

Yeah, it’s weird, that, isn’t it? I’m from the States but went to university in Oz and thought the same thing when I first arrived there: wait, liberals are conservatives? Also, the image of a Queenslander with a sombrero made me laugh out loud.

I imagine the conversation went something like this: “Kellyanne, why does Obama have a bigger plane than I do?” “He’s the President, Mr. Trump, and you’re...not.”

Isn’t it a problem that he’s been talking about Bill Clinton’s affairs for all this time, though?

Joanie got the last laugh, though, didn’t she? Hey guys, it’s been fun, but I’m setting up my own shop.

Just ask Jim Demint, former Republican senator who said of the ACA before a draft was even presented: “we will make this Obama’s Waterloo. We will break him.” How do we expect anything good to come of a political system like this? If you can’t even agree to doing what’s right for the country rather than preventing the…
