Forum Post: Nothing really surprising in the election this year.

Republicans have been cultivating stupid within their base for several decades, only about one tenth of one percent are rich enough for it to make sense to vote GOP, so they need a lot of stupid people to keep them in office. Now those stupid people have chosen Trump, it's not hard to figure out nor is it surprising. Jon Stewart says it better here:

I agree. The people are going to steamroll the few that are trying to offer something different as usual.

Like a herd of buffalo charging at Standing Rock. And the people will side with the oppressors as usual.

Humans are extremely easy to control. Most of the time.

A WikiLeaks figure is claiming that he received leaked Clinton campaign emails from a “disgusted” Democratic whistleblower, while the White House continued to blame Russian hackers Wednesday for meddling in the presidential election and asserted that Donald Trump was “obviously aware” of Moscow’s efforts on his behalf.

Craig Murray, a former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and a close associate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, said in the report by the Daily Mail that he flew to Washington for a clandestine handoff with one of the email sources in September.

He said he received a package in a wooded area near American University. “Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians,” Mr. Murray told the British newspaper. “The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks.”

WikiLeaks published thousands of emails stolen from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, providing a steady stream of negative news coverage of the Democratic presidential nominee during the final weeks of the campaign. Mr. Murray said the leakers were motivated by “disgust at the corruption of the Clinton Foundation and the tilting of the primary election playing field against Bernie Sanders.”

The Daily Mail report noted that Mr. Murray was removed from his diplomatic post amid allegations of misconduct.

The White House said Wednesday that Mr. Trump was “obviously aware” of Russian hacking to benefit his presidential campaign and suggested that the administration didn’t retaliate against Moscow because the U.S. has more to lose than Russia does in an all-out cyberwar.

OK I can agree with your sentiment on an absurd comment - BUT - why bring it up after 6 months?

Let it die the silent death it deserved.

Yeah - I know - MY BAD AS WELL - for extending the visibility of your comment and so extending the visibility of the original offending comment.

sHillary lost because of who she is - not because of outside interference - which would have amounted to nothing "IF" sHillary was not guilty of so much!

That Drumpf (the epitome of evil running rampant) was able to win - just shows how fatally ill our government has become - that so many people would not vote for sHillary to keep Drumpf out of office.

This whole toxic current administration "IS" the fault of government (professional) for SHITTING on the general public (increasingly) over DECADES ! So much so - that - sane people could not support sHillary (really a poster-child for the wealthy few) even to defeat insane asshole Drumpf!

[-] 1 points by flip (7101) 6 years ago

yes you are right and now I am adding to the problem. I didn't realize it was 6 months old. looked at some new comment or something and saw the silly thing and couldn't resist. I will be more careful in the future!

and as an aside - holy shit - trump is reaching new levels of insanity every day!

Who is naive? Drumpf is huffing water he is in so deep with Russia. Assange? Are you upset about sHillary losing (who is naive about sHillary? hmmm)? Like I said before and will no-doubt say again = sHillary would have been just as bad as Drumpf for the general public (and probably worse as she is not so public with her problems/greed). Did anyone ever refute what Assange leaked through wiki leaks? No I don't think so. Like I said to you else where - Why are You not in seventh heaven about all the damage that Drumpf is doing to the GOP from the inside? Insane asshole can't get anything passed as he sabotages every thing he wants to get done! You should be positively giddy with Drumpf's failures and his program of destroying the GOP.

Like I keep saying (you dumb shit) = Drumpf is personally doing the GOP the most harm in the shortest period of time "EVER".

MY BAD (see edit below)

More on the Moron's attack on the ACA http://www.tpt.org/pbs-newshour/video/what-trump-ending-subsidies-to-health-insurers-means-for-you-1507934101/ If this is acurate - then - people who already are on the ACA program will not be losing - it will be people who can afford to pay their own way in the private insurance industry who will be paying more because of Drumpf's action.

So aparently the poor will still be OK - BUT - the federal government will actually have to pay more along with the portion of the public who do not qualify as being poor enough to qualify for ACA benefits.

Ya think that is gonna endear Drumpf to the public? If his asshole party (GOP) does not disown him - then they will be getting the blame along with Drumpf. You know the Democrats are going to be speaking out.

And OH almost forgot = 15 states have already filed suit.

EDIT : (mistake about who gets hurt and doesn't) - See with Drumpf's executive order - as things stand now - if an area has only one insurer and they pull out of the ACA - it seems that they would have to leave the market to dump any of their insured who are covered under the ACA - that means there would be NO insurance provider - which is why I am sure that like 18 states are ready to sue the federal government.

Mx. Cheese called for a no-fly zone over northern Syria to protect the civilians. I fully supported her goal but I had great reservations about her proposal. Russia was involved there so should we shoot Russian aircraft down if they violate the no-fly zone? That could lead to a big clash between the U.S. and Russia, the two states with order of magnitude more nuclear weapons than any other. I was hoping that TeraERex's Russian connections might just avoid any nuclear confrontations with Russia.

It's Not that I didn't give a damn about anything. I gave a damn about Everything. A nuclear war must stay verboten!

The neighboring countries next to Syria, such as Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan should be lauded for taking in so many refugees to help with their plight. Without Germany's stepping forward, things could have been much worse for many refugees.

I had never expected that TeraERex would become unhinged like this, once out of Jurassic Park. Well, if all roads lead to Hell(it matters little whether we go by way of the Russian, Chinese, North Korean{Mt. Paektu volcano}, New Atlantis Yellowstone supervolcano, or Iranian nuclear bombs - we are not brand conscious of the "fire and fury"{aka "magic mushroom" of the globalized helpline}), the road we are taking is certainly far more entertaining and exciting than the others, don't you agree? After all, our people wanted a Bigly Reality show. This Scheiß-fest is far Biglier than I had ever imagined. Even Iran may join the fun, too. Amazing.. Grace. At false dawn, ejecta from Paetu/Yellowstone to the valleys are: whitehead fire, and brimstone.

If you wanna be pissed off at anyone - be pissed off at Bernie for folding to the wealthy establishment and campaign whoring for sHillary! That Aside - This year could see a major loss of other offices for the GOP.

Remember Trump had your help with that third party bullshit, even that little bit of difference might have kept him from office so what he does is on you too DK not just the DNC. I was clear that voting for HRC was like crawling through a tunnel of shit, but it was what had to be done, you choose Trump instead.

Assange is stuck in Ecuador's Embassy in London, with trumped up charges from Sweden hanging over him, as a pretext to extradition to USA.

As the Conservatives' wet dream had it, our government is being run as a business, fast, efficient, and splat, the only problem being that it's not a business. Anyone who has kept their ear to the wall during the election campaign has no surprise of the contents of the very impressive Blitz of campaign-promise executive orders(which the Conservatives greatly decried as unconstitutional when they had come from the previous administration).

The U.S. will ALWAYS be a "Nation Based on Law." We'll simply get He-brewed extreme interrogation techniques, institute A.S.S.(》amerikanische Staatssicherheit《), use Israeli bulldozer-led "clearing" of legal settlements on occupied Dominion, declare Chinese "judicial sovereignty" wherever needed by our unsinkable aircraft carriers, and borrow from Allah's Laws, Shari'a.

If you mean I was alive at the time of this insanity that is the election of Drumpf - the timing of my life was not my choice - as the election of Drumpf was not my choice.

You can blame yourself for your failure to stop Drumpf's election (if you want - or must) - but I will not take blame for what I could not prevent.

Sanders no longer believes that he has a chance to become President. Will he be prepared to govern if the Presidency is shoved into his lap?

I speculate that reason is a combination of knowing how deeply programmed by RW Corporate MSM you know ''Turkeys Voting For Thanksgiving'' Americans to be AND the fact that .. Hellary Rotten Clinton was such a totally disastrous candidate - from such a disastrous and dishonest Dem Party Machine!! BUT frf ... there are more people organizing for more issues than EVER before & it has only been 3 months - since tRUMP was ''elected'' by ... less than 20% of adults in USA!!! Reform Dems - OR Thirrd Party For The People before 2020, frf?

3rd parties do nothing but help the GOP win if you got any guts take over the Dems you can't build a party if you can't take one over.

Anybody who supports 3rd party is an idiot!

[-] 1 points by ImNotMe (1488) 6 years ago

You do realize that both GOP and Dems were both born out of other parties & were the "3rd Parties" of there time, right?!!! You do know that Abraham Lincoln won under 3rd Party on 39% of the vote, right?!! You certainly do know that the RW Dems/DNC are Corporate Co-opted and, VERY resistant to Bernie!

At this point tRUMP could well kill the GOP himself with that Budget yesterday (day before St.Patrick's Day, 2017)! I'm not sure how even the least psychopathic Repugnant Pol is going to defend that to their constituents!! Thing is frf, fkn useless Corp. Dems are offering N0THING for the 99% other than watered down versions of Trumpian horseshit - which is why they're dead too!!! Ergo see: https://draftbernie.org/

i am thinking (hoping?) that the establishment wing of both parties is smelling the coffee. unless they are really stupid they are figuring out how to move the ball in our direction. they need to throw some crumbs to the lower classes or face real trouble in 2020. i am thinking we might see lizzie primary hillary if the clintons continue on their ruling elite ways. then 2020 would be a choice between lizzie and a real nazi not a reality show host playing one??

I seriously think Drumpf is an insane asshole who will do his best to fuck things up for the common man (all of humanity).

That being said.

I also believe that sHillary would have been as bad for all of humanity - if not worse.

WHY ?

Because sHillary would not get the pushback from the public or from those in government that Drumpf is getting.

You are as responsible for Drumpf as anyone else, what were you doing from June to November of 2016? Sitting on your "high horse"?

It is because of stupid people like you that we had to live through 8 years of W Bush and now we have Drumpf and still you spout shit!

Until people like you take your head from your ass and are willing to admit the Dems aren't prefect but the damn GOP is dangerous, we are all in danger.

We can fix the Dems but if we split by supporting third party ego whores then Drumpf and his ilk will just gain power.

Sadly. I'm not sure what Bernie would do with, ''more air time" - now that he too has fallen for the ''lesser of two evils'' road to spiralling into ever more evil!!! He knew that he'd been shafted by the DNC & DWS & we all know that even more as time goes by & so whyTF he chose not to go ''Independent'' or join Dr. Jill Stein on the Green Ticket (especially as she offered him the PotUS shot) - is somewhat of a mystery to me & squillions of others too, no doubt!! BUT The 99% Struggle can NOT depend on one man or woman and it absolutely has to keep rolling on - with a perspective longer than only one election cycle!
