2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWould somebody PLEASE help me understand WHY, WHY, WHY this election is allowed to let stand as is?
WHY can't frump be challenged if he is so blatantly phony and illegally headed for the oval office? Why is the electoral college even still in place? With so man millions of popular votes cast for Clinton there was only ONE LEGAL AND PROPER winner of this election possible and it wasn't frump!! Frump made such a big deal about "draining the swamp" but he was the head of the swamp with the most money and the most foreign money and the most foreign influence and the filthiest campaign tactics! I have ever seen! Why is Russia allowed to choose our leaders? Why isn't anybody challenging this Twitter clown? Why isn't Twitter itself shutting him down? Isn't somebody ballsy enough to snag his phone out of his itty bitty little Tweety Bird hands and say "Naughty, you little fool!". Give me some power and I will do it myself, I swear it! I had a bully for a husband and currently a sister who is a loud mouth bully and I know bullies when I see them and how to deal with them. Give me the "football" and I will use it to pound some sense into his head before he has a chance to tweet putin the code to the nukes. Better still, lets send the idiots who voted for the donald to the Kremalin and let them see what they voted for so their eyes will be fully wide open to the grief and pain we will all shortly suffer. Americans who voted for him are surely the same idiots who left the hanging chads for 41 and 43 and caused such misery and pain for all of us that we are still feeling to this day. Please, PLEASE get the frigging phone away from him and tell him to start using the platform of public SPEECH to explain himself to the American people like a true statesman and not like a teenager with a new Christmas phone!

It doesn't appear anything can be done.
Perhaps nature will relieve of this burdensome "priest"
I personally don't think he will survive 4 years,
I think there is something
wrong with him that we don't know yet.
I think that's why Ivanka is such a "devoted"
daughter following him around cleaning up his mess.
I think he has a degenerative disease..
or is just a degenerate.
Its either death or impeachment for the maggot
Im good with either.

(9,527 posts)to get rid of it. As such, the argument about Clinton getting nearly 3 million more votes is irrelevant. Changing the rules after the fact isn't possible.
Russia didn't choose who people voted for. At best they gave people misleading information about Clinton and the DNC. They didn't alter any votes, they didn't prevent people from voting. In spite of the Russian effort, Clinton was almost certain to be the winner of the election at the electoral college level until Comey's second announcement about the emails found on Anthony Wiener's computer.
There is no law against people being an asshole on Twitter. Likewise unless he blocks them, Twitter allows people to respond to his inane tweets. Just because you don't like the platform doesn't make it an invalid platform. Other presidents have been bullies, we survived them, and most people seem to like LBJ's Great Society programs in spite of LBJ being a bully when it came to getting what he wanted.

(19 posts)someone with his damn phone and they IMMEDIATELY locked my account for being "rude and dangerous". They reversed their opinion in about 24 hours with no comment from me whatsoever and asked me to change my password or some kind of nonsense and get back online. Nobody but robots are really awake at the stick at Twitter or they would close his account so its no wonder Tweety bird is allowed to tweet to his little fat finger's content and make Americans look stupid and shallow. I have been a military wife most of my adult life and the guys I know are humiliated at having to take orders from a fool. These guys are crazy angry at the fact Russia chose their boss and Washington is letting them. When I say "guys" it is inclusive of the brave and intelligent women in uniform as well. They are all sick of this situation. If we wanted to prove that our voice is being heard we would DEMAND Twitter put an end to to the nonsense of the leader of the free world tweeting our business like a child.

(82,383 posts)It is something the founders never considered apparently. Like there could never be election fraud. Perhaps understandable for 18th century men to think nothing like that could happen or not be able to imagine it.
We ought to reform the law but that's way in the future as the current Republicans seem to outright benefit from any wrongs they do.

(1,273 posts)Recounts failed. Lawsuits failed. Persuading faithless electors failed. Objecting to certification failed. What else is there to do? Twitter shutting down the president? That's begging for trouble.
P.S. Even if Twitter did shut him down, he's still president.
we can do it

He will, however, be the president.

(19 posts)WE THE INFORMED should never think or talk like defeated little sheeple! We have work to do. First things first, we need to form an assault on Twitter and demand that our national business is not a free for all to be dispensed in nasty little sentences by a deranged little Tweety bird regardless of where his office is at and what game he is playing. We need to demand that he play by the rules and turn in those tax returns,
abide by the blind trust policies, not allow his children anywhere near the national government (especially in the oval office). Personally, I think the gold shrine at frump tower in New York should be sealed with pad locks for 4 years because I don't trust him for a cold minute to keep his hands out of personal business for that long. Appoint a Democrat forensic accountant to tear down frump "university" down to the last scrap of paper so that it can be prosecuted as a Rico case. Next, since that is a good start, tell him to BEND OVER while we work on the Russian golf course, the hotels in all of the foreign countries all over the world where it was illegal for him to have been doing business in the first place and just keep the money trail going until he has absolutely nothing left except a jail cell in four years. Remember Deep Throat said "follow the money" and there seems to be plenty of it to follow.

(11,142 posts)There is absolutely no evidence that the vote counts are inaccurate in any way, let alone by enough to flip tens of thousands of votes in 3 states. The complaint about Russia is that they illegally obtained and leaked information they were not entitled to. There is no credible claim that the election wasn't the result of voters freely choosing their preferred candidate.
