So I want to know if electors deem Trump incompetent or that the election was hacked how could they

vote for a third party in good conscience? Hillary won the election by almost 3 million votes! And some say they will vote for Kasich?

These electors that will do that are saying that they believe the republicans won legitimately and they get to pick who they want. It pisses me off.

The other thing is aren't there a lot of Democratic electors that will vote for Hillary? If Hillary got 38 more electoral votes , (from any state I am assuming) then should would win right?

Looking for some ideas about this... Thanks peeps!

Another reason so many people are filled with fake news is Fox is every damn where!

I get a new Roku TV and FOX is the first news show that I see.

No MSNBC. A couple others like CBS and maybe NBC show up later.

AND I remember when I was buying cable Fox news came with the basic, no frills option. To get MSNBC you had to pay extra.

Maybe they might make a little less money but DAMN. Fox is the number 1 news show for a reason; They shove themselves all over the place. They play the numbers games and it shows up on their bottom line.

Same thing with talk radio. It is all bullshit unless you want to pay for better channels.

Roger Ailes is a creep but he knew how to grow a TV station and radio stations.

I think the Democratic Party needs to learn a lesson from them and start flooding the truth around.

The Democratic Party has to create a BIG committee dedicated to stopping the r's from stealing

elections!

Republicans know that they cannot win without cheating. And this is becoming more so since our minority populations are growing and becoming a powerful voting block

It pisses me off that this election was hacked and stolen and that the Dems let it happen.

It pisses me off that the Dems did not stop the purge of minorities from voting rolls which gave the Republicans certain states and the electoral votes they needed to win.

It pisses me off that the Dems do not proactively create laws or do something that would counteract the continuous barrage of Republican laws whose only aim is to stop certain groups from voting.

We need to stop the current situation where Republicans do something evilly crafty to serve their own ends and only then some Dem lawyers file a suit to stop them. For them it is a law of averages. They enact unconstitutional laws continuously and they know that some of them are going to stick!

Where are our rules? What are we doing to make sure the elections are fair beyond fighting the unfair Republican rules AFTER THE FACT?


We need to start right now for the next election in 2 years. I don't know exactly what we need to do but there are people far more experienced and knowledgeable that can figure out how to stop those fuckers from cheating every damn elections!

If you don't think it is that important remember this.

The numbers of people who have DIED because of the theft of the 2000 election is way past several hundred thousand. That war also caused an untold number of dismembered, brain damaged, and mentally damaged people.

What is the next huge tragedy that will happen because the Dems did not proactively protect our democracy?

Seems small but in light of what has happened I'd like to know who Bret Baier works for

Fox News anchor apologizes for false report of 'likely' Clinton indictment

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/11/04/fox-news-apologizes-clinton-report/93300254/

The man KNEW This was a lie. And I'm sure he knew it was wrong to say something so close to an election. Yet he reported it. And I know Fox does this shit all the time. But how do we know he and others weren't told to do so by the same Russian operatives that wer eresponsible for the hacks and the fake news, (hey "FAKE NEWS)

I want them all investigated! Every talking head who is making jokes about the Russian hack,

every pro Trump appeaser, all of them worked for Russian ends even if they did not purposely make that their aim. They need to be scrutinized.

What kind of news organization would try to divert information away from the fact that our country was just attacked?

Check out Fox new's page. Not a damn thing about the Russian hack! Were they part of the Russian hack? They know about the Russian hack and did not saying anything.

Or news person?

Who does Fox news work for?

I suspect every one who is trying to dismiss this. Everyone.

Call me McCarthy all you want. It doesn't mean the Russians didn't finally attack us.

December 10, 2016

How many Russian spies are in our congress and house? The r's certainly act like

they are trying to ruin the damn country.

And while I am at it I get this bad feeling that Trump is setting things up, with his billionaire friends from around the world....... to take over the world-financially, (and the power that entails)

He will be in a position where, like Carrier he can give tax breaks to companies that serve his interests and the interests of his friends. 50 billion from Softbank coming in? Does anything think that is just an altruistic offer from a soon to be president for his country?

Trump voters are starting to realize that he has no intention of helping them. He is a corrupt business man who has just gotten the deal of a lifetime.

I am starting to get real scared now.

One must wonder why the republican party is filing suits to stop the recounts.

Why would they care if they thought their candidate legitimately won?

What the heck did they put on their petition to the court to stop the recount anyway?

So Trump has corporate bonds in parent company of Carrier!!!!!

I think Trump thinks president of the US is the best investment opportunity ever!

http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-had-investments-in-carrier-corp-s-parent-1480723443


Mr. Trump in 2014 owned an investment between $100,001 and $250,000 in United Technologies Corp., according to financial disclosure forms filed during the presidential campaign. It couldn’t be learned whether he still had a financial investment in the company because disclosure forms are filed only annually. Mr. Trump’s 2015 disclosure is the most recent one available and was filed in May 2016.

His 2015 form showed he owned one or more corporate bonds issued by United Technologies. The bond investment, held in a brokerage account through a Deutsche Bank AG unit, paid between $2,501 and $5,000 in interest for the year, the form said, but it valued the investment at between nothing and $1,000. His 2014 financial form for 2014 indicated he held an investment in United Technologies in the same account that paid interest in the same range, with a value between $100,001 and $250,000.

It isn’t clear what happened to the investment between 2014 and 2015. Mr. Trump didn’t indicate on the form that he had sold the investment and he didn’t appear to report capital gains for such a sale.
