There simply is no getting around the fact that Trump is the exact same asshole dipshit arrogant mysoginistic narcissist insecure control freak that he is, was and will ever be despite his new job title.

Folks that voted for him keep insisting on applying lipstick, perfume and slapping fake pedigree papers on his persona in a very heroic yet futile effort to justify why they picked him as the leader of the most powerful and influential nation on this earth. And they're doing this despite the glaringly obvious fact that Trump's personally delivered promises to them have been clearly exposed as a pack of lies that were directly aimed at influencing their emotions, because the facts of his character and his true intentions were going to lead them away from him.

Well, try as they might in their efforts delude the rest of the nation as they have obviously deluded themselves, it's just an abject and pitifully wasted effort because time after time Trump keeps proving them wrong.

Don't forget the Bernie supporters that felt slighted by the actions of Clinton and the DNC that chose not to vote for Clinton or vote at all in this election.
You mean they felt slighted by things that never happened.


LMAO!!! Even if the Russians were behind the hacks of Podesta/DNC emails, there is 0 evidence that any voting machines were hacked. The fact of the matter is Clinton was an equally polarizing candidate as Trump and only a few thousand votes in several states made the difference. The people she demeaned and insulted ensured her defeat.
The only people she demeaned were racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, and/or Islamaphobic. So we should be grateful that our president was chosen by those types of people.

I guess someone should have let them know they weren't slighted by the DNC, oops too late the election is over.

Yes accusing people of being things they're not is a great way to win over people. I'm sure these people are not surprised that sore losers are still making these accusations.

Wait. Did you just say the hacking had no impact and then turn around and tell everyone not to forget how the hacked emails influenced people's opinion to not vote for Clinton?

The hacking had no impact of who I voted for.

On another note as someone who works for an ISP that is occasionally asked to find out what happened on compromised gear. I have to do reports on how the problem happened and who was at fault when determining who is eating the cost of a hack, this is one VOIP equipment and it's usually toll fraud involved. In cases where a customer had set a password to something like 1234 or something easy to guess the business gets stuck with the cost of the hack. In another case, the group that deploys the equipment, didn't put access lists on the device and was basically allowing management access to the device from most of the world. This wouldn't have been such a big deal, but they let the default usernames and passwords in the routers as well.

I guess what I'm getting at is, if you get hacked, it's probably because the proper precautions weren't followed. It doesn't matter who hacked what mail server, the real issue is that the server was accessible to be hacked. They could have locked things down while maintaining usability to the server using vpn's and allowing access to the server though those IP ranges.

Most these voter felt slighted long before the emails were released, these emails only backed up thier feelings.

They were told to deal with results and get in step to elect Clinton

I changed the name of the actor and voila, your post could have been made by someone here on the right before the 2009 inauguration of Obama. The wording could have been identical.

That's great but she never accused anyone of being something they're not. That was just another fabrication like the one about the DNC screwing Bernie. That's all the GOP has had for awhile now. Fabrications. Good thing for them there is no shortage of gullible fools like you eager to believe in those fabrications.

I feel bad for the fools that found out Clinton wasn't the shoe in candidate they believed her to be and are still angry about the results today.

Don't give a shit about Clinton. I only care about every single person that didn't vote strategically against Trump. And yes, that means I'm angry that there are so many stupid people in our country.

The Democrat party was relying on the ignorance of the common voter (especially liberal democrats) not looking in depth at an article in order to be able to differentiate between hacking e-mails and actually hacking voting machines,

and didn't try to clarify it when the liberal slanted media headlines were more or less "Russians Hack Elections" knowing.the general public would fall for it, reinforced by the Jill Stein recount that was supposedly done for "election integrity purposes".

This is one example how easily people can be manipulated based on presentation of a subject that a few minutes of research can clarify
http://www.snopes.com/science/dhmo.asp
In 1997, Nathan Zohner, a 14-year-old student at Eagle Rock Junior High School in Idaho Falls, made the news when he based his science fair project on a warning similar to the one reproduced in the "Example" box above. Zohner's project, titled "How Gullible Are We?", involved presenting that warning about "the dangers of dihyrogen monoxide" to fifty ninth-grade students and asking them what (if anything) should be done about the chemical:

Forty-three students favored banning DHMO, six were undecided, and only one correctly recognized that 'dihydrogen monoxide' is actually plain old water. Zohner's analysis of the results he obtained won him first prize in the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair; garnered him scads of attention from newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations, universities, and congresspeople; and prompted the usual round of outcries about how our ignorant citizenry doesn't read critically and can be easily misled
.
Di-Hydrogen= two atoms of Hydrogen
Monoxide= one atom of oxygen

put it together you get H2O

If you can fool people over something innocuous as plain water by using a different name for it, imagine how easy it is to manipulate bitter Hillary supporters to believe that someone actually hacked voting machines when it actually was just e-mails by presenting it as "THE RUSSIANS HACKED ELECTIONS",

since in their mind there was no way Hillary could lose to someone like Trump.outside of vote tampering.

It's interesting to me that you are aware of this when a single story like this comes from the left but are completely blind to the avalanche of misleading propaganda just like this and much, much worse coming from the right.

Attributing such belief to efforts of the Democratic Party is false & scurrilous. You couldn't quote Democrats of any rank as having said so if your life depended on it.

It started with this, and even then the so-called liberal media was questioning it-

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/1...he-basis-of-unfounded-russian-hacking-claims/

It's a great example of people believing what they want to believe. No group is immune to it even if Trumpism is based on it entirely.

America has been beguiled by the greatest charlatan who ever lived & by decades of relentless right wing agitprop preceding his uncanny seizing the results of it for himself.

It'll all get really weird & really ugly really fast I suspect, particularly if McConnell & crew abolish the filibuster entirely.

I really have the feeling that this is the start of a long-term institutional hatred of Russia within the D party. Like, the Nixon impeachment led to Dick Cheney wanting to restore presidential power, and he did so under W. We will probably get some blowback down the line on this within the D party.

Are you really trying to claim that a greater total number of people were insulted by things Clinton said than things Trump said? If not, it seems odd to say the election turned on insults.

No he's implying that Trump voters are so particularly thin skinned that a moderate slight will cause them to abandon all previous principles. But he can't actually say that because macho tough guy over here can't bring himself to say anything negative about his macho tough guy peers.

LOL...classic...couriers?!..Trump - the Dunning Kruger President strikes again. Lets try running an entire country on couriers and carrier pigeon..I guess the bicycle messenger industry and possibly the now defunct Pony Express will make a comeback. This guy is AMAZING!. Always creating jobs, even without trying.

I'm just waiting for the brave independently minded tough guy support group to show up. Surely together you can guys can raise enough self-confidence and brain cells to formulate a decent counterargument.
