At least I didn’t vote for someone that:

  1. talked about banning people from coming into the country based on religion.

  2. talked with pride about sexual harassing/assaulting women.

  3. made fun of a disabled reporter

  4. insulted the parents of a soldier that made the ultimate sacrifice for the country.

  5. said a judge was unqualified due to his race

  6. said Mexicans were criminals.

  7. talked about doing away with Nato

  8. is buddy-buddy with Putin

  9. was a reality tv star

  10. is completely totally unqualified for the Presidency.

Trump voters, you disgraced the country and yourselves.

Quote from the article …

While these uncounted votes may grow Clinton’s popular lead, they absolutely will not change the course of the election. That math is settled; Trump holds an insurmountable lead in swing states, which turned his popular defeat into a sizable electoral victory. All the votes in liberal-leaning New York and California will not change that.

None of what you said changes the fact the most people did not vote for Trump and more people voted for Hillary than Trump.

I didn’t say any of that, it was quoted from the article.

very well, I will edit the post to note that.

As for your other comment, I will not respond out of respect for Frink and the forum. There is no need to gaslight the conversation in to something that adds nothing to the discussion.

What Frink said was correct.

It is your right to agree with his opinion but labeling members of this forum that did vote Trump in such a manner is not good form.

too bad. Right now, I care very little about showing respect to Trump voters.

It has nothing to do with correct or incorrect.

actually, it has everything to do with it.

What about the Russian operative that was in the voting booth with me?

Amazingly enough, this list doesn’t even scratch the surface.

Making jokes like this doesn’t get rid of Russia’s role in the election. Everyone should be concerned about it, and a few respectable Republicans are, but most (including yourself, as well as most of congress) are willing to look the other way just because the guy with the “R” next to his name (never mind that he isn’t an “R”) and who isn’t a Clinton is the one who won.

No Russian operative was needed in your voting booth.

I think it’s hypocritical that a man accused of sexual assault would paint Mexican immigrants as a bunch of rapists.

^^^^^^The argument is pointless. The Election was decided. The Inauguration is tomorrow. Most of what you said has either been debunked or is still unsubstantiated. The only things I see as absolute fact is that he was a reality T.V. star and he apologized for #2 numerous times. It was in poor form and he admitted as much. #1 has long since been retired. As to #7, talked about and doing are 2 different things entirely.

I am okay with how you feel. I would have you notice that I personally, haven’t said any kind of mean junk about people who voted for or believed in Hillary Clinton, and I voted for Trump. Dr. Jill Stein was a bust and Bernie Sanders had the rug pulled out from under him by his own party. It was a sad state of affairs all the way around.

Can you imagine his reaction if Clinton had won and there rumor going around that the Russians helped her? He’d be calling for a rebellion right now or he’d be demanding that Texas secede.

Republicans would have already begun impeachment proceedings.

whatever.

He’s right. The hysterics prompted a lot of people to vote for Trump to spite the faux outrage on the left. Ironically it created a lot of faux outrage on the right too.

He apologized because he got caught. I don’t take his apology as sincere.

#1 has long since been retired.

it has??

true, but talking about it is stupid enough.

Dr. Jill Stein was a bust and Bernie Sanders had the rug pulled out from under him by his own party. It was a sad state of affairs all the way around.

Only reason I voted for Hillary was because it gave the best chance at stopping Trump. There are some Republicans I would have voted for instead of Hillary and there are some where I would have voted third party/independent/write-in instead of voting for them or Hillary.

Not the outrage about Trump specifically, but the general faux outrage about non-issues like memes and Ghostbusters.

Perhaps “faux” was the wrong word. How about “hysterical”?

He most certainly was a reality tv star and is most certainly unqualified for the Presidency.

He was a reality star but his claim to fame comes from his business empire much more than his tenure on Celebrity Apprentice. It’d be like referring to Robin Williams as the star of Patch Adams. It isn’t wrong, but it is leaving out what he’s actually known for and implies that that is all that he was.

Wether or not Russia hacked the election, they are still a very dangerous country. I for one do not want to see the Baltic countries lose their independence yet again because Trump goes soft on NATO. Any president has only eight years to run the country, while Putin can just change the rules to stay in power, until he dies of old age twenty years from now. Who knows what despot will take over Russia after that?

I don’t think that being a reality TV star is automatically a bad thing that deserves to be on a list of problems with him. And who determines what “qualified” is? Technically, he is qualified to be president;

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

If that’s not the definition of qualified that we’re using, then it comes down to opinion and the conversation doesn’t go anywhere.

my point is no one that has anything to do “reality” tv show, should be anywhere near the Oval Office. It is not a place for clowns.

The fact is, Trump really is no worse than anyone else in Washington. That is to say, he’s a pretty terrible person.

My point of view happened to be, he was a far better choice than Hillary, which doesn’t mean he was great. I was shopping for a pizza and only got to pick between a rotten banana and a rotten apple. I chose the nanner.

Bill Clinton was a clown and he made it in, LOL.
