Duckworth cautions Trump: 'We're not a military junta'

While Trump has yet to be sworn in and become president, can we just stipulate that there are many things that could be negatives and move on from there? Because, honestly, I can't imagine what good endlessly wallowing in anti-Trump obsession is going to do. The question is, what to do next.
I've been thinking about what good the traditional mediators - like the Sierra Club - might do, if any, at the political level. The problem as I see it is that they got comfortable playing the political game. We give them money, they meet and schmooze with politicians, nothing significant changes, and life goes on. If that process wasn't broken before, now it truly will be.
From my perspective, the best results have come from the Sierra Club, Clean Air Coalition, and others filing lawsuits against the federal EPA or individual states to get specific action.
The one tactic that the NRA has used very successfully is the targeted phone-call campaign. That could be an effort worthy of support as well.
And, in general, it might be worth while to support Sanders, Warren, and Duckworth as the major contenders (to date) against the Trump agenda.

I actually don't know where to begin, so I'll dive right in.
Quote:
Obama doubled our national debt and the only "jobs" that were "recovered" in the last 8 years were part time[\quote]
Hmmm, let's see...the country handed over to him in 2008 in near financial collapse
+Since President Barack Obama first took office:
+Homicides have dropped 13 percent, but gun sales have surged.
+The economy has added more than 9 million jobs, and the jobless rate has dropped to below the historical median.
+The number of long-term unemployed Americans has dropped by 614,000 under Obama, but it is still 761,000 higher than at the start of the Great Recession.
+Corporate profits are up 166 percent; real weekly wages are up 3.4 percent.
+There are 15 million fewer people who lack health insurance.
+Wind and solar power have nearly tripled, and now account for more than 5 percent of U.S. electricity.
+The federal debt has more than doubled — rising 116 percent — and big annual deficits have continued.

No, sorry...he doesn't get off that easy! No, fuck that. For 8 fucking years Obama has been scalded with unrelenting heat from the boobs in the peanut gallery. Especially from his Dick-head-ness. Fuck no, it's Trump's turn now. Fuck him if he can't stand the heat, the little fucking cry-baby. Trump hasn't been installed yet (the Kremlin spank) and he's already began his backpedaling campaign. Reneging on his campaign promises. Of course, that's what politicians do, and of course, he's doing exactly what he was claiming to be against and expel the corrupt. Ooops!
Why can't we do both. Put him into a political vise grip with the Dems who dare to dream big! Like Shumer, Sanders, Warren, Duckworth and Cummings, and publicly humiliate Drumpf with constant bombardment by calling him out on the different promises he made.
I'm not of the mind, like the Obamas, of going High when they go Low. I'm for beating him to a bloody pulp with a 2x4, like the mangy dog that he is, then going on to right the ship with true patriots. So, I'm for giving him a boot in the ass, a "git out the way bitch" and let the real professionals do the job. This idiot is playing monopoly with house money. This fucking guy is taking the helm of the Titanic, but thinks that he's steering with a PlayStation control (fucking moron). I say Fuck Him, ridicule his ass as harshly as possible, but make sure that the right people have the real control over the country (not these Neo-Fucking Nazis).
MacArthur and FDR are turning over in their graves.

I'm not saying I disagree - or agree. I just have no idea what you mean. afaik the worst thing the repubs did wasn't name-calling, it was being the party of 'no'. So who is Dick-head-ness?

I'm from the old school. You hit me, I don't go High, as the president has graciously shown. I hit you back twice as hard. That's how I've survived (funny thing about that, it's how Frump operates. Imagine that!) It's a New York thing!
Dick-Head-Ness...basically, the Grand Poobah, His Drumpfness, you know, the Great White Dope. For the next 4 years, I will be doing this no matter what.
Like I said - FUCK HIM!
Don't expect you to agree, or not. By the way, it's not about name-calling. It's about lack of respect for the office, and the man. A man who studied and worked to get to the Top Spot in the entire world. Nothing was handed to him by daddy. He was not afforded the luxuries the Donald was provided and yet became POTUS, despite the obstacles that face a man of color in this day and age. Let's set that aside.
Do you honestly, and I mean honestly, believe that THIS man is qualified?
The party of "No." To actually do nothing to advance the country that they supposedly serve. Name-calling is nothing compared to the concerted effort to embarrass and delegitimize the POTUS. Imagine...if the Dems would have done that to Reagan or Poppa Bush?
I am not speaking strictly in regards to race, only the most important and influential office in the world. Repubs embarrassed the country and themselves....and now we go a step further by allowing the fucking Russians
to run our country and hand-pick our next president.
That speaks volumes.

1kiki, I am dishonest you say? Your example was not honest. You brought up 13 million contributing to Katrina and Rita victims. Would 13 million also vote in state and local elections? Yes, they would. That only leaves 310 million other Americans who did not contribute aid, even as little as 25 cents, to victims for whatever selfish or political reasons. Maybe that 310 million don't believe in charity toward others? Maybe they are simply indifferent toward people in faraway states? I'm just saying.
But perhaps some of the 310 million voted. Out of that 310 million who did NOTHING to help victims, the Republican party could very easily form a permanently ruling majority in many states to kill government aid for larger and more enduring problems than Katrina and Rita.
Hurricanes are now out of season until June 1st, but poverty is year round. It will take more than 13 million Americans to permanently solve poverty, especially if the other 310 million Americans object or simply don't help for whatever reasons.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, Scrooge 1kiki!

Americans donated generously after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
9% of online users – or 13 million people – donated online for Katrina and Rita relief; The number of online donors is up 53% overall since January 2005

I could also mention the many union organizers who crossed state lines to help others unionize for better pay and working conditions.
So this statement - Americans don't care about other Americans -is, by the evidence of historical facts, proven wrong.
That makes YOUR assertion - that all statements are true - equally wrong.
In any case, since you freely claim things that are obviously untrue, and that are also easily demonstrated to be untrue, I'm not going to bother continuing. Btw, I hope you realize that out of all your posts, I scroll past your regurgitation of other people's opinions, and when it comes to your personal posts, I only go up to the first lie. Which means I probably scroll past 95% of them at a minimum.
It's too bad you're too dishonest for adult, rational discussion. I'm just curious why, in this particular discussion, a presumably sane person such as yourself would hew to a line of thought so patently divergent from reality and so easily shown to be untrue.

Sanders and Warren and Duckworth won't be able to hold back the Republican tide. It will be the King Canute legend: No matter what Sanders and Company do, the tide will eventually go back out again without Sanders' help and the Republicans in Congress will lose some of their absolute control. In the meantime we are all getting wet thanks to people who were too disgusted to vote for either Trump or Hillary. Or who used their vote to send a message to Hillary. That would be 1kiki, would it not?

Trump is whining about Hillary getting 3,000,000 more votes than he did:
Quote:
Campaigning to win the Electoral College is much more difficult & sophisticated than the popular vote. Hillary focused on the wrong states! I would have done even better in the election, if that is possible, if the winner was based on popular vote - but would campaign differently
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/811562990285848576
Trump is apparently still chafing at critics' claims that he lacks a popular mandate. This is possibly because Trump has never acknowledged that FBI Director James Comey’s infamous letter on the 28th actually won the election. And the letter did it all by itself, without any help from Trump or his campaign.
I think Trump should honor Comey’s original letter by framing and hanging it in a prominent location in the Oval Office for all his guests to read.

A lot of people really did switch to Donald Trump at the last minute:

Quote:
While no one moved from Trump to Clinton, 0.9 percent of our respondents moved from Clinton to Trump....Trump also outpaced Clinton among people who were previously undecided or third-party backers, with 3.1 percent of respondents moving from those categories to Trump while just 2.3 percent did the same for Clinton. Clinton also saw 3.1 percent of her October supporters defecting to third-party candidates or becoming undecided. Trump lost just 1.7 percent.
Let's add this up:
Trump gained 0.9 + 3.1 - 1.7 = +2.3 percent
Clinton gained -0.9 + 2.3 - 3.1 = -1.7 percent
The October poll ended on the 24th. FBI Director James Comey released his infamous letter on the 28th. The November poll then showed Hillary Clinton with a net loss of 4 percent compared to Trump.
