You're funny. Clinton won California without trying. Of course she knew it didn't matter how much she won by, and that the popular vote didn't matter. That's why she didn't campaign in California Or Wisconsin When do we get a "like" button here?

There is no saving the snowflakes, in order to save them you must first confront them and that would involve invading their "safe places" and then you would be accused of attacking or violating them and end up in jail.

What is wrong with telling people that want to come here and live here to become Americans and assimilate to our culture? I personally think it is rude to come here and expect the people here assimilate to them.

What gets me is that the states with the most wealthy (the 1%ers that the liberals hate) were told sorry, the states representing the 99% people have control this time. And the liberals are all pissed about that. LOL

Hadn't you heard (from the Trump camp), actual numbers don't matter. As long as Trump won the Electoral by a few votes, he won bigly and in a "landslide." He won by a lot of electoral votes. Trump was smart and understood how the election process worked. If Hillary understood that simple fact she might have won. Trump new California was a lost cause and spent his time where it counted. California is why Hillary won the popular vote but that does not count in an election for president and Trump knows that. If Hillary is not smart enough to understand how the election process works she is not good enough to be president. Hillary did not know how to win the election and could not protect her secretes on the computer, these 2 things made her unqualified to be president. (IMO)

I want you to look at the attached. Source: https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3ABA&ei=BaNJWJHxHo6M2AaV2ILQCA What really bothers me is that the left is surprised that foreign countries spy on us. The left does not think they do or they would have better security on their emails. Point #1 why Hillary would be bad (our secretes would be open to the world). Next they don't care what was in the emails, maybe that is why she lost. Hillary is a hot head, vile, poor excuse for a human and the people voting for Trump saw that. Now I was not hoping for Trump but he was the best option given to me to vote for. A least I voted for the agenda presented, not the sex or color of the candidate. Go ahead and take a careful look at it. What you're looking for is that vertical plummet right at the start of December 6. That's over 100 times the "penny" you said. That's movement that could not have been predicted by anyone without knowledge of Trump's tweet. The second thing I want you to look at is how many shares of stock are normally traded. The blue line just prior to then plunge in stock price before the tweet. See it? What's that about? I think it's worth somebody looking at. Facts are immaterial to the reich wing conservatards. It is completely pointless to introduce factual material into any communications with those people. They simply DO NOT CARE about factual information. The only information they believe is that which supports their beliefs. Any contrary information is discarded. It takes a studiously applied deliberate ignorance to be a Reich Wing Conservatard. Picking out only the information (however disproven to be incorrect) that support their beliefs is how their minds work. Half the population is of less than average intelligence. That is how we got to where we are now. Ignorant, ill informed people with completely defective bullshit detectors voted in the Russian backed Rump. I never thought I would see the day where Putin's pal could actually fool a good portion of the US population into voting for him. The fact that he picked a recipient of a Medal of Friendship from Putin as the SecState is truly amazing. The insane MYTH of a "liberal media" is completely exposed by the lack of response to the nomination of another of Putin's pals as SecState. If Hilary Clinton had done the same, the banner headlines on every news site would be in 48 point font, starting the day the nomination was made, and continuing until it was withdrawn. The facts are totally obvious. On the bright side for the racist misogynistic TURDS that voted for Rump, there won't be a nigger and his family in the White House on January 21, 2017. Happy times. The Rump family won't be moving in to the White House. They'll stay in New York and fuck up the whole neighborhood around Rump Tower because they care so much about the USA and small businesses. Especially the small businesses around Rump Tower. Rump's concern for those businesses is the same as all the contractors that he fucked over with the Atlantic City casino construction and operations - none at all. This country is fucked. A worthless maggot made it as POTUS. The USA is a laughingstock of the world. We'll be at war with China over trade and the South China Sea, while getting into the middle east with boots on the ground and body bags coming home. Calling the Republican party the RED party makes perfect sense. They are now closely aligned with Putin and Russia. Thank you, worthless maggots. You really fucked over the USA now. How is it that you came to hate the USA, it's government, and all of the values this country used to stand for?

Trump won the over 50k a year earners, American born, veteran, and married groups. these groups tend to lean towards conservative ideals, are hard working, tax paying and have an education more then high school. I guess the thought that he won the uneducated is wrong.

It is just a matter of time before the balance of people shifts to the left and the only people the progressives will be able to sensor is their own. It is already starting to happen as we see the colleges start to shut down the free speech on campus's around the country. Look at the college in Mo just running their president out because a couple people got their feelings hurt. This guy did nothing to these people but was held responsible for not stopping the 3 situations that caused a couple week minded people from getting their little feelings hurt.

Let me answer by imperfect analogy: what you've argued was pretty much the same argument used in the 1950s & 60s re: racial civil rights in the US, and the use of (in that case, mostly federal) courts to enforce those civil rights. The doom-predicting wasn't borne out then; it won't be now, either. But the courts do now have to give the case a review based on previous rulings and at least polygamy would have a chance at this point. I don't think a ruling on gay marriage has any relevance to rulings on legalizing polygamous marriages. Why wouldn't it? it is discrimination to not allow gay marriage same if you don't allow multiple consenting adults. The gay community said it should be ok for consenting adults to marry, you telling me that there can't be 3, 4, or more consenting adults?

It is an almost perfect example of a slippery slope fallacy. rationalwiki.org/wiki/Slippery_slope It may have other factors that will effect the outcome but one factor has now been eliminated.

If you really want to point fingers to the cause, you have to go back to when the government started awarding special rights, privileges, and advantages to marriage. The government basically had two options with both interracial and orientation marriages: expand the rights to include the "new" group, or limit the rights of the traditional group going forward. I wish they would take away those "special rights" because they cost me a lot of money, I could use a tax break.

Why is it a slippery slope John? The courts created the slippery slope with the ruling. There are many times people use one courts ruling to back there suite. It happens every day. Why would the current court ruling based on discrimination against gays not be relevant in another court? If a gay couple can marry then so can a polygamist with multiple partners, so can a woman that wants to marry her cat, and a 50 year old to a 14 year old. Denying them would be discrimination also, wouldn't it?

My point is that by making gay marriage legal through the courts it opens the door for many more that are even farther over most people's lines to get rulings in their favor based on legal president set up by the courts. We should have the people vote through elections and not have the court make law through lawsuits. Now that the courts have overturned gay marriage bans and basically made it law for gays to marry as to not discriminate, all others now have a legal in for other forms of unions based on the gay marriage rulings.

Helping my cause? I am just pointing out that there are many people that believe differently then you. If some disagrees with gay marriage these days they are put on the front page of the news and called bigots, seems to me that someone that disagrees with minors getting married they would be bigots also.

Next will probably be polygamy, and then emancipated teens wanting to marry their sugar daddies...then it will be all those girls oppressed by evil christian parents who dare discipline their children and keep them locked up to where they may only have that "one chance" to sneak out and embrace the freedom of their sexual maturity... Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, discriminating against two consenting adults who want to be married, because you don't want 5 consenting adults to be able to get married is silly. I like how you say " consenting adults" why would you discriminate against teens?

There are many people already that want to marry their pet http://www.dividedstates.com/indiana-woman-wants-marry-her-pet-dog-tries-to-rally-support-from-gay-rights-activists/ And nambla has been trying http://johngaltfla.com/wordpress/2013/06/30/a-supreme-court-victory-for-nambla/

since same sex marriage is mostly legal, I was wondering when multi partner, animals, and groups like Manbla will get their turns to marry?

Warren Buffet uses that same reasoning for increased taxes on the very wealthy. Unfortunately he gets made fun of. I strongly agree with you. Warren Buffet for higher taxes? you mean the rich guy that does not pay his own taxes? His words might have some meaning if he actually paid his legal share.

But the warmer temps in the urban areas has nothing to do with carbon emissions, it has to do about structures and paving absorbing the heat.

This is how the earth orbits the sun and the orbit is related to the ice ages that have been recorded. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles there is a direct relationship with planet temps and the orbit around the sun with variables based on other planets.

I personally don't think that humans are causing changes in the climate, I personally feel that the earths climate is directly related to the changing orbit of the earth around the sun and the solar flares off the sun just like it has been since the beginning of the planet. But even if we are causing changes to the climate we will never be around long enough to see it become an issue. The greatest issue we face is food. At this point we are consuming more then this planet is producing. if you continue the population growth over the next 200 years that we have seen over the last 200 years the oceans will be void of large animals and starvation will become the number 1 cause of death. If people want to do something that would really make a difference for the people of earth they would spend the money learning how to increase the animal life in the oceans and how to slow the population growth of the world. If we are changing the climate of the planet it will correct itself when the population starves itself until the proper balance has been achieved.

It does make sense and it is legal If the US keeps the tax rates high as they are today many more will follow this sound business practice As well they should being patriotic and a good businessman are 2 different things, when the left starts to realize this things may start getting better. How long does the left think a CEO will keep his job if he passes up on saving the company tens of millions $s?

silly man - If poverty is DEFINED as the bottom 15% of income earners, then all we need to do is pull up everybody in the bottom 15% up above 16%...... . . . . Just like know, we have nearly 95% of students are above average. we should just use that logic and methods and all will be fixed. I guess you did not understand what was wrote. reread and get back to me. I suggest you look up the words "wry", "sarcasm", "cynicism", "smiley faces" and "humor" and then reread and get back to me first. edit: on reading further. You should add "liberal" "libertarian" and maybe review math, statistics, quartiles, and percentages. enjoy Sorry I did not see the wink.
