Well, we've got a bigger problem, Henry.

What's become clear in the last few days is pretty much as follows: the American people can no longer know what the true "will of the people is," because your electoral process is broken beyond repair. It can be subverted from a thousand angles by interests that have no relevance to the will of the American people, and there's not a thing they can do about it right now.

Job number 1, no matter who is president, ought to be electoral reform. That would include things like an absolute end to mail-in balloting, the absolute requiring of ID for all voting, the end of pre-election polling, bi-partisan scrutineering, and a one-day national election, among other things. And procedure for every state has to be strict, standard and transparent. I would suggest that significant prison terms should attach to any covert activity that stands to skew an election, as well.

But right now, the biggest problem America has is the lack of confidence citizens can have in whatever is being presented to them as "the vote." Nobody believes they know the truth right now...even those who are "getting what they want" for the moment.

Awesome, the "enema," (or is that supposed to be enigma), matters not as enema is more appropriate anyway, that was Trump is OVER!! I guess he was Trumped!! The "brain dead fuck" sought his just reward and got it, right between the eyes, that must really hurt..., good! The best thing that could have ever happened.

NOW ALL US AMERICANS THAT ACTUALLY LOVE OUR CHILDREN'S, CHILDREN'S, CHILDREN, ETC, ETC, ETC, can rest assured that the WORLD TOGETHER shall beat GLOBAL WARMING, (at least they'll give it the old college try), despite those that HATE EVERYONE BUT THEMSELVES, IN THEIR SELFISH NOW, ONLY.

I called it in the beginning, that he would be the worst president ever, and his short reign, after four years, says it all, only really fucked up, so called, presidents get ended that way.

Good riddance to: The Spoiled Child, The IDIOT of all IDIOTS, The All Time Failure (how many bankruptcies was it), The Bigot, The User, The Epitome Of All Liars, The Self Sucker, The Supreme Ego Maniac, The Megalomaniac! GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE!!

And now back to our regularly scheduled program of normalcy.

That just goes to show how dumb they are. Anytime a dozen ballots show up with the same name on an alphabetical list, the whole operation is blown. Too bad no on thought of that!

Well, we've got a bigger problem, Henry.

damn straight

thing is, endin' early votin', endin' mail-in ballots (but retainin' absentee ballots), requirin' valid id to vote, and transparently & rigorously countin' only legal votes, won't happen if the houseplant & whore win

mail-in ballots, no voter id, countin' anything that resembles a ballot, allowin' ballots to be ushered in well after the cut off point, these are the things makin' it easy to oust ORANGE MAN

no, before reform can happen, ORANGE MAN has to play this out to the full extent...challenge every doubtful count...if he wins, then he can push congress...if he's ousted, nuthin' changes (and I mean nuthin'...as I say, gridlock will be the way of things)

C’mon you, SOB, it’s time to put the trash talk aside.

You are right, but quit complaining. That was then, and this is now. To all anti-Trumpers, progressives and social Democrats, all I can say is get over it.

And you pro-Trumpers, conservatives and Republicans spewing your venom about the calamities of the next 4 yrs, you had your turn. That was then, and this is now. Get used to it.

Right now, they won't; you're right.

But there's an old saying: "Live by the sword, die by the sword." The same dirty tricks that get one person elected can get his next opposition elected. At the end of the day, it's in no American interest that the process remain corrupt. If you can be manipulated into power, you can be manipulated out of it, too. All it means is that the whole thing turns into a dirty process in which only the dirtiest can win each time.

It's kind of important to fix that, given the importance of the US to world democracy.

It’s a national/federal election.
