Hillary should suck it up and get on media calling out the protesters. Like it or not this guy is our president even if he didn't win the popular vote. He has surprised us every step of the way, he might just surprise us again. He deserves a chance.
I would guess the Iranians, Saudis, Chinese, and that asshole in North Korea are a little nervous with a seemingly unpredictable president elect who might not be as mentally unstable as he has led us to believe. The Russians are probably inhaling vodka in celebration.

Looks like the financial world has decide Trump"s not so bad. I think that is the silliest thing to have the financial world make massive shifts depending on some election some where. It was silly when the markets went down over Trump, and it's just as silly when the markets are going up over Trump. Same thing with Brexit. Some sectors are effected by that stuff but over all the financial part of the world keeps turning. My health ETF, has responded really well to the election. Has only made up a portion of its otherwise down year, buy hey, he hasn't repealed the ACA yet! As for the ACA, I think they'll make a few changes, rename it, and call it theirs.

Now that nobody apparently cares about Hillary's emails anymore, can anyone doubt there are more shoes awaiting dropping on Trump's head? Snopes reports as true that on Dec. 16 there will be a status conference on a lawsuit alleging that he raped a 13-year-old girl. www.snopes.com/2016/06/23/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit/

I didn't know that the Lady Pimp had corroborated the plaintiff until reading that, Don.

If, if, if, if there is fire to this smoke, lots of ifs, but if...
Trump might find that there are a lot of votes for impeachment and precious few to block the move.
Normally, it would be no problem, the R's would protect their own (as the Dems would). But, the Republican's own is the sitting VP, Pence. How tempting would it be for the House leadership to dump a Trump they don't trust and put their guy Pence in charge. The only congress critters with a interest in defending Trump would be liberal Democrats, and that move would be too embarrassing to carry out. With Pence as his VP, Trump would be friendless if the shit hit the fan.

If DJT does nothing else, it will be a good thing that he has ended the Clintons ... activities.

If any of these charges were substantiated between now and Dec. 19, I couldn't think of more appropriate grounds for the election results to be overturned by the electoral college, which meets on that date to officially elect a president. Not likely to happen, but in this extraordinary year, who knows?

And always timely, no matter who wins the election or ends up in power in Washington DC:
We can meet the new boss, same as the old boss, as Trump the outsider non-politician fills his transition team and cabinet with Washington insider politicians stretching back to the Reagan administration.

How is it all my facebook friends already have access to Trump's cabinet appointees? I've googled high and low and I can't find the news story that contains even the first cabinet appointee. Where are they finding this news?

To be fair, the cabinet appointees are all rumors at this point.

I'm not sure, but I do have an hypothesis. Maybe I'm not finding the Trump appointees because the list has only been published by the outlets that told me that Trump wasn't going to win.

Could be. That's an interesting hypothesis and I'll take it under advisement.

You do realize that facebook's "newsfeed" is one of the stupidest, most-susceptible-to-user-abuse things ever?
