    Interesting anecdote. Once, I was pulled over for speeding (going 70+ in a 55 zone). the officer asked me how fast was I going. I said, "around 72 mph or so." He looked startled. Then he said, "okay, I'm going to issue a citation where you pay a fine, but it won't be a speeding ticket, because you were honest with me."

      And for those on here who say they didn't support Trump or his rhetoric, I leave two quotes.





      People always look back at the rise of the Third Reich and say, "it could never happen here", "we're too smart to allow that to happen", "we'd never fall for that kind of thing".

      Well just open your eyes and take a look around you. This isn't the kind of America I want to be living in. Do you?

      But this is what you voted for.
      The thing is...every day Drumpf doesnt help fight this is further proof that the vile rhetoric he spewed wasnt just to fleece the haters, but because he IS a hater. There is no false equivalency for that.

      Which is why it is ironic Frauddy is so happy...Drumpf is about to do everything he has warned us about. But its ok cause he isnt Obama

        Hillary won Orange County, CA. First time a Dem has ever won that.

          That is an extremely misleading statistic. Technically, it is not at all a true statement. Money lost to fraud is not counted as part of overhead when technically it should be, as fraud is a result of lax oversight.

            Trump has tweeted that he wants Trey "Benghazi Hearing" Gowdy as Attorney General. I hope Black Lives Matter enjoys all the arrests.

              I didn't see the 200 arrested in LA last night wearing those. The riot cops, yes; the rioters, no.

                You wanna bet on this? I bet if they privatize Social Security bankruptcies over Medical issues increases at least 25%.

                        I wonder if people will finally wake up when the first legislation starts to come through and the Cabinet from Hell is formed? I somehow doubt it.

Trump just won the presidency by discarding any semblance of filters. I say it's time to speak to people in loud clear words exactly how stupidly they've behaved. Some of the bad things that are going to happen in the coming months and years were going to happen no matter who won on Tuesday. But plenty of them are going to be because 6 million Democratic voters were dumb. They need to be told that. Again and again.
                          People will do dumb things their entire life. That's why we're human and not robots or brainwashed drones. As someone said, "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

                          This may have been a brilliant election result or a disaster. Or it may muddle through having soring ideas and little accomplishments, or middling ideas and soaring accomplishments.

                          Who knows? The electorate went completely outside the box on this one. There is no precedent. We'll see.
