CondoRice is gonna get that one
Garamendi said that "during the George W. Bush period, there were 13 attacks on various embassies and consulates around the world. Sixty people died." There are actually different ways to count the number of attacks, especially when considering attacks on ambassadors and embassy personnel who were traveling to or from embassy property. Overall, we found Garamendi slightly understated the number of deadly attacks and total fatalities, even using a strict definition. Garamendi’s claim is accurate but needs clarification or additional information, so we rate it Mostly True.

Cute kid. If he were a girl, Trump would be saying he's going to be dating her in 10 years.

First of all this is hilarious!
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Trump extends olive branch to Hillary.
Offers her KEY Government position
as Ambassador to BENGHAZI!!! Thank you for a laugh, Cosmic.
You know, maybe Trump thinks faster than most people who have the "normal" attention span of about 15 minutes for most things. So maybe it isn't all bad. I'm willing to give the guy a chance. At least a couple of months in office. It's all just smoke and mirrors now, being put into position. Good luck to us all.
Werner, I am also laughing robustly. :)

Did a road ride this afternoon and by chance ended up riding with this guy named Kevin from up-state New York who had a friend that owned a large real estate firm in New York City...Kevin knew Trump and said Trump was not that smart when it came to making business decisions...

^^^ Ah, right. On the basis of that evidence, I am now so very sorry that I voted for him. Sheesh, WHY couldn't solid info like that have come to light prior to this election?
Why, why, why???

Y'all probably don't know that Henry Ford declared bankruptcy like four times.
He got it right eventually.

Here's an interesting essay. Maybe some good points?
"Tuesday night, as it became apparent that Mr. Trump would win, I saw myself as others may see me. Pundits were beside themselves talking about sexism, “whitelash” and bigotry. I read three articles comparing him to Hitler. I understand what they meant. But just as President Obama was not a Manchurian candidate, Mr. Trump is not Hitler. The seeds of 1933 may have been planted, but they can grow only through our hate and divisiveness.
I don’t question your right and reasons to feel fear. But don’t fear Donald Trump the way I feared Barack Obama. I read a perfect election summation: The people who were against Mr. Trump took him literally but not seriously. His supporters took him seriously but not literally. It is the same pattern of 2000 and 2008. We heard President Obama was coming for our church and our guns. We were mocked. We thought those who laughed were lying or stupid. Yet, I still go to church, sometimes with a gun.
Wednesday night the streets were already chanting obscenities and calling him names he earned as a candidate, but not ones he deserves as our next president. Mr. Obama and Hillary Clinton have offered wise council: Give him a chance. The country needs him to succeed and represent all Americans. I can make an argument that Mr. Trump — who has been liberal for much of his life and has supported Planned Parenthood — holds views that resonate with liberals, including restricting trade and spending $1 trillion on infrastructure. The left and the right may find they have some common ground.
If our Mr. Trump, or any future president, should decide to round up Muslims (or any group) as America did with Japanese during World War II under Franklin D. Roosevelt, I will declare, “I am a Muslim.” My values, honor, integrity and the Bill of Rights demand I stand for those most unlike me — that is when it counts.
Let’s get past politics and find common principles. Can we all agree that we live in historic times and we are all determined to leave a legacy for our children of courage, kindness and reconciliation that makes their life better than ours?"

I hate the electoral college. I live in a red state, and my vote doesn't count. Likewise, conservatives in California suffer the same fate.
We should make our national elections based on actual votes. In this case, Clinton won the most votes but lost the election.
Being in a state that is certain to vote one way disenfranchises anyone not with the majority party. There should be a constitutional amendment doing away with the electoral college and make it a popular vote.
Base, you are wrong.
The Constitution requires that the winner have a majority, and although Hillary had more votes, she did not have a majority (Thanks, Johnson and Stein).
In that case, the election goes to the House, which votes in the next President. If you did not know, the House has a majority of Repugs.

Thank you. That's gracious of you.
But, really, it was my own fault. I blame myself. I did not go cruising for information of that caliber.
Aiiiii... I'm to blame! I'm to blame!
