Did any Americans vote for Trump?
Or were all Trump votes hacked into our voting machines?
It seems all the worldā€™s worst put Trump in office.

Iā€™m struggling to avoid confirmation bias here, but nothing suggests these greedy assholes arenā€™t guilty as shit of treason. You donā€™t have to willfully defy credulity to believe these pricks didnā€™t lie steal and cheat.

Give them due process. Make sure their rights are protected. Then remember, treason is a capital offense.

at this point, iā€™m willing to go with both positions (and folks on here already know how i feel about the latter*.)

*-:I still donā€™t believe that the machines were hacked, but as of today, it wouldnā€™t surprise me if they were.

OT:
Art Acevedo, Houston police chief, Facebook post

To all my Facebook friends. Today I spent the day dealing with another mass shooting of children and a responding police officer who is clinging to life. Iā€™m not ashamed to admit Iā€™ve shed tears of sadness, pain and anger.

I know some have strong feelings about gun rights but I want you to know Iā€™ve hit rock bottom and I am not interested in your views as it pertains to this issue. Please do not post anything about guns arenā€™t the problem and thereā€™s little we can do. My feelings wonā€™t be hurt if you de-friend me and I hope yours wonā€™t be if you decide to post about your views and I de-friend you.

I have never accepted the status-quo in anything I do and Iā€™ve never accepted defeat. And I wonā€™t do it now. I will continue to speak up and will stand up for what my heart and my God commands me to do, and I assure you he hasnā€™t instructed me to believe that gun-rights are bestowed by him.

The hatred being spewed in our country and the new norms we, so-called people of faith are accepting, is as much to blame for so much of the violence in our once pragmatic Nation.

This isnā€™t a time for prayers, and study and Inaction, itā€™s a time for prayers, action and the asking of Godā€™s forgiveness for our inaction (especially the elected officials that ran to the cameras today, acted in a solemn manner, called for prayers, and will once again do absolutely nothing).

I close by saying, I wish those that move on from this page the best. May God Bless you and keep you.

Nader reportedly told Trump Jr. that the Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates crown princes were ā€œeagerā€ to help his father win the election.

Trump Jr. reportedly ā€œresponded approvinglyā€

"[Junior] was not interested and that was the end of it.ā€

Iā€™m sure Futerfas knows the law doesnā€™t work that way.

It shall be unlawful forā€”
(1) a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to makeā€”
(A) . . . an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;

Traitor Tot will hear the clanging of the cell door before his old man does, and realize he was just a cog in the machine, too.

Wasnā€™t Erik Prince at the Seychelles meeting with Nader and a ā€œreal princeā€ (UAE maybe)? Did he think he would get some big money to cause problems in Iran? These trumper traitors are disgusting. I have an idea: lock them up.

Ha! Yeah, I remember that interview. When Colbert asked him to name the commandments, the guy just grinned and shrugged, but Colbert persisted, and finally the candidate said, ā€œUh, donā€™t kill, donā€™t steal ā€¦ā€ and fell silent.

What a moran!
