That is perhaps true, sir, but i would submit that he was elected according to the supreme law of our land, the Constitution of the United States.

Therefore, he is just as legitimate as any president who has come before. I think it is sad, sir, that so many have questioned the legitimacy of our new President. i hope that he rules with fairness and equity.

It's odd when someone says sir out of the blue. It comes off as patronising.

how is it obvious? i just assume everyone on the internet is a man unless told otherwise, and i tend to use 'sir' generically.

Ah, look, that was your first mistake. Assuming everyone is male. Second mistake, you didn't read her sig.

It's in the sig. Since you are new here the sig is the thing that beneath all of your posts. You can put just about anything you want there. Hers says that she's a female

Second thread.

Demonstrations, intelligence indicating that Russia intentionally influenced the election towards Trump, a fight with a Broadway musical, Twitter feuds with Alec Baldwin, SNL, NBC, CNN, and a union representative (the last of which resulted in death threats for the rep), a strategist with ties to right-wing extremists and Neo-Nazis, figures in his own party openly breaking ranks against him, extra money being spent to keep his family safe because they want to stay in New York, cabinet appointees who seem to want to destroy the very department they head, a National Security advisor who promulgates outlandish conspiracy theories, ratcheting up military and diplomatic tensions with China, a proposed Secretary of State so close to the Russians that he faintly smells of borscht and vodka, and so much more...and it's been just a bit over a month. Imagine what the next four years have in store for us.

Join in! Let's start by talking about the hacking scandal discussed at length in the last thread. Just what in the bejabbers is going on here, and will Trump survive unscathed, or will a pall of illegitimacy stick to his Presidency as a result?

oh mygod he says the plan is almost complete!

I don't believe a word of it but DAYAM if he were telling the truth he would be worthy of being president. who has been putting together this plan that no one in either party could come up with (rejecting the notion of an NHS or medicare for all). has he talked to anyone in the medical field, anyone in the insurance field, run any of it past the GAO to see if it is economically feasible?

ITS ALMOST DONE!

I am sharing this with as many of you “Clinton won the majority” whiners as I can. Our Founders in their infinite wisdom created the Electoral College to ensure each STATE was fairly represented and they accounted for population with the formula for the number of Electoral votes per state. They believed that one or two densely populated areas should not speak for the whole of the nation. This should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense over the majority ( it won't however Because liberals are insane):

- There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

- Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57.

- There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16.

- Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 2.5 million votes. In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan,
Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond). Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

- These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles. When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of
territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election. Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t
speak for the rest of our country.

- Finally, Donald Trump campaigned as if to win 50 individual state elections as per the Constitution. He did it. So you want to say he doesn’t have a mandate from the States?

Meanwhile Clinton and her cronies continue to cry about Putin. Wah, wah, wah!!

Sorry. Not tired of winning yet!

Because universal access means everyone can get it... if they can pay. Universal Entitlement means everyone gets it with no strings attached.

If he actually pulled it off, it would be one of the most astounding political coups in US history. "We're repealing the filthy socialist Obamacare and replacing it with glorious capitalist universal healthcare... wait a minute..."

It would also completely wrong-foot the entire Washington establishment as they try to work out whether they're supposed to be supporting or opposing it.
