Of Course We Want Them to Leave
[QUOTE=BigBossMan;448173]Maybe Trump and the Republican Congress will reduce the tax hit to renounce citizenship and leave the country? Most of the Hollywood types that would make news that they are leaving the country are rich enough to buy a second home. Whatever country they are in they will not stop working.
The protests are dying out.
If we are going to restrict immigration, we need the young people to work and grow the economy and fight Islamic terrorism. I don't think we want them to leave.[/QUOTE]Of course we want them to leave.
The talelentless Rappers and Actors the left-wing Nuts and the Thankless Athletes that refuse to stand-up and pledge their Allegiance .
They would be working at McDonald's if they couldn't catch a football or a basketball .
Fuck the Youth and their brainwashed ldeas.

One thing that gives me the willies
Conway keeps using the word "sacrifice." Trump has made a great sacrifice to become President of the United States. Priebus and Bannon are making great sacrifices to become Chief of Staff and Chief Strategist. What exactly are they sacrificing to become some of the most powerful people in the world? I realize this probably appeals born again Christian crowd to which I do not belong.
I always hated John Lennon's song "The Ballad of John and Yoko.".
"Christ you know it ain't easy.
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going.
They're going to crucify me".
I actually shiver every time I hear it.
Popular Vote lead now over 1 million
According to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, Clinton's popular vote total now stands at 61,964,263 compared to 60,961,967 Trump. Four years ago Trump called the Electoral College 'a disaster', now he calls it 'a genius'. But consistency never was his forte.
If it walks like a duck....
See DR even you are ashamed to be called a liberal, you changed it to progressive - the more aggressive form of liberalism. Woodrow Wilson would be proud.
I didn't call Liberals retards, but if the shoe fits....
Hey BBM, did you get that little factoid from the "fake" news on Facebook?
Trump won in part from deception and misinformation
How big a part it played can be debated. But it played a role, and is par for the course for the right wing. Including their crescendo of deception in the last 1-2 weeks to help push them over the top.
Now we're learning that Facebook was another piece of the puzzle. Here's a very interesting article:
Facebook fake-news writer: 'I think Donald Trump is in the White House because of me'.

Romney would be a brilliant choice as Secretary of State
It would ease many of my concerns about Trump.
Electoral College imbalance
In this age when everyone is well connected and we can inform ourselves about the quality of the candidates, even those outside our city and state, the college needs reform. California has a population of 38,800,000 and 55 votes, Wyoming has 584,200 and 3 votes. Thus each vote from Wyoming is worth 362% of those from California. At the moment virtually no campaigning is done in many states because the result is never in doubt. If every vote counted, as in a direct election, more attention would be paid to everyone, not just in swing states.
A useful brief history of the electoral college is here: [URL]http://uselectionatlas.org/INFORMATION/INFORMATION/electcollege_history.php[/URL].
"Direct election was rejected not because the Framers of the Constitution doubted public intelligence but rather because they feared that without sufficient information about candidates from outside their State, people would naturally vote for a "favorite son" from their own State or region.".
Popular Vote lead now over 2 million for Clinton
Is there any limit to the popular vote loss of a President Elect before the supporters of the current arrangements for the electoral college would consider a change?
