Would someone please help me understand why the losers keep trying to tell the winners how to run things? I didn't think life ran that way. If a man applies for the job and he is one of three applicants and does NOT get the job, he does not have the authority to ask for anything to be done from that position. If two military units go to battle, the losers do not tell the winners how they want to be treated.
If two football teams play a game and one side wins, the losers do not have the authority to ask the winning team to apologize or step down. If two horses race and one wins and the other loses, the 2nd place horse does not get to demand to stand in the winner's circle. Losing means you lose and are at the mercy, so to speak, of the winner, not the other way around.
We all need to get behind Trump and MAKE IT KNOWN that there are no apologies (ever) for winning and doing things the way Trump is going to decide to do them because WE VOTED FOR HIM and we don't want CAIR, John Lewis, Nancy Pelosi, England, Iran, Rosie O'Donnell, John McCain and hundreds of other butt-hurt folks trying to tell him or us what to do.
We didn't tell Obama what to do. We made it clear we were unhappy with what he did, but no one told him he had to do what WE wanted or we would riot or resort to violence. This is all crazy. You dissenting folk better get one thing through your heads BEFORE it is too late:
Do NOT start something you can NOT finish.
Because, for nearly a full generation now, the left has been in charge, win or lose at the voting booths.
Since Clinton was elected, the “right” has lived on its knees and never offering anything more than worthless pretense at opposing the left.
Neither the GOP nor the DNC have any clue how to act now.
It’s a hustle
They know they lost, but they’re running a game on the winner - see if they can mau mau him into backing off
Standard gangsta crap
Don don’t fall for it
He plans to win
It’s the death rattle of the global political establishment. The people are taking back their governments.
Because, like a spoiled child, they have learned if they keep on screaming someone gives in.
Well as everyone knows, they are pushing the “she won the popular vote” crap. Now, if Democrats are dumb enough to think that there was no voter fraud on the Democrats part, when they have a long history of voter fraud, then they’re just being unrealistic. But then, that’s what they do; they’re ideologues. They’re socialists. And they feel that they’re being very patriotic; they think they’re right. And nothing’s more politically dangerous than ideologues who are convinced that they’re right, and intend to use any means at their disposal to get what they think is justice.
And now the screaming children are in the tree house (or basement) planning to create so much civil unrest on Inauguration day that he may have to call out national guard just to protect the (stampeding) public from themselves and then the screaming children will claim footage of law enforcement attempts to stop property damage and assault were actually just the “fascist’s first day in office” and a portend of his ultimate goal of putting all lefties behind hot-wired fences in some unused land in Wyoming. I know Wyomies did nothing to deserve that.
That footage will be passed down for generations of leftie indoctrination - the “narrative” will say that lefties flooded public areas just to watch the inauguration when suddenly they were attacked by trump’s shock troops....
It simply must be brought to a complete halt.
Nailed it.
Real adults never give in to screaming children.
Hopefully, they will stop and listen long enough to see that Mr. Trump is not the evil man they think he is. I blame Obama for this unrest. He could have ameliorated a good amount of it, by being conciliatory. He has the power to persuade his devotees, but unfortunately, he is a divider, not a healer. And SHAME on those members of Congress, who are being completely partisan. They also have power to calm the waters. They know one of the reasons Hillary lost, is because she underestimated the amount of fraud she needed to have to win, and she most certainly missed the mood of the country, entirely.
The democrats also control access to insider parties and celebrations. If the winning republicans want to be invited, and more important if they want their wives to be invited, then they have to "compromise" and show "bipartisan good sportsmanship". Sadly, most republicans obey, especially McCain, Romney, Graham, and the rest of the RINOs.
Haven’t you heard of the pigeon on the chessboard?
Real adults spank spoiled children.
They do it once, and if the kid learns, the threat is often enough so that actual spanking is rare.
I don’t know if I can finish your discussion but I will tell you what I do know.
The right keeps everyone to the highest common denominator.
That is how math works. Higher numbers, Higher Growth, Higher Life.
The left keeps everyone at the lowest common denominator.
That’s it.
Every dumbass rule you have ever been imposed to was created by a LCD.
Here is an example.
I must use some new bullshit knife that is spring loaded because asshats in the world cut themselves without it.
I must wear cut resistant gloves because asshats with spring loaded blades still cut themselves.
I must identify on paper every day how to exit a building before I start work so I don’t get lost.
I must identify everyday where a fire extinguisher is even though I an advised to leave.
I must identify everyday whether or not I can lift something safely.
I must identify everyday whether or not it is to hot or cold to work.
The list goes on and on.
Stupid people caused this and we all pay the price.
In all fairness, If it’s hot I don’t work. If it’s cold I don’t work.
My call.
Presidential elections are not like horse races or ball games the most apt analogy I can think of is an unending military campaign (perhaps why they are referred to as election “Campaigns”)
Trump has won a great victory but it is only a battle in an ongoing campaign. Preparations for the next battle have begun.
The Democrats are sending out scouting parties and are probing the Republican defensive positions seeking out weak spots.
The next major battle will be the midterm election in 2018 but skirmishes will be happening on a nearly daily basis until then.
The Democrats have lost a battle but are not surrendering the field. They are continuing the fight and will not give any amount of further ground without a bitter fight.
The Democrats are not used to losing. The Republicans are on the other hand still unaccustomed to winning and thus not confident in their positions. The Republican’s allies also are not comfortable with many of Trumps positions (immigration) and are pushing for Trump to maneuver away from that position.
The Democrats know these weaknesses in Trump’s coalition and will probe these weaknesses to drive a wedge in to the Republican lines.
The battle analogy is much better and the stakes are just as high.
