I didn’t read the whole thing, but what I read seems mostly nonsensical. What most liberals always forget is that we have a representative form of government. Their problem is they want the president to be all powerful and rule on behalf of the left. Then when someone is in that they don’t want, they go completely insane. And how they are behaving now is beyond insane at this point and reaching the danger zone.

The Former Twelfth Lady is *California's* girl.Trump was the choice of 49.I have complete and utter disdain...no,*contempt*...for the typical resident of California.And that includes the typical resident who is in this country legally.

Take away a handful of counties on the East and West Coast and you have Trump with a *massive* victory.

Although I've lived my entire life (except for time in the Armed Forces) within 20 miles of the Atlantic I feel a much greater kinship with the typical resident of suburban Indianapolis than with the typical resident of suburban Boston/NYC/Philly/DC/Chicago/Seattle/SF/LA.

”... — a call for a shadow government that will watchdog everything he and Congress do."

The Founding States had established the federal Senate, the Senate originally uniquely controlled by the state legislatures, to watchdog Congress.

But this purpose was totally defeated when the states foolishly ratified the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, that amendment effectively repealing the whole Constitution imo.

What usually follows a “shadow government” is imprisonment and executions. Do they really want to go down that road? Conservatives gritted their teeth and swallowed their vomit watching Obama and the Leftists dismantle the economy and the American culture. Now it’s their turn to shut up and take it for the next eight years. Keep praying for Pres. Trump, his family, and those he has appointed because nothing succeeds like success.

Who the hell does Moyers think he's talking to?

Most Americans - Democrat AND Republican - have acccepted the results of the vote. Donald Trump will be their President. All the hand wringing and silly laments are coming from small cadres of liberal elites within the Washington bubble, the West Coast Hollywood bubble and MSM elites. That's it. Basically Bill Moyers, Michael Moore and the New York Times... Oh, and Bill Kristol - quisling that he is)... The American people moved on... the election's over. Out of touch elites lost... NPR is not the world...

Moyers has no problem with her private server, her selling of influence and access through the Clinton foundation, her foreign contribution conflicts of interest, her lying, her collusion with the press or her dissing of Bernie Sanders. What he has a problem with is Trump winning in accordance with the Constitution.

And he thinks we are supposed to take him seriously.

They don’t even have a bench big enough to form a shadow government.

creating the constituency of what will be, in effect, a shadow government — one that will serve to track and respond to every single bad action undertaken by the Trump administration

Yeah, with a little backing they could report everything by recording their commentary on video and then put together about a hour recap of the week on TV.

All the libs would drool over it every time it was broadcast.







Oh, wait, I just had a thought.





Mmm, never mind...

In the immediate days to come, we will hammer out the details on how best to choose and organize this watchdog government.

This idiot isn't referring to a shadow government, but to a co-Presidency. Trump has no obligation to "hammer out" anything with the Wicked Witch. Did the Liberal Messiah "hammer out" anything with McCain or Romney? Of course not, but now Trump is supposed to work with the Wicked Witch. Yeah, right. You lost Liberals, even if you can't accept it.

Obama’s going to set himself up as the shadow government, in a futile effort to maintain his “legacy.” Clinton will essentially do the same, looking forward to 2020. Hopefully they will spend more effort trashing the other than attempting to foil Trump.

Nothing would surprise me. The dem-wits are desperate to maintain their Social Justice/Climate Change agenda.

If she did this, I would say it’s sedition and treason, trying to undermine the duly elected government.
