Trump himself is to blame for this situation. What he said is good for a TV show but in politics, this is not acceptable. What normal person would sit down with that clown at the negotiating table ?
People who do not know they are about to lose, and lose big?

You're right and you're right about watching the Hitlery machine mow over everything in its path....

It's worth mulling over that that is a machine fueled and funded by foreign interests and George Soros.

As best as I can figure that machine bent the traditional goals of the Democratic party into this current twisted open borders, free immigration, thing.  These were never American values.   They were not the traditional democratic party. 

This is a fairly recent thing; during the Obama 8 years.

It's hard to have a conversation with someone you completely agree with. I should just sit back and read your posts. LOL

I'm a US veteran and it sickens me to watch the country I defended be turned to shit by corporate and private greed. There must be a special machine that removes your soul when you enter politics. There have always been problems in this country that we could work on and solve through voting. Well America has just been schooled. We know that doesn't work anymore. When voting no longer works revolution is all you're left to work with.

Just a small doubt... Are the democrats going to find uncounted votes in car trunks and trash bins, just like they "miraculously" found them during the recount during the Franken vs Coleman race (United States Senate election in Minnesota, 2008)?

I don't think there's a winner or loser in US elections. I think the whole thing is make believe to give the citizens a warm fuzzy feeling. The POTUS is chosen by big business to advance their agenda. The congressional elections are bought and paid for by PAC money. Any laws that do pass that benefit the people are just for pacification purposes or (like Obamacare) actually make big businesses (like insurance companies and big pharma companies) more wealthy and powerful.

Who cares what the presidents name is, we don't get to choose him anyway.

That's exactly why this election is so different.  We all saw ourselves the attempt to push first a Jeb Bush/Hillary thing, then a Rubio/Hillary thing.  We all read the emails in which the Democratic party made sure Sanders was a loser.  We all saw every thing pulled out to stop Trump.

a recount Grin Grin Grin

i m not sure they will find fraud in MI, WI, PA cause ther are not alot illegal immigrant..

During the last elections (in 2012, Obama vs Romney), there were reports of the Democrats busing in tens of thousands of illegals in many of the battle ground states. However, this time, there were no such reports. Perhaps, the Democrats were confident that they could win without voter fraud, as Hillary was ahead in most of the opinion polls. 
And maybe the truth was the intervention of hackers from Russia. Who knows? I won't be surprised at anything. For me, this election did not win one. They simply divided the country and now soon reconciled.
I think if you just haven't found anything that I cannot find. Why are they all doing this? Hillary can't accept defeat? The FBI can't find enough dirt on him? And the country will not shake.

Trump said want to reject and exit from paris convention about clima change
Good, americans citizien vote this idiot and now take care about your miserable life

Im not clinton faggot, i hate both of them retards

Edit: everybody see the change of clima, see "chasing ice" the photos documentary about icebergs

Golly gee wilikers, you are telling me that ice melts?!?  Here's a little news flash:  If precipitation is landing in sub-zero areas, it's melting elsewhere.  Here's how you can know:  There is still liquid water on the planet.

As for the film, most kids in the U.S. these days have been forced to see it and are heavily indoctrinated into believing it means that humans are a blight and should be paying carbon taxes to our global leaders at least, or better yet, killing ourselves.

More interesting than the film to me is captain Cook's logs showing (or not showing) Glacier Bay in Alaska.  Before it's completely memory-holed:

Quote
The landscape that was to become Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve was ice-capped when European explorers first reached this corner of the world. When Capt. James Cook visited the area in 1778, the Grand Pacific Glacier ran past present-day Bartlett Cove and out past Point Carolus and Point Gustavus almost into Icy Strait.

Long story short, yes, ice packs and glaciers change.  They usually (but not always) recede in times of warming and often quite rapidly on geological time scales.  Everyone knows we are in a warming period on such scales.  It's pretty clear that in terms of human adding CO2 to the atmosphere via use of fossil fuels, it probably has very little and quite possibly zero to do with global warming.  Other human activities are possibly a factor, but if so they probably started 10,000-30,000 years ago or so when we started burning shit down an cultivating plants we like (or chasing herds of game off a cliff) and we have not killed the world yet.  In fact, the general warming trend since the last ice-age has been a great thing for many species.  Maybe we played a substantive role and maybe we dint.

The funny thing about the 'chasing ice' propaganda piece to me was how the film-maker was painted as some Jesus-style martyr who sacrificed so much and worked through his pain for the betterment of humankind.  I'll wager the guy is laughing all the way to the bank.

1969, Lubos Moti, Czech physicist: “It is now pretty clearly agreed that CO2 content [in the atmosphere] will rise 25% by 2000. This could increase the average temperature near the earth’s surface by 7 degrees Fahrenheit. This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye New York. Goodbye Washington, for that matter.” (Prediction was false)

January 1970 Life Magazine “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support …the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half…” (These predictions were false)

“Earth Day” 1970 Kenneth Watt, ecologist: “At the present rate of nitrogen build-up, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable....The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” (These predictions were false)

July 9, 1971, Washington Post: “In the next 50 years fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun’s rays that the Earth’s average temperature could fall by six degrees. Sustained emissions over five to ten years, could be sufficient to trigger an ice age.”

April 28, 1975 Newsweek “There are ominous signs that Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically….The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it….The central fact is that…the earth’s climate seems to be cooling down…If the climate change is as profound as some of the pessimists fear, the resulting famines could be catastrophic.”  (Predictions were false)

1976 Lowell Ponte in “The Cooling,”: “This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.”  (It didn't come about)

“The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change….There will be more police cars….[since] you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.” - Dr. James Hansen, 1988, in an interview with author Rob Reiss.  Reiss asked how the greenhouse effect was likely to affect the neighborhood below Hansen’s office in NYC in the next 20 years. (These predictions were false)

June 30, 1989, Associated Press: U.N. OFFICIAL PREDICTS DISASTER, SAYS GREENHOUSE EFFECT COULD WIPE SOME NATIONS OFF MAP–entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ‘eco-refugees,’ threatening political chaos,” said Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program. He added that governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect.

Sept 19, 1989, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “New York will probably be like Florida 15 years from now.”

Michael Oppenheimer, 1990, The Environmental Defense Fund: “By 1995, the greenhouse effect would be desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought, causing crop failures and food riots…”(By 1996) The Platte River of Nebraska would be dry, while a continent-wide black blizzard of prairie topsoil will stop traffic on interstates, strip paint from houses and shut down computers…The Mexican police will round up illegal American migrants surging into Mexico seeking work as field hands.” (Predictions false, and hilariously political)

1990 Actress Meryl Streep “By the year 2000 – that’s less than ten years away–earth’s climate will be warmer than it’s been in over 100,000 years. If we don’t do something, there’ll be enormous calamities in a very short time.” (Prediction was false)

April 22, 1990 ABC, The Miracle Planet: “I think we’re in trouble. When you realize how little time we have left–we are now given not 10 years to save the rainforests, but in many cases five years. Madagascar will largely be gone in five years unless something happens. And nothing is happening.” (Madagascar is still there)

Edward Goldsmith, 1991, (5000 Days to Save the Planet): “By 2000, British and American oil will have diminished to a trickle….Ozone depletion and global warming threaten food shortages, but the wealthy North will enjoy a temporary reprieve by buying up the produce of the South. Unrest among the hungry and the ensuing political instability, will be contained by the North’s greater military might. A bleak future indeed, but an inevitable one unless we change the way we live…At present rates of exploitation there may be no rainforest left in 10 years. If measures are not taken immediately, the greenhouse effect may be unstoppable in 12 to 15 years.”

 July 26, 1999 The Birmingham Post: “Scientists are warning that some of the Himalayan glaciers could vanish within ten years because of global warming. A build-up of greenhouse gases is blamed for the meltdown, which could lead to drought and flooding in the region affecting millions of people.” (The Scientists were wrong)

Sept 11, 1999, The Guardian: “A report last week claimed that within a decade, the disease (malaria) will be common again on the Spanish coast. The effects of global warming are coming home to roost in the developed world.” (The Marxist wish for the Bourgeousie to suffer and die for their freedom and privilege did not come to pass)

“Within a few years winter snowfall will become a very rare and exciting event. … Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.” - David Viner, Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, 20 March 2000 (Prediction was false)

“Winters with strong frost and lots of snow like we had 20 years ago will cease to exist at our latitudes.” - Mojib Latif, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, 1 April 2000 (Prediction was false)

“Good bye winter. Never again snow?” - Spiegel, 1 April 2000

 March 29, 2001, CNN: “In ten year’s time, most of the low-lying atolls surrounding Tuvalu’s nine islands in the South Pacific Ocean will be submerged under water as global warming rises sea levels.” (Prediction was false)

In 2002, The Guardian newspaper said millions of people would starve by 2012

“With the pace of global warming increasing, some climate change experts predict that the Scottish ski industry will cease to exist within 20 years.” - Guardian, 14 February 2004

“The data collected by experts from the university [of Bangor] suggests that a white Christmas on Snowdon – the tallest mountain in England and Wales – may one day become no more than a memory.” - BBC News, 20 Dec 2004 (BBC 2013: “Snowdon Mountain Railway will be shut over the Easter weekend after it was hit by 30ft (9.1m) snow drifts.”)

2005, Andrew Simms, policy director of the New Economics Foundation: “Scholars are predicting that 50 million people worldwide will be displaced by 2010 because of rising sea levels, desertification, dried up aquifers, weather-induced flooding and other serious environmental changes.” (Scholars were wrong)

“In summer under certain conditions the scientists reckon with a complete melting of the Arctic sea ice. For Europe we expect an increase in drier and warmer summers. Winters on the other hand will be warmer and wetter.” - Erich Roeckner, Max Planck Institute, Hamburg, 29 Sept 2005 (Prediction was false)

“Due to global warming, the coming winters in the local regions will become milder.” - Stefan Rahmstorf, Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research, University of Potsdam, February 8, 2006 (Prediction was false)

May 31, 2006 Al Gore, CBS Early Show: “…the debate among the scientists is over. There is no more debate. We face a planetary emergency. There is no more scientific debate among serious people who’ve looked at the science… (They should've kept debating, because they were wrong)

“For the Baltic ringed seal, climate change could mean its demise” warned a team of scientists at the Baltic Sea Experiment (Baltex) conference in Goteborg. “This is because the warming leads to the ice on the Baltic Sea to melt earlier and earlier every year.” - Spiegel, 3 June 2006 (The Local 2013: “Late-season freeze sets Baltic ice record … I’ve never seen this much ice this late in the season.”)

In 2007, the IPCC said we only had 4 years to save the world

“The more than ‘unusually ‘warm January weather is yet ‘another extreme event’, ‘a harbinger of the winters that are ahead of us’. … The global temperature will ‘increase every year by 0.2°C’” - Michael Müller, Socialist, State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Environment, Die Zeit, 15 Jan 2007 (Prediction was false)

“The new Germany will be characterized by dry-hot summers and warm-wet winters.” - Wilhelm Gerstengarbe and Peter Werner, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), March 2, 2007 (Prediction was false)

“Although the magnitude of the trends shows large variation among different models, Miller et al. (2006) find that none of the 14 models exhibits a trend towards a lower NAM index and higher arctic SLP.” - IPCC 2007 4AR, quoted by Georg Hoffmann (All 14 models were wrong)

“Winter has gone forever and we should officially bring spring forward instead. … There is no winter any more despite a cold snap before Christmas. It is nothing like years ago when I was younger. There is a real problem with spring because so much is flowering so early year to year.” - Express, Dr Nigel Taylor, Curator of Kew Gardens, 8 Feb 2008

June 2008, Ted Alvarez, Backpacker Magazine Blogs: “you could potentially sail, kayak, or even swim to the North Pole by the end of the summer. Climate scientists say that the Arctic ice…is currently on track to melt sometime in 2008.”  (Climate scientists were wrong)

“More heat waves, no snow in the winter… Climate models… over 20 times more precise than the UN IPCC global models. In no other country do we have more precise calculations of climate consequences. They should form the basis for political planning… Temperatures in the wintertime will rise the most… there will be less cold air coming to Central Europe from the east…In the Alps winters will be 2°C warmer already between 2021 and 2050.” - Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, September 2, 2008 (Prediction was false)

In 2009, Prince Charles said we had 96 months until ecosystem collapse

Also in 2009, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom said we only had 50 days to save the world

Also in 2009, Canada's Green Party declared Earth Hour, saying that we only had hours and not years to save the Earth

“Clear climate trends are seen from the computer simulations. Foremost the winter months will be warmer all over Germany. Depending of CO2 emissions, temperatures will rise by up to 4°C, in the Alps by up to 5°C.” - Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, 7 Dec 2009 (Prediction was false)

“Milder winters, drier summers: Climate study shows a need to adapt in Saxony Anhalt.” - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Press Release, January 10, 2010. (Prediction was false)

“Harsh winters likely will be more seldom and precipitation in the wintertime will be heavier everywhere. However, due to the milder temperatures, it’ll fall more often as rain than as snow.” - Online-Atlas of the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, 2010 (Prediction was false)

In 2014, France's Foreign Minister met with John Kerry and said we only had 500 days to save the world.

In 2015 a meeting at the Vatican said that 2015 was our last chance to stop global warming.

What started a recount in Wisconsin. Let's see where it leads. I wonder whether the recalculations in all 3 States? I think that a recount in Wisconsin will show fraud Trump.

If there is a difference in the vote-count, then that shows the incompetence of the American electoral machinery. But IMO, the maximum difference in the new count and the old count is unlikely to exceed 100 votes. Compare that to the margin of around 27,000 which Trump got. The only beneficiaries of this new count are going to be the municipal workers of Wisconsin.

....one of the places I trust Trump the least would be his willingness to protect freedom of speech.  This not really because of anything he said but more because of things he didn't say.  (His adversary said in no uncertain terms...

I sure do hope that Trump (if he gets in which I'm currently guessing is only around a 50% probability) will exceed my expectations here....

One thing worth noting is that Trump has OFTEN warned "Let's not give our position away."  Publicly this was heard numerous times regarding military strategy, eg the stupidity of advertizing when we will retreat from Iraq.

One should assume that he can and will continue this, and that there will be a great deal of solutions implemented without much or any fan fare or publicity.

Trump Just Put Net Neutrality on Death Row

Jeff Eisenach and Mark Jamison, appointed to Trump FCC transition team, 'have deep financial ties to the telecom industry

Open internet advocates this week expressed concern that President-elect Donald Trump's two appointments to his Federal Communications Commission (FCC) transition team spell doom for net neutrality.

That policy, approved in a 2015 FCC ruling, ensures a level playing field on the internet by preventing internet service providers (ISP) from creating "fast lanes" that give special treatment for content creators or web companies that pay extra fees. The ruling was hailed as "the biggest win for the public interest in the FCC's history."

The Trump transition site announced the appointments of former Verizon consultant Jeff Eisenach and former Sprint lobbyist Mark Jamison Monday. Like Trump, the two are critics of net neutrality.

"If President-elect Trump were the least bit sincere about his claims to 'drain the swamp' of lobbyists and special-interest operatives, he couldn't have done much worse than selecting these two," writes Timothy Karr, senior director of strategy at Free Press. He continues....

For a while now and increasingly lately I'm considering the whole 'net neutrality' thing to be a glass half full type of deal.  Here's my reasoning:

I don't think that 'neutrality' at the carrier level is really all that effective in the giving a level playing field in furtherance of freedom of speech, thought, association, etc.  Content generation is much more of an issue here and carrier 'neutrality' doesn't play that much of a role .  This gets increasingly more the case as both content creation and bandwidth costs fall.

The biggest factor is demand for content.  The established content providers would love to have and maintain a monopoly, but are pretty much going to have to arrange this legislatively (e.g., banning 'fake news'.)  Especially after the 2016 election cycle there is a lot less demand for establishment news and a lot more demand for alternatives.  I personally would be happy to pay a good amount of extra money for alternative media since that is where the value is.

Basically if we can retain the legal framework for freedom of speech and association here in the U.S., and maintain some notion of free markets in the carrier space, we'll be fine.  The establishment will be looking to attack both of these pillars, and for ways to force-feed their own valueless wares down the throats of anyone who will swallow them (and, sadly, many many people will do that.)

Long and short, I think that at this point 'net neutrality' is more catch-phrase which fosters false hope and will be used as an excuse to be lazy.

---

As always, one of the places I trust Trump the least would be his willingness to protect freedom of speech.  This not really because of anything he said but more because of things he didn't say.  (His adversary said in no uncertain terms that right-wing news outlets like Brightbart have no right to exist and promised to go after them ASAP so we know exactly where she and her side stands as if we could not have easily anticipated it.)

I sure do hope that Trump (if he gets in which I'm currently guessing is only around a 50% probability) will exceed my expectations here, or at least stock the judicial system with people who have the same basic constitutionally based values that I have, but I'm not betting on it.
