Political Venom: November 2016

First he came for the Muslims, and I said "Guys, let's take a wait-and-see approach here."

Then he came for the Mexican Americans, and I said, "Let's not be sore losers just because the other guy won."

Then he came for the press, and I said, "What makes this country great is our peaceful transitions of power."

Then he came for the women, and I said, "Try to have some compassion for the frustrations of the other side."

Then he came for the black community, and I said, "I know it sucks, but wait four years."

Then he came for me, and I said, "How could this have happened? I did everything I could."

The Electoral College Was Created to Stop Demagogues Like Trump

If the Electoral College was designed specifically to prevent people like Orange Hitler from being elected to the presidency, is it too much to ask that they do their job?

Kellyanne Conway to Trump critics: Be careful what you say

This is just too funny. And it illustrates a wonderful way to make Orange Hitler's reign as miserable as possible for him:

Here’s How Campaigns Would Work If We Abolished the Electoral College

Eliminating the electoral college alone would cause problems. Additional fixes would be needed:

Electoral College Can Stop Unfit Trump — With Another Republican

Having the Electoral College replace Orange Hitler (that IS how I shall refer to him from now on) with Hillary is a highly unlikely occurrence, but replacing him with another Republican? Well, also quite a stretch, but less so:

One nice result would likely be outrage followed by the elimination of the Electoral College. About time.

Donald Trump’s Victory Is Some of the Best Foreign News China (and ISIS) Could Have Hoped For

I don't usually bother posting the obvious things going on politically (like announcing who won the election), but instead prefer to post unexpected things that may be interesting or useful. In this case, it's the irony that the Orange Hitler, who ran on a platform of getting tough with China and ISIS, has actually caused them both to rejoice:

and

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/11/10/extremists-celebrate-donald-trump-election-win/93580822/

Remember that most people did NOT vote for Orange Hitler. He just won because of the Electoral College system. That does not equal a mandate...but there's a hell of a lot of damage he can still do.

Is Donald Trump Losing To A Mastermind Or A Moron?

This inconsistency would be a problem for any other candidate, but Trump sycophants simply don't care and don't believe in rational news:
