Said one cooperative’s general manager to our loss control rep, “If an employee dies while on duty, we just look for another one.” Sounds like he’d prefer Margie. And yes, we walked away from that prospect.

Uh-oh, Planetarium; it looks like the public will be telling manufacturers about their faulty products by not buying those that prove to be unsafe.
Eliminating the bureaucracy involved and letting the public decide what they think is safe and effective is much better than letting the government bureaucrats try to do it and often fail.
The safety experts aren’t infallible. Accidents and ‘excrements’ the public suffers will result in eventual, proper rejection of dangerous and ineffective products.
So, what do you tell the families of the first X many who die as a result of using an autonomous product that didn’t go through proper checks and balances? “Sorry for your loss. They were good guinea pigs. Our hearts and prayers are with you.”????
I’m not asking for governments to tell us what is and isn’t safe. I’m just asking for appropriate oversight to make sure we don’t have a bunch of Drumpf U scammers out there trying to rip the public off with a faulty product.
Where on the internet, or in an alternate universe, is any mention of elimination of seatbelts, airbags?
Well, I’ll approve of banning ‘airbags’ like you two.

Looks as if the Trump Administration is going to have a field day, throwing out all those pesky rules with transportation, finance, employee safety – you name it.
These writers are still in the grieving process and that is fine. Some people express grief in different ways over the election of Donald Trump as our new President. If writing helps them get over it, I am all for it. Better have them write about it than have them spend government money weeping in front of a Psychologist.
Good one Agency. OSHA has been worthless for many years and has a huge budget. I would rather trust the Insurance Industry for safety anytime than bureaucrats. Yes, these left wingers will be whining for a long time. Celtica had to be revived after election night.
From what I have seen on cabinet appointments, smart people are going to be put to good use, not political hacks who had no idea how to govern.
Agency, as a follow up, I wonder where OSHA was on inspection of the old warehouse building in Oakland which had so many deficiencies one cannot count them all. Result, at least 33 people died in the fire and only two exits etc. Wow, your tax dollars at work.

Whiners like you have to protest a fairly won election by mentioning popular vote results in an ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM, and by protesting illegally in the streets an causing damage and disruption to people’s lives and ability to earn a living – – – to pay taxes to provide welfare for many people like you.
Yes smart people that know how to govern, like Ben Carson who said he wasn’t qualified to run a department, and this woman who oversaw this department during the Bush administration when by all accounts our infrastructure degraded significantly.
What your should have written is ‘idealogues who believe the same insane crack you believe in’.
I see one of you went and shot up a small business because of a bullshit conspiracy theory pushed by idiots and wider fine Trump pick, the racist Flynn. Are you going to post nonstop about right wing political violence now?
So, refresh my memory Cap, how many Protests were held when OBama got elected? How many traffic jams as a direct result of obama getting elected? How many states recounted their votes? How many people got beat up because the voted against Trump?
I dont even recall Romney and or McCain asking for a participation trophy.
I do recall the definition of Affordable before OBama Changed it.
The major difference in grieving is that The People were grieving along with Republicans and Conservatives. The evidence is the control of BOTH Chambers of Congress, and a hyuuuuge majority of Governors and state legislatures by Republicans over the last 2 years, building gradually over the full last 8 years.
And, of course, The People are no longer grieving.

You are the one saying millions of illegals voted. It is on you to prove that statement, not the other way around. Much like if I stated Republicans have long felt voter suppression helps them, I’d point you to Paul Weyrich when he said this:
DePolar, if the Progressive Democrat’s ideology is so great, why do we have so many states dominated by Republican Governors and legislatures? Looks to me that the majority of the states caught on to the Progressive lying agenda and put people in that had common sense and would look after their citizens.

So, by that logic, right wing nut jobs were grieving for the past 8 years. Talk about get over it.
Lefty Libbies like more regulations over less regulations, to control people they THINK aren’t smart, or aren’t as smart as them.
Fortunately, those same ‘not smart’ people were smart enough to be able to fill in bubbles with ‘Rs’ next to them, with a pencil or pen, pull a lever under the letter ‘R’, or punch a hole in a card with a name with an ‘R’ next to it.
Actually Yogi, your statement about the number of R votes is false. Clinton now leads the popular vote by over 2.5 million, despite 868 less polling places and all the other Republican efforts to suppress votes. I think what you meant to say is, enough electoral college votes went to R. And, that’s true. Which is why Drumpf is our President. Let’s see what he can do.
Obama doesn’t say so explicitly. It is a veiled suggestion that is clear if you listen to his exact words in their sequence.
FURTHERMORE, The Electoral College System results in SUPPRESSION of VOTES in states that are clearly biased toward one side; i.e. the voters in the minority in deep red or deep blue states will not bother to vote. This is a STATISTICALLY PROVEN EFFECT, based on the hyuuuuge majority enjoyed by Republicans in STATE Congressional bodies and Governorships.
You may have your MEANINGLESS ‘safety blanket’ (popular vote majority) if it provides you a ‘safe place / sanctuary from conservative rule’.
For those who prefer Freedom, Liberty, and Capitalism over Socialism, it’s the most wonderful time in 8 years…
“Obama doesn’t say so explicitly. It is a veiled suggestion that is clear if you listen to his exact words in their sequence.”
So you are admitting that he did not actually say what you alleged him to say. How about we take people at their word instead of trying to create false intent?
If there is no proof that millions of illegals voted, stop saying as such. Even in the event President Obama flat out told, without reservation, illegals to vote, you would still need proof that they actually did vote.
You may have your MEANINGLESS ‘safety blanket’ (popular vote majority) if it provides you a ‘safe place / sanctuary from conservative rule’.
Interesting how the right loves to bring up how we need to respect the opinion of the majority, until it goes against them. The point is that President Trump needs to respect the fact that the majority of voters voted against him and his agenda, and that he cannot govern solely for the minority that did vote for him.
If president Obama did not have a mandate, neither does President Trump.
Your side won. Time to prepare your defenses in the event President Trump’s policies fail. I predict, and I may be wrong, that we are going to have some very interesting conversations in 3 years.
We will see how EVERY citizen’s freedom and liberty is addressed by this administration.
I am clearly saying that Obama VEILED his suggestion to avoid accusations by law enforcement agents that he suggested ILLEGALS may vote without repercussions.
Don’t put words in my mouth, or twist my words.
You are afraid to admit what transpired in that exchange between a LEGAL citizen reporter and Obama in regard to ILLEGAL ‘citizens’ (translation: non-citizens that Dems want to give Amnesty) that she may know personally, or other ILLEGALS. It is your right to deny reality if you so choose. But don’t involve me in what you believe.

Addendum; how can anyone know ILLEGALS voted if they are undocumented?
There is no proof that ILLEGALS DIDN’T vote illegally, either.
Voter COUNTS in SOME counties are known to EXCEED registered voters, or nearly reach 100%, whereas a typical election involves 50% or 60% or 70% of registered voters participating in the vote.
The reason the ILLEGAL VOTE counts are unknown or unproven is that it is A MOOT POINT NOW SINCE TRUMPRESIDENT won!
Further, liberal sore losers CONTINUE to mis-direct attention away from THREE ABSOLUTE truths;
1. Hillary got more total UN-AUDITED votes than PresidenTrump,
2. The Electoral College System DISTORTS and SUPPRESSES vote totals since voters in deep red or deep blue states who are in the minority in their state will NOT vote because it means nothing.
3. The Electoral College System is the determinant of which candidate becomes the US President, not the popular vote. This is a sign of the genius of The Founding Fathers, who devised the EC to avoid tyranny and mob rule, and provide more power to individual states than exists through their (possibly significantly shifting population). The EC was inspired by a desire to AVOID the corruption that would result if citizens voted for FEDERAL benefits for themselves through a popular vote total of ALL SEPARATE BUT UNITED STATES.
The Founding Fathers were intelligent enough to realize citizens of the USA could move from one state to another, depending on their preference as to how EACH state/ commonwealth governed itself, and the implied impact on their quality of life.
I expect this edifying post to IMMEDIATELY receive multiple thumbs down votes from LIBERAL’s BOTS due to their fear of the truth.

DePolarBearables,
You said, “Don’t put words in my mouth, or twist my words.” I wonder how President Obama would respond to how you put words in his mouth and twisted his words.
Can you quote one person saying that Hillary Clinton should be the POTUS since she won the popular vote? You are totally missing the point.
You said, “The Electoral College System DISTORTS and SUPPRESSES vote totals since voters in deep red or deep blue states who are in the minority in their state will NOT vote because it means nothing.” If that were the case, why does anyone outside of battleground states vote at all? People make their decision on whether or not to vote based on several more reasons other than that.
You cannot ignore the fact that more voters went against Donald Trump than for him. Even if you assume 3 million illegals voted, you do not for whom they voted. In addition, there were over 7.6 million who voted for someone other than Trump or Clinton. That means more than 10 million voters selected someone other than Donald Trump. How is he to unite the country if he ignores the voices of that many people?
Congratulations President-elect Trump. But you have no mandate.

Hey DePolar, our new President elect doesn’t care much for the cost of the two new AF1’s that Boeing was counting on. Something about budget over runs making the cost at $4 Billion for two airplanes. He said to cancel the order. Also, it seems that the Defense Dept hid some reports that revealed they had something like $125 Billion in waste and corruption under who else, Obama. Wow, how many swamps need to be drained? Something tells me that we wouldn’t have the budget deficit at all if a businessman was in charge. Not to worry, the new Sheriff is in town starting on 1-20-17.
Shame on President Obama for not discovering and putting an end to military waste under his watch. If we hear about government waste in 2-3 years, will it still be President Obama’s fault or will you hold President Trump accountable?
You said, “Something tells me that we wouldn’t have the budget deficit at all if a businessman was in charge.” At what point should we expect to see a budget surplus? Just want to know when we may fairly judge his results.

The time to do it is now, not after another 4-8 years. The Federal Government is like an albatross around the neck of the citizens. We hired Trump to do this and he will although he will have opposition. All Federal Departments and agencies should be cut 25% in the coming years. That, along with a recovery in the economy will be making America Great Again. Agree or disagree, I couldn’t care less.

This is refreshing to say the least. Don’t think many of these people will be invited aboard AF 1 on trips either. Let them arrange their own transportation from now on.

I don’t have a problem with Trump using Twitter. I have a problem with Trump lying when he posts. And I know ALL politicians lie, but to name 3 that come to mind –
Carrier just said he lied about saving over 1,100 jobs. Ford said he lied when he claimed he saved a plant from moving to Mexico. The Mexican president said he lied when Trump said they didn’t talk about the wall even once.
I don’t have a problem with him using Twitter to get his message out. I just wish we could trust what he says when he posts

Realist, how about we have Franklin Graham as advisor to Trump? He is far more qualified than the fake Reverand Al Sharpton.
And by the same token, the Trumpets are in denial that Trump — and his children — will use the presidency to enrich themselves first. Why settle for a mere impeachment for Donald when you can get the whole family in prison for corruption.
It’s clear you and a few other liberals here are suffering…. seriously suffering from Electile Dysfunction.
There’s a treatment for that…. de-programming you to release you from the brainwashing you were subject to in school or on the Fake News sector of the internet and other mainstream media outlets.
Deplorables, speaking of deprogramming, please reserve a spot for yourself. You should also seriously think of signing up for a class on critical thinking and spotting fake news.
Where do you go Celtica for your critical thinking? Let us guess – Media Matters, Moveon.org, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC?

DePolar, what do you think about the new deal Trump just made with Softbank & Foxconn to invest $50 Billion and create 50,000 jobs in the US? I believe he is serious about recovering this stagnant economy and creating real, good paying jobs instead of just growing government.
Meanwhile, the lamest of ducks is scratching his head and saying, but, but, but, why didn’t they come to me with this deal? Get ready, the bots will be all over this post and down vote me, but I couldn’t care less. We deal with reality and they are stuck in their Utopian world of Liberalism.

Daddy told him that he was developing Clean Coal technology, drilling everywhere he could to make America energy independent. Not exactly what Gore was looking for. By the way, we are having some record cold and snow in the north. Seems to happen every time Gore shows up.

Once again Trump takes credit for things he didn’t do (See One Lefty Here’s post for 3 other times he’s done this).
The $100 billion SoftBank Vision Fund deal was announced nearly a month before the election took place!
If you recall, that’s when the liberal media incorrectly had Clinton winning by a landslide. So how exactly does Trump get to take credit for that deal?
You won’t open the link, so I’ll save you some time:
“Gore was in New York for the Climate Reality Project’s 24-hour live broadcast, “24 Hours of Reality,” and was invited to Trump Tower to discuss the topic by Trump’s oldest daughter, Ivanka, who is not registered with a political party and has pushed her father to adopt some positions usually promoted by Democrats.”

DePolar, following is another quote from Churchill who was very wise when he commented on Progressives.
Can a people tax themselves into prosperity? Can a man stand in a bucket and lift himself up by the handle? They seemed to think that way the past 8 years. I know this is over the heads of some on this blog.
Also, Agent, you are going to talk about fake hair when you support Drumpf? Hilarious! Again, Drumpf has done an excellent job of highlighting the right wing hypocrisy. Ivanka is advancing climate change science. And, once again, please tell the class the difference between weather and climate. Pro-tip, we just experienced the warmest autumn on record in the US this year. You see, climate is studied over long periods of time. Not just a couple days when Al Gore is in town. But, like Yogi, thanks for trying out!
Hmm, we haven’t set any cold temperature records here, but okay. I just played 36 holes on 11/28. Could have played this past Monday, too (51 degrees). It would have been a little unusual playing golf in Iowa on 12/5. But, I wanted to finish a quote for one of my key accounts. It looks like we have some more 40 degree weather in the 14 day, so I might get out there before Christmas, yet.
I don’t have an agenda, Agent. Unless you think being a Christian is an “agenda”. Unless you think loving our God-given planet is an agenda. Oh, and I mean a real Christian. Not one of those Supply Side Jesus types.
What does the following list of women have in common?

“Whether it’s integrating drones into the national airspace, deploying self-driving cars or “some other new technology, she’s not going to be especially inclined to second-guess the industry when they say that this will be safe,” McGarity said.”
Uh-oh, Agent. Looks like you’re just going to have to trust the autonomous vehicle manufacturers and the drone manufacturers when they tell you their product is perfectly safe. And, do you know why OSHA sucks? Because they try to keep employees alive and uninjured. Who needs ’em anyway?
Said one cooperative’s general manager to our loss control rep, “If an employee dies while on duty, we just look for another one.” Sounds like he’d prefer Margie. And yes, we walked away from that prospect.

Uh-oh, Planetarium; it looks like the public will be telling manufacturers about their faulty products by not buying those that prove to be unsafe.
Eliminating the bureaucracy involved and letting the public decide what they think is safe and effective is much better than letting the government bureaucrats try to do it and often fail.
The safety experts aren’t infallible. Accidents and ‘excrements’ the public suffers will result in eventual, proper rejection of dangerous and ineffective products.
So, what do you tell the families of the first X many who die as a result of using an autonomous product that didn’t go through proper checks and balances? “Sorry for your loss. They were good guinea pigs. Our hearts and prayers are with you.”????
I’m not asking for governments to tell us what is and isn’t safe. I’m just asking for appropriate oversight to make sure we don’t have a bunch of Drumpf U scammers out there trying to rip the public off with a faulty product.
Yogi wrote, “Prove that the restrictive regulations prevent injury or death.”
My answer is, seatbelts. They are restrictive regulations that have prevented injury or death. Can’t comprehend that, Yogi?

Alternately, prove the EASING, NOT ELIMINATION, of regulations will yield increased injury and death.

Nope. Not ALL rules.

DePolar the bots are the sorest of losers, aren’t they? Their nonsense posted is now legendary.
These writers are still in the grieving process and that is fine. Some people express grief in different ways over the election of Donald Trump as our new President. If writing helps them get over it, I am all for it. Better have them write about it than have them spend government money weeping in front of a Psychologist.
Good one Agency. OSHA has been worthless for many years and has a huge budget. I would rather trust the Insurance Industry for safety anytime than bureaucrats. Yes, these left wingers will be whining for a long time. Celtica had to be revived after election night.
From what I have seen on cabinet appointments, smart people are going to be put to good use, not political hacks who had no idea how to govern.
Agency, as a follow up, I wonder where OSHA was on inspection of the old warehouse building in Oakland which had so many deficiencies one cannot count them all. Result, at least 33 people died in the fire and only two exits etc. Wow, your tax dollars at work.
Losers like you have to downvote because your idiotic views can’t stand critique.
Wow, Actu…what’s with all the insults that you deny ever spewing out of your pie hole?
Whiners like you have to protest a fairly won election by mentioning popular vote results in an ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM, and by protesting illegally in the streets an causing damage and disruption to people’s lives and ability to earn a living – – – to pay taxes to provide welfare for many people like you.
OSHA’s function is worker safety, not property inspections. duh
Yes smart people that know how to govern, like Ben Carson who said he wasn’t qualified to run a department, and this woman who oversaw this department during the Bush administration when by all accounts our infrastructure degraded significantly.
What your should have written is ‘idealogues who believe the same insane crack you believe in’.
I see one of you went and shot up a small business because of a bullshit conspiracy theory pushed by idiots and wider fine Trump pick, the racist Flynn. Are you going to post nonstop about right wing political violence now?
So, by that logic, right wing nut jobs were grieving for the past 8 years. Talk about get over it.
So, refresh my memory Cap, how many Protests were held when OBama got elected? How many traffic jams as a direct result of obama getting elected? How many states recounted their votes? How many people got beat up because the voted against Trump?
I dont even recall Romney and or McCain asking for a participation trophy.
I do recall the definition of Affordable before OBama Changed it.
censors
So, by that logic, right wing nut jobs were grieving for the past 8 years. Talk about get over it.
The major difference in grieving is that The People were grieving along with Republicans and Conservatives. The evidence is the control of BOTH Chambers of Congress, and a hyuuuuge majority of Governors and state legislatures by Republicans over the last 2 years, building gradually over the full last 8 years.
And, of course, The People are no longer grieving.
Our long National Nightmare will be over in a little more than 6 weeks.
Actually, more of The People voted against Drumpf than for him. The People will be holding him accountable. He’s a one-termer at best. Especially if he pays more attention to his Twitter account than to The People.
No one is listening to your liberal sore-ass loser complaints about the popular vote in a Republic using an Electoral College system. But I expect you to continue to experience election dysfunction symptoms for at least a few more months.
Perhaps you could do a vote recount of liberal stronghold states to find ILLEGAL ALIEN votes in Calibfornia, New York, Illinois, and a few other such Socialist strongholds? I dare you to do so and learn the truth abut the LEGAL totals of the popular vote.
You are the one saying millions of illegals voted. It is on you to prove that statement, not the other way around. Much like if I stated Republicans have long felt voter suppression helps them, I’d point you to Paul Weyrich when he said this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GBAsFwPglw
DePolar, if the Progressive Democrat’s ideology is so great, why do we have so many states dominated by Republican Governors and legislatures? Looks to me that the majority of the states caught on to the Progressive lying agenda and put people in that had common sense and would look after their citizens.

Lefty Libbies like more regulations over less regulations, to control people they THINK aren’t smart, or aren’t as smart as them.
Fortunately, those same ‘not smart’ people were smart enough to be able to fill in bubbles with ‘Rs’ next to them, with a pencil or pen, pull a lever under the letter ‘R’, or punch a hole in a card with a name with an ‘R’ next to it.
Oopsy!
Actually Yogi, your statement about the number of R votes is false. Clinton now leads the popular vote by over 2.5 million, despite 868 less polling places and all the other Republican efforts to suppress votes. I think what you meant to say is, enough electoral college votes went to R. And, that’s true. Which is why Drumpf is our President. Let’s see what he can do.
How many votes were suppressed by Republicans? Count? Link to a credible news org?
How many Illegal Aliens voted? Link to Obama’s encouragement for such: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAgD9X0iVfI
Obama doesn’t say so explicitly. It is a veiled suggestion that is clear if you listen to his exact words in their sequence.
FURTHERMORE, The Electoral College System results in SUPPRESSION of VOTES in states that are clearly biased toward one side; i.e. the voters in the minority in deep red or deep blue states will not bother to vote. This is a STATISTICALLY PROVEN EFFECT, based on the hyuuuuge majority enjoyed by Republicans in STATE Congressional bodies and Governorships.
You may have your MEANINGLESS ‘safety blanket’ (popular vote majority) if it provides you a ‘safe place / sanctuary from conservative rule’.
For those who prefer Freedom, Liberty, and Capitalism over Socialism, it’s the most wonderful time in 8 years…

DePolarBearables,
“Obama doesn’t say so explicitly. It is a veiled suggestion that is clear if you listen to his exact words in their sequence.”
So you are admitting that he did not actually say what you alleged him to say. How about we take people at their word instead of trying to create false intent?
If there is no proof that millions of illegals voted, stop saying as such. Even in the event President Obama flat out told, without reservation, illegals to vote, you would still need proof that they actually did vote.
You may have your MEANINGLESS ‘safety blanket’ (popular vote majority) if it provides you a ‘safe place / sanctuary from conservative rule’.
Interesting how the right loves to bring up how we need to respect the opinion of the majority, until it goes against them. The point is that President Trump needs to respect the fact that the majority of voters voted against him and his agenda, and that he cannot govern solely for the minority that did vote for him.
If president Obama did not have a mandate, neither does President Trump.
Your side won. Time to prepare your defenses in the event President Trump’s policies fail. I predict, and I may be wrong, that we are going to have some very interesting conversations in 3 years.
We will see how EVERY citizen’s freedom and liberty is addressed by this administration.
I am clearly saying that Obama VEILED his suggestion to avoid accusations by law enforcement agents that he suggested ILLEGALS may vote without repercussions.
Don’t put words in my mouth, or twist my words.
You are afraid to admit what transpired in that exchange between a LEGAL citizen reporter and Obama in regard to ILLEGAL ‘citizens’ (translation: non-citizens that Dems want to give Amnesty) that she may know personally, or other ILLEGALS. It is your right to deny reality if you so choose. But don’t involve me in what you believe.
Addendum; how can anyone know ILLEGALS voted if they are undocumented?
There is no proof that ILLEGALS DIDN’T vote illegally, either.
Voter COUNTS in SOME counties are known to EXCEED registered voters, or nearly reach 100%, whereas a typical election involves 50% or 60% or 70% of registered voters participating in the vote.
The reason the ILLEGAL VOTE counts are unknown or unproven is that it is A MOOT POINT NOW SINCE TRUMPRESIDENT won!
Further, liberal sore losers CONTINUE to mis-direct attention away from THREE ABSOLUTE truths;
1. Hillary got more total UN-AUDITED votes than PresidenTrump,
2. The Electoral College System DISTORTS and SUPPRESSES vote totals since voters in deep red or deep blue states who are in the minority in their state will NOT vote because it means nothing.
3. The Electoral College System is the determinant of which candidate becomes the US President, not the popular vote. This is a sign of the genius of The Founding Fathers, who devised the EC to avoid tyranny and mob rule, and provide more power to individual states than exists through their (possibly significantly shifting population). The EC was inspired by a desire to AVOID the corruption that would result if citizens voted for FEDERAL benefits for themselves through a popular vote total of ALL SEPARATE BUT UNITED STATES.
The Founding Fathers were intelligent enough to realize citizens of the USA could move from one state to another, depending on their preference as to how EACH state/ commonwealth governed itself, and the implied impact on their quality of life.
I expect this edifying post to IMMEDIATELY receive multiple thumbs down votes from LIBERAL’s BOTS due to their fear of the truth.
DePolarBearables,
You said, “Don’t put words in my mouth, or twist my words.” I wonder how President Obama would respond to how you put words in his mouth and twisted his words.
Can you quote one person saying that Hillary Clinton should be the POTUS since she won the popular vote? You are totally missing the point.
You said, “The Electoral College System DISTORTS and SUPPRESSES vote totals since voters in deep red or deep blue states who are in the minority in their state will NOT vote because it means nothing.” If that were the case, why does anyone outside of battleground states vote at all? People make their decision on whether or not to vote based on several more reasons other than that.
You cannot ignore the fact that more voters went against Donald Trump than for him. Even if you assume 3 million illegals voted, you do not for whom they voted. In addition, there were over 7.6 million who voted for someone other than Trump or Clinton. That means more than 10 million voters selected someone other than Donald Trump. How is he to unite the country if he ignores the voices of that many people?
Congratulations President-elect Trump. But you have no mandate.
@Ron;
Saying PresidenTrump has no mandate because he didn’t win the popular vote doesn’t make it so.
In fact, Trump will frustrate you by ignoring your suggestion at every opportunity he has to MAGA.
I didn’t put words in Obama’s mouth. I merely interpreted his veiled message. He suggested no one would prosecute anyone who voted…. listen to the vid for the EXACT words.
Good one DePolar. The arrogant one and other lefties thought they had this election in the bag by permitting a legion of non-citizens to vote to further their agenda. Oops! What happened here? Do you mean the American people don’t want to continue the failures another 4-8 years? How dare them. We know what is best for them because we are smarter than anyone on the opposition.
Well, it took 8 years for the people to wake up, but wake up they did.
“We know what is best for them because we are smarter than anyone on the opposition.”

Patticake, yes, I am their worst nightmare so I believe they all do their worst to silence me and also DePolar since we hold up the banner of Conservatism. They are such sore losers. Name calling, ugly language and down voting in anger is how they operate. Bob tries to wear them down with facts and links and they basically ignore him except when they call him stupid. He does get a bit carried away with the posts he makes and it is far over their head. Politically, he is a bit too moderate to suit me, but I cut him some slack being that he is from the very blue State of Washington.
Agent,
Don’t flatter yourself.
He needs no flattery.
Vanity is largely a liberal trait, with some rare exceptions in conservatives.
Hey DePolar, our new President elect doesn’t care much for the cost of the two new AF1’s that Boeing was counting on. Something about budget over runs making the cost at $4 Billion for two airplanes. He said to cancel the order. Also, it seems that the Defense Dept hid some reports that revealed they had something like $125 Billion in waste and corruption under who else, Obama. Wow, how many swamps need to be drained? Something tells me that we wouldn’t have the budget deficit at all if a businessman was in charge. Not to worry, the new Sheriff is in town starting on 1-20-17.
He was just following in President Obama’s footsteps.
See paragraph 11. Does he get any credit from you for doing the same thing?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/12/06/trump-rips-boeing-for-cost-overruns-on-new-air-force-one-says-cancel-order.htm.html
Shame on President Obama for not discovering and putting an end to military waste under his watch. If we hear about government waste in 2-3 years, will it still be President Obama’s fault or will you hold President Trump accountable?
You said, “Something tells me that we wouldn’t have the budget deficit at all if a businessman was in charge.” At what point should we expect to see a budget surplus? Just want to know when we may fairly judge his results.
For those who won’t click on Ron’s link, that paragraph reads:
Trump may have some precedent if he ultimately decides to nix the Boeing deal. President Obama in 2009 canceled the program to replace Marine One when the cost of the 28-helicopter fleet ballooned from $6.1 billion to $13 billion.
Ron, how about “Mad Dog” Mattis to clean up the Pentagon? A tough Marine should be able to get a handle on this and hire someone with business experience to get rid of the spending largesse of Democrats. Get that budget and go over it with a fine tooth comb just like a CPA does with business. We have to cut off a huge slice of fat out of the budget. The time to do it is now, not after another 4-8 years. The Federal Government is like an albatross around the neck of the citizens. We hired Trump to do this and he will although he will have opposition. All Federal Departments and agencies should be cut 25% in the coming years. That, along with a recovery in the economy will be making America Great Again. Agree or disagree, I couldn’t care less.
@Confused; apples to oranges comparison. One is for transport of the POTUS, and the other is for national defense purposes. Yes, you’re confused.
He doesn’t care about the budget, he cares that he won’t be able to bill taxpayers for using his own plane. He also didn’t discover budget overruns idiot, he read a report and freaked out on twitter about it, because that’s what unhinged lunatics do.
Yogi – you are the confused one. I did not raise that argument. I simply cut and pasted the section Ron referenced because I know some here refuse to click any links. Roger that?
Agent,
Should you take the time to read the above, OH SNAP!
OBama Care made Trump necessary. How many undecided opened up their new premium payments and decided right then and there?
FFA, good to hear from you again after a short absence. Yes, I think there were a lot of people that didn’t like their October surprise. Most saw Hilliary as an extension of Obama and she also said she would expand the disaster.
By the way, I see that the wonderful Jill Stein got that recount going in Wisconsin. Article I saw was that after 5 days of counting, Trump picked up a couple dozen more votes. These libs are something else and are still in shock they lost and are still trying to say they really won. Good thing we have a Republic instead of a Democracy.
Yep. WI isnt gonna change in favor of the other side.
Ive been busy. OBama Care season again. Could be worse then last year Doc & Network wise. Absolutely worse on premiums.
FFA, perhaps you will have some new free market plans available soon to sell with good coverage and a more affordable price. I don’t know how the Obama Administration expects much of an enrollment with their short time left in office.
And we just figured out that Rush – one of the best medical facilities / networks in the entire region will not take individual policies.
So all you folks in the Chicago area that want the best, you cant have it.
I guess thats Obamas idea of opening up competition.
Any comments from anyone that is a fan of oBama Care? Cap?
Ron, I hate to tell you this, but the swamp is huuuuuuuge and all departments will be under scrutiny by the new appointees on their budget, spending, number of employees. Jason Chaves has a new aggressive approach to reduce the number of government employees. One might be for every new hire the departments make, they have to eliminate 3 jobs. Not to worry, the jobs will be out there in the private sector, but they will have to work for a living like we do.
Confused, you need to develop your own mind instead of copying and pasting someone else’s opinion. Are you a lap dog for Ron? I believe you hitched your wagon to the wrong horse.
Agent – I see you continue to enjoy attacking me when I had not even said one single word to you. This is not the first time you’ve done that to me. I hope to never read you lie again that you only attack and insult others in response to them attacking you first.
Back to the topic: How many times have you said you refuse to click a link from a leftist poster here? 20? 50? So I clicked the link for you and posted the part Ron referenced.
So yeah – you’re welcome for my on-topic post that only should have kept the conversation on Ron’s point & question.
If you have nothing to add to the conversation and just want to keep insulting me even though I had not said one word to you first, please just STFU and move on.
Confused, what is wrong with me telling you to develop your own mind and expand your knowledge of the world? Ron is a known leftist troll and not one to be believed, copied or pasted. Even Bob has advised you several times to increase your knowledge?
How about you posting an opinion once in a while and we can either agree or disagree? Wake up and stop being so thin skinned. This is the big boy blog.
You don’t see the issue of making an off-topic post meant solely to demean me?
You don’t see the problem of insulting my intelligence out of the blue when I haven’t said one word to you?
You don’t see the hypocritical nature of your posts when you keep lying and saying you never attack first and you only attack as a response to being attacked yourself?
Agent said, “Wake up and stop being so thin skinned. This is the big boy blog.”. Coming from the guy who constantly complains about being insulted and brags about reporting people who hurt his feelings to IJ.
Take your own advice and stop whining.

Actually Yogi, your statement about the number of R votes is false. Clinton now leads the popular vote by over 2.5 million, despite 868 less polling places and all the other Republican efforts to suppress votes. I think what you meant to say is, enough electoral college votes went to R. And, that’s true. Which is why Drumpf is our President. Let’s see what he can do.
Popular vote is only appropriate in Democracies.
Didn’t your teachers teach you where you are living and what determines who will lead us? (hint: “I pledge allegiance to the flag, and to the …… for which it stands. …etc.”)
Oh, wait; schooling isn’t teaching these days, it’s brainwashing to develop mind-numbed robot liberals. Question withdrawn.
DePolar, did you see the story on the Michigan recount and all the ballot problems they have uncovered? Heavy Democrat support in the Detroit area and many invalid ballots counted. By the time they throw out those ballots, Trump may win in a landslide in Michigan instead of a narrow win.
So DePolar, why did the Federal Judge shut down the re-count in Michigan? Was Trump pulling farther ahead on the invalid ballots of Hilliary? Man, those Democrats just could not rig this election no matter how hard they tried. Give it up liberals.

Meaningless and a waste of everyone’s time to mention popular vote results for an Electoral College system.
I’ll bet you still try to speak Latin to people you meet on the street.
No, but I don’t shun Latin Americans like our President-elect does. How about you?

All right, just in time, title of another IJ article:
“How GM’s ‘Super Cruise’ Self-Driving Car Is Evolving”
Don’t worry FFA, help is on the way. Hang in there.
My rates in WI went DOWN $200 @ month. How does anyone explain that?
I know the Opiad crack down plays into it, but that program has only 10% participation rate
I think the Libtards on this site are just mad because Al Sharpton will not be advising President Trump like he did Obamanation.
I think Sharpton was one of those threatening to leave the country if Trump won. Don’t think he can since he owes substantial back taxes.
If Al Sharpton makes good on his promise and plans to go to Canada, PM Justin Trudeau will try to block him, rappers, and unhinged Hollyweird Celebs by building a wall and making Trump pay for it.
Realist, Agent, DePolar,
The circle jerk is strong with you all.
“C” letter liberals;
The above is your typical approach when you know you’ve lost.
DePolar, many on the left object to Trump using Social Media like Twitter and Facebook to get his message out. He has about 40 million followers now. Seems to me the best way to communicate with citizens instead of facing the jackal media in a press conference and have them filter it through their agenda to publish distortions or fake news. This is refreshing to say the least. Don’t think many of these people will be invited aboard AF 1 on trips either. Let them arrange their own transportation from now on.
I don’t have a problem with Trump using Twitter. I have a problem with Trump lying when he posts. And I know ALL politicians lie, but to name 3 that come to mind –
Carrier just said he lied about saving over 1,100 jobs. Ford said he lied when he claimed he saved a plant from moving to Mexico. The Mexican president said he lied when Trump said they didn’t talk about the wall even once.
I don’t have a problem with him using Twitter to get his message out. I just wish we could trust what he says when he posts
He’s a pathological liar, One Lefty. You can’t trust anything he says…or does for that matter. We The People need to keep a close eye on this one. Otherwise, he might sexually assault us all, figuratively speaking.
Realist, how about we have Franklin Graham as advisor to Trump? He is far more qualified than the fake Reverand Al Sharpton.
Both are con-artist criminals.
Republicans seem to like fake universities.

We’re gonna recount Pennsylvania!

DePolar, that was very funny. I liked the second one too about comparing Dean’s scream to Hilliary’s cackle.
Here’s one Dem who has gotten through the denial phase of the TrumPresident result:

Unfortunately for hard-working American citizens, many liberals, but not most, continue to resist the Great America Era that is about to begin…
Yogi, will it be known as the GAE times? And you support that??? Can it marry other times that are also GAE?
No; the word ‘Era’ is proper, and ‘times’ would be redundant.
Actually, Yogi, it will be known as the Great American Error. But, if you’re from Boston, it will sound like the way you wrote it.
And by the same token, the Trumpets are in denial that Trump — and his children — will use the presidency to enrich themselves first. Why settle for a mere impeachment for Donald when you can get the whole family in prison for corruption.
It’s clear you and a few other liberals here are suffering…. seriously suffering from Electile Dysfunction.
There’s a treatment for that…. de-programming you to release you from the brainwashing you were subject to in school or on the Fake News sector of the internet and other mainstream media outlets.
Deplorables, speaking of deprogramming, please reserve a spot for yourself. You should also seriously think of signing up for a class on critical thinking and spotting fake news.
Where do you go Celtica for your critical thinking? Let us guess – Media Matters, Moveon.org, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC?
Dear Agent, I go to Breitbart for critical thinking, where else.
@Celtica; OK; I’ll gladly sign up to be instructor in such a class. I’ll edify liberals like you to think clearly and logically.
DePolar, what do you think about the new deal Trump just made with Softbank & Foxconn to invest $50 Billion and create 50,000 jobs in the US? I believe he is serious about recovering this stagnant economy and creating real, good paying jobs instead of just growing government.
Meanwhile, the lamest of ducks is scratching his head and saying, but, but, but, why didn’t they come to me with this deal? Get ready, the bots will be all over this post and down vote me, but I couldn’t care less. We deal with reality and they are stuck in their Utopian world of Liberalism.
Agent, why was Ivanka Trump at the meeting with the Japanese. Rhetorical question. She was there for the Trump Organization and to profit from the presidency – just like Daddy.
Celtica, why was fake hair Gore at Trump Tower meeting with Ivanka before daddy? Did he think she would advance his Global Warming agenda? Daddy told him that he was developing Clean Coal technology, drilling everywhere he could to make America energy independent. Not exactly what Gore was looking for. By the way, we are having some record cold and snow in the north. Seems to happen every time Gore shows up.
Short commentary; it’ll make liberals heads explode.
The long term effect of Trump financial policy will make it very difficult for Dems to win the WH for over a decade, as long his successor follows some of the principles that lead to higher employment …. of those who want to work.
Once again Trump takes credit for things he didn’t do (See One Lefty Here’s post for 3 other times he’s done this).
The $100 billion SoftBank Vision Fund deal was announced nearly a month before the election took place!
If you recall, that’s when the liberal media incorrectly had Clinton winning by a landslide. So how exactly does Trump get to take credit for that deal?
Agent,
Ivanka invited Al Gore there:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/12/05/ivanka-trump-to-meet-with-al-gore-to-discuss-climate-issues/?utm_term=.aa118550ea91
You won’t open the link, so I’ll save you some time:
“Gore was in New York for the Climate Reality Project’s 24-hour live broadcast, “24 Hours of Reality,” and was invited to Trump Tower to discuss the topic by Trump’s oldest daughter, Ivanka, who is not registered with a political party and has pushed her father to adopt some positions usually promoted by Democrats.”
DePolar, following is another quote from Churchill who was very wise when he commented on Progressives.
Can a people tax themselves into prosperity? Can a man stand in a bucket and lift himself up by the handle? They seemed to think that way the past 8 years. I know this is over the heads of some on this blog.
Also, Agent, you are going to talk about fake hair when you support Drumpf? Hilarious! Again, Drumpf has done an excellent job of highlighting the right wing hypocrisy. Ivanka is advancing climate change science. And, once again, please tell the class the difference between weather and climate. Pro-tip, we just experienced the warmest autumn on record in the US this year. You see, climate is studied over long periods of time. Not just a couple days when Al Gore is in town. But, like Yogi, thanks for trying out!
Enjoy your record cold temperatures on the frozen tundra Planetarium. Your agenda is finished. It died on 11-8-16.
Hmm, we haven’t set any cold temperature records here, but okay. I just played 36 holes on 11/28. Could have played this past Monday, too (51 degrees). It would have been a little unusual playing golf in Iowa on 12/5. But, I wanted to finish a quote for one of my key accounts. It looks like we have some more 40 degree weather in the 14 day, so I might get out there before Christmas, yet.
I don’t have an agenda, Agent. Unless you think being a Christian is an “agenda”. Unless you think loving our God-given planet is an agenda. Oh, and I mean a real Christian. Not one of those Supply Side Jesus types.
Planet from another planet, it was 10 degrees in Des Moines this morning with a wind chill of 0. Go play in that.
Quiz for everyone.
What does the following list of women have in common?
