    Oh. My. God. The Millenial angst and hyperventilation has kicked in! Reality has smacked Skye upside the head – FINALLY!

    (Channeling Dan Akroyd) Skye, you ignorant slut, life is not fair. We won. Ypu lost. Tough bananas, kiddo. There can be ONLY ONE and it ain’t YOURS.

    Hey Skye…answer me this. Why is it always “fair” whenever your side wins, but UNfair whenever OUR side wins…..like NOW?

    And wasn’t it YOU and YOUR “tolerant” and “inclusive” fellow travelers that threw a shit-hemorrhage hissy fit when Trump said he might not accept the election results if he didn’t win?

    NOW who’s out there RIOTING, BURNING, DESTROYING private property in “protest” to the fact that your lying, thieving, conniving, corruptocrat candidate lost because WE THE PEOPLE were fed the fuck up with the bullshit we were getting from YOUR GUY for the past 8 years?

    Care to answer that one for me, you stupid airheaded, infantile bitch?

    Technically, electors are not legally committed to vote for the candidate they represent, so the snowflakes are within their rights.

    I hope this fine legal point does not preclude a hair-pulling match (y’know, rolling on the ground, tearing each other’s clothes off, legs flailing, showing all their fine anatomical splendor).

    • November 18, 2016 at 9:54 pm

      Lots of things are legal that are still not advisable.

      The question is what logical adults would do when an imperfect but workable system that has served well didn’t go their way in a fair and square contest…as in the last few cycles of it. And also what the response of these whiny brats would be if they had won and the adults tried the subterfuge, sabotage, and temper tantrums on them.

      I’m down with the anatomical spendor thing though. 🙂

        If that tactic gains traction, I anticipate that as soon as Trump says “let us spot check the illegal vote and vote fraud before you declare Hillary the popular winner” that the complaints will cease.

      If the electors switch their votes, and Trump loses due to Libtard shenanigans, those switch-vote electors had better move pronto quick, and change their IDs. Otherwise, every conservative citizen (not serf) would be within their rights (yes, I said rights) to find and hang every one of them from the nearest tree or lamp post.
      And right along next to them will be room for the whiny special snowflake Libtards that caused it to happen.

        The precedent of killing unfaithful electors was set in the USA a long time ago. There have been very few unfaithful electors. Not all unfaithful electors have been killed upon returning home.

      So what is the big total count? Cali + NY +Texas? Is that the total “majority”vote? Then a large number of these melting snowflakes would have a mental breakdown to find their vote means nothing at all without the Electoral College. OH! I’m sorry! They were never taught that!

        One map circulated today notes that Democrats only won in 56 high-population counties in the entire US. I’m not sure that’s completely accurate, but it’s certainly close.

        I recall in 2000 that Gore’s 2.4 million vote popular margin was equal to the excess vote of his average margin in New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. (And Bush’s 750 vote margin in Florida, I strongly suspect but can’t prove, was due to Cuban-Americans who would normally vote for the Democrat but who refused to vote after Elian Gonzalez.)

        The by-county map is solid red, except for little streaks of blue – even in Oregon and California. A few coastal enclaves on the left coast, and a good chunk of the northeast, along with some other areas are where that “popular” vote was strong with the left. Everything else was pretty solid red.
        (I think NYT has a map, but I won’t visit their site to find it.)

        Heri it is;

        http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/president

        Click on a State and you can see what the voting was by County/District.

        People with an eye for crookedness can spot which states had a lot of Fraud. California for example had four million-plus Absentee Ballots, and VA had the Governor line up thousands of Felons to vote…

      • November 19, 2016 at 11:35 am

        I said yesterday in response to a comment from Interventor that the Democrats have been relegated to regional party status:

        “Intra-regional. It’s not about North/South or East/West now (well it’s always about the South for some of us ;), but pockets of socialist villainy within otherwise American states…take a look at a county breakdown of red/blue in NY, IL, even CA to see what I mean.”

        Note that those teeming hives would, by choice or by fiat, be unarmed. Just saying.

      It’s my understanding that some states, but not all, do require their electors to honor the vote.

      • November 18, 2016 at 10:52 pm

        Under threat of what I think I heard is a penalty of only a fine, which certain um, investors, have offered to pay.

      • November 19, 2016 at 12:55 am
        TJM

        The penalty varies from state to state; in some states not voting as designated is a low-grade felony.

        I think the real trick is the point noted at the start of the column – combined with the fact that the Trump team has given the electors – who are selected by virtue of their support for the party-or-candidate anyway – no reason to think that his election was something they would want to change their votes for.

        Not to mention that at least one Democrat-leaning elector has refused to support Hillary, without any prodding.

        “The penalty varies from state to state; in some states not voting as designated is a low-grade felony.”

        Even that would be up to prosecutorial discretion. No act is illegal unless the actor is successfully prosecuted.

      Depends on the State. Most States require the Electors to vote for who won in that State, a couple divide the Electors by Congressional District and require them to vote for who won that district. A couple require the Electors to vote for who won the total popular vote and a few make no legal requirement.

    Interesting. I followed the orange arrow, which leads to a spreadsheet. At the point in time I clicked on it the spreadsheet held 242 email addresses. Parsing the email addresses for domain yields 176 at yahoo.com or gmail.com. 73%. What are the odds that most of those email addresses didn’t exist two weeks ago?

    • November 18, 2016 at 10:11 pm
      Sage Grouch

      I didn’t parse the list carefully, but I did scan it and got the impression that *way* more than 50% of the names on that list belonged to females. When you see such a lopsided distribution, there must be a reason.

    • November 18, 2016 at 11:14 pm

      Probably reasonably small. After all, where else would you expect troops in the Free S*t Army to go to get their email addresses?

      Dude this is getting personal. I understand. Don’t know if it’s the case with you and Skye but this ‘toon has went straight like a laser to some personal meatspace metaphors for me.

      If you do know someone like Skye who is a product of a sick culture environment but who has good genes? Don’t wish her dead, she might be redeemable. Remember she didn’t experience Reagan. A four-year dose of reality and responsibility might do wonders when added to the exposure to Sam and Zed that she is learning and benefitting from. Maybe take a serious look at being a productive sentient being rather than a brainwashed slug. Getting her kids back and preparing them for a real free future. Settle down with a good man and learn the real purpose and rewards of God’s law of monogamy and heterosexuality.

      If all of that happened she would not only survive but help ensure the propagation of a good and decent population to continue to counter and defeat the dark agenda’ed forces that currently have her under their control.

      Yeah it can happen because it did happen. In 1980-’82. To Me. Meet the son of a dyed in the wool Southern union democrat who became the same, I was a Machinists’ Union member in my mill job from age 18 until the smart Southern farmer who I so wanted to succeed became a monumental disappointment. Then I looked into Ronnie’s eyes and I believed him instead. Because he believed. It took a few years to convince me that everything I thought I knew was wrong; I became a real Reagan Republican (well, Independent now).

      Skye could be a Trump Republican (or Independent, or Trumpian as someone said, as distinct from gope as usual.

      Hey, it could happen. Maybe her generation won’t squander this chance to save the Republic; otherwise it could be the last chance.

        Sadly a little dose of “reality” doesn’t always work either. I’ve “dyed-in-the-wool” libby friend who is wholeheartedly in the “Trump is a Tyrant” camp. He protects his children (13 & 15) from all news and political discussion. His 15 year old daughter was in hysterics the morning after the election believing that Trump being elected means she would be raped an no one would help her physically or legally. Considering how sheltered she is from normal sources of information of any kind I can only guess where she got that idea. Of course my friend doesn’t realize he is the source of the infection and claims it’s all the fault of others. And of course he is an Urban Dweller and employed by the City he lives in so exposure to the disease is constant and unrelenting.

        My, you are an optimist!
        Which is what it takes to make such a transition.
        I.e. When 0baMao was elected, my first thought was, “Well, now we can ALL ‘Hope for Change’ together.” Because it was obvious that what he would do would go horribly wrong for the country, perhaps waking the complacent and disappointing the free stuff crowd. Of course that it took 30 years of alternative news sources to gain credibility above the LSM is still disappointing, all that lost time. 🙁

A proposal that would work would be of interest to a lot of people. Even if it takes a very high number of teachers to students. At 70 will use the time if it could be shown to make a difference. Why? I have four daughters, three neat darling daughters and one smelly lazy worthless badger. If it worked we would rescue our daughter we were afraid was lost.

    There is a report that a letter has been sent to Mr Trump by the presidents of a 110 small to medium US colleges DEMANDING that he ” … condemn and work to prevent the harassment, hate and acts of violence that are being perpetrated across our nation, sometimes in your name, which is now synonymous with our nation’s highest office.”

    First she’s jealous of her sis, for BOINKING HER OWN HUSBAND, (penis envy, much?) And then proves she slept through 8th grade civics class. How can a rational person even think this attempted prostitution of Constitutional law is warranted by this harridans losing an election?

    • November 19, 2016 at 12:14 am

      I will try to explain, JohninMd. An entire generation of children has been educated to be functionally illiterate, so much so that, as Pamela said yesterday, they don’t know how to do arithmetic or parse a cogent sentence into existence. Unfortunately, this means that they are vulnerable to gossip, pseudo-info, and false news reports. They have no understanding of the rule of law or that the USConstitution is the law of the land, because – well, they don’t even have to take a test on it to graduate from high school any more.
      These children are future adults who cannot read, write or do simple arithmetic, or any of the things most of us learned in grade school. If I were a paranoid conspiracy theorist, I’d say the school system was revamped to turn them into cattle instead of intelligent, comprehending adults. This is where your tax money went, and the result will be an entire population demographic of people who have degrees but are too illiterate to perform basic job functions. They do not have and will not have any skills of any kind.
      I’ve worked with people who are like that. They don’t understand a simple alphanumeric filing system, but they sure can surf the net and tweet.
      It’s scary, but there is a percentage of the same generation who are NOT like that, and they are not libidiots.

        My children were part of the whole language education revolution here is California. Each time I would review their assignments and help with homework. Their grades said one thing but I knew they were behind based on their reading and writing skills. I did not believe their teachers that they were at grade level and wanted testing done. The disparity between grades and test results was enlightening.

        Enter Sylvan with more intensive testing which showed both had learning issues that had been ignored. Both received intervention and were brought past grade level. Daughter is now a CNA in a Memory Care Unit working towards an RN. Son is an Attorney and does Pro-Bono work for Military Guys when they need some help. Both are voracious readers to this day.

        Their teachers told me to my face they would be lucky to get hired at Micky D’s because they weren’t all that smart. Daughter tested at 123 IQ and Son tested at 181 IQ. Daughter learned to read music and play guitar from Janis Joplin’s teen aged boyfriend, and Son has self taught himself six different languages.

        I taught myself phonics in 4th grade (from an old textbook left behind in the school library – in rural Kentucky). Taught myself cursive in second grade one day when the teacher had to be out and I was left in the 7th grade classroom to have supervision.

        Which among other things helped ensure that I was promoted from 4th to 6th grade. Didn’t do me much good socially, but it all worked out in the end.

        Of course, this was in the mid-60’s. #ShowingMyAge

They don’t always appreciate all of the watchfulness but I am pleased with their critical thinking skills so far.

      ” Does ANYONE on the left give a gold-platedplated FUCK about this nation anymore? ”
      At the top, no.
      For the leaders it is all and only about personal power. They spout far-left rhetoric and so have the support of the DMC, whose members had that pounded into their heads all through their top-end schools. Including the Ivy League diploma mills where they burnished their credentials for jobs supporting the elites.
      Below that level are the folks who listen to and believe the nightly news on the DMC, or the younger ones who take their cue from socialist social media.

        More to the point, our Leaders, lawyers, news media, and their clients want and need the electorate to be GULLIBLE.
        It isn’t just a matter of controlling access to information or drowning pertinent information in a sea of disinformation, but actively eliminating Rhetoric training from the public school curriculum.
        Rhetoric is a critical skill in the maintenance of the Republic, because WE are its watchdogs.

        I believe that the name you are looking for is Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known by the alias Vladimir Lenin.

    Some of those email addresses appear to be corporate email. Is anybody harassing them to get them to change their employment decisions?
    Are they aware of their possible employee misuse of company email?
    Why are emails such a problem for Liberals?

    All the comments so far are saying all of the dimensions I would cover, and repetition is rather boring. Well done, y’all. I’ve still got all kindsa new toys, and food for them.

    How can a woman, a fictional one albeit, be so hot, yet not. I would think she would have outgrown her stupidity, at least a little bit at her age. At least Jan has her moments of clarity of thought. So I’ll settle for that.

    The hildebeast’ s concession, combined with her “condition”, beginning the last evening of her candidacy, through now, should make it apparent to even the dimmest of the dhimmilibtards, that they should let this go…

    The absentee votes and the just most easily resolved of the fraudulent votes, make it undeniable that the popular vote also went for Trump.

    Without that, they have no reason other than their filled diapers to go at the electors.

    Those electors had better behave. The b-ho fanning the flames of dissent is bad enough, but they are playing with fire.

      My daughter has a severely brain damaged 5 year old she takes care of 24/7.
      Sweetest little girl. I frequently talk to her and play with her toys with her.
      When excited or scared she waves both hands in the air in violent, short movements. Looks like “jazz hands”.

    The Five Levels of Democrat Response:
    1. Street Level:”THEY’RE GOING TO STOP GIVING US THE FREE STUFF WE DESERVE!”
    2. Rioter-Supporter Level:”It wasn’t fair!”
    3. Main Level:”But, I don’t know anyone who voted for him!”
    4. Elite Level:”How could it happen? We bought that a win!”
    5. Soros Level:”Hmm, that failed. On to the next ploy.”

    There was a time when the only people who were booed in a theater was the poor performance offered by the actors or if Simon Legree was on stage.

    The entire female cast of the toon would have to offer their bodies to electors for any number to even consider changing their vote…Just don’t see it happening.

    There needs to be a period of conscription in the USA for all citizens
    upon reaching the age of say..18, for a year of service to the greatest
    country in the world..ours.
    These young people would be required to serve in a capacity where
    they would lose their freedom, as in the military.. during this time of conscription they would have to leave home, live in barracks, be told
    what to do, and when, but not why, with no rebellion allowed.
    They would have to do what ever their controllers demanded;
    pick up trash, work on roads, do many things which Americans have
    been taught that they are too good to do. After they are released
    from captivity, they would be allowed to go wherever they want,
    and their Freedom (which is not free) would be restored.
    Everyone would have ‘skin in the game’.

      It has been my contention for, several decades, that such a program should be a post-high school prerequisite to entering college. Maybe then entirely too many college students wouldn’t waste 3/4 of their college careers trying to find out what they want to do with their lives.

      National service has been shouted down many times, now maybe the time if the leftist agenda did not create an irreversible critical mass, I think we are in the process of finding that out which would affect this idea as well as so many others

      • November 19, 2016 at 5:59 pm

        Speaking of leftists creation of an irreversible critical mass of insanity, it pervades the thugs themselves of course but also right up through administration…a rep’s grandson is killed for some shoes by the former and here’s the response by the latter:

        “There was a history between the young people involved and it was a dispute over gym shoes. This was not random but was egregious and senseless to use a gun over a fight for clothes,” said Anthony Guglielmi, spokesman for the Chicago Police Department…it underscores that there’s no repercussions for using guns in Chicago and our criminal justice system is not an effective deterrent,” he added.

        This culture sickness runs deep and wide…and makes me pretty sick too. Curing us all will be hard and take time.

      Although I am not any more fond of conscription than I am of taxes, I think it would be particularly poetic justice if the conscriptees were put to work ground-truthing government documentation like names, addresses, voter registrations etc.

        Perhaps we should take Heinlein’s advice in “Starship Troopers.” There would be two groups, Citizens and Civilians. Both would have all the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights, but only the Citizens would have the right to vote. Everyone born or living in America would automatically be a Civilian, but in order to become a Citizen you would have to accept several responsiblities that Civilians wouldn’t. You would have to sign up for the draft (and receive training similar to the National Guard). In order to balance out your freedom to vote, you would have be willing to fight and die to ensure others rights in the system. You would have sign up for jury duty. And finally, you would have to demonstrate at least basic knowledge of American government and history.

        I have been saying this for years.

      • November 19, 2016 at 10:44 pm

        It ain’t starship science (heh).

        Sixty years ago Heinlein knew that a free society is only sustainable if it can be defended from outside forces. If you help defend it you should get to help guide it and those who don’t, don’t. Simple.

        And nothing has really changed. RH was issuing a warning, one that we ignored to our near-peril.

        I said near. We have a chance to get back to the premise that productive citizens call the shots, so to speak. Hope it works.

    Is Sam’s statement backwards?

    • November 19, 2016 at 3:55 pm

      I thought so at first. But I think she’s referring to the EC process, so no.

      Wasn’t the media the one wondering if Trump and his followers would accept it if Hillary won? Did they ever get around to asking if Hillary and her followers would accept if Trump won? Guess they didn’t think it was a possibility.
