Can't do it.

Pathetic.

I love how you ignored the half dozen examples of Trump supporter violence in the links I pasted.
I've been taught all my life to value service to the weak and powerless.

From your favorite website:
https://www.google.com/amp/www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/11/17/top-10-violent-actions-trump-supporters/amp/

If you don't trust the source, all of these are easy to verify via google.
Edit-actually the sources are included in the article

Although I'm not sure the point of this exercise. There's clearly violence and hate coming from both sides.

Keep in mind Zonk is the same guy who said he didn't care who got elected, and thought Trump would "probably do a good job".

I type this as I was just verbally assaulted crossing the street in Midtown as idiots block rush hour traffic with a staged concert on 8th Ave, screaming at me to join in. Just said I was Canadian and kept moving. Interestingly they are all waving the same "Love Trumps Hate" slogan signs created by the DNC in Wikileaks.

They are literally singing songs of "Love" and some other garbage as buses line the side streets of midtown with Pennsylvania plates.

That could be a line from a song, say Simon and Garfunkel or similar

Out of curiosity, has anyone spent any significant time in Costa Rica?

I've been exploring places to move and that's on my short list. :)

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

After investigating carefully (cops cleared out and arrested a bunch). It was an anti Trump pro-Obamacare health union which rushed a Walgreens and tried to trash the place while screaming "**** Donald Trump" and "Now it's Personal"!

Equal care something or other also mixed with people demanding fair contracts. And of course more buses with PA and NJ plates.

This country is going nuts lol. Even had some huge fat guy tell me to "**** off" and stop taking pictures of them handing out signs.

Anti-Trumpers are now officially recruiting the unions for marches. Some signs were anti Trump, some equal wages, some equal care for all, all from the same pile of signs. Guess they needed more protestors and paid off a union. What a ****!

*THEY RUSHED A WALGREENS*, cops barricaded a Walgreens. LOL.

This is the group that was leading it, signs everywhere:
http://seiu.org

Guess who the DNC chief of staff is? Former head of SEIU.

http://m.dailykos.com/story/2016/6/16/1539426/-Clinton-ally-and-SEIU-Political-Director-Brandon-Davis-takes-over-the-DNC

This is all staged BS. Paid union thugs.

“When Hawaii's 29th BCT was activated for a deployment to Iraq in 2004, I was not on the mandatory deployment roster. I stepped away from my campaign, and volunteered to deploy to Iraq because I knew there was no way I could stay back in beautiful Hawaii and watch my brothers and sisters march off into combat. I knew that some of those soldiers wouldn't be coming home. I had to stand with them.”

And Trump advocated for his supporters to attack people on his behalf.

Ask yourself, what would Trump have done if he had lost the election by the margins that he may have won by in those 3 critical swing states? Republican lawyers would have been preparing challenges immediately while crying "rigged elections". Perhaps Trump shouldn't be planning his transition so-soon. Take a look.

How would Trump have responded? You didn't answer that question.

It is certainly worth taking a look considering Russia's involvement with Wikileaks, why would they stop with the DNC hack?

Does Nate Silver have access to each states data? He's got what everyone else has access to. The Republicans stole a SCOTUS seat with only a whimper from the Democrats, time for them to do exactly what Trump was prepared to do.

Go protest. Go sack your local Walgreens like the SEIU did to mine next door here in New York today. The chip aisle stood no chance.

Or prepare for 2018 and possibly be more active to get your preferred candidates elected. That's how a democracy is supposed to work.

This isn't Gore in 2000. Clinton conceded nearly 2 1/2 weeks ago. But hey go for it, as Nate has mentioned that's only going to destroy liberalism in the eyes of Trump and "on the fence" voters.

Demanding Trump "accept the results" of the election so strongly remains strongly in the minds of Americans during these childish/hypocritical protests.

Trump would have challenged because there is pro-Democrat voter fraud that goes on every year with millions of illegal aliens who vote.

Ok. Cool.

Anyway, if you were Hillary would you challenge the results as well?

So you're saying if you were Hillary you'd challenge the results as well?

No, because if Hillary challenges, the scope of the voter fraud will be revealed and her deficit would only grow. :D

In all honesty, I'd understand a Hillary challenge if it was just one or two states that made the difference. But she needs either Florida plus a state (and Florida has a 120,000 vote margin), or she needs all 3 of WI, MI and PA. That's just not gonna happen.

Republicans complaining about voter fraud is funny. The whole electoral college system is fraud on its own to help Republicans win the presidential race. Republican Congress members who will shoot down DC becoming a State is also voter fraud because they want to continue to suppress DC residents and their ability to get representation. Think about this, if there was a bill which gave people a day off to vote or made it mandatory that everyone votes, who will shoot down that proposal? Now think about why Republicans will shoot down that bill. It is because they understand that Republicans will never win office again, or at least in their current version of governing. Elected officials are supposed to work for the people and be the voice of the people. Meanwhile Republicans want to make it difficult for the people to voice their concerns through voting. Once again voting fraud.

I am neither democrat or republican because I know that the system is screwed up due to both of these parties. The difference between the two parties is that one at least tries/pretends to look out for the people.

I am going to finish this rant by saying I will probably never check this thread again as it has gotten me very heated and I know if I do check it again I will probably check it every hour and not get anything done at work or in life. And it will not be a healthy routine for me (probably will kick start my bouts with Alopecia).

What % of Trumps votes were as a result of voter fraud or Russian hacks, do we know?
