I am not surprised that our resident Republicans have wriggled out to be nose-rubby, even though I have tried a MULTITUDE of times to give them the opportunity to provide substance to their claims.

The post-election issues will be the same as the election issues. (Those that want to sow chaos will do so. They would have been following behind the fascists, too.) People want security, they want the economy to improve, they want to get money out of politics, they want a functioning government - and many just voted for the opposite of all of that.

On another thread I posted my predictions of a Trump America. I expect to be held to account for them. It would be interesting to get some substantive expressions from our conservative brethren of what THEY think Trump stands for and will accomplish. And, most importantly, how?


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
