But it's okay if it's Obama? That's not racism either? The door swings both ways. Racism or charges of it can't just be one sided.

We didn't win! We need our trophy!!! Let's accuse Trump of destroying America while we go out and destroy America. We won a bigger than previous margin in the house, a bigger than previous margin in the senate, the popular vote. It's not a bad thing to point out this is hardly a majority mandate. Although that should be peacefully done.

When they have to pay for it or be held responsible for it. What kind of mayor allows that crap to go on?

Ugh. One of the reasons I was worried about DH downtown last night is Portland's current mayor has directed the police not to enforce certain laws. Same thing happened last few nights. The mayor directed police to allow protesters onto the bridges and interstates and to not interfere. 1 million worth of damages later . . . I wonder when people will get tired of it. that's terrible!

One of the things that I think that the GOP has to be very careful about is discussing that they have a mandate and dismissing the fact that Trump lost the popular vote. I'm not saying that they can't be thrilled at their win, because they should be. And they also should get to do what they want to do. But, at the same time, it would behoove them to keep in mind that more than half the people who voted didn't actually vote for their guy.

Here in Wisconsin we have giant trucks with plows on the front for moving snow. I think that would be a fine way to deal with people that block highways and refuse to leave.

Each party laid claim to helping "the average american" prosper, protecting the country from terrorist attacks, etc. Their paths to achieve that were markedly different - and - incompatible. For example, the stance on immigration - there isn't any blending or inbetween there. 2 - given the "stop the show" antics of reading dr. seuss books to stall something on the senate floor that didn't fit their agenda....no....they are not going to give the slightest thought to those "other americans"

That'll hurt their little bodies along with their little minds. So would a swat on the ass when they were younger but it's to late for that. Would have hurt their little bottoms but done wonders for their perspective.

I doubt you and zibi running them over with cars and snow trucks will do much good.
In the meantime my 'small liberal arts college near Portland' senior says school is in and no counseling services offered (other than what is always available). She did say there is an anti-administration blog castigating them for being anti-conservative.

Me personally - I'm not a protester by nature and I don't like crowds. If it makes them feel better and they act civilized I don't have a problem with protesters as long as they stay away from me.
But I honestly don't see the point and it seems like a waste of time. Trump already won the EC even if Clinton got popular vote and the EC needs to be respected until it gets changed - if it does get changed. It's how our system works and there is nothing that can be done regarding this election.

Meanwhile I'm very happy to hear that your local college is open for business. I guess their are no snowflakes in Portland.

No edit involved. But if makes you feel alright to think so it's cool with me. I'm past it. Am I reading this wrong?? In the meantime my 'small liberal arts college near Portland' senior says school is in and no counseling services offered (other what is always available).My bad. It's your 'small liberal arts college near Portland' senior. Whatever that means.

I'm in Seattle not Portland. The school is also not in Portland. My daughter is a senior and I have been asking her whether they were closed or had 'Trump" counseling. She said no but something is going on. There is an anti admin blog about the school being anti-conservative. Is Trump a conservative? I sure didn't think so.
In the meantime, there seem to be plenty of snowflakes in Portland.

Peaceful protests are fine. Riots and looting are not. Blocking roads is not okay. Threatening people attending events not okay. Pulling people out of their cars and beating them is not okay.
They locked the stadium gates Thursday night as people were headed in for the Ravens Browns game because of the so called peaceful protestors marching to the stadium. People were beaten after the game while leaving. I guarantee the next time the Ravens play at home, the governor will ensure the fans safety. The useless mayor won't but the stadiums are state property. She's once again failed miserably to protect the city and innocent people. Thank God she did not seek re-election.

Just more Democrats/liberals showing their hypocrisy. When right-leaning individuals hated that Obama was elected, the left called them racists and told them to grow up and accept his presidency. Now that the leftist candidate lost, the same "rational" individuals are holding protests, looting and destroying property, and yelling out "Not My President." Just like what happens EVERY TIME the left loses something - letting off tantrums like the children they are. Just think what they would have said if Republicans/conservatives had held protests, damaged property, etc after Obama's election wins? So, as always, hypocritical douche...

Those who are looting and destroying property are in no way rational. I don't care with what political party they're affiliated. In fact, I don't think that makes a bit of difference to those who are looting and destroying property. They've just found an excuse to do what they do and jumped on board for the ride.

Luckily the MD governor is strong. Baltimore's mayor is not. After the riots this spring, he'll jump in quickly.

Well the GOP had a six year temper tantrum, so I'll give the democrats a week or so to get over the shock and regroup.
