Phil Hands for November 12, 2016

The protesters frustration is in the system: ignoring the popular vote in favor of the antiquated electoral college. My vote for the Democratic ticket wasn’t wasted. I will give the Trumpettes an opportunity to “fix” what they think is wrong. I will remain their staunchest critic and hopefully be able to give kudos.

how many of those out in the streets with baseball bats voted?

These were spontaneous. No one told them to do so.

How can the GOP and Liberal Establishment be in cahoots?

I think you mean the Democratic Establishment, which is by no means “liberal.”

All the protester/rioters need to get a job and pay taxes so they can come to realize just what all the “free” stuff they were promised by Hillary and Bernie actually costs.

You should have voted dude.

Unfortunately, old Hippie, you will likely get your wish. In four years Texas will probably be a ‘purple’ state, in ten years as sold red as CA, NY and IL. Then you won’t have to worry about those backward, pesky red states or that inconvenient electoral college. Just like major cities dominate and control a states electorate, the four of five largest states will control the nation. Your candidate will not even have to bother campaigning. Then you can force your progressive Utopian will upon the rest of us.

“W” and Cheney brought this thought to mind, 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Aschroft/Gonzales (torture is legal et al) the crash of ‘08, and destruction of the middle class. Based on suggestions of his nominees for key positions in his administration, Trump will be MUCH *worse" if Congress, yes, the Republican leadership, doesn’t rein him in.

You got one thing right, it is “he alternative information empire,” but most certainly not NEWS or FACTS or TRUTH. And it is “growing to massive proportions” but not because it serves the good of the people. The alternative information empire serves the needs of the elite, the prejudices of the bigots and misinforms all those who believe.

Some of you folks really don’t like the First Amendment.

“take to the streets” was a call for PEACEFUL protests – there were several marches and protests that did remain peaceful. Moore was NOT calling for violence. The “news” that is saying Moore is inciting violence is Fox – NOT a valid source.

It’s funny how the liberals are complaining about all the hate, and yet refuse to see it in themselves. How can the statement “Trump is NOT MY PRESIDENT” be interpreted as anything other than hate?

Would you main nailing down your statements some time, what corruption exactly? And since your boy is as corrupt as the day is long. What’s the difference then?

He says so after the fact. I don’t see how it helps though or I would do it too. Just on general principal.

well since only violent minded Republicans would call Moore’s call to protest to be automatically demanding violence there is no talking to you.

Congratulations, you found one. Want to start keeping a running tally?

Your assumption that any calls for protesting incites violence says a lot about you. Your denial of being violence-minded seems false.
