    I have an issue with Trump's responses right now. When he was running he continued to fuel this confidence into his supporter, now that he knows a whole lot more, he doesn't reassure anyone of anything anymore. Is it hard for him to come out and say: "It's all bogus folks, don't worry, don't pay attention to any of that." ? Instead, he keeps flooding his Twitter / FB with rather vague posts.

    We all realize that this bogus recount is going to happen to make his presidency look illegitimate (since they know they can't really reverse or change anything) don't you think Trump should now forget about looking presidential and call every fraudster by name and tell us, the American people, what he really thinks and what the hell is really going on? I hope he'll do that starting tomorrow, maybe he's holding some of it back because of the holiday. The other side is not holding anything back, holiday or not.

    Articles like this one help me keep things in perspective: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/11/the_democrats_real_strategy_in_launching_recounts.html

    If Democrats are allowed to cherry-pick districts and write the rules of the recount like Al Gore tried to do in 2000 (a partial tick counts as a vote, two votes for president counts for Gore), they could very well steal this election. Results must be certified by Dec. 13 and any skewing of the results up to that point could result in a stolen election. That is why Jill Stein intentionally waited until the last minute to file her recount request. In Wisconsin, the recount request was filed one-and-a-half hours before the deadline and she is waiting until the deadline in the other two states which foolishly have later recount deadlines. Factor in the absentee ballots and all the problems that can occur with them.

    That is why Jill Stein is requesting hand recounts in Wisconsin and Michigan: so there will be no time for Trump to challenge the results in court.

    What Trump should do is have his team and the Republican Party's team of lawyers at the ready. The first thing they should do is go to court to ask for an injunction to stop the recount. Jill Stein has no standing in this recount and has no chance to win, other than to help Hillary steal the election.

    https://www.wired.com/2016/11/jill-stein-filed-recount-wisconsin-now/

    This is going to be a repeat of 2000. Those "monitors" will demand to see each and every ballot as it is counted which will slow down the process and it will be slowed down even more when they challenge tens of thousands of ballots. Just like they did in Florida back in 2000.

    You know, with the Clintons, who are bottom feeders in which no action is too sleazy or corrupt, you never know what they will stoop to in their endless quest for money and power. I am optimistic, however, that they are soon to be relegated to the dustbin of history, this last gasp, notwithstanding.

    He has called Stein's action a scam to raise money. He has called Hillary a hypocrite for joining the recount. This will backfire on the liberals. They are being exposed as the power-hungry, cheating politicians that they truly are. This will hurt them, ultimately.

    Trump absolutely needs to be on top of the recounts; with Reince Priebus in the mix, I am sure that the organization will be there fighting tooth and nail.

    That's precisely what he should have said on Twitter / FB / YouTube / TV: "I will get every lawyer at my disposal to go and stop this scam." (If it is a scam as he claims it to be). It's just his willingness to fight this is not as evident to the people (although none of us knows what's going on behind the scenes).

    That is exactly what she is.

    And so are all of these other babies wanting a recount or that we should get rid of the electoral college.

    You'd think it would change the way they think / act - but it will not. They'll continue to use the same idiotic tactics that led to their huge loss.

    I suspect that there is a desire on Trump's part to downplay this and continue with his staffing decisions, etc., in public. I cannot believe that he or his team do not understand the importance of these recounts, especially with Reince on the team who is originally from Wisconsin, I believe.

    If you skip all the silly blah, blah, blah and read between the lines you can clearly see the left saying: "It's time to stop being cry babies, Trump has really won."

    http://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/another-call-for-a-recount

    I like this one: "Trump’s victory has been truly disorienting for millions of Americans". What about "Trump’s victory has been truly exhilarating for millions of Americans"? No, no you'll never hear them say that.

    Note that this recount effort will not have any effect on the results. As I mentioned earlier, the Trump train has left the station. Everyone, including the Clinton campaign, admit that the recounts have zero chance of giving Billary enough votes to claim any of the states. Further, even if they manage to muck up the three states' electoral votes by them not being ready by December 19th, Trump will still win as the total needed for a "Majority" of electoral votes will change and he will still have the majority of votes. The magic number right now is 270 because 538 electoral votes are expected to be cast. If less than that are cast due to the left's shenanigans, the majority required to win will be proportionately less as well and Trump will still have it. But, again, this recount is all about money and visibility for Stein and one last gasp for the Clinton Crime Family before they shuffle off to the dustbin of history.

    I disagree with that strongly. I have never been a big fan of symbolism of any kind. Burning a flag is freedom of expression and the courts have ruled as such. Perhaps that standard could be applied to non-citizen immigrants, but not to natural born citizens or even naturalized immigrants.

    The most patriotic thing a person can do is not waving a flag but contributing to society by working, paying taxes, and raising any children they have properly by educating them about the difference between right and wrong and, of course, teaching those children the importance of hard work and how it is necessary to get ahead in life. Take a look at any Democrat stronghold in America and see how full of crime and violence and welfare dependence it is. They do not know the difference between right and wrong and that is probably the result of the entitlement mentality that Democrats have pounded into their heads the past 50 years so those Democrats could buy votes.

    @billzo Don't get distracted. I am only referring to one thing: Flag burning. A citizen that respects America will never consider burning the flag. Only punks, idiots, hippie-like / occupy wall street-like protesters, America haters of all kinds will. And I, honestly, do not give a flying crap whether or not those types are protected by the first amendment and what-not. They produce nothing, pay no taxes and are leeches on this economy. Their terrible actions must be stopped, not encouraged. And lastly, just because something has been allowed for years and years doesn't mean is the right thing to do.

    You seem to believe in harsh punishment for most other forms of idiotic protest(s) .. . But, why should burning a flag be allowed?

    A flag is nothing more than a symbol. Burning a flag that one has purchased is not the same as blocking traffic, vandalism, smashing windows, etc. Nobody is inconvenienced or injured physically or financially when a flag is burned. Nobody's right of passage is blocked when a flag is burned. People may be offended, but there is no actual harm done to them.

    I don't mind if people protest legally. That is a sacred right under the United States Constitution. But nobody has the right to block traffic or commit other crimes. It is because of the lack of punishment in this country that the liberal left continues to commit those crimes. No punishment for crime, no deterrent to committing crime.

    You know what, during the campaign I did not have any real expectations on the economy under Trump other than it could not be worse than what it has been under Obama. I knew that killing Obamacare and all the crazy anti-business regulations would help it to get better, but I had no real feeling about how much better it would get. However, having seen his actions since the election, especially in terms of the finance people he has added to his cabinet, his statements confirming that he will stick to his campaign promises, and his powerful understanding of the importance of symbolism and the confidence it gives businesses (e.g., Carrier), I am now thinking that we could be in for another great run like we had under Reagan. Reagan was a master at giving businesspeople confidence and backing it up with actions; Trump looks like he will do the very same thing and we look to be in for a great ride, just like the 1980's. I am really starting to get excited about the prospects for the economy in 2017. First, we have to get through a few more weeks of Obama, of course.

    676,000 unemployed workers stopped looking for work in October and November and dropped out of the workforce. This is during the build-up to the Christmas buying season. That is absolutely dismal.

    Each month 2.5 times more people drop out of the workforce (not retiring) than actually find jobs. That is dismal beyond compare. But Obama considers it to be an accomplishment. So the unemployment rate "plunges" (the word used by the liberal news media) to 4.6%. Never mentioned by those liberal media types is that the only reason the unemployment rate fell is because unemployed people stopped looking for work.

    Of course, that is the goal of dedicated leftists like Obama and his acolytes. They WANT people to be nonproductive and dependent upon government handouts because that increases the number of people that they have power over. Experts say "follow the money" and that is true because money often relates to power. However, "follow the power" might actually be more accurate. The more people out of work and suffering, the better for the control freaks.
