    And in the process they've kicked any possible moral high ground they may have had to the curb.

    Good point. I didn't vote for Trump (or Hillary as was a Kasich / Libertarian backer) but I'm nearly certain this is unprecedented.

    This is the type of stuff that could rally some moderates to Trump's side or at least have them start equating Democrats' protesting the peaceful transfer of power (action) to anything moderately offensive Trump will say (words).

    I know you are being sarcastic. But that's the funny part. Imagine the lawsuits and protests if Hillary had won.

    But I don't think there would've been lawsuits or protests because almost everyone was expecting Hillary to win.

    Until she didn't.

    They have a ball? Dems have been destroyed by Obozo, Clinton and the commie one world order agenda. Done. Stick a fork in 'em.

    America has seen who they really are.

    Right. Trump was already planning on suing if he lost. Well he said he would if he won too. Among a bunch of other things.

    They still don't understand what happened. They're bitter, they cling to their bathrooms or body parts or antipathy towards people who aren't like them.

    John Kaisich is helping fuel today's toxic environment. Some of us saw this coming a long time ago.

    It simply reinforces that the liberal elite are a bunch of condescending pricks that pout and whine and name-call when they don't get their way.

    Trump whines and name-calls too. He's just not a condescending prick about it.

    no. his whining is no different than theirs other than the fact that you agree with what he's saying when he whines

    Progressive is supposed to mean moving forward and upward, like, as in getting things done and making things better. How are these temper tantrums progressive? And to those who would argue "Well, Trump would do the same thing," that's not a leadership. It's reactionary, regressive, stick in the mud, Tit for Tat. Want to win the mid-terms in 2018, quit following and reacting. Start leading instead.

    politics in general have become incredibly regressive and reactionary. I agree tho. Stop playing petty politics, stop denying reality, and start organizing for a cause. It's a meaningless gesture that just makes you look like a bitch.

    It's hilarious that the party that rigged the primary to kill off commie Sanders is complaining the real election was somehow rigged by Russia.

    Popular vote numbers were almost entirely swayed by Kalifornia. That's why we ain't the United State of Kali where kooks outlaw cow farts and classify assault with a deadly weapon and rape as non violent felonies.

    Who in this thread said anything about Russia rigging the election?

    Asking for a fren.
