The same could be said about our other candidate. Oh wait a moment, it was said, she was clearly not the people's choice.
As of August 2013, 22 countries, including 12 Latin American countries, have laws for compulsory voting and 11 of these 22 countries enforce these laws in practice.
And...
At the 2010 Tasmanian state election, with a turnout of 335,353 voters, about 6,000 people were fined $26 for not voting, and about 2,000 paid the fine.
46.9% of eligible American voters didn't even go out and vote!! I can't believe that in such a volatile and contested election that just more than half of you voted. Outrageous. If you chose not to vote you have forfeited your RIGHT to criticize the democratically elected government of Donald Trump.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died to ensure your right to vote and millions around the world have died to ensure or gain the right of their countrymen to vote.
Voter apathy is rampant in Canada and other Western countries too so don't think you're alone because you're not.
On the night of the election the Canadian government's immigration web site crashed due to the number of Americans logging in! There's also a dating site called Maple Match that matches Americans with Canadians as a road to Canadian citizenship. It crashed too.
I suspect that Mr. Trump will provide the late night talk shows with a great deal of fodder just like George Bush Jr. did.
As a Canadian, I just hope that Mr. Trump is a good neighbour; Canadians know that the American public is and have been for generations. We are culturally and financially intertwined and we are each other's largest trading partners. We'll work it out, we always do because we're friends. That's why we can have the world's longest undefended border.
Hold on, it's going to be a hell of a ride for all of us.
Nobody should try to predict what Donald Trump will do.
I even saw petitions circulating on facebook created in hopes of bribing people in the electoral college to change their vote next month. (I say bribing cuz the electoral college folk get a fine for changing their vote in a lot of cases, and the oppositional side's supporters are saying they'll group together and pay the electors fines) Fuckin ridiculous!
In regards to ridiculing and demeaning other countries leaders I very much hope that you will be there to do it if my country would ever elect a populistic demagogue with no moral values.
I don't understand why Americans are protesting and rioting in the streets. You elected him! It's all legal and fair so if you want to take something from this I hope it's that you should get off your ass and VOTE!!! As for the present time all I can say is deal with it and accept it. You chose him.
When the potential leader of the US says the things that Trump has said, it gets worldwide attention. A lot of attention, and attention generates opinions.
Alexblue, he belittled everyone....except white men.

So you just said what I said in your revised post..
1 reason they protest is George Soros is paying 15 to 20 a hour and providing insurance benefits for those dingbats.The last cop involved shooting in my area prompted a large protest. Friends of mine in uniform located buses in parking lots from at least 3 states that brought in protesters. A violation of a law that has been on the books since the 60's.
The second reason they are protesting is they are afraid jobs will come back to America and they will have to get off their lazy ass's and go back to work!
They are also afraid their freebies will be cut off or trimmed back. When you have folks living in low income housing and making a 1000 bucks a week cash working under the table or selling drugs making ALOT of money, there is several issues that need to be fixed. Not continue providing the people with a cheap house.
I guess their theory is, the crying baby gets the bottle.
In this case, the crying baby will get to **** in it's full diaper!
So to some degree,being I could get paid for being a total sumbitch and tear up the town and get by scott free, Maby I am the dumbass for having morals and social values that prompt me to feel like that behavior is detrimental to America, not beneficial.
I am proud I voted against Hillary. America may still have a chance!

This wasn't an election. It was a revolution.
It's midnight in America. The day before fifty million Americans got up and stood in front of the great iron wheel that had been grinding them down. They stood there even though the media told them it was useless. They took their stand even while all the chattering classes laughed and taunted them.
They were fathers who couldn't feed their families anymore. They were mothers who couldn't afford health care. They were workers whose jobs had been sold off to foreign countries. They were sons who didn't see a future for themselves. They were daughters afraid of being murdered by the "unaccompanied minors" flooding into their towns. They took a deep breath and they stood.
They held up their hands and the great iron wheel stopped.
The Great Blue Wall crumbled. The impossible states fell one by one. Ohio. Wisconsin. Pennsylvania. Iowa. The white working class that had been overlooked and trampled on for so long got to its feet. It rose up against its oppressors and the rest of the nation, from coast to coast, rose up with it.
They fought back against their jobs being shipped overseas while their towns filled with migrants that got everything while they got nothing. They fought back against a system in which they could go to jail for a trifle while the elites could violate the law and still stroll through a presidential election. They fought back against being told that they had to watch what they say. They fought back against being held in contempt because they wanted to work for a living and take care of their families.
They fought and they won.
This wasn't a vote. It was an uprising. Like the ordinary men chipping away at the Berlin Wall, they tore down an unnatural thing that had towered over them. And as they watched it fall, they marveled at how weak and fragile it had always been. And how much stronger they were than they had ever known.
Who were these people? They were leftovers and flyover country. They didn't have bachelor degrees and had never set foot in a Starbucks. They were the white working class. They didn't talk right or think right. They had the wrong ideas, the wrong clothes and the ridiculous idea that they still mattered.
They were wrong about everything. **** immigration? Everyone knew it was here to stay. Black Lives Matter? The new civil rights movement. Manufacturing? As dead as the dodo. Banning Muslims? What kind of bigot even thinks that way? Love wins. Marriage loses. The future belongs to the urban metrosexual and his dot com, not the guy who used to have a good job before it went to China or Mexico.
They couldn't change anything. A thousand politicians and pundits had talked of getting them to adapt to the inevitable future. Instead they got in their pickup trucks and drove out to vote.
And they changed everything.
Barack Hussein Obama boasted that he had changed America. A billion regulations, a million immigrants, a hundred thousand lies and it was no longer your America. It was his.
He was JFK and FDR rolled into one. He told us that his version of history was right and inevitable.
And they voted and left him in the dust. They walked past him and they didn't listen. He had come to campaign to where they still cling to their guns and their bibles. He came to plead for his legacy.
And America said, "No."
Fifty million Americans repudiated him. They repudiated the Obamas and the Clintons. They ignored the celebrities. They paid no attention to the media. They voted because they believed in the impossible. And their dedication made the impossible happen.
Americans were told that walls couldn't be built and factories couldn't be opened. That treaties couldn't be unsigned and wars couldn't be won. It was impossible to ban Muslim terrorists from coming to America or to deport the **** aliens turning towns and cities into gangland territories.
It was all impossible. And fifty million Americans did the impossible. They turned the world upside down.
It's midnight in America. CNN is weeping. MSNBC is wailing. ABC calls it a tantrum. NBC damns it. It wasn't supposed to happen. The same machine that crushed the American people for two straight terms, the mass of government, corporations and non-profits that ran the country, was set to win.
Instead the people stood in front of the machine. They blocked it with their bodies. They went to vote even though the polls told them it was useless. They mailed in their absentee ballots even while Hillary Clinton was planning her fireworks victory celebration. They looked at the empty factories and barren farms. They drove through the early cold. They waited in line. They came home to their **** to tell them that they had done their best for their future. They bet on America. And they won.
They won improbably. And they won amazingly.
They were tired of ObamaCare. They were tired of unemployment. They were tired of being lied to. They were tired of watching their sons come back in coffins to protect some Muslim country. They were tired of being called racists and homophobes. They were tired of seeing their America disappear.
And they stood up and fought back. This was their last hope. Their last chance to be heard.
The media had the election wrong all along. This wasn't about personalities. It was about the impersonal. It was about fifty million people whose names no one except a server will ever know fighting back. It was about the homeless woman guarding Trump's star. It was about the lost Democrats searching for someone to represent them in Ohio and Pennsylvania. It was about the union men who nodded along when the organizers told them how to vote, but who refused to sell out their futures.
No one will ever interview all those men and women. We will never see all their faces. But they are us and we are them. They came to the aid of a nation in peril. They did what real Americans have always done. They did the impossible.
America is a nation of impossibilities. We exist because our forefathers did not take no for an answer. Not from kings or tyrants. Not from the elites who told them that it couldn't be done.
The day when we stop being able to pull off the impossible is the day that America will cease to exist.
Today is not that day. Today fifty million Americans did the impossible.
Midnight has passed. A new day has come. And everything is about to change.
This question is asked with much sincerity, is there anyone able to list anything redeeming about Hilary that made her better candidate/person or more qualified?
One candidate acknowledges scientific facts, the other one thinks that he can tell a unified scientific community that climate change is a hoax.
One candidate wants to help people fleeing from war, the other one thinks they're all terrorists.
One candidate fights for women rights, the other thinks that he has all the right to do what he wants with women.
One candidate uses her foundation to supply hundreds of thousands with aids medicine, the other one lets the money go to portraits of himself and fixing fountains.
One candidate believes in keeping treaties with allies, the other thinks that being best buds with Putin is what's most important.
One candidate believes that everyone should have the chance to attend college, the other sets up a scam university to prey on people that wants to learn.
I don't know in what kind of reality they're both equally bad. The opinion that Hillary being somewhat dishonest makes up for all the disgusting traits of your new president is just baffling to me.
Clinton was a bad choice because, in spite of all the good she has done and the good she COULD have done as President, the baggage she carries with her (her husband's reputation included)was something that many Americans aren't able to overlook (unfortunately). Sadly, because many of my fellow Americans are narrow-minded and lack the gift of forward-thinking, she was unable to get them to see that the good far outweighed the bad. Thus, she was not the best choice as a candidate.
Trump, on the other hand, is a horrible human being--a con-man and a narcissist--who has never done anything to actually benefit another person except himself. He has the temperament of a ch1ld, and the language and reasoning skills of a retarded monkey. He is a bad choice because he represents everything that is loathsome in the human race.
1 candidate has started company's and provided jobs for 1000's over the years.
1 candidate has a list of folks that have fallen dead over the years for disagreeing with her.
1 candidate has only had a few people come up saying he didn't pay or whatever, and if you research it, he had good reason not.
1 candidate is a multi billionaire that started with 8 million.
1 candidate is a lawyer that was fired from her first job because of telling lies.Imagine a lawyer so damn dishonest other lawyers fired her? Damn.
1 candidate enjoyed being a young wealthy male that had women flocking all over him and hoping to get grabbed by the Trump.Just a few decided to stab him in the back by whining about it when they thought it would benefit them.
1 candidate harassed her husbands sexual assault victims after he screwed them and squirted all over them. Made them out to be the crooks and stayed with her lying ,cheating husband hoping to use that connection to become president.IF she was any kind of a woman she would cut his dick off and divorced him.But no, she enjoyed the power.
1 candidate thinks if you want to go to college your family should pay for it or you should get a damn job and pay for it. Not expect the whole country to pay for you to get a useless degree to keep you from having to work a few more years.
1. candidate wants the taxpayer to send everyone to college. Taking away that advantage that some folks are willing to work for so that they can work to better the world. Not everyone is cut out for college and should not be in there getting C's and D's and useless degrees. Drive a truck, build house's. WORK For a damn living.
And there are scholarships for folks that are smart to a degree that would make investing in their futures a worthwhile investment.
1 can't even keep her emails secure and watched Americans die on video and would not send help.
1 has enough sense to know being friends with the 1 other super power, Russia, can make a powerful partnership that can conquer terrorism instead of playing paddy cake. I mean really, which of the 2 country's took the first steps to Bomb the hell out of the country's causing trouble? DUH?
I could go on. But being the jackass whisperer is not the most fun job. It is discouraging sometimes just how narrow mined some people are. I watched on tv this morning as Dependocrats threw paper boxes into the streets and broke windows whining about Trump. How the hell is that **** solving anyone's problems? How can you expect anyone to give credence to what you say when you are tearing up shit costing the taxpayers 1000's? Behave and take your disgust to the voting booth next election.
We conservatives had plenty of reason to whine and riot when Hussein got his second term. But we waited and took care of the problem using the system as designed.We voted the dumbass sombitches OUT.
Here is what some folks just can't absorb. NO single person can fix this country. It takes alot of effort,and alot of people to do it. Instead of rioting,tearing up shit and whining, why not take steps to fix things?
Was it not Kennedy that said, "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country?"
Pickup the trash, clean up your 'hoods, make a POSITIVE difference that folks can see. Then when you speak, credence can be given to your words and people will stop and listen and common ground can be found.
The Clinton being fired story is just right wing bogus : only registered users can see external links
As someone that lives in a country that has free education and free healthcare, I can tell you that it is a pretty nice thing to have. I think it's great if peoples opportunities in life are not determined by the wealth of their parents. I thought you were suppossed to be the country of opportunity for everyone?
The emails thing has always felt pretty overblown to me. Wouldn't you expect it to be her IT-departments task to make sure that everything is secure? It's a bit much to expect a 70 year old woman to take all the right decisions when it comes to IT-security.
I really don't think it makes you look good if you applaud Russias war crimes in Syria. Bombing schools and hospitals will never be a good way of stopping the spread of fanatics. Some form of empathy for the normal people living in those countries has to be present, otherwise you'll just create hordes of new potential recruits for the terrorist sects. There's a reason ISIS celebrated when Trump got elected.
I totally agree that no single person can fix a country, hopefully that also means that a single person can't wreck a country. I'll hold my thumbs.
*Edit: Haha you keep adding points, I won't be able to keep up :p. Suggesting that she had people murdered for disagreeing with her is a bit out there though, don't you think? Do you also think that she is a sulfur smelling demon like Alex Jones said?
Also could it not be considered a bit much to expect a 70 year old woman or man as in Trump, to make all the right decisions as president? Not much of a excuse there. Using age is just another form of discrimination.
And damn I wish people would shut the fuck up about it being against a woman by voting Republican. Does anyone not remember a woman was on the vice ticket a election or 2 back? DUH?
Put a woman up there with some integrity and brains instead of a witch riding her husbands coat tails and you might see a different turn out.
Is integrity and brains something you'd say Trump has? From watching his rallies and debate performance it seemed like he could barely string a coherent sentence together when he wasn't reading off a teleprompter.
Do you think a woman acting like him would have any chance whatsoever of even getting nominated? I'd like to have seen the reaction if Clinton spent her days calling people names on twitter or attacking people for their looks or disabilities. She would have been labeled as completely insane if it came out that she had sexually assaulted 10+ men.
All bs aside, The terrorist and their religion do not respect women, most definitely not women in leadership roles. So hillary would have been ridiculed worse than obama ever has been by the terrorist. I watched on tv a woman being interviewed that controlled a drone over in the middle east. The target was on camera screwing his goat and screwing 1 of his wives. Does that sound like the type people that would respect a woman president if she says something? No.
No war is without injury to innocents. Besides, the terrorist hide within the schools and hospitals thinking they are safe.
Russia is proving them wrong although it is costing them some positive public relations. At least they didn't sit back on their hands crying. They are doing SOMETHING.
I missed most of a 60 minute episode tonight but caught the last few minutes. The liberal host ask the question how would he destroy ISIS, he said, "I am not telling you,I am not telling anyone" He tried to explain and was interrupted that Obama telling the middle east every step he has taken months ahead has caused all the efforts over there to be compromised.
That is the smart thinking we need. Keep military secrets ****.
I will be honest with you, If Trumps son, Don, had run for president, i think he would be a better guy for the job.
