Y’all can guess I don’t like Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and her being Sec. of the Interior would have been bad. But holy shit, her being passed over for Donald Trump, Jr.’s hunting buddy is pretty awful. Trump can pick whatever unqualified asshole he wants. On the other, there should probably be a better process. I mean Trump Jr. is supposed to be running the business. Still, there has to be a better selection process.

    Puddy loves those poll failure reminders to the right of the commentary box that Elections Have Consequences on HA DUMMOCRETINS. It is GLORIOUS!

    http://www.marketwatch.com/sto.....2016-11-30

    First, had the election been conducted with rules awarding the presidency to the popular-vote winner, the candidates and many voters quite probably would have acted very differently and the popular vote would not have been the same. Trump and Clinton would have campaigned in the “safe” states. Potential voters in those states would have felt more pressure to turn out and to vote for “the lesser of two evils” and not to waste their votes on third-party candidates. Some additional Clinton voters would probably have shown up, but gains on the Trump side would probably have been larger as more reluctant Republicans would have been pushed to return to the fold, particularly in big blue states like California, New York, and Illinois.

    … …

    Second, Clinton’s 2.3-million-popular-vote plurality over Trump depends on the votes in a single state: California. Clinton has more than a 4-million-vote plurality over Trump there. In the other 49 states plus the District of Columbia, Trump actually has a 1.7-million-popular-vote plurality over Clinton. So California single-handedly turns a Trump plurality into a Clinton plurality.

    What has Puddy been saying? What has the great Dr who lives on Whidbey Island been saying? You see you useless tools, she gets that one state win! The electoral college prevented a single region (in this instance, a single state) from overruling the verdict of the more populous and diverse nation.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Elections Have Consequences! So the continual BULLSHITTIUM spewed by the likes of the senile dumb wabbit, the usual FOOLISH suspects, and the fetid gaseous arschloch are as specious as always.

    FACTS sux!

    Since we know Obummer tried to influence the Israeli elections in 2015, that was A-OK because Netanyahu didn’t like the black man in the oval orifice and you don’t spite a black DUMMMOCRETIN! Yet, Obummer claims to have known about “Russian” hacking since 2009? Really?

    Seems this is another foreign policy failure by Obummer!

    @1 Last I checked, Trump lost by nearly 3 million votes, and “may” become president (if Electors fail to do their job) only because of a vestige of the slavery system.

    Look, stop pretending you fuckers won some sort of mandate. You didn’t. You nominated a serial liar, groper, and racist who has spent his entire life cheating everyone who does business with him, and you got your asses kicked in the popular vote. Even though you had Russia’s help, which you traitors gladly accepted.

    Whatever this loose cannon does in office, you own it. Don’t imagine for a moment that we’re not going to hold you responsible.

    Guess that free expression of millennials isn’t so free after all with repair costs! http://www.northjersey.com/sto...../95058206/

    And it’s not just ear piercing. Many are seeking to reverse the impulsive, perhaps keg-fueled decisions of their not-quite-lost youths. That tongue piercing, that bone through the nose, that conspicuously placed tattoo you got in college may not go over so big now in a job interview, or in the board room. It’s time to conform to the real world.

    And only one state gave her a popular vote plurality, California! Trump won the popular vote in the other 49, including the 19 others she won too!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Republicans might have a point about democracy. When you’re stuck with voters like Puddy and his ilk, a government run by elites starts to look pretty good. Turning management of our country over to people who live in trailer parks isn’t such a hot idea as we’re about to find out.

    @28 You call a twisted ankle a “scary injury”? No, a scary injury is when your foxhole buddy catches a bellyfull of grenade shrapnel and he’s holding his guts in his hands, but you wouldn’t know anything about that. You were just a deckhand.

  31. 31

    @29 “Calling everyone who voted for Trump ‘trailer park trash’ and ‘pig farmers’!”

    I didn’t say that. Coal rollers voted for him, too. So did Confederates and Uncle Toms like you. Just about anyone who lacks a brain, and we have plenty of those.

  33. 33

    There is a phrase: “To the Victor Goes the Spoils.” Trump won he gets to put who he chooses in various political posts. If Clinton won she would get to do the same thing, though with a Republican Senate there is a greater chance it would not consent to some appointment or other. So yes there is a check.

    You wish for a better system. I would suggest there is no such animal. That under any Democratic (or any other system) system the winner gets to choose who they put in posts. Unless you have elections for all the posts. Or you have true Democracy. Do you have the time for true Democracy? Talk about a pain in the ass. At least then New York city would not be whining about not getting reimbursed for Presidential security, they know and accept they are royally screwed. Sucks when the President lives in your city. Though I suppose the NYPD does support moving the UN to Jerusalem.

    @4 Democrats handed Trump a mandate by creating a myth that he could not win. That he had a one percent chance of winning. That Hilliary Clinton had it all wrapped up and just needed to add the bow on top of the present. Trump beat he Queen of Hearts therefore he had a mandate. And he sure as hell going to govern as if he does.

    If Democrats had stayed in the realm of reality they would have automatically given Trump a 1 in three chance of winning as they should give any Republican. Allowing the possibility of him winning allows you later to piddle on him having a mandate. As it is the man has a mandate. And he has a Republican Senate and House. Can he use these advantages better than President Obama did at the beginning of his term. We will see.

    Perhaps seizing opportunities if in fact Mr Trump is a democrat in Republican clothing would be a better strategy than the one Democrats seem to be following. Perhaps after today when reality sinks in that short of death Trump is the next President, reality will kick Democrats in the ass, and end the pity party. And prepare them for a long four years. As their chances in the upcoming congressional election don’t look particularly good, though they will pick up seats in the House, if they don’t then something would be dreadfully wrong, because it doesn’t matter if Trump is a great success or a total lout the Democrats have a lock on picking up some house seats. If Trump is a total lout then maybe they might pick up the House. If you think that then go to Vegas and pick out the 2017 and 2018 National Football Championship winner. Just as likely to happen.

    @3 What the United States of America try to influence an election!! Why no never!! President Obama did not piss off British voters for being a nosy Yank in their Brexit vote. Oh no never!!

  47. 47

    @42 Obama did nothing more than publicly state his opinion. This is a free country, we have free speech here, remember? Not the same thing as former KGB chief Putin hacking the DNC and leaking stolen information to Wikileaks in order to put a con man in the White House who will compromise our national interests to line his own pockets.

  48. 48

    @45 Yeah, by throwing millions of warm bodies at German tanks and machine guns who ended up as cold bodies.

    Also, you have your wars mixed up. The Great War is what Brits called 1914-1918 until the greater war came along. The Great Patriotic War is what the Russkies call 1941-1945.

  49. 49

    @17 What exactly is wrong with pig farmers?

    And some very educated people voter republican, and you know good and well most Prosecutors do, and all cops vote Republican.

    Of course Republican electors are most likely to vote for the Republican who won their state. It will be odd if more Democratic electors are unfaithful. Will that mean that Democrats don’t take loyalty and oath taking seriously, and therefore cannot be trusted?

  50. 50

    @8 Which means Trump won thirty states. A majority of states. Neither got a majority of the vote. Now just getting a majority of states doesn’t mean you win the Presidency, but in this contest it’s winning enough states with enough electoral votes. You can win twelve or thirteen and win enough electoral votes, only Clinton could not take Texas. Didn’t keep Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, but she done really good in California well good for her, but no cigar.

    @15 Used to be a big thing for Presidential candidates to come from Log Cabin, has trailer park replaced log cabin?

    Have you seen the Gold Plated trailer that Trump used to live in when he lived in a trailer park in New Jersey? It’s the best.

  56. 56

    @28 Neither candidate got a majority vote, and if you are going to make a big deal over whoever get the most vote it should be a majority, and we would have to have some kind of run off between the two top vote getters. After all Jill Stein got three million votes. Probably that Libertarian guy got that many votes, And some Republican other than Trump got a lot of votes in Utah, actually more votes than Hilliary did.

    @41,

    @47 Only President Obama was in England when he made the statements, which were very artfully done, but stating that the US policy would place Great Britain at the end of the line when renegotiating any trade deals should they leave the Europe Union was more than just an expression of Mr. Obama’s opinion, it was a statement of President Obama’s policy, and that America wanted the Brits to remain in the Union. He should have said nothing on the matter and demurred to the intelligence of British pig farmers.
    What business is it of the United States government that Putin or any other nations intelligence service has hacked into the DNC or any other political party? How is it a national crises? It’s not and President Obama should be telling his own party get your fucking network security straight. Of course this cold be why he had a Secretary of State using her own fucking account for e-mail.
    As far as Putin doing this crap. Assuming it’s true. He has acted in his view in the best of interests of Russia. It’s an age old respected ploy of having ones intelligence service steal something and then release it. Do it well you might start a war between the US and Mexico and keep the US out of WWI. Ohh that was probably the French. Sure Putin is a bad boy, and maybe Trump had his fingers in the game (what that could make him an astute politician who understands the rules of the game), but the hacks didn’t put Trump into office, they are not a big factor.,
    We should though ask the right questions as to the responsibilities here. Do we want our government deep in the networks of our political parties? Do we want the President to be able to see what his political opponents are saying to one another in assumed privacy? There is no Chinese wall you can construct to keep the President from that type of information if the government is running cyber security for itself and the parties and who ever else. As it is (as you have pointed out) any e-mail or other information you put up into the internet is not secure and it certainly not private.
    Perhaps a DNC more willing to be responsible for its own security is the first step here., Like maybe some things should not even be going on the internet. Like maybe some communications should be going on paper and placed in an envelop and mailed through the US mail system. That maybe officials in the DNC need a refresher course on computer security that all users on the DNC network should subscribe to. Realize that if you don’t like having a Jew be in contention for the Parties nomination that fact is going to come out, most likely when it will be most damaging. Someone who doesn’t like you or thinks that is wrong is going to share it with someone, maybe someone with a Russian accent just like in the days before cyber. The Russians have only been doing this kind of stuff for like 1200 years or so, and they learned from the Byzantines.

    Democracy is hard, and messy, and complicated, and those of us who have been at this game for a long time have learned to take the defeats when they come. But those lessons don’t come easily for new voters.
    So I cast my Electoral College vote for Bernie Sanders today to let those new voters who were inspired by him know that some of us did hear them, did listen to them, do respect them and understand their disappointment. I want them to know that not only can they come back to the process, but that they will be welcomed back; that there is room in the Democratic Party for their values.
    To go forward, the Democratic Party needs these young voters.

    So, I was thinking about how the Democrat elite is responding to this year’s humiliating presdidential election loss.

    I mean, it’s bad enough that y’all lost. But to lose it the way you did, which gives the GOP every reason to laugh in your fucking faces rather than just be thankful that #CrookedHillary will NEVER, EVER be president, is just so rich.

    After the 2004 presidential election Moveon.org’s PAC head sent a fairly famous email. Although it’s now 12 years old, I believe its content is worth revisiting in light of Democrat failures this year. Most notably:

    ”For years, the party has been led by elite Washington insiders who are closer to corporate lobbyists than they are to the Democratic base,” said the e-mail from MoveOn PAC’s Eli Pariser. ”But we can’t afford four more years of leadership by a consulting class of professional election losers.”

    http://archive.boston.com/news.....ic_leader/

    Powerful message, really, although if memory serves Moveon.org then went on to support Ned Lamont the following election cycle, which freed Joe Lieberman to support the other party’s ticket in 2008.

    But I digress. Democrats should be cleaning house, not re-electing failed leaders to the most powerful positions in the minority government.

    More than one Stupid Party, I’d say.

    @67 I do know about the White Russians, and the Allied intervention; you realize that 13,000 Americans served in the Russian Civil War, yes? This flick will give you a flavor of how things went for the Whites:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phr6dB7kHlw

    By the way, Trotsky, who organized the Red Army and led it to victory in the Russian Civil War, has a great nephew here in Seattle. He’s a retired Group Health doctor. And Stalin’s granddaughter lives in Portland. It seems even the victorious faction’s kin didn’t want to live in the Russia their relatives created.

    I wouldn’t call the Trump people stupid at all.
    The giant piles of Republican money that he beat with earned media… well, that’s another story. But Trump’s folks are smart as hell, whatever SNL says about them. They did what they needed to do to kick Hillary’s ass when nobody thought they could. And they did it on the cheap. They re-invented the game while every other professional watched with mouths agape.
    Trump’s voters are another matter. The surge of support that made the difference for Trump depends on some pretty amazingly confused and ignorant motherfuckers. Trump’s ability to continue to bamboozle the Sturgis voter is the key to the Republican party’s future. It’s a bit of a high-wire act, but Trump just might pull it off.

    @81 Trucks don’t kill people, people kill people?

    Meanwhile, in Turkey, someone got shot. Are ambassadors anything like archdukes?

  89. 89

    @ 88

    Are ambassadors anything like archdukes?

    Only to the extent that each is expendable. Seems our State Department doesn’t give a shit about some of ours. Or maybe that’s just on certain, er, random dates.

    One thing seems likely: Suddenly Democrats are gonna be all about safety of our officials in foreign lands.

    Illegal immigration is up? I wouldn’t know. The waiter always seems to have some kind of accent I suppose.
    But I live in a coastal city where only a small percentage of American citizens can afford to live, much less any refugees, or whatever. I hear talk about such people. But I’ve never actually seen one. There use to be some people gathered at the entrance to Costco. But I haven’t seen them in the last seven years or so.
    When I need my toilet cleaned I go on TaskRabbit.
    And my Mom splits her time between Scottsdale and Hawaii playing tennis and sailing.

    This business in Turkey and the killing of Russia’s ambassador could get WAAAAY out of control. This is a good time to remove all our forces from the Middle East and just get the hell out of that area for good.

    We cannot solve the problems there. Only the people that live there can do that.

    @92,

    oohhh….such a burn! from a little millennial no less…lol

    enjoy mommies basement while you pay back those student loans….hard to find a job with a Masters in Women’s Studies, isnt it?

    @96,
    as hard as it may be for a “little millennial” like me to face each day I can always take heart in the knowledge that things could be worse:
    I could live in Yakima.

    @98,
    By Jove! I think you’ve got it!

    But careful. We mustn’t overplay our hand here. If toothless ignorant Freedumb Caucus fat-farm Republicans discover how much fun we’re having watching them hurt themselves they just might stop splashing themselves with gasoline.
    Anybody got a light?

  103. 103

    @94 or how closely youare friends with Russia, because me have such nice tits.

  106. 106

    @104,
    Not for very much longer as I understand it.
    But I suppose that’s just another one of those promises, isn’t it?

    Ironic how liberals can laugh at a situation while Conservative continue to lash out, only this time it’s because they can’t except their own dear leader

    “Seems our State Department doesn’t give a shit about some of ours.”

    You might try peddling it where someone might actually buy your bullshit.

    The only time Republicans give a fuck about attacks on foreign embassies is when it happens on a Democrat’s watch. Kind of like deficits and shit like that.

    @88 Yeah, Drumpf isn’t even in office yet, and the killing has already started.

    “As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to be sworn in as the country’s commander-in-chief next month, a majority of Americans say they are either uncertain or pessimistic about his presidency, even as the country is sounding a more optimistic tone about the future of the economy and Trump’s ability to bring positive change to Washington D.C.

    “A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds 54 percent of adults saying that they are either uncertain (25 percent) or pessimistic and worried (29 percent) about how Trump will perform during his presidency, compared with 45 percent with either an optimistic and confident view (22 percent) or a satisfied and hopeful view (23 percent).”

    So, I was wrong, there are four Republicans in this country who have a conscience. I estimated there were one or two.

    @124,

    It’s all racism all the time from QPPS! The Trump win has really demented its head. Continual head explosions from November 9th 2016.

    Can you say

    KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMOOOOOOO?

    KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMOOOOOOO?

    Wait for it… QPPS will say sumtin stoooooooooopid about head explosions. Just wait for it…

    “The real world”. Where “real Americans” produce all our corn, meth, chainsaw carvings, toddler murders, and high performance bog buggies. How would we get along without “the real world”?

  132. 132

    Whoa! A double head explosion @127! Someone must have left a comment that lit the loon’s fuse.

    “Hey, Buckwheat!”

    Index investing is okay for people who don’t know anything about investing, and don’t have the time or inclination to learn, but before you decide it’s the ONLY way to go, read these articles.

    http://www.marketwatch.com/sto.....2015-01-14

    https://www.thestreet.com/story/13502177/1/are-index-funds-and-passive-investing-really-so-great.html

    Now, I’m not dissing index funds. They’re a useful tool in certain circumstances. But you can’t build a house with nothing but a hammer.

    Laughing at a portfolio that returns 9.6% in a year when the S&P 500 gains 12% is a sure sign of a rookie. Evaluating performance based on a single year’s results is a novice mistake.
    Even lousy mutual funds can have a good year, and Wall Street exploits this fact to sell lousy funds to naifs. It’s how such funds stay in business.

    If you think about it for even a minute, you’ll realize that unless your portfolio exactly mirrors the S&P 500 index, it will do one of three things in any given year: (1) Underperform the market, (2) match the market, or (3) overperform the market. Outcome (2) is a random accident that’s about as likely to happen as a flipped coin landing on its edge. Realistically, a typical portfolio will underperform in some years and outperform in others. A single year’s performance tells you little or nothing.

    A certain idiot troll is obsessing over the fact my portfolio is 2.4% behind the S&P 500 this year, to the point where he has adopted a screen name mocking my investment ability. It’s pretty obvious he doesn’t know much about investing, because if he did, he would want to know my results for more than just one year. For example, in 2009 the S&P gained 23.45% while my portfolio returned 73.8%. This might help explain why I don’t put my money in index funds.

    There are certain rules I follow. I didn’t invent them. They were discovered and became public knowledge long before I was born, and they don’t become obsolete. I trust them because they’ve been validated by experience, research, and the endorsements of successful investors.

    1. Market-timing strategies are for fools, because nobody can time markets.

    2. Making money in the stock market isn’t hard, it’s easy. All it requires is compounding ordinary returns. The only thing you have to know is these rules.

    3. Don’t chase “hot” stocks or try to beat the market. That will leave you burned (and burned out). Average returns is all you need. The key is compounding your returns by reinvesting them in more stock.

    4. Treat your investment nest egg as untouchable. Capital gains and dividends must never be thought of as spending money. Without exception, your investment returns must be reinvested, because this is what makes compounding work.

    5. Stay invested all the time. Jumping in and out of the market is a huge mistake. In any given time period, a tiny number of trading days produces most of the gains, and being out of the market for even a few days can cost you most of the period’s returns.

    6. Stocks, over time, consistently produce higher returns than any other asset class. That’s why I’m 100% invested in stocks, 100% of the time. The only realistic way to get a higher return on invested capital is by owning and managing a small business.

    7. Ignoring the financial media and talking heads will improve your investment performance. You don’t have to know much about investing, because there’s not much to know, beyond these rules. The rest is just noise that detracts from your performance. Don’t make a simple thing complicated. Stock investing is simple. Just buy good companies, keep them, and reinvest the dividends. That’s all there is to it.

    8. The biggest problem in investing is getting money to invest. It’s hard to invest if you’re spending every dime that comes your way. If you’ve decided to be an investor, and you’re looking for a way to raise capital to invest, look at your spending. Most people waste a lot of money. Simply stop wasting that money and invest it instead! Think about this adage (I didn’t invent it):

    “The average American works at a job he hates to earn money he doesn’t need to buy things he doesn’t want to impress people he doesn’t like.”

    If that’s you, maybe you should rethink your entire way of living.

    That’s Roger Rabbit’s Money Advice in a nutshell. I’m giving it to you free. If you don’t want it, and would rather take advice from that “Roger Rabbit is an Investment Clown” fellow, that’s your business. I’m not going to bust by furry ass trying to save stupid people from themselves. I tried that with Trump voters, and look how that turned out. I’m not criticizing them; they have a constitutional right to screw themselves. All I’m sayin’ is the Great Mother Rabbit Spirit helps those who help themselves.
