PS He is becoming a really rather extraordinary artist. I think.

I would extend that one more dimension: I see many of them living their bisexuality, with authenticity. The binary, bi-is-a-lie message that we Boomers were long indoctrinated in just doesn't ring true to them. I should disclose that old either/or formula doesn't correspond to my life experiences either. I like everything, and have had hot-sex affairs as well as long-term romances with men and women both. In pretty equal measure, now that I look back and tote it up.

Repost.

You are truly fucked up.

More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history. The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Clinton's 2.1% margin ranks third among defeated candidates, according to statistics from US Elections Atlas. Andrew Jackson won by more than 10% in 1824 but was denied the presidency, which went to John Quincy Adams. In 1876, Samuel Tilden received 3% more votes than Rutherford B. Hayes, who eventually triumphed by one electoral vote. Though the legitimacy of his victory has never come into serious doubt, Trump has repeatedly argued, usually via Twitter, that he would have won the popular vote, too, if that had been his focus. "I would have done even better in the election, if that is possible, if the winner was based on popular vote -- but would campaign differently," he tweeted as recently as Wednesday morning, more than six weeks after the election. In late November, Trump also falsely claimed that "millions" of Clinton voters had cast ballots "illegally." Twitter Ads info and privacy Meanwhile, high-profile Clinton supporters have held up the dissonant results as an argument for fundamentally changing the system. A week after the election, retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat and vocal Clinton backer, introduced a bill to abolish the Electoral College. "This is the only office in the land where you can get more votes and still lose the presidency," Boxer said in a statement. "The Electoral College is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society, and it needs to change immediately." Two days later, New York Congressman Charlie Rangel put forth companion legislation in the House of Representatives. Measuring the electoral margin In the final count, Clinton surpassed President Barack Obama's 2012 total by 389,944 votes, but narrow losses in key battleground states meant Obama won 100 more electoral votes on Election Day. Trump's victories in swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida -- all carried by Obama four years ago -- gave him a comfortable edge in the Electoral College. Still, Trump's claims of a "massive landslide victory" are belied by past statistics, which place his win among the narrowest. If all the electors had voted in accordance with their states' results during meetings on Monday, Trump would have garnered 56.9% -- or 306 -- of the 538 available electoral votes. Two defections lowered his final share to 56.5%. Clinton won 232 electoral votes on November 8, but "faithless electors" also brought down her total. The 2016 electoral votes will be counted on January 6 by a Joint Session of Congress, with Vice President Joe Biden presiding over the largely symbolic meeting. Trump will be inaugurated on January 20 in Washington. https://www.cnn.com/2016/12/21/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-popular-vote-final-count/index.html PAID CONTENT

I absolutely agree that an Executive possessing the patience and subtlety and persistence of either a Roosevelt or an Eisenhower could master the moment. How you can possibly see any of that in Trump is beyond me.

Let me make a ridiculously egocentric observation of where I obtained my own essential (personal, not family-member) personality components... In very not-chronological order (me being born 1959): Dr Smith Julia Child Barnabas Collins, Angelique, Dr Hoffman et al. Kirk (actually Spock & McCoy) ...TV showed me a lot! http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/classic-television-revisited/images/3731350/title/beverly-hillbillies-granny-photo

Exactly how many rubles did BO accept into his campaigns? That language 'high crimes and misdemeanors' was set a very high bar by the Framers deliberately so. Likewise the identification and definition of treason as the only specifically enumerated crime within the text of the Constitution. They ruled out simple 'misgovernance' from being anything impeachable -- explicitly recognizing the acceptability, indeed inevitability, of mere political-opinion differences such as yours with BO that you very legitimately express here. Your diminishment and apparent excusal of DJT's late public conciliatory actions in re: Putin/Russia truly shock me.

COOPERATING (in broad daylight!) with that action by Putin is treasonous absolutely.

I must be a Martian. Across a near-couple of decades now, my 3 dearest friends I originally met by hiring them.

'All jungled up.' My grandma's (born 1902) many-generations-old pronunciation of 'All jumbled up.' Doubtless an authentic Elizabethan voicing of it.

My grandmother's (born 1902) favorite: I'm gone do that, if I live. Meaning: only the Reaper can stop me!

One may refer you back to @MsAnn's astute note above.

I.e., those that @SolaceSoul mentions were not I believe shipped here through the (African-leader-directed! in some predble academic investigations) slave trade. What you name is an entirely different horrible thing. I think.

In case you get quizzed on it.

P.S. Sorry, the correct line is: Myself am Hell.
