Kid Voted for Trump in School / His Mom Throws Kid Out of House for voting Trump (Video) http://mu-warrior.blogspot.com/2016/11/kid-voted-for-trump-in-school-mom.html
I could see why they'd object to the Bannon appointment, but at this point it's starting to sound like every appointee is supposed to be a horrible racist -- a sitting Congressman, a sitting Senator who desegregated Alabama schools as a US Attorney, a former Lieutenant General who is a lifelong Democrat and former Obama appointee....
Those idiots in the Clinton Campaign broke the social compact by encouraging and paying for violence against Americans voters. Then, they got whanged by Democratic voters, because the race was between two Democrats.
They deserved it, they asked for it, and I am glad they got it.
Now state Electors are getting it. They are just not attacking Republicans, but the Constitutional Republic. It looks like there is a all out campaign to punish electors for there role in the electoral process. i'm wondering how much the FBI is involved at this point with all of this.

Here is what is reported in the Electors own words
From Georgia
......Our office has received numerous reports of individuals hurling insults and threats at Georgia’s Electors because they are unsettled with America’s choice for President of the United States. This is absolutely unacceptable and those participating in or encouraging these efforts should stop. The electoral process in America has worked, and everyone – Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and others – should respect the will of Georgia’s voters and the Electors who represent them........
From Idaho
.......A lot of ’em use bad, rough language,” said Layne Bangerter, one of the four electors. “Nothing I feel intimidated over. But we’re watching it very closely. They’ve got our home phone numbers, our cell numbers, our emails, our Facebook. We’re just getting an orchestrated barrage from the left.”… Bangerter, who worked for U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo for more than a decade, said he’s received around 40 messages on Facebook alone. “They attack my religion, they attack my politics, they tell me that I must be a terrible father, I must be a terrible American, they use foul language – every swear word,” he said. “They’re just trying to steal this thing. They won’t be able to do it, but they’re trying........
From Tennessee
......Several members of Tennessee’s Electoral College delegation told The Tennessean this week they’ve received as many as 200 emails per day and a handful of phone calls. Electors in other states told the Tennessean they too have received similar barrages of email. “Certainly I would call it harassment,” said Pat Allen of Clarksville, Tennessee’s Electoral College representative for the 7th Congressional District......
From Arizona
.....Robert Graham, chairman of the state Republican Party and an elector, said the emails are mostly coming from out of state and appear to be part of a coordinated effort to try to deny Trump the presidency by swaying enough electors to back anyone but him… “It is total harassment,” said Graham, who estimates he has received about 1,700 such emails and letters. “It started about a week ago. Now? Bam. It’s hardcore.”… Sharon Geise, an elector from Mesa, said the emails have also flooded her inbox. She estimates she has received 8,000. Many of them are similar. “Hillary’s got a great campaign going,” she said. “It’s the same thing, pretty much. Basically: Vote for Hillary Clinton. It’s bizarre. I don’t dare answer my phone......
From Michigan:
.....You have people saying ‘you’re a hateful bigot, I hope you die,’ ” he said. “I’ve had people talk about shoving a gun in my mouth and blowing my brains out. And I’ve received dozens and dozens of those emails. Even the non-threatening-my-life emails are very aggressive.” The Detroit News verified one message containing a death wish and another containing a death threat, in which the person told Banerian he would “put a bullet” in his mouth. Banerian said he deleted the rest of the emails and messages “because as you can imagine they’re clogging up my email......
I'm old enough to remember that we -- myself included -- hoped that John Roberts' flubbing Obama's oath meant that he wasn't really the President.
They're grasping at forlorn hopes. Pity their pain. Their whole conceptual world is crumbling at their feet, and there is nothing they can do to stop it.
That it might ultimately be good for them is not something any of them can yet imagine. I'm not asking you to give way. Just look on them with a merciful heart.
I'm not asking you to give way. Just look on them with a merciful heart.
I'll return mercy for mercy. I don't agree that these...people...don't know, don't understand, what they're doing. It's of a piece with what they've been doing all along, especially over the last eight years.
I wonder if perhaps we're concerned about different things. It may be that you're concerned about what they'll do, and I'm concerned about what I'll do.
I hear you, and I am trying to remember how trapped and bitter I felt. When I can't help gloating, I do try to keep it mostly among friends who share my views, rather than make friends and family feel I'm enjoying their discomfort. Even if I sometimes am, because vengeful feelings are still pouring through me.
And of course my gloating is circumscribed by uneasiness. I'm so glad to see Clinton and the media, etc., get a well-deserved come-uppance, but I'm far from sanguine about what kind of president Trump will make. I did vote for the man, however unwillingly, and what he does will reflect on me.
I hope the electors will be steeled against this onslaught, secure in the knowledge that the behavior of the protestors only reaffirms the correctness of their choice.
I'm so glad to know that peace and prosperity have been restored now that people don't need to worry about the Left or Hussein O any more, when elections are over.
If it was a war, people would be a lot more worried and stuck in a trench somewhere.

ReplyDeleteAt some point, it becomes hard to take seriously.
Trust me, it is at that point....
