Image This is America now! Trump won 30 states and Hillary only 20. California and my idiotic New York give her the most individual state votes. In New York state, it's only the liberal 4 out of 5 boroughs of NY City that put her over the top here. The rest of the counties went for Trump. If you take out these 2 states, America is overwhelmingly Republican at the ballot box.

um trump won Arizona. And I think Michigan.
Popular vote was only maybe half a million votes. Obama spanked McCain by 10 million votes, then spanked Romney by 5 million, bush beat Kerry by 2 million votes, but trump should have over 300 electoral votes, very decisive. If it weren't Hillary's campaign would be fighting it still.

2004 Bush won 284 electoral college votes
2008 Obama had 365
2012 Obama had 332

Gregg Phillips, spokesman for the VoteFraud.org organization, recently tweeted that after completing an analysis of a database of 180 million voter registrations, “We have verified more than three million votes cast by non-citizens.”

In Obama’s first year in office in 2009, there were 22 Republican governors. Now there will be at least 33, the party’s strongest State House showing since 1922.

Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress when Obama first won the White House. Republicans this year have their biggest House of Representatives majority since 1931, and will return next year with almost as strong a majority. And though 24 of the 34 Senate seats up for election this year were held by Republicans, the party emerged with a majority.

An iPhone made in the US? Apple is considering it, says report. Apple told the Asian firms that manufacture the phone to explore the possibility of relocating production to the States, says an overseas report :!: Thank you President Trump!----------------President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter Thursday night to announce that Ford Motor Co. won’t be moving Lincoln production from Kentucky to Mexico. Bill Ford, the company’s executive chairman, telephoned him with the news that a Lincoln plant would stay in Louisville, Trump said in the tweet claiming credit for the decision :!: Thank you President Trump! He has saved more jobs already than Oh-bama the bum did in 8 years! The stock market is hitting NEW HIGHS daily! Go Trump go! In 2018 24 Democratic Senate seats are up for grabs too with 13 of them in states Trump just won :!: If they can win 8 seats, they will have a 60 seat majority as Democrats stay home in mid-term elections and the Republicans come out to vote! The Democratic party might make Keith Ellison their head as well next week. Good luck with that! :lol: :lol: :lol: The Democratic party is in total meltdown and Pelosi has lost her way with them :!: :cheers:

At Rasmussen Reports, our surveying all along suggested that the U.S. media was creating a false narrative about the 2016 presidential campaign, a narrative reinforced by most other public pollsters. Controversy was the name of the media game, most of it focused on Republican Donald Trump. Many media outlets, most prominently the New York Times, and most pollsters were saying weeks before Election Day that Democrat Hillary Clinton had already won. But the three daily tracking polls – the Los Angeles Times, IBD/TIPP and Rasmussen Reports – consistently showed a much tighter race.

Among the most fevered – and loudest - disciples of this false narrative were the so-called “polling analysts,” such as Nate Silver’s 538. These analysts did no polling themselves but deigned to rank, decipher and explain the polling work of others. Most produced detailed quantitative constructs that supported Inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom. All of them flopped badly.

Federal investigators are conducting interviews in Florida regarding accusations Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ wife, Jane Sanders, defrauded a bank while serving as president of the now-defunct Burlington College.

Allegations Jane Sanders falsified loan documents to expand the campus of Burlington College, which collapsed into bankruptcy in May 2016, swirled more than a year prior.

The Daily Caller News Foundation first broke the news of the allegations against Mrs. Sanders in March 2015. The Department of Justice and the FBI will not confirm the existence of an investigation, but recent interviews conducted by officials from the FBI and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), independently confirmed to TheDCNF, suggest an investigation is ongoing.

Sanders wrote on a 2010 loan application that 83-year-old Corinne Bove Maietta, the daughter of the founders of Bove Restaurants in Burlington, pledged $1 million to Burlington College over five years. Maietta, who has a property in West Palm Beach, says it was not a pledge but an unspecified bequest to be paid to the school upon her death. Maietta’s accountant confirmed to The Daily Caller News Foundation the FBI contacted him seeking an interview with Maietta.

I suspect Hillary's people are behind this investigation of Jane Sanders, but we'll see. And Nate Silver drew flak from the Hillbots for *not* saying that a Clinton victory was inevitable. He was accused of having lost his mind for questioning the narrative.

Last week, longtime Sanders reporter Harry Jaffe reported that Bernie and Jane Sanders had retained attorneys Rich Cassidy and Larry Robbins to represent them in a long-running investigation into the collapse of Burlington College, which Jane Sanders led from 2004 to 2011. The investigation began in January 2016, when attorney and Vermont GOP vice chair Brady Toensing urged the FBI to probe whether Jane Sanders had committed bank fraud to acquire a new campus for the college. :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: on Twitter, Clinton supporters have joined a chorus of conservatives in crowing that Sanders is “under FBI investigation.” :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :nukes:

looks like it was democrat operatives that started the investigation in 2016. It stinks just like the primary .

Yeah, all the Hillbots on my timeline (like Ale) are jumping all over this: "He's hired a defence lawyer, he must be guilty, because that's totally how the legal system works". Funny, they were a lot more forgiving when it was their queen who was under FBI investigation.

From the New York Post:

A secretive Washington firm that commissioned the dubious intelligence dossier on Donald Trump is stonewalling congressional investigators trying to learn more about its connections to the Democratic Party.

The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month threatened to subpoena the firm, Fusion GPS, after it refused to answer questions and provide records to the panel identifying who financed the error-ridden dossier, which was circulated during the election and has sparked much of the Russia scandal now engulfing the White House.

What is the company hiding? Fusion GPS describes itself as a “research and strategic intelligence firm” founded by “three former Wall Street Journal investigative reporters.” But congressional sources says it’s actually an opposition-research group for Democrats, and the founders, who are more political activists than journalists, have a pro-Hillary, anti-Trump agenda.

“These weren’t mercenaries or hired guns,” a congressional source familiar with the dossier probe said. “These guys had a vested personal and ideological interest in smearing Trump and boosting Hillary’s chances of winning the White House.”

Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group.

More, federal records show a key co-founder and partner in the firm was a Hillary Clinton donor and supporter of her presidential campaign :!: :!: :!:

ALE is an unhinged and deranged individual who is totally CLUELESS about what REALLY matters in the USA :!: She needs help, and plenty of it, as do the rest of the Hillary supporters who embarrass themselves on a daily basis. The Republicans here are totally USELESS as well :!: I cannot stand ANY of them as they don't know how to govern as the majority party and are spineless to act as they should :!: :cuss: Trump has exposed their fraudulent stances on everything and he has done his job as he said he would during the campaign, which is a refreshing thing in USA politics :!:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with a church that objected to being denied public money in Missouri, potentially lessening America's separation of church and state by allowing governments more leeway to fund religious entities directly.

The justices, in a 7-2 ruling, found that Missouri unlawfully prevented Trinity Lutheran Church access to a state grant program that helps nonprofit groups buy rubber playground surfaces made from recycled tires.

Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, said that the exclusion of the church "solely because it is a church, is odious to our Constitution."

I know. It's the smart thing to do, Feds look at you definitely have a good lawyer by your side.. especially in a witch hunt.
I don't know mrs sanders did anything wrong besides challenging the Clinton crime machine. The College seems a little dodgy but no dodger than the ones trump and Clinton were involved with.

I'm waiting for the democrats to realize they should have run sanders against trump. They seem stuck on blaming phantom Russian submarines and sexism at the FBI for loosing. Hillary was just a bad candidate, sanders tapped something real then disappointingly sold out in the end to not rock the boat. His supporters were the ones threatened and tricked at the convention. I mean coronation.

CNN says it has accepted the resignations of three employees involved in a retracted story about a supposed investigation into a pre-inaugural meeting between an associate of President Donald Trump and the head of a Russian investment fund.

The story was posted Thursday on CNN's website. It was retracted the next night, and CNN apologized to Anthony Scaramucci, the Trump transition team member named in the story.

CNN said the story didn't meet its editorial standards. A network executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss personnel issues, said Monday that story author Thomas Frank resigned. Also losing their jobs are Eric Lichtblau, an assistant managing editor at the organization's Washington bureau, and Lex Harris, head of the investigations unit. :cuss: ALE probably gets her news from CNN too :!:
