[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Republican elector Chris Suprun, 42, was not a first responder during 9/11 attacks as he has previously claimed
Suprun, a Dallas, Texas, resident, portrayed himself as a heroic firefighter in an editorial this month for The New York Times about not voting for Trump
The 42-year-old claimed to be a first responder with the Manassas Park, Virginia, fire department
The Manassas Park Fire Department didn't respond to September 2001 attacks
And what's worse - Suprun wasn't hired by the department until October 2001
Suprun is the sole Republican to publicly announce his ballot would not be cast for the president-elect
DailyMail.com has asked the New York Times if they fact-checked his claims - the paper says it 'fact checks' all op-ed articles

Tell of desperate appeals from 'idiots' to oppose president-elect on Monday
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The Associated Press has interviewed more than 330 of the electoral college's 538 voters
They will cast their vote on Monday with desperate pleas for them to back Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, despite the outcome of the election
Its reporters found just one Republican who will not vote for Donald Trump in defiance of the mandate given to him by his state
College members told how they have come under massive pressure to go rogue - with one telling of hand-written six page letters quoting the Constitution
'Hell will freeze and we will be skating on the lava before I change,' one said. 'He won the state and I've pledged and gave my word that that's what I would do.'

Say, just for conjecture, that several Electors cave in and change for Hillary. THEN Trump has to concede "defeat" and all the Lefty weepers cheer and assume we will give it all back.
yeah?
What you will get from that is that there will be a guns out Civil War. And the Military won't be able to handle.
The Electors are not stupid people. There is nothing they can be threatened with that amounts to zip from the Left. ANY Elector who denies his vote won't live out the year. The stupid don't live to be old.
INSTANT full name and address notoriety And then what does the stupid one have as a shield?
He just pulled the pin and ate the grenade is all he did.

This was always a ridiculous effort. Electors are life-long party loyalists. Imagine the most hardcore Republican faithful true-believer you can, then multiply by 1,000. That's an elector. These people would rather sell their own children to Mongolia to make dog food than elect Hillary Clinton.

We live in the age of Rachel Dolezal. Even people caught in the most ridiculous lie savor their 15 minutes of infamy. Whether there will be more - or less - of that type of behavior in the future will be up to all the rest of us...

I really hope the electors get together and publish a book filled with the threats and such they were sent. Really display to the nation the madness out there.
[POLITICO] Republicans should realize they have a problem, President Barack Obama said over and over on Friday, when they’re agreeing with the Kremlin so much.
Isn't that what you Democrats have wanted for the past 70 years?
That they don’t, shows him just how broken American politics has become, and how vulnerable the country has become after Republicans spent years demonizing him and fellow Democrats and gumming up the government.
It’s not only a vulnerability to foreign powers, according to Obama. There’s now a real risk of America abandoning the ideals and values that have bound the country together for 240 years.
Everyone should be scared about what that means and where it leads, he said. I simply have to wonder if this POS is ever going to go away.

There are certain similarities: Russians kicked out communists, Americans voted to get rid of you & your crowd.

O lives for this. In office or out. Give him a stage and he will perform. That is what keeps so many political clowns in media. An unwanted child locked in a private room who escapes now and then. He could easily play the part of Joker with such a fiendish grin he has.

Obama's a real dickhead. Past presidents have always faded into the background to give their successors maximum room for maneuver. Obama just has to be different.
#8
Well charger you can't say he doesn't set difficult standards for himself.
Worst president....check
Worst ex-president.....we'll see. His best chance at NOT winning this award is to become an inveterate golfer, always trying to shave another stroke off the Hdcp. If he works real hard on that, Jimmuh may hold the title for a while yet.

In keeping with #5, PE DJT will, imo, seriously upset and investigate the apple cart (boodle wagon?).
The 'crats are being backed into a corner and are fighting like it.
The selection of Flag Officers with their far-reaching MILINT contacts + FBI are scaring the $hit out of BHO, HRC and company. They have everything to lose and are, therefore, extremely dangerous.

So since he has already had $800,000,000 worth of vacations, after this statement he left on another to try and make it an even billion $ on vacations - Fricking piker.
Politico - for all your unbiased journalism needs: President Barack Obama’s administration achieved the platform he ran for president on: hope, according to first lady Michelle Obama, who implied that many Americans no longer have that hope as President-elect Donald Trump transitions into the White House. Real 'hope' is never seeing or hearing from you or your Kenyan master ever again.
“We feel the difference now. See, now, we’re feeling what not having hope feels like, you know,” the first lady told Oprah Winfrey in an interview excerpt broadcast Friday on “CBS This Morning.”
The poor darling.
Trump savaged his rivals with disparaging nicknames and ran a campaign more focused on his celebrity than his policies. He railed against Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, vowing to “make America great again,” but alienated segments of the population with pledges to temporarily ban Muslims, build a border wall and deport millions of undocumented immigrants.
Obama ran his campaign more traditionally, running on a platform of hope and progress with the slogan “Yes we can.” Perhaps the quintessential emblem of that campaign is his “Hope” poster, which was designed in a day by Shepard Fairey, who told Esquire in 2015 that Obama failed to live up to his expectations.
“Hope is necessary. It’s a necessary concept,” the first lady said. “And Barack didn’t just talk about hope because he thought it was just a nice slogan to get votes. I mean, he and I and so many believe that if you — what else do you have if you don’t have hope? What do you give your kids if you can’t give them hope?”
Michelle Obama tore into Trump on the stump campaigning for Clinton, emerging as the most potent surrogate for the Democratic nominee and sparking calls for her to run for office — although President Obama has insisted that his wife won’t run for office.
She appeared to do the same in her interview with Winfrey, suggesting the nation will no longer have a grownup in the Oval Office once the current first family leaves but never mentioning the nation's 45th president by name.
“Our children respond to crises the way they see us respond. You know, it’s like the toddler that bumps his head on the table, and they look up at you to figure out whether it hurts, and if you’re like,” she began, gasping for effect, “‘Oh, my God,’ they’re crying.”
The president, the first lady continued, has been someone who would respond by saying: “You know what? Babe, it’s OK, it’s OK.”
“I feel that way about the nation. I feel that Barack has been that for the nation in ways that people will come to appreciate,” she said. “Having a grownup in the White House who can say to you in times of crisis and turmoil: ‘Hey, it’s gonna be OK. Let’s remember the good things that we have. Let’s look at the future. Let’s look at all the things that we’re building.’ All of this is important for our kids to stay focused and to feel like their work isn’t in vain, like their lives aren’t in vain. What do we do if we don’t have hope, Oprah?”

Quintessential bookend to "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback."

Now you understand how hundreds of thousands of graduates feel after blowing their time on 'enriching' but worthless college degrees and have to face an indented student loan debt and little prospect in the job market to pay it off.

No - you (Michelle) exploited peoples dreams and you exploited peoples hopes.
What you delivered was anything but. If it wasn't for your fawning media (just look at how this article is written) everyone would know that.
You were the worse racist the White House has seen since Woodrow Wilson. Instead of promoting harmony and unity you pushed, deliberately and with malice, division and hatred.

"Michelle, could we treat you to dinner?"
The ravenous bass hits the spinner:
"Just two tournedos...
Dozen lobsters, to go...
And dessert... send the check to the winner."
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
