the rest have been presented t0 us by the p0wers that be and we have been 0nly able t ch00se between 2 0r 3 bad ch0ices.

n0t this time.

We ch0se him, n0t the parties, nt jim n0t guin n0t Kissinger 0r brezhinski....., but We , the Pe0ple.

all the p0wers that be, and their mini0ns sh0uld think carefully bef0re rem0ving him by h00k 0r by cr00k.....

Certainly the choice of the Russian people, and the North Korean people.

But that pesky popular vote loss makes it difficult to argue that he was the choice of the American people.

And certainly not elected by the people; by the electoral college even though he had less popular votes than Ms. Clinton. His election by the electoral college is the way we elect presidnet, but let's not pretend he was elected by the people.

As Big RR mentioned, our Grifter-in-Chief became POTUS only because of the Electoral College.

"The Pe0ple" voted overwhelming for Clinton by nearly 3,000,000 ballots cast.

Thus far today our resident #1 Trump supporter has attacked two politicians (Omar and Sanford) for marital infidelity, and a third (Walsh) for being mentally unhinged...

Maybe he has another one he'd like to accuse of being a Putin stooge...

Clearly wes did not get the irony gene...

Presidential ticket        Party                 Votes          Percentage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trump / Pence          Republican        62,984,828       46.09%
Clinton / Kaine          Democratic       65,853,514       48.18%
Johnson / Weld         Libertarian          4,489,341        3.28%
Stein / Baraka           Green                 1,457,218        1.07%
McMullin / Finn         Independent           731,991        0.54%
Castle / Bradley        Constitution           203,090        0.15%

So the takeaway here is:
1)  MORE PEOPLE VOTED FOR CLINTON AND KAINE than voted for Dum'old Trump and his running mate.
2)  If you add up the votes cast for all five other parties (the Dems and the four major independent parties) it totals up to 72,735,154 people who DID NOT VOTE for the so-called "Chosen One".  Or to put it another way, out of all 135,719,982 people who voted in the 2016 presidential election, 53.91 percent of the voters DIDN'T vote for Trump.

Trump should thank his lucky stars for the fact that his ass is in the Oval Office instead of having been flushed down the oval toilet bowl.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

And what about those Deutsche Bank notes that were cosigned by the Russians on the Big Grifter's behalf?

It's fairly obvious that the only wealth that our "Deal Artist" still has is all tied up by Putin and his stooges.

But Bill, those numbers don't account for the 5 million illegals bussed up from Honduras and flown around the country by the Clintons in Jeffrey Epstein's plane to vote in 20 different states before being trafficked in a Washington DC pizzeria by MS-13 gang members led by John Podesta and James Comey.
