Forever Vigilant!
Looking at today's unwinding horrors we will be facing long into the
future. We watch Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, Iran,
Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Russia, China and Taiwan, North and South Korea,
water pollution, air pollution, global warming, water wars, food wars,
numerous future wars in the making, under Bush's war mongering I had
been long convinced we had not had the defining moment of our time, our
moment of extreme challenge.
9/11 was not the defining moment of our time as we are told,that event
has not occurred yet but that moment is coming and soon and it could
very well be upon us. A lot of people tell me to get over Bush but the
US and the world will never be able to as he upset US and world balance
that will forever affect us all.
We had the hope of Obama for 8 years but thanks to the Republican vow to make everything he tried to do to better the plight of the people fail our economy has improved and health care for all was implemented but Republicans because of their negative input constantly reminded us the the improvement was the slowest in history "their fault" and they plan on eliminating Health care for all.
In steps the nightmare Donald Trump. Many of us were very concerned about Trump as soon as we knew he was going to run for President because he has a penchant for being loud arrogant ignorant and a flagrant liar saying whatever he wants to get his way. Most of what he says is a flat out lie but he does not care doubling down and making the lie even deeper. His childish antics and ignorance is something new to me.
From what I can see the electoral college is only kept to steal an election for the Republican party. The people as a whole know the Democrats have faults but are there to make their lives better.
Back in 2000 I thought the Republicans were done as a Political Party when they picked the Alcoholic worthless liar George Bush to be their leader. I was greatly dismayed with that stupid hanging chad crap and the Supreme court ultimately picking him as the next President of the united States. He was re-elected by the outdated Electoral College over Al Gore who the people had selected. You witnessed as did I Bush's illegal war in Iraq and his destruction of the US.
Now the electoral College has interfered once more over-rode the will of the people and chose Trump to lead the nation to destruction and destroying Obama's legacy along with FDR's and every positive step ever taken ti further the American people.
Trump was not even sworn in yet and not only is Putin being credited with hacking the DNC flooding the air waves with lies about Hillary but he swears he likes the murderer Putin and he has already earned the Ire of China which is not hard to do but I am very concerned with this fool Trump's penchant to act without thinking and failing to engage brain before opening mouth.
Now we also hear his sons are sitting beside him when ever he meets with world leaders. I for on think they are so they can keep an eye on Trump. Plus his daughter Ivanka we hear is going to be the first Lady as Trump's wife does not want to be, and it costs a million dollars a day for their security but I bet it is more like 10 million and they aren't worth a dime.
We as a people, country, and world are in serious trouble as we proceed through the 21st century or so we hope.
* I am very concerned as to what the future has in store for us unless something Drastic happens to upset the cart our politicians have set for Republicans and their mis-leadership of us, the US, and the world.

Electoral College confusion;
Today the College votes for president. Knowing we already voted and Hillary won by almost 3 million votes but Trump was declared the winner by the electoral College I was again confused.
I thought they were representatives or the two political parties but they are not. I noticed Republicans have the edge in number and figured Trump was right the system is rigged.
It seems to be but it is not that simple.
Our forefathers seem to have gotten it right again though I disagreed the last 2 times they held sway. The whole system and why they did it was and still is very confusing so I was lucky enough after some pretty extensive digging to find the following link that I found very informative.
The
Electoral College is a group of people that elects the president and
the vice president of the United States. (The word “college” in this
case simply refers to an organized body of people engaged in a common
task.)
As
voters head to the polls on Tuesday, they will not vote for the
presidential candidates directly, in a popular vote. Instead, they will
vote to elect specific people, known as “electors” to the college. Each
state gets a certain number of electoral votes based on its population.
The
electors are appointed by the political parties in each state, so if
you vote for Donald J. Trump on Tuesday, and Mr. Trump ends up winning
the popular vote in your state, then electors that the Republican Party
has chosen will cast votes for him in their state capitals in December.
I for one am no longer calling for an end to the electoral college. Take a quick read and tell me what you think.
On Election Day, we’re electing the electors who elect the president. And it takes 270 of the 538 electors to win. Got it?
