Yeah they are stirring up the everyone gets a trophy crowd. Al Gore tried that "but, I won the popular vote." BS and it damaged Bush for a little while. These protesters will go home once someone stops paying their bills. I think we need to go into the universities and give the "professors" a lesson on the Constitutional Republic government model so they can pull their head out of their asses.

I heard they get $1500 and an iPhone to show up to these protests (per person!)... and a bonus for fist fights. That's a pretty expensive protest. I say keep 'em going until Soros runs out of money... or it gets really cold and they stop showing up because who really wants to stand outside and holler when it's -10 degrees? They're the modern day mercenaries.

Would you guys hate me if I participated? 1500 can buy a lot of ammo and I'm always willing to punch a liberal.

Funny that social justice is a big issue in one of the most just nations in the world. I'd have respect for them if they went to China or Saudi Arabia and started pulling that crap. Oh but wait.... there's no blowback from protesting in the United States because of our Constitution.... and in those other countries they'd jail you... or maybe kill you. Yeah, it's safer to burn the flag, and not stand for the national anthem, and spit on the constitution from the warm safety of the good ole' U.S. of A.

Assholes.

Oh... and on that front: HAPPY VETERANS DAY to all of our NYGF vets. You guys are awesome:salute:

This is fabulous now everyone can understand how brilliant our founding fathers were. They were so far ahead in their thinking that it is hard to comprehend. The paid agitators that are trying to destroy the results of a Democratic election are in reality trying to overthrow the Constitution.

Dr Evil, that is an excellent educational video. It's been shown over and over again why simple direct majority voting does not make for a fair election system. The illusion of democracy is difficult to shake from the minds of people in this country.

Both sides were campaigning for electoral college votes. And Trump won.

If both sides campaigned for the popular vote, the each would have done things differently. I'm confident Trump would have won that game too. There are just too many democrats who couldn't bring themselves to vote for a crook.

Doesn't work that way.

If the electoral collage was removed, it's not 1:1.

How many people do you know didn't vote because "this state always goes blue anyway?" I know a few. Remove that and the turnout would have been MUCH greater. And Trump would STILL be president.

Cuomo may be gone but his Gun Squad remains.

Well I could use the $1500 to buy a new Shotie or maybe a M1a1

The bullshit that is a "democracy" is more MSM and education system rubbish - they helped establish, in the minds of the weak minded, that this is what the US was all along.

The popular vote is for when you run for class president in 8th grade on the platform of turning the teacher's lounge into a student game room.

The founders were skeptical of pure democracy and designed systems like the electoral college, checks & balances, a free press, and the Second Admendment. Legislation deliberately moves slow and gets compromised so nothing changes too fast. And the Supreme Court operates under the principal of not changing existing precedents and cultural norms.

Or at least that was the intent. It all started to fall apart once non-paying citizens got voting rights (1820s). They never thought no-account freeloaders would have the same vote as tax paying job-creating volunteering contributing good citizens. Thanks to our abundant resources and creative capitalism it took almost 200 years for the lazy stupid masses to vote our country into bankruptcy.

Hillary would have been the last straw, gutting the constitution and forcing single party rule.

Before the election proper, I saw MSM lame-asses predicting the opposite - Trump wins popular and Hitlery takes Electoral College - why it bothers them when the shoe is on the other foot just highlights their hypocrisy.

The popular vote should never be accounted for other than for the primaries.. Our fore fathers figured out that using the electoral college vote as a means to elect a president gave all states a fair playing field and forced the candidates to pursue each state in the same way. An ingenious way to keep the candidates from ever knowing which state will or could be the deciding factor.
Really no way for any vote to ever be stolen.

Umm if you look at the actual voting numbers she did win the popular vote. But who gives a shit. It is like saying our touchdown was scored from the 1 yard line. True but ours was scored from the opposite teams 1 yard line. So let them get credit for winning the populous vote. That's not where it's at. All about the Electoral College.

For once I agree with Bill O'Reilly.
Protesting is fine, once the fires start and the windows break, its time for the National Guard. Not the police, these monsters do not respect the police and many on both sides would get injured. Big green trucks full of armed military in full gear, now that intimidates the snowflakes.
Make arrests and give these people violent police records that will follow them for the rest of their lives. Rioting, assault, damaging property, that can follow you for life, and these idiots should be charged.

First off screw them..Now that that's out of the way are they really sure dismissing the electoral college would always be in there favor? I think a lot of folks who live in deep blue states and cities who don't bother voting because they are pissing in the wind would reconsider. Rural turnout in NY, PA, CT, MA, ME, MI, IL, CA, OR, WA would probably go up. But alas we are a republic made up of 50 states not a country made up of 50 counties. Each state as there own say mob be damned as it should be. Besides I don't recall mass mobs protesting Bill when he won the White House with under 50% of the popular vote

Trump is just too smart for the DNC. He has surrounded himself with the best minds in business and politics. He pays them well, and demands the best.
