I wonder why the author of that blog publishes under a pseudonym (Steven Goddard) instead of his real name (Tony Heller)? I wonder why Tony Heller feels qualified to run a blog that claims that every single bit of climate data released by NASA, NOAA, etc is fraudulent, when Tony Heller has no relevant academic training and has never published a peer-reviewed climate study of any kind? This is the Tony Heller who has been claiming that the US has been cooling since the 1930s (based on his collection of old newspaper articles). The Tony Heller (AKA Steven Goddard) who is known for a 2008 article in The Register where he posited that Arctic Sea ice is not receding and claimed that data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) showing the opposite was incorrect. Goddard later issued a retraction on his statement. (source) Oh and by the way Tony Heller is also a virulent birther. Conspiracy nut all the way.

I chose to ignore the party affiliation for these positions. I ended up voting for several people who identified as Republicans because I was impressed with their positions on issues, because they are incumbents who seem to be doing a good job, or because their opponents are incumbents doing a crap job.

I'm not sure you know what 'overwhelming' means... He asked about county not country. There are counties in Georgia that voted over 88% for Trump. The vote would have been about the same had the Republicans been running a dead armadillo for office, against George Washington for the Democrats. If the Democrats could dig up Robert E. Lee and put him on the ballot, they might have a chance. Don _____________________________________ Tolerance is the cost we must pay for our adventure in liberty.

My county went pretty strongly (2/3) for Trump. Of course, it is an agricultural county with no cities or even very large towns, it is mostly white, and in my experience the Republicans could nominate a dead opossum to run and it would beat any possible opponent. I suppose life is easier if you don't actually have to bother finding out about what the candidates stand for, and just vote based on the R or D after their name. I wonder why judges, sheriffs, even the county coroner run as Republicans or Democrats? Shouldn't these jobs be non-political?

Bullshit. You've used that phrase here before, so don't blame anyone else for your racial stereotyping. Black people are not a homogenous group. Expecting or demanding a black person to vote, or act in public office, solely for candidates and policies which most benefit other black people is as ridiculous and racist as a lot of the spewings of the Trump campaigns Alt-Right followers. f****** hilarious.

You say that like it's a bad thing.With any luck, you and RushMC will be able to pick up a few bucks going through the hospitals looking for patients with insurance through Obamacare, unplugging them from their chemotherapy, and dumping them out in the parking lot. It's dirty work, but someone will have to do it. In fact, you guys are so gleeful about the end of Obamacare I suspect you'd be happy to do it just for shits and giggles.

And I think we just elected the Riddler. It will be interesting to see how much he can destroy in the next 4 years. I predict: double digit unemployment an even worse trade imbalance than already exists significant increase in the budget deficit US troops fighting in Syria and Iran the border with both Mexico and Canada closed or severely restricted suspension of diplomatic relations with many of our current allies Russia occupying all of the Ukraine, Georgia, and much or all of the Baltic states China in control of the entire South China Sea Also it would not surprise me if we see an effort to impeach him before the 4 years are up, as a result of Trump 1) trying to use the FBI to attack his "enemies" (meaning anyone who disagrees with him), and 2) using the office of President to enrich his businesses.

They're not even waiting for tomorrow! Trumps lawyers have already filed a lawsuit to discount votes from a Reno, Nevada polling station that stayed open late Saturday to allow people who were already in line to vote. It is a state law in Nevada that you have to be allowed to vote if you are in line when the poll closes. Why would Trump want to have these votes thrown out? Here's a clue: "Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald accused workers of keeping the polling place open "so a certain group could vote." He was presumably referring to Latino voters, who came out in droves in the state's early voting..." There's a word that comes to mind that applies to people who seek to disenfranchise a group of voters based on their ethnicity. A word that has been repeatedly applied to Mr Trump and his campaign. A word that Mr Trump appears to be eager to confirm. Don Oops! I see this was already posted while I was typing.

You are confusing American culture with Georgia hill white culture. America is a big place, with a lot of different cultures. That's why your tribe can't get a white man elected POTUS anymore. The only way a white man is ever going to President again is if both parties nominate one. So you best bet is to join and work with the Democrats. Bring back the dixiecrat days. That is what you really are longing for. Here's an interesting timeline of US immigration law. It would seem Ron and his compatriots would like to turn the clock back to about 1843: "The American Republican party is formed in New York (it later becomes known as the Native American party) by citizens opposed to the increased number of immigrants in the U.S. The nativists, or members of the Know-Nothing Movement, seek to permit only native-born Americans to run for office and try to raise the residency requirement to 25 years." "members of the Know-Nothing movement..." How delicious! Apparently nothing has changed for some people in over 170 years. It's also interesting how blatantly racist US immigration policy was for most of its history. Don _____________________________________ Tolerance is the cost we must pay for our adventure in liberty.

OK, so what was your point in linking an article about self-driving trucks and how many truck driver jobs that would eliminate? Did you have a point?

You claim Trump would create jobs, and then you link to an article about how technology is making many jobs obsolete. What exactly is Trump going to do to create these jobs? Bar industry from replacing human workers with machines, even when machines are more cost effective? Perhaps he will require banks to get rid of ATMs and replace them with actual tellers, like it was back in the "old days"? Demand that we all go back to burning coal to run furnaces in the winter, even though natural gas is cheaper (and cleaner)? I'm surprised you would support such anti-capitalist interventions in the economy. You old socialist, you've just been stringing us along with all this anti-communist blather, haven't you?

Of late seems as if most of the jihadists were born in the US, or perhaps arrived here as very young children. Unfortunately it seems a big problem is jihadist memes, often efficiently transmitted via the internet. What to do about that? One response, unlikely to be popular, would be to censor the internet to keep such messages out. A better one might be to ask why some people become infected while others are resistant. I'd suggest that the Trump strategy of making people feel threatened and alienated from US culture because of their religion is likely to have the opposite effect to what is intended. It seems to me that people who feel accepted and welcome are less likely to succumb to the jihadist virus.

Strive to respect everyone's right to decide what is best for themselves, as long as "what is best" does not cause harm to others. Strive in your own life to avoid causing harm to others, and instead try to be helpful where you can. Really, it comes down to "do unto others as you would have done unto you". Trump's private conversational remarks would have been merely crude if they has been limited to observations/judgments that so-and-so is "hot" or unattractive or whatever. That would still be limiting women's value to a single measure, their utility as a sperm receptacle. Trump went beyond that, to claim he has the right to do as he wishes with any woman's body just because he is rich/famous. The woman herself has no say in the matter.

I don't think his massive ego will allow him to concede defeat. I have some concern he will claim the election was rigged and call for a "second amendment" response from his supporters.
