I was watching MSNBC and NBC News last night, and I think they were the first to call Ohio for Obama (around 11:12 pm), which meant that they were the first to call the entire election for Obama. In the midst of the minute-by-minute political and statistical analysis, Rachel Maddow kept interrupting the discussion to let viewers know how the GOP and their mouthpieces were reacting. I won’t even get to the Karl Rove stuff (apparently, Rove threw a tantrum ON Fox over Fox News calling Ohio for Obama), but let’s talk about the Donald Trump stuff. Trump was on Twitter as soon as Ohio was called, and it was not pretty. Here’s what his Twitter feed looks like this morning:
The last tweet on his feed reads, “House of Representatives shouldn’t give anything to Obama unless he terminates Obamacare.” But what’s particularly interesting is that Trump has deleted some of his more wingnutty tweets that even legit journalists were mocking last night. He deleted a tweet that read, “More votes equals a loss… revolution!” If that’s the way he really feels… why delete that one and leave the rest? Either you want a revolution because you no longer believe in a democratically elected president (who won the electoral college and the popular vote, btw), or you’re just a dumb blowhard. What’s scary is that Donald Trump was actually a legit political player in GOP politics this past election cycle – he’s not some fringe character ignored by everyone. He did campaign appearances with Mitt Romney.
Other celebrities responded to Trump’s Twitter meltdown. Andy Cohen tweeted, “I’ma run a sedative up to Trump Tower#BRB.” Modern Family creator and producer Steve Levitan tweeted: “Hey Trump, did you see Mitt Romney’s concession speech? That’s what graciousness and good hair looks like.” And Brian Williams apparently went off on Trump live on air saying, “Donald Trump has driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible.”

I wish Trump’s head exploded.
Linus and Charlie Brown, The Great Pumpkin has arrived several days late!
The Great Trumpkin!
Good one! The Great Trumpkin – love it!
No. Absolutely NOT. There is only one Trumpkin, and he lives in Narnia and serves as King Caspian’s advisor. Donald is NOT Trumpkin and never will be.
A shredded wheat head hair doo clown is worried about some other country laughing at us? FOOL,PLEASE!!!
Does he not grasp that the majority of the world is pro-Obama, and that it’s Trump himself who is a worldwide laughingstock?
He seems to have aged overnight.
Like I said he is a loser and a sore one at that! 😀
Also include Ted Nugent and Ann Coulter (extremely racist people).
Don’t forget Victoria Jackson.
LOL – Victoria Jackson kept tweeting about how she was crying and crying, and Andy Richter kept gleefully retweeting it.
Agree. Just throw in Rush Limbaugh & you have a Fab Four of Revolting Creatures Who Foam At The Mouth. They have re-defined “hateful.”
What a jerk! His family must cringe everytime he opens his mouth. Maybe he could be charged with treason for trying to incite a riot against the government. Uggggg, somebody please just make him go away.
My thoughts exactly. You just know some hooligan morons are going to take him up on his call for a revolution and there will be rioting and major damage caused.
I pray it doesn’t happen but if it does then The Mouth known as Trump should be on the hook to pay for any and all damages!
He is SUCH an embarrassing blowhard!
Yeah, isn’t it illegal to incite riots? I’m sure he’ll share a cell with Lindsay Lohan.
If you or I were to make comments like that on Twitter, we’d get a visit from the FBI.
What a fool, so he thinks he’s Spartacus now? I mean, I know that fuzzy mould-looking helmet on him could withstand the blow of even the mightiest gladius (I heard it masks trepanation marks from when he had his brain surgically removed) but who will he make shoulder the blame when his crazed acolytes decide to ‘Take America Back’ (and from what)? And make you look stupid(er)? I’m not even saying that I think this would happen, but why would you even suggest it, goblin?
I’m never going to say a person is obligated to like President Obama, but when you’ve got blisteringly hateful and ignorant dickslaps like this irradiated loaf of month-old bread or his cronies Gin Tits Limbaugh, Glass Jaw Harpy Coulter, Tears Of A Clown Beck, or the Fa-loofah Lothario O’Reilly spewing invective with no apparent desire to prove their expressed love for their nation by doing anything but undermine its dignity with armchair bellyaches based on little and repairing nothing, I’m going to say that their poison is beneath contempt. Yeah, I called them name, I’m not on the air or in their field in some professional capacity. It’s just inciting fear or insulting the intelligence or integrity of pretty much anything that enters into their wake, what is that…scratch that, just leave it ‘what?’
If a person loves a country that much, why demand that millions of people act counter to their own interest and foster biliousness torch waving? You know what would really unite a country, enforcing more divisions! That almost makes too much sense! And now another attention addict wants to co-opt the March On Washington thinking that there is any kind of connection between what King advocated and the kind of crazed fist pounding that would make him spin in the grave until he hit this planet’s core.
At least that ancient uprising came a state of genuine oppression. I suspect that if it ever came time to find bodies to line the Appian Way, our Spartacus would go full Crassus without a thought.
Rioting. And this man wanted to be your president. For fuck’s sake.
damn girl!!! ill vote for you 2016!!!
damn smart!!!!
Brava, Jo Mama! Bravissima!
This post? This post right here?? 100% made of AWESOME! And just so you know, I shall be co-opting the term “dickslap” immediately.
Heh, thanks. I just can’t believe how boldly abusive and unproductive it all is, in public, I mean. They don’t care they shout. Frigging Coulter calls him the r-word (UGGGGHH!!!!!), Akin should get his lips forcibly sewn such and as for Ryan calling that ‘stock language’–WHAT? I don’t really know about his brand of stock, but I know what a gunstock war club is. I should stop there.
Birchbald T. Barlow reports that Chris Christie and the president are ‘gay lovers’ because the former dared to compliment the latter. Okay then, thanks Rush and Fluke you, alright? It’s exhausting. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you are doing to your country.
It makes me miss the yellow ties and less benign tendencies that characterized that unhinged and wacky bid that came from the Epoch Of The Pokémon Pizza Shooter.
I hadn’t seen the tweets, thanks. Love Cohen’s, Levitan’s and Williams’ responses!!
He is such an idiot
Lol Steve Levitan’s tweet was funny.
+1
Does this make him a Loud Mouth Twit, cause he was already a Loud Mouth??
As if Trump would ever be involved in any sort of march with the common folk. Why does anybody pay attention to him? He’s as irrelevant as Paris Hilton.
But he’d bank roll us common folk doing his dirty work for him.
If he wasn’t such a schmuck he’d make a great villain – a-la Lex Luther or Dr. Evil.
Please…he wouldn’t bankroll every day people to do his dirty work. He’d ask for donations to fund the cause and sell them $20 bottles of Trump Water.
Why anyone listens to Trump is beyond me, he’s an idiot.
Steve Levitan tweeted: “Hey Trump, did you see Mitt Romney’s concession speech? That’s what graciousness and good hair looks like.”
LMAO I’m stealing that quote. Lol.
Oh Andy Cohen, Darling, you always know just what to say.
Someone said this in another comment section, I don’t remember their name but I’ll just echo it:
If the response to a key political office is to declare it’s structure a sham, it’s existance only to be used as a tool of vengeance, and it’s loss as worthy of some kind of ‘revolution’ (read: riot with pitchforks included) then one really shouldn’t come anywhere close to the political sphere.
In other words: Shaddap, ya big baby.
Great quote. However it could apply to Fox news, too, and they’re not leaving the political sphere anytime soon.
Fox news is the ONLY news coverage that isn’t biased..and left! Pay attention!
Suzanne, I very much hope that was a joke. If Fox News is unbiased, then that’s Donald Trump’s real hair too. Pay attention to what? Their lie filled, hate spewing message?
@suz I say this as a fiscal conservative, saying Fox news isn’t biased is incredibly naive. Of course they are. They are biased to the right, and they don’t make any secret of that. That’s their target audience.
Now one can debate about the status of the rest of the media, but common now.
Yeah Fox is biased to the Right I see they are blaming Christie and Hurricane Sandy for the lost.The Christian Right cost them the election along with social issues like abortion, gay rights and immigration. Mad Men Republican Party in Modern. Family world
Suzanne…if you believe Fox News is unbiased, you either were born yesterday or are right-wing yourself to the point of dangerous instability. Pay attention!!
Guys, relax, Suzanne’s comment looks like sarcasm to me.
I think she’s entertaining us with a little joke.
**raises hand
I sent a tweet during the middle of his meltdown last night and told him to take his crunchy butt and that swoop to bed.
he erased quite a bit, he was about to go into cardiac arrest, smdh.
I tweeted him that no one was laughing at ‘us’ but that a lot of people were laughing at him.
This bloviating ignoramus needs to have several seats. You mad Donald?? haha
You win the whole internet with your choice in username and this comment. “Bloviating ignoramus” should be on his LinkedIn profile.
Chordy is right, you got me again!
I just can’t with this orange faced, squirrel headed twat.
I think he is just trolling.
Haha, the ol’ self-troll.
You know, when Rachel Maddow first started talking about his tweets last night, I actually said to my roommate, “At this point, Trump HAS to be doing some kind of elaborate performance art.” At least, I HOPE he is!
It’s like a Day-Glo James Franco!
I really wish Trump would affiliate with another party at this point, he’s an embarrassment to mine. No matter if your candidate lost or won, it’s time to stop either gloating or being a sore loser.
Let’s get on with the business of trying to turn our country around. Trump, you are not helping that. Shame on you for being unable to control your public temper tantrum.
And you call yourself a grown-assed man? *major eye roll*
^
^ Exactly!
My sentiments exactly. If you win, or lose, you have to be gracious about it.
agreed
As long as mainstream Republican support him then you will all be judged by association he was invited to the convention and Mitt’s victory party…same with Ann Coulter. The sane Republicans should kick the bigots out of their party.
As for gloating people worked hard and are relieved and believe me i know how you feel the same way I did in 2004.
Oh God….’04 was a god damned nightmare! It was my first election voting because I had just turned 18 and I cried when Bush won 🙁
I don’t know any politically-savvy people on the Dem/Liberal side that thinks Trump is a worthy or accurate representative of the Republican party.
Much like I don’t want the likes of Eva Longoria associated with myself and the Dem party, I think saying that the public sees some dumb celebrity with too much access to social media as representative of an entire political party is untrue and unfair. Short of execution, there’s really nothing that the Right can do to stop Trump’s verbal diarrhea. It’s protected under free speech.
@asputter- I cried like a BABY in ’04. As much as I’m happy that Obama won, I’m sure there are many conservatives that now feel the same as we did in ’04. The difference is that this time around, we didn’t re-elect a war criminal.
Kitten – I know a number of Republicans who are embarrassed as heck over Trump. He’s just ridiculous.
And can someone please explain to me how he got so damned ORANGE? Is he overdosing on carrots?!
I know, Izzy! The fake tan is so atrocious. He should worry about firing his makeup artist and stay out of politics.
My take on Coulter is that she doesn’t really believe half the crap she spews, but she knows that making incendiary remarks will keep her name in the news and help her peddle her horrible books.
OMG, THIS!
Seriously. He makes the fiscal conservatives look bad. As do the rest of the crazies. What really scares me is how many people from the GOP AGREE with Trump. He’s a total blowhard.
I’ve been working to get those loonies out of the party for years and it’s just ridiculous at this point what the christian right has done to the GOP.
Well said.
@OGen – let’s get a bottle of good scotch and sit down to make a list of ALL those we would kick out of our party to reclaim the party’s legitimacy…
Right on. If Lincoln saw fit to employ a multiplicity of voices with whom to work, surely an unemployed manager can muster a little temperance.
Why Brian Williams even mentions Trump’s name during election coverage is beyond me. Ignore ignore ignore. He thrives on attention. Like Snooki, the Kardashian’s and Lohan’s.
I hear you but to tweet is one thing… to call out this dick on NBC by the awesomeness that is Brian Williams is another.
Brian Williams looked so pained when he brought this all up. I think I fell in love with him a little when at the end of the coverage of Trump’s tweets, he just looks over and says, “Well. THAT happened” before continuing.
Why are we giving Trump’s opinions air time on news shows and not just on Comedy Central where they properly belongs?
YES! I enjoyed that SO much. I think he may have even rolled his eyes a little. I heart Brian Williams.
Brain Williams has been my celeb boyfriend ever since he hosted SNL. He is the BOMB.
Brian Williams is the first “celebrity” my oldest child could recognize on site, by the time she was 2.
<—– news junkie over there
I kind of love him too. I think it was when he started popping up on 30 Rock, and they alluded to his dressing room being some sort of insane crazy den. He has a good sense of humor.
Oh Trumpet. Go back to feuding with Rosie O’Donnell and filming a dumb reality show no one cares about. THAT is the true level of your existence these days.
At last validation for poor Rosie…she an take comfort in the fact that no- one will EVER take the Donald seriously again !! I actually speculated that there is a trace of Dementia there,but eventually de died that like a spoilt child he was having a tantrum and throwing the toys out the pram!!! He did make himself look ridiculous though!! The GOP. Needs to drop him( and all the other crazies too) before they take a run at 2016.! Incidentally a few weeks ago Barbara Walters took him to risk after his comments on Obama, even though she said to him that she knew he was a good man??????? Dementia there too?
He loves fake tan more than Xtina. You go boy!
He’s useless. He needs to just go away and live in the woods somewhere.
What is unsettling is the number of people in this country to whom all of this sounded perfectly reasonable.
Seriously. I’m related to too many of them, and I don’t get it. My fb is filled with “This is a godless country! This sky is falling!” posts. I may have to unlike my own relatives.
As for Donald, its amazing how he recognizes how divided we are, yet contributes to the divisiveness.
+1
Someone on my FB feed said something like “‘He Who Shall Not Be Named’ managed to survive.” As if he’s the antichrist.
I heard the word Anti- Christ,the word Muslim and worse the N word over and over on Twitter!!! I am not an American…, I’m a Brit….and it is astounding to me to hear this kind of rhetoric in modern day America! I am also a political nut ( met by husband at young Conservatives way back when, though our Conservatives have no Christian, almost fundamentalist right) and do love the American elections for the fascinating dichotomy of it all! However this election has been an absolute eye opener as to the hard core hate there was for Obama,as a Democrat,as a person but especially as a coloured man!!! It therefore was satisfying to me to see the demographic that voted for him! Young voters,women,Latinos,blacks,gays, every age group..the vote is changing and the old hard liners were rejected,,the Republicans will have to change accordingly and that is a good thing!
It is necessary for people to start thinking hard about their place as Americans …if half of the country can see this and the reasonable and decent people who voted for Mitt work hard at it,then they can begin to outnumber the crazies!
It is also time for the Republican Party to tell Donald that he has to shut up,he does them so much harm! Being laughed out of town is not a position to be proud of!
Yes, I saw one tweet from some youngish girl that said “the N****r wins again…and that’s not even why I don’t like him”. I asked her why she tweeted it if it wasn’t what drives her dislike of the man. She didn’t respond.
Trump is an idiot. Though I agree the electoral college is corruptible and obsolete now that we don’t relying entirely on snail mail… Obama still won the popular vote.
I dearly wish he’d step away from the spray-on tan. His reverse raccoon eyes are not handsome.
He’s this odd combination of orange and pink.
What Trump needs to worry about the next strong wind knocking that rug made from dog groomer clippings and Milinia’s pubic hair off his head. And marching on public streets? Well he already looks like he’s been dragged all over NYC streets behind a public bus, so does that count?
*Dies from unstoppable laughter*
@Emme:You just made my day!!Thks!!!:)
Omg, that was great!! I have tears!
…and the award for best comment ever goes to…EMME!!!! *insert applause*
OMG! that comment is hilarious!
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Trump all need to seek immediate psychiatric treatment due to the re-election of President Obama. Get ready for some epic meltdowns!!
i don’t understand his success, b/c he seems like an effing moron to me. he’ll say anything to get attention. i guess his wife is earning her lifestyle, putting up with him. i’d rather be poor than live with that ignorant b*stard.
He’s such a disrespectful bigot.
Of course Trump is a tool but could you define where he was a bigot? Lefty’s are really throwing the race card a lot these days.
what other president has trump asked for a birth certificate from? and raised an uproar even after it was released?
Rightys are so dense. Asking for Obama’s birth certificate is deep rooted in racism. If he were white, his birth place would not be such a big fucking deal. If his name was Henry Thomas Moore and not Barack Hussein Obama, his birthplace would not be such a big fucking deal. He already released his birth certificate. You think they’d let him be senator let alone the most powerful man in the world without him showing a legit birth certificate? Birth certificate conspiracists like Trump are racist bigots. Fact.
Emma, in 2008, John McCain had to publicly release his birth certificate to prove he was eligible (he was born on a military base in Panama, but there were rumors he was born in a Panamanian hospital).
Just sayin’
Oh man, what a delusional comment. Are you honestly trying to defend Trump on this? Really? This is the battle you want to pick??? The one where you claim Trump ISN’T a racist asshole?
LOL really Sam?????? And do you see public democratic figures saying it was a fake birth certificate and calling John a secret terrorist?? No, you do not. There are many public republican figures who refuse to believe Obama was born in the U.S. and call his certificate fake. You wanna know why? Because they are RACIST. It’s really not that hard to grasp.
Did he ask any other president or candidate to release his college application and transcript?
Emma, I was responding to your assertion that no white politician has ever been made to produce his birth certificate. You’re factually wrong. Wipe the egg off your face and move on, honey.
sam, perhaps YOU should wipe the egg off of your own face.
no where did emma say that no white pol has been made to show his birth cert, just that if he were white, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.
which has been proven by your comment. Yes, McCain had to show his birth cert. to run, but did people make as big a deal over where he was born vs. how big a deal was made over where Obama was born? AFTER each cert was released?
Not even close.
As much as moderate republicans like to believe it wasn’t, it was ABSOLUTELY racism at work.
@Sam
McCain had to produce his birth certificate because he was born OUTSIDE of the U.S. and had to prove that the location of his birth was considered U.S. soil (a military base). Obama was born IN the U.S. No other president born in the U.S. has been shamed into getting on national T.V. and releasing his birth certificate to the country. It’s all under this racist guise that Obama is foreign and “not one of us”. So he has to prove over and over again his American-ness. It’s all about his race.
Where were the birthers asking for McCain to prove his citizenship before he showed his birth certicate?
The difference between the president and McCain is that the president was born in America. McCain was born in Panama because his father was stationed there on a base considered to be US soil. Children in that position are repatriated when they land on actual American soil. Why was that so easy to prove when we’re still seeing garbage about how the president’s certificate was faked using Adobe? I mean, what in fresh hell?
And what about George Romney? He ran for president in 1968, I believe, and boyfriend was born in Mexico. Nixon didn’t care and no one else seems to have cared either, so yes, I do believe racism is at work in this case and his detractors aren’t doing a good job of keeping the lie alive with any credibility–credibility is the thing you lose when what’s good for the goose isn’t good for the gander. By the logic of the birthers, there’s no better way to prove your American birthplace than to be born outside of America, but woe and tortures of the damned to presidential candidates who were born in the States.
That gosh darned Brian Williams. I love him more every time he speaks.
I think the nation stands united over the fact that he needs to STFU
this effin racist b**st**d!!!!!!!! who the f**k is he anyway??!?!
He so wanted to say You’re fired!
😀
Omg if you have not seen karl roves meltdown yet you MUST find the clip and watch. I was watching it live because we were flipping between msnbc (rachel knows how to keep me calm) and fox news it may have taken a few extra minutes off my life but it was totally worth it!
Yes…he was crunching his numbers and pleading his case as to why it was too early to call the race before all precincts in OH were in. Even the anchor looked like “dude…give it up”. They even had another reporter go to the Fox News numbers crunchers to see if they felt that Rove could be right, but they dismissed his numbers stating that most of the uncounted votes would be democrat anyway. It was quite hilarious, actually.
Andy Cohen tweeted, “I’ma run a sedative up to Trump Tower#BRB.”
That made me actually LOL!
The world isn’t ‘laughing at us,’ Donald. Just you.
This!
The ONLY one the world is laughing at Donald is YOU!
Please Mr. Trump, sit down and chill! The President is still resident of the White House, please get over it! Thank you!
He is being irresponsible to the extreme. Is he actually saying that people should march to impeach Obama?
scary stuff, that. People listen, and if they hate anyway it’s almost a green light to go to the extreme. People do assassinate Presidents 🙁
he’s needs to sit down and shut up. Expressing your POV is one thing- inciting hatred and mutiny is quite another.
@ kay…
No worries. I seriously don’t think anyone even listens to The Donald anymore, lol. Any Republican (including the presidential candidate who just lost) tries to run away from his endorsement as fast as they can, without being blatantly rude.
He and his bluster will simply play themselves out and go bye-bye.
I think Trump is a total fool but this kind of rant is no different from what everyone was shouting when Bush was elected and reelected, the shouts just came from the other side of the fence. (disclaimer – I am not a Bush supporter, this is just my observation)
It is interesting to me that I read so much name calling and drama and people flipping out and blaming everyone and everything for the downfall of the country. The people I know personally are equally distributed across political parties and everyone is respectful of differing view points. We disagree on a lot of things but no one is ever screaming rants saying awful things about each other. Sure this election was/is important but who are all these nasty people up in arms?
Why is Trump allowed to spew such dangerous comments ? In my country ( NIgeria) after our presidential election last year, the defeated candidate made a comment quite like what trump said. Many people took to the streets and killed hundreds of people in protest of the election results. I view comments such as the one made by trump as dangerous and highly irresponsible.
I love Brian Williams so much.
Trump is giant blowhard famewhore who needs to shove it.
Brian Williams was SO funny last night.I couldn’t tell if it was intentional but I assume it was-he always seems so witty in interviews. I really like him.
He’a acting like a toddler having a tantrum. Everyone knows the most effective way to deal with a tantrum. Ignore it!
I wish the media would just stop reporting what he says. Same with Ann Coulter. Why give these crackpots any kind of audience or exposure?
I wish he’d implode.
I bet his wife secretly voted for Obama! (assuming she is a citizen who votes…I really have no idea.)
😉
I don’t recall him bitching about the electoral college in 2000 when Bush lost the popular vote.
Donald Trump= Morally bankrupt degenerate
+1
he should be thankful someone that will protect his rights, especially his right to make a complete jackass of himself, was elected.
Heh, heh. Good catch.
Well, he is wrong in that the world is laughing AT you. We are a actually laughing WITH you because we are so glad Obama won. I saw a survey yesterday of how the rest of the world would have voted if they were allowed to and Obama got 95% of the votes or more.
Donald Trumph sounds like he is a terrorist in making by not respecting the outcome of a democratic vote by the people.
I just can’t get over the spray-tan rings around his eyes. Makes him look like some kind of nightmarish, uber-rich raccoon…
As a foriegner can I just tell you that many of us think that Donald Trump is the “norm” in the US. I’m so releaved for you all that your election didn’t go the other way.
Omg…. I’m so embarrassed… 🙁
It’s ok Berite, I have to explain away Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne all the time.
Ugh, I hear this a lot and it makes me sad 🙁
Here’s the deal- if you see someone from the US on tv and they’re being angry, rude, and their arguments seem unbalanced/ otherwise insane, (or they’re from Fox News) odds are half of the country of more strongly disagrees.
Holy CRAP! That is sad. I’m glad that folks in other countries are realizing that he’s just one turd in the garden.
Brian Williams’ comment is hilarious!
Donald Trump looks like a tomato. With fuzz.
LOL! yeah, he looks like a moldy tomato that’s on the verge of imploding..
After the coverage and election-I have been so torn to be an American. Proud that we live in a country that truly the entire world sits and waits to see who we chose….and then embarrassed as hell to witness all the assh0les who come out to throw fits when things don’t go their way. Disagreeing with who’s elected is one thing but people are out there saying Obama is the Anti-Christ, riots at Ole Miss and this Blowhard who looks like an Oompa Loompa having a tantrum.
I get on Facebook and am reading “friends” making comments that they are deleting “Obama lovers” off their FB page. I told one of them “You forgot me! Here, I’ll rememdy that.” *unfollow*
I refused to engage in rantings on fb and when people questioned me I simply said my political views were Bob Marley 🙂 Peace…They unfriended me because I wouldn’t fight with them! ( they friended me again later after the rational side kicked back in) but FB is too cray for me at times!
Its SO stupid. I mean I’m no “LOVER” of Obama-I did vote for him—but even if I’d voted for Romeny I’d have deleted the dumbasses who can’t handle different views. Ridic.
What you guys said.^
Friendships can be strained when you have such divergent political beliefs, because sometimes it does start to trend into “personal” territory but how hard is it to just NOT talk about politics then?
My friend Josh is a hard core Republican. We are at complete opposite ends of the political spectrum but I adore him and his girlfriend and love spending time with them. We always have a lot to talk about-just NOT politics.
People who “un-friend” others on FB because they disagree politically strike me as strange. It’s one thing if you have wacko extremists who post/say inflammatory things but if it’s simply a matter of respectfully disagreeing on political stance, then just agree to disagree.
Ok, so I am going to be retro and old school but I have to point out the reason we can have FB debates and spectacles like the Donald Tantrum and Rowe Riot is because of the US political system. Dissent is legal.
I’m all for debates-its where I get some good FYIs…just reading other peoples discussions. But when they get on there and start yelling they can’t be friends with anyone who isn’t a Repub or Demo-I delete them. The world is made up of all kinds of different views and I don’t have time for people who can’t recognize that. I feel bad for them to have such a small minded attiutde about life.
For real, Eileen. I didn’t really think Obama’s race was a factor until the name-calling, fear-mongering, and personal remarks were made. It’s one thing to dislike his policies, but many seem to hate him personally. I really don’t understand. Obama doesn’t appeal to me but why all this hate?
cause he be black.
and he always will be so what are they gonna do now?
Listen to Nev, there’s your true answer.
U mad Bro?
Go do your cane shaking somewhere else Gramps.
HAhaaaaa….
WORD.
Well, I actually agree with Trump on something – the Electoral College is a disaster for democracy. It is absurd that the President is not directly voted for by the people, by popular vote. Millions of voters are completely ignored by the campaigns because those states aren’t up for grabs – New York, Texas, California, and Illinois to name big ones, but also most states in New England, the Deep South, and the non-Great Lakes touching Midwestern states.
I love the fact that Trump is up in arms about it, though, considering that Obama won both the popular vote and the EC, unlike Bush in 2000.
Totally agree with you and (grudgingly) agree with Trump about electoral college.
Melissa, I’m not directing this to you personally but your comment brings up an interesting point.
Anyone who complains about the Electoral College better be prepared to take the heat on the Second Amendment (a GOP mainstay these days) being outdated. Can’t pick and choose which parts of the Constitution you think should apply to your life.
I’m not understanding your point. I don’t think that the Constitution shouldn’t apply to me. I think that it’s a living document and needs to sometimes be updated/amended. The EC doesn’t fit the times, and should be done away with.
I find the electoral college to be useless. Always have. Always will, but again, Trump didn’t find it useless and didn’t find it to be a problem in 2000.
Obama has won both votes.
Trump go feed whatever the hell that is on top of your head and sit down somewhere.
LOL looks like a bale of hay up there, doesn’t it?
LOL!
If Trump wants to do something really constructive with his money, he’ll buy himself and his co-Teabaggers one-way tickets to Tasmania.
Get gone, Donald, and stay gone.
We have strict feral animal laws in Australia – ain’t no way he’s gettin’ in.
Hahaha I just read this on twitter -someone tweeted this to Trump: “I don’t think you want a revolution. I know history. Revolutions end very poorly for people with wigs. Very poorly.”
Bahahahaha! This is great.
Oh my god, you guys are killing me today. These comments are priceless! People like Trump really makes it so easy. I wonder if his pillows need dry cleaning every morning? Melania has her work cut out for her..poor poor ceausescu!
LOL! I wanna marry that commenter.
I know right? I’m stalking his twitter feed. Brilliant.
Yeah, just ask Marie Antoinette!
Ask me what?

Oh my goodness, I WISH I had said that!
So I wonder just what the Donald would be today if he had NOT inherited all that money from his father. He must own stock in big Pharma or something because he is so anti healthcare, it has to have something to do with money. Just sayin.
I know. He makes it sound as if he started his fortune by working at McDonalds.
I bet if Romney had won, the electoral college wouldn’t be a “disaster” and the election wouldn’t be a “sham”.
Keep on hating, Donald.
I honestly believe that what we have witnessed out of Trump over the past year or so are signs of mental illness. He is suffering from some kind of unmanaged paranoia and/or delusion.
I also don’t think he’s nearly as smart as he thinks he is, but that’s just part of the delusional thinking that could be controlled by better medications.
Ha! He deleted that tweet because it turns out that Obama DID win the popular vote as well as the electoral one. Suck it, Trump!
I’m sure he’s pissy because he just wasted a ton of money for absolutely nothing! Ha.
My hats are off to Melania because there is no way I could sleep next to that scary looking face each night. Must be the money.
Seriously. Although I find it hard to believe she sleeps next to him. Maybe in the wing next to his. 🙂
It has to be the money. She is really beautiful and he is the complete opposite.
I’ve seen her on a couple talk shows hawking her line of gaudy costume jewelry and she seems pretty stupid and vapid. Zero sense of humor. Trump can’t handle intelligent women. He’s a misogynist. That’s why he dumped Ivanka and abhors Rosie O’Donnell.
All Melania has are her looks, and all Trump has is his money. They are perfect for each other.
I love Obama even more because just the fact that he is president drives cretins like Trump crazy.
The world is laughing at YOU Donald.
To “the whole world is laughing at us” if you’re using the royal “we” in that sentence, Donald, then speaking as a Canadian, you’re right.
OMG! You all made me laugh this morning. To the Donald: only in a republic would an idiot like you get your 15 minutes of fame. Go back into your box.
Since the rest of the world favors Obama, and greatly favors him over Mitt, I’d have to say that the world is *not* “laughing” at this. But they are laughing at Trump.
Can’t he be arrested for inciting racial hatred? Isn’t that a crime in the US? (Serious question – he should be made to face the consequences of his actions, the gigantic knob-end.)
Rat-Boy needs to STFU!
SIT DOWN MR TRUMP.
so RUDE and OUT OF ORDER.
THE AUDACITY AND GALL.
UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE.
Mia Farrow called him down like he was a 10 year old Catholic schoolboy and she was Mother Superior. It was great.
I have no cable. Which I have been more than fine with for a couple years. Until last night, when I had no access to Rachel Maddow.
Please do not tell me how awesome she was *sniff sniff* I really really really really would have loved to watch her shine last night.
He’s just a gross, ugly old loser with a bad comb over.
OMG this guy is SUCH a d*ck!
Is he suffering from dementia? What election is he talking about? Obama won the popular vote, it’s not Gore v Bush! And wouldn’t it have been hilarious if 12 years after, GOPers had been in a situation to soil themselves with rage because the electoral college system didn’t represent the outcome of the popular vote. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
They really need to get rid of this system, it’s the 21st century, there is no need for an electoral college. A democracy = popular vote. Nothing else. This electoral college business isn’t right at all, if you have a system that can elect a president that does NOT represent the popular vote you can’t really call yourself a democracy.
Aside that Trump is a joke, loved what what Brian Williams said last night before reporting this tweet: that Trump had ‘Driven Well Past The Last Exit To Relevance’ … BURN!! lol
Trump has become increasingly unhinged to the point I’m actually starting to wonder if he’s has some sort of brain injury because each bizarre action looks less like the self-promotion of a megalomaniac and more like the tantrum of someone with seriously disordered thinking/judgement
Totally agree with you. He’s an egomaniac & a narcissist. And age tends to magnify personality disorders, not soften them. Someone in his family needs to have a serious talk with him. Although I get the feeling they are all cut from the same cloth and are all trained to kiss his ass.
Trump is an orange PIG. He has insurance, but 50 million American’s and the poorest of the children in this country do not have insurance, they get sick, they even die when they don’t have to. Every industrialized country has healthcare, and has had it for decades and they are doing just fine, and their citizens are in far better health than we are, with the level of obesity where it is in this country. For whatever reason, the very richest people in this country want the middle, lower, and poor to suffer needlessly with exorbitant medical costs, and drug costs that most American’s cannot afford. His tirade says more about him than it does about people who deserve good healthcare, especially children getting decent healthcare in the only First World Country on the planet. How bitter and greedy this little troll of a man is. I bet when he’s roasting in Hell that orange makeup will make the Devil laugh and laugh. I sure do every time I gaze upon his strange, ugly appearance.
Marry me, dammit!
His hair and scalp look like my dogs when he chews himself and gets hot spots. Lol
OMG Exactly!!! lol!
ahahahahahahaha!
Someone just called him a “vibrating bologna loaf” LOL. Donald Dump, indeed.
This man is evil, he makes my blood boil. If you are able, try to watch the film/documentary ‘You’ve Been Trumped’. What he’s done to a community of Scottish people is disgusting.
I don’t think you can say someone with so much power and money isn’t relevant. He is able to destroy beautiful landscapes, throw people out of their homes and have reporters arrested on whim.
I would have tweeted him “go back to bed, old man.” What a silly old buffoon. Exhibit #110,386,203: his tweet responses to Brian Williams’ tweets about him (see dlisted).
Yes, the rest of the world is laughing at us — because we let YOU speak on TV.
Trump is going insane. I guess he will be able to afford the best nut house money can buy.
Big baby had a dummy spit.
(Dummy = pacifier)
So Democracy is working then the guy you want to win wins.. but is broken if the guy you don’t want to win wins.
The bottom line is this is all about Race. It can be twisted in any and every way but the bottom line is this all about Race. He didn’t rant when Bill Clinton won. So what is the difference. Donald has shown he is a racist. And as they say.. WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS YOU WHO THEY ARE… BELIEVE THEM.
I believe what Donald has shown himself to be. A racist. And I don’t care how many people of color he knows or stands next to or works with..
I think Trump must be going senile – his hatred of Obama isn’t based on anything remotely factual, and nobody with a whit of intelligence takes him seriously. In fact he’s good comic relief. I have relatives through marriage who, like Trump, are the MOST intransigent people I’ve ever met. It’s impossible to have an informed, rationale discussion with them about Obama so I’ve learned to avoid those land-mines.
There aren’t enough “f**k yous” in the world for DT.
Suck it, you epic ass**le.
He looks like an albino Oompa Loompa.
Hey…that’s insulting to Oompa Loompas.
he deleted that because romney was winning the popular vote until the end.
Trump is wrong when he says the world is laughing at us. I have friends and family all over the world, and if anything, the fact that Obama was re-elected has helped America gain back some of the respect that was lost to it long before Obama was even in office.
As a non-American, I’ll tell you that world isn’t laughing at you, the world is relieved and happy that you don’t take this think dump seriously. The only person at whom we’re laughing is Trump and we know you’re laughing right along with us. So maybe Trump IS the great uniter.
Major BULLY when he doesn’t get his way.. Hope he doesnt endorse stop bullying because he is a hypocrite
Mr. Trump looks angry like his tax escaping loop holes might be exposed like Mitt’s finally were.
How strange while President Clinton stumped for President Obama, President GW Bush was the keynote speaker at the Cayman Island symposium on how rich people can hide their money to avoid paying taxes to their countries.
The world is laughing at your backcomb !not to mention your old orange looking face ! Everytime you open your mouth you make a fool of yourself ,please go awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
I also have relatives on FB in the States,we were informed by the DIL that we were not to post anything that would offend her?? She does know,over the years that although we are Conservative voters at home,we could never understand the present Republican Party with it’s hard liners and Tea Party. We soon learned never to talk politics( which is odd as for nigh on 50 years I have had great unheated debates on politics with like minded and opposing friends with nary a bad word exchanged) however with said DIL, it is a no go as she gets ballistic and has spewed on Facebook,telling us to mind our own business,who do we think we are?? Etc!! It’s too sad! Incidentally I also have a Dem friend who does not favour Obama but again we just chat about it in an adult manner!! How can you ever hope to work together for the best of America if you won’t listen to any viewpoint but your own???at least she isn’t a gun owner!!!
Well, he was *half* right – the world is laughing, but it’s at him!!!
Trump is proof that being wealthy isn’t an indicator of intelligence. Guess he really did get rich from being a slick guy instead of a smart one.
The Donald is spot on with the electoral college. It’s an archaic, elitist and unfair joke; but where was he in 2000 when it mattered.
I’ll admit I was hoping Mittens would win the popular vote because I was hoping that if it happened twice in 12 years, we would be forced to revisit the electoral college issue.
If that had happened, I was not looking for The Donald to be the spokesperson for the cause.
As for the Tea Party, put a fork in it, it’s done.
Quite apart from his ugly personality and lack of brain cells, Donald Trump is the most physically ugly human being I have ever seen. I feel like throwing up just looking at him. I imagine the bimbos he marries must have to dose THEMSELVES with Rohypnol before tolerating his presence. Barf.
