Liberals are still obsessed by Trump's victory
KBZK-TV ^ | November 5, 2017 | Timothy Stanley

(CNN) -- On November 8, thousands of Americans say they will mark the anniversary of Donald Trump's election by meeting across the country to "scream helplessly at the sky." The Facebook page for the event in New York says 2,500 will attend and 15,000 are interested. I'm skeptical: The mood seems ironic, and the cool weather might put people off. But Trump would love it. He lives for division, he succeeds by driving his opponents mad. Screaming is a concession of defeat.

The emotions implied are understandable. Not only was Trump not supposed to win in 2016 on account of his personality and views, but also, by some counts, he didn't win. He lost the popular vote and captured the electoral college so narrowly that but for 80,000 people in three states, he would've lost.

To the liberal mind, he triumphed by error, by accident, by Hillary Clinton's own fault -- forgetting to campaign properly in Michigan the same way that you might forget to fasten a window and, damn it, you let a burglar in. These are the tantalizing "what-ifs" of history that keep us all living on a knife edge. What if James Comey hadn't announced that the FBI was looking at some emails related to Hillary Clinton just days before the election?

The answer is that he did, so deal with it. The Democrats' constant, tortured analysis of what went wrong, howling at the moon in anger or jest, is not only backward-looking but an insult to the voters who made the rational decision to switch to Donald Trump.

They aren't all racists. They weren't all duped. They weighed up the candidacies of Trump and Clinton and concluded, on balance, that one represented change and the other continuity.....

I say we declare November 8, "Point and Laugh Loudly at Screaming Lib Day."

Let me find a pack of these whackos and I'll make it happen.

The RATS just cannot deal with the two facts that they have NOTHING for America, except socialist giveaways and that America, for the most part are fed up with their lies and corruption.

They are in full panic mode trying to figure out a NEW set of lies that will cover up the old lies.....(chuckle).

Telling big old whoppers long enough and soon you start believing them. If the Democrat controlled media tells the liberals big old whoppers long enough they believe them as well. The media knew Hillary was in deep doo doo but they believed they could spin it to a point the majority would not think she was a crooked old hag

This is more balanced than the usual diatribe, but even this misses the problem. It’s all about how the Democrats can take the lead again, win again, be on top again, be victorious again... not about the real issue: what will help AMERICA? Trump is helping this country regain its footing, its job market, its confidence. Who cares what party he is? If he’s actually helping this country, that’s all anyone should care about.

He is mostly right. President Trump will thoroughly enjoy their screamed curses and shaken fists as they stare at the darkened cloud formations. He may even look for recordings of the event on YouTube.

Most the democrats I know personally are still not ready to let it go. It’s their party, and they’ll cry if they want to!

By some counts, the Dodgers won the World Series.

These are the same people who think we didn’t land on the moon, Hitler didn’t kill 6 million jews, Elvis is still alive, and Bigfoot is real.

But Trump would love it. He lives for division

This is why most American believe CNN is Fake News and distrust their reporting. * years Barack Obama worked hard at dividing America and I do not recall EVER, that CNN called him out on that. Less and a year after being elected CNN has weekly, from day one, called Trump out as a divider.

If this weekend’s Nov. 4 AntiFaIL turnout is any indication of how well they are still organized, I’m not expecting to hear much screaming on Nov. 8.

The longer they stay in this state of hysteria the better.

Given their insanity, Trump’s “mean” and “crazy” tweets are obvious in their aim and working beautifully.

This makes me happy! Liberals howling at the sky because they didn’t get their way. Maybe next they will hold their breath until.......I guess that is hoping for too much.

What really did hillary in were the leaked emails and her very own bizarre behavior as if she were hiding more than one disease. Plus, she was a lousy candidate.

In other words, she did herself in.

And, all the witch spells cast on The Donald only turned around to bite her in the @$$.

It was so bad that even her kissy-faced lap dog media was of absolutely no help.

In the darkness of the night, when I am alone with my thoughts, I smile real big and say one word which pulled the b!+ch down from her vaunted perch.

Trump.

I will be flying the flag on the 8th, just like I do every other patriotic holiday.
