I can’t imagine being a Muslim right now, or a woman, or an African American, a Hispanic, a handicapped person. How disenfranchised they might feel. And for anyone in those groups that voted for him, it’s just beyond my comprehension how they ignore all of that. My final conclusion is, my big fear is—we are Rome. Pop is great!!! Finally I hear another person with same believe that I have. But we are still a Republic of Rome... Watch out Caesar!!!

![]() Trump should resist neocon & shadow gov’t influence to justify people’s hopes – Ron Paul to RT
Donald Trump’s success or failure as the next US president will largely depend on his ability to keep his independence from the “shadow government” and elite structures that shaped the policies of previous administrations, former presidential candidate Ron Paul told RT. https://www.rt.com/usa/366404-trump-ron-paul-crosstalk/ The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein

![]() Apparently Trump backpedaled his criticism of the protesters too
Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud! I hope Trump listens to the voices of the 67 million people who voted against him, not just the 60 million who voted for him. |

We will all come together and be proud! Those protesters are not the voice of 67 million. If they were you would be out there. These are people who aren't scared or anything of that sort. They are just upset that their candidate lost and have taken to the streets. That seems to be the motto for today's society when something happens let's take to the streets. There are rules and one of them is the right to demonstrate peacefully. They can do so if they are doing so peacefully. There are people who are paid to do this. These are paid rallies. You don't see Obama making statements to calm the situation or anyone from DNC. They seem to relish what is going on. What you have forgotten and chose to forget is that everyone is protected by the constitution of the United States and it is bigger than the President of the United States. |

Now, like I've said before, they should've directed this energy to getting more Dems to vote in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, etc. But please don't insult these people by trying to minimize their feeling as just sour grapes. |

![]() Ah Pop STFU
So disgusting how these people feel they were " entitled" to having Hillary win. And some of these holier than thou remarks are obnoxious and whiny. why does Pops interpretation of the state of our union mean more than a 30 year old coal worker in Pennsylvania. That's right it doesn't. And thats the beauty of the system. Be a man and deal with it work with him rather than against. This is our system these are our laws and if you don't like it there are many more countries out there that night fit u better RIP Crushalot😞

We will all come together and be proud! Bonn I respect you but you are fanning the flames. This is a paid movement and there is vast evidence go look up George Soros and you will see that he is behind the protests. But like anything else you'll turn a blind eye to it. Just like how you couldn't wrap you head around how bad a candidate Hillary was. This requires an open mind which I feel you don't have. |

We will all come together and be proud! Minimize? Disservice? Wow. This is more a result of brain warping that the DNC has done. For some reason DNC has become synonymous with Liberalism with every movement possible. Now everyone is afraid of the big bad wolf. People are protected under the constitution of the United States of America. We are Americans first. I understand a protest when something has happened but a result of an election is not a reason to protest. This is the society we live in where everyone gets what they want. When in reality people don't always get what they want. People need to accept it move on with their lives. |
