Like him or not, he is the President elect of the USA. He will be sworn in as POTUS on January 20th.

We need to rally behind him ans support him and his cabinet for the best interest of our great Nation.

If we do not agree with what he, his cabinet or Congress present as executve orders, rules or laws, or pass as such, then we, as Americans need to speak out in a civilized way and let our voices be known.

Today is Veteran's Day. Brave men and women served our Country to protect our freedoms, some giving the ultimate sacrifice for those rights.

Oh, you mean like the Republicans that rallied around Obama?

#notmypresident

Right??!! People have not supported Obama for years. SCOTUS? That seat should not have been vacant into a new administration. And Trump was denying Obama as a true US citizen up until a few months ago. So now the dissenters should support Trump? Nah. Not how it works.

Fun that someone (the "owner") posted this in a Yahoo lapband forum that went defunct a few years. The writer-cartoonist is more hopeful than I. H.L. Mencken was himself at all times.

Here's a message to sign and forward on to the Electoral College:

If for some reason the link doesn't work, go directly to change.org.

I like Scott (Dilbert) Adams take on the elections, which were spot on and surprising to me...http://blog.dilbert.com/post/152955248046/i-answer-your-questions-about-predicting-president

Then I ran across a very interesting book on Trump's win: https://www.amazon.com/MAGA-Mindset-Making-America-Great-ebook/dp/B01M8K6BG8/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1478813437&sr=1-1&keywords=maga+mindset

He gives credit to Trump for taping into four key engines:
1. Appeal to Nationalism
2. Rejection of White guilt
3. Unapologetically masculine
4. Rejection of the Politically Correct culture

In short, Trump ain't a conservative, but he sure tapped into some core values.

But, Trump will be forever demonized in the press:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
