I Am So Tired Of Hearing Talking Heads On Cable News Show Say That Elections Have Consequences.....

They don't address the fact that the election results were swayed by Russian interference and hacking and the likely collusion of Trump and the Repugs with the Russians.

We need to get to the bottom of this fast - or we will soon not be able to recognize this country as it once was in all its glory.

Everyday we become a shadow of our former self - our former government.

Everyday - we lose more and more.

And we're told that we have to accept this - because - elections have consequences.

There are consequences when you vote third party, or write in someone not on the ballot as a protest vote, or write in the name of a fucking gorilla, or don't get off your ass to vote because you are pissed that your candidate didn't get the nomination. Yep, consequences. Hillary told us and no one listened.

Yet nearly 45% of those eligible to vote didn't. We're all paying for now.

53% in today's political environment is a landslide.

When Democrats win, then it's time for reaching across the aisle, bipartisanship, and making sure that the election losers are fully taken care of as if they had won. The next time you read about any of that during the latest Republican Reign of Error will be the first time.
