Blame Whatever, Fake News, the Internet, Stupidity, or Mental Illness, People Are Gullible and We Are All Going To Suffer The Oligarchy, Plutocracy, Created By Dumb Ass People! 

     Personally I think mental illness is far more out of control than just the issues involving mentally ill people being able to purchase firearms legally. I look at our last election and see that of the people who voted for Trump over 60% think the unemployment has gone UP  since President Obama took office, it hasn't, it went from 7.8% to 4.9%. Those same voters think the stock market has gone DOWN! Really?! It was just above 7,000 when he took office and is now above 19,000! What universe are these people living in? It must be one that houses the mentally ill. Really. Here's an Update on President Obama's Numbers from FactCheck.org as of July 2016, know that as of today the stock market is above 19,000! Here are 14 facts about President Obama's achievements that most people don't know. Although the post is from a source I don't know all 14 facts are indeed verifiable. 14 Facts About Obama's Presidency Most People Don't Know .

     Then we have those Trump supporters/voters who actually believe, and do NO research whatsoever, people like Alex Jones of "InfoWars" notability and Stephen Bannon, who was heading up Breitbart, a right-wing, conspiracy theory website that is funded by Trump's number one supporter and contributor, that totally fabricates stories, I should say "theories" that have no basis in reality whatsoever. President-Elect Donald Trump's very first appointment after winning the electoral college but losing the popular vote by more that 2.5 million as of today, was Stephen Bannon as his "Chief White House Strategist and Senior Counselor." 

The Monsters Attacking Sandy Hook Families Are The Worst Of Us

By Bob Owens December 9, 2016 BearingArms.com

     "In the latest episode over the proliferation of fake news and the people who believe it, a Tampa woman who thinks the Sandy Hook school massacre in Newtown, CT was staged has been charged with threatening a parent of one of the slain children." Read more . 

     And for all of those who think that the massacre at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, CT, where 20 elementary school children and 6 teachers and administrators were killed, was nothing more than a massive hoax, I don't believe we have the proper treatment for them. 

Why Won't Donald Trump Denounce Sandy Hook Deniers?

By William Finnegan November 22, 2016 The New Yorker

     "In the rank confusion of Donald Trump's preparations to assume power, there are some decisions that look as if  they should be easy.  Last week, Erica Lafferty wrote the President-elect an open letter asking him to cut ties with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Lafferty is the daughter of Dawn Hochsprung, who was the Principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Newtown, CT. On December 14, 2012 Hochsprung was shot to death trying to stop Adam Lanza who murdered 20 children and five other adults at the school, in addition to his mother, earlier that day, before killing himself.   Jones who is based in Austin, TX, who runs a radio show and Web site called InfoWars has repeatedly argued that the mass shooting at Sandy Hook was a hoax, that it was staged by the government and performed by paid actors. Jones and many of his fans contend that the government has orchestrated a number of mass shootings and national tragedies including the September 11th terror attacks and the 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City, but their Sandy Hook denial has a particular cruelty. They actually seem to make special efforts to torment the bereaved."

     "I invite him to my town," Lafferty said, speaking of Jones, when I called her last week. "Invite him to my family dinners. Come sit in my mother's empty seat. If they want to tell me that she's still alive, show me. Nothing would make me happier. Show me where she's sitting on some island sipping a drink."

     How hard for the incoming President of the United States to disavow this ugliness? Reince Priebus who will soon be President Trump's Chief of Staff told CNN last week "It's really important all Americans understand that he is a president for everyone." Does Priebus understand where his new boss has positioned himself among the grieving, doubly victimized families of Newtown?" Read more .

Obama's Accomplishments To Spite The Unprecedented Obstruction To Be Undone

     On January 20, 2009 President Obama took office, 700,000 jobs PER MONTH were being lost. Republicans met a couple miles away from the inauguration ceremonies in a hotel conference room and swore they would oppose and block everything and anything the new president wanted to do. To spite them he actually saved the auto industry and one-and-a-half million jobs in that one act. He did get 20 million Americans healthcare against tremendous obstruction and after he did Republicans spent over $7M of taxpayer money voting to repeal "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" dubbed "Obamacare." The Republicans spent that money voting to repeal the law no less than 54 times knowing for a fact that it would never be signed by the President. They didn't care they were wasting YOUR money, at all, acting like children, while being paid $175,000/yr and more, and given a platinum healthcare plan for themselves.

400 Obama Accomplishments So Far With Citations

     In 2008, we elected the most progressive president in history. And regardless of the negativity, when you actually look at the record, there has been a lot of progress since January 20, 2009. If you’ll recall, when he took over the reins of power, the economy was in free-fall and we were practically a world laughingstock. That is no longer the case.

Here is a list of many of President Obama’s accomplishments as President. Every one of them has a citation, so no one can dismiss them out of hand, although many have tried since I started to compile this list Even with the obstacles we gave him, especially the Republican Congress, this President will leave behind a wonderful legacy.

In Summary   

     I don't know how many believers, supporters, voters, gullible people that voted for Trump, or voted for a third party candidate, or people who didn't vote at all, or the Democrats themselves like Hillary Clinton and the other conspirators like Debbie Wassermann-Schultz that conspired to beat Bernie Sanders, know how much damage they've done by electing someone who 1) never really wanted the job of President; 2) has no clue on what the job is or the requirements of it; 3) is going to operate in a way to make himself even richer by using the office (he is already doing this); 4) is a racist; 5) a misogynist; 6) an enormous egomaniac; 7) a narcissist that needs to be fed regularly (just look at his unprecedented "Thank You" rallies; 8) has so much hate in his heart that he appoints a white supremacist, neo-Nazi to be his Chief Strategist; 9) Picks someone that runs a large oil corporation and has some 40 active lawsuits against the EPA, and denies climate change to be the head of the EPA; 10) Picks a CEO of a corporation that is the parent company for hamburger chains; Carl's Jr., Hardees, in which the Dept. of Labor investigated and found that MORE THAN HALF of those restaurants were violating hour-wage labor laws; 11) picks a neurosurgeon that has never run a company much less a government or any other kind of agency to be the head of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) after he has made numerous derogatory remarks about urban developments; and I can keep going on and on, and he's not even sworn in yet. 

     The person you all are responsible for getting elected has already shown he doesn't know what he's doing. He had the Prime Minister of Japan coming to meet with him and that Prime Minister had to put out in public, because foreign leaders didn't have any contact information, the day before they were supposed to meet, that they didn't know where or when they were actually supposed to meet him. The Prime Minister didn't find out until he was already "wheels up" in Japan. The person that arranged and took a call from the leader of Taiwan which we (America) haven't recognized as a government since 1979 aggravating a diplomatic precedent we have with China. Who at the time of the Japan Prime Minister's visit hadn't even contacted the Pentagon or the State department. A man whose entire team was surprised that they were going to have to fill 4,000 positions within the government. A man who has still not filled many of the positions needed to run the government and the country, so much so that people in those positions are asking what they should do if January 20th comes and no one has shown up to trained. What they should do with all their files and such.

You can't fix stupidity, I just hope that this country is not beyond repair when this reality show ends.
