Foxy is correct, Meryl Streep was given a platform to speak her mind and chose a topic designed to appeal to the tinsel town glitterati who unsurprisingly gave her a standing ovation.

That her virtue signalling resonated only within her elite clique and made not one iota of difference amongst those that voted for Trump was irrelevant as she got the adulation she has been missing for years.

The CIA or FBI will find a true "patriot" in a long tradition and exercising their 2nd amendment rights will solve the international Trump problem.

Trump himself alluded to this during the campaign...although he was referring to Hillary.

Where was Streep when Obama trashed the US Constitution with signing orders ? Where was Streep when Obama illegally invaded many countries like the Bush criminals ? The left parasites fear Trump will end their freebees just like the right parasites.

It's a bit late for Hollywood to complain about pushing political agendas, considering the amount of nationalist and jingoistic propaganda they have been spewing out over past decades.

If politicians are free to deliberately lie and obfuscate on the campaign trail, somebody has to call them to account. Perhaps it's true that bullies can dish it out but just can't take it.

In any case, the Main Game hasn't even started yet so brace yourselves.

They are called to account at the ballot box. Voters weigh up all the considerations and make a choice. Their choice was for Trump.

The question is what do you do about that reality or do you go on dreaming about what might have been. Dreamers are no help to the rest of us. Only those who are prepared to help get the best out of the situation are of any value. Indulging in your own fantasies about a different reality does not do anything to solve the world’s problems.

These whingers are fundamentally selfish people.

"If you break down that popular vote, Clinton's majority came mostly from the populous states of California and New York. Unlike in Australia, one of the few advantages of the US electoral system is that it balances the skewed metropolitan-regional divide."

Totally unnecessary, this wasn't a vote for congress, this was a straight fight for president. Australia doesn't have this vote, as we don't elect a head of state, we have first past the post, as does the UK, which is fine, as it elects representatives by area. If we were voting for a president would you be OK with voting by electorates? Would you accept the person you voted for winning the popular vote by millions and losing? The country would be in uproar, and rightly so.
