    I don't really believe MSNBC, CNN, or FOXNEWS.
    Especially after this election.
    I'm sure there are some people that have turned him down, but 100% they're still pushing an agenda just like the right wing whackos would.

    Is it really that hard to believe that a bunch of people that signed a "never Trump" letter would be unwilling to take a position in his administration? Occam's razor says it's at least plausible, not some left-wing media conspiracy.

    I believe it, if they are important to the safety and security of this country and the world then they aren't very pragmatic then are they? I get it too but I don't like it.

    I think the concept of 'duty' and 'honor' are mostly dead things in public service (particularly in D.C.). It really does operate under different rules.

    Such a shame that Obama was such a divider. Thank God we've elected someone who will unite us.

    Maybe that is a good place to start making changes then.

    I've read some additional "reports." I just don't know if I believe them. Do I think it's possible? 100% absolutely. I just don't know if I'm buying all of them. Another one that came through my twitter feed was of a girl that had a bernie sticker on her car. She got out of her car to enter a store and a man approached her wearing a MAGA hat, grabbed her pussy and said "You scared yet, c*unt?" The person that posted it said it came across her FB feed from a personal friend of hers. She's relatively famous, by twitter standards I guess. I don't know. I didn't believe it. Seems too boogeyman to me. But would I be surprised? No. I just think we should be cautious to believe these stories off-hand. Perhaps I'm trying to be an optimist in the face of a terrifying result on Tuesday. I don't know....

    Cutting off their nose to spite their face is stupid.

    Such a stupid post. Obama didn't do jack shit to unite jack shit.

    Anyone who has read yahoo comments or watched youtube videos for the last 10 plus years knew this shit was bubbling under the surface the entire time.

    From every direction. The country is a mess and the sad part about Trump winning is that these donkeys are going to come crawling out of the dark. These morons think they can get away with stupid shit now.

    Tons of these are kids who've grown up with the fake aura of peace between us all. I suspect that many of them have parents who blame their jobs being taken from them on immigrants. While partly true who's fault is it really?

    A Chicago man was dragged out of his car and bashed in the head in broad daylight ... all because the attackers thought he voted for Donald Trump.

    The video is shocking ... the white man took several shots to the head from several African-American men on Wednesday afternoon. Onlookers recorded the attack and yelled, "Don't vote Trump!" and "Beat his ass!"

    The man made several attempts to get back in his car, even as one of the suspects drove it away ... with the man still clinging to it. Chicago PD tells us the victim was hospitalized. They have not made any arrests, and the victim's car has still not been recovered.

    On the other hand - it is free choice. Making someone to work for someone or something they do not believe in is wrong as well.

    I did not vote nor wanted Trump to be my president. I do want him to succeed however (after all, I am paying his salary and would like to live in it for quite some time without nuclear fallout to enjoy) - but I understand it when people do not want to work for or with him.

    Is it really that hard to believe that a bunch of people were unwilling to vote for Clinton so they didn't vote at all giving Trump the presidency.
    The mainstream media certainly found it hard to believe.
    Now they're saying no one wants a place in the Trump administration.
    Here we go again.
    (I could have probably worded this better but don't really have the time atm)

    Did this go out on the major news networks? Because I saw a blurb about minorities suffering from violence, already.
