I don't get it. I really don't. What are they protesting? That the election was rigged, thats not what they are saying. That the electorally college system does not work, no I don't think so, that is not what they are saying either. What are they protesting against?

I think they are just whining that the didn't win, that they didn't get their way. WAAAAAAAAAAA! They seem to be protesting one of the very tenets of our democracy, the electorally process. They are protesting the election results. This is the way we pick our leaders. Trump won. Get over it. If you don't like don't like the way our great country picks it leaders, go somewhere that gives do overs in their politics, or at least protest the the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Don't get me wrong. I believe wholeheartedly in the FIRST AMENDMENT to the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. All have the right to peaceably assemble. All have the right to voice their opinions. But on what grounds are they protesting the election? They chant that "Trump is not my president", but he won. He is your president elect, unless some improprieties in the election process come out in the future. Then ya got something to protest.

What they seem to be protesting just does not make sense to me. I understand that they may not like the results, but they are what they are. I would be saying the same exact thing if Clinton had won and the Trump backers where doing the same exact thing. Maybe if they weren't turning their peaceful assembles into riots, denying other's FIRST AMENDMENT rights through threats of violence or causing an undo amount of tax money to be spent by their actions I would not be offended by their actions.

You've had your say, you've voiced your opinions, now settle down, accept it. If you don't like it, nominate better candidates, work within the confines of the law to change it so you can get the results you want next time or just go away. Just stop the stupidity and and enjoy the fact that you live in a country where you got away with what you did and the military didn't get the tanks out and run you down.

Three years since my last rant, well since I posted one here. Since my last rant I have seen so many things that have made me mad that I can't even keep track of them. It started in the spring of 2011 with the flooding of the Missouri River. I am not sure of the cost to the people that lived along the river, or the cost to all of the tax payers, but I do know it cost the life of at least one member of the Missouri State Highway Patrol........ read more here...
