It's Official: Trump is the 45th President of the United States of America
With Hawaii still to vote, Trump had 304 votes and Clinton had 224. It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency. Texas put Trump over the top, despite two Republican electors casting protest votes.
This is from ABC News, just published right now.
For all of those who voted and supported Trump like myself, we can finally put this election to rest and move on.
For the losers, better luck next time. But definitely not a chance for Hillary Clinton as her loss is historic in the history of the United States and perhaps the world being the first woman to run twice for the same position and lost.

Yep, the concept of sanctuary cities is wonderful...

Farewell...
Obama's farewell address to look back on career in activism
Gregory Korte , USA TODAY Published 6:34 p.m. ET Jan. 10, 2017 | Updated 2 hours ago
WASHINGTON — President Obama's farewell address in Chicago on Tuesday night will be part autobiography, part valedictory and part exhortation for Americans to work together to solve the nations' problems.
Excerpts of the speech released by the White House show that Obama will connect his time in office with his roots as a community organizer in Chicago.
“I first came to Chicago when I was in my early twenties, still trying to figure out who I was; still searching for a purpose to my life," he will say in his address at the McCormick Place convention center on the south side of Chicago's downtown.
"It was in neighborhoods not far from here where I began working with church groups in the shadows of closed steel mills. It was on these streets where I witnessed the power of faith, and the quiet dignity of working people in the face of struggle and loss. This is where I learned that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged, and come together to demand it.”
“After eight years as your president, I still believe that. And it’s not just my belief. It’s the beating heart of our American idea — our bold experiment in self-government.”
Obama will also borrow heavily from Thomas Jefferson, whose Declaration of Independence has inspired many of Obama's major speeches.
The American experiment was founded on "the conviction that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” Obama will say. “It’s the insistence that these rights, while self-evident, have never been self-executing; that we, the people, through the instrument of our democracy, can form a more perfect union.”
“This is the great gift our founders gave us. The freedom to chase our individual dreams through our sweat, toil, and imagination — and the imperative to strive together as well, to achieve a greater good.”
On the way to Chicago. White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters on Air Force One that Obama is “not one to be overly sentimental,” but it would be unrealistic for anyone in his position tonight not to feel some nostalgia.
The speech will not address Obama's post-presidential plans. "There will be a time and place” for Obama to speak at length about that, Earnest said.

Chelsea Manning to be set free,
Why the change of opinion from the powers that are about to not be, I don't know.
Im just glad to hear that this very modern day hero and warrior of the light is to be set free....
Heres to whistle-blowers
Please feel free to post a whistle-blower quote.
i dont believe in good guys versus bad guys anymore… only a plethora of states acting in self interest… with varying ethics and moral standards of course, but self-interest nonetheless
i mean, we’re better in some respects… we’re much more subtle… use a lot more words and legal techniques to legitimize everything
Its better than disappearing in the middle of the night
-Chelsea Manning-
I wanted to fight in the Iraq war because I felt like I had an obligation as a human being to help free people from oppression.
-Edward Snowden-

Why is crowd size so important to Trump?
Is it because he realizes the power of peer-pressure? It would be in his favor to have people on his side unconditionally. Kinda like when he was doing his rallies...people would do anything for the guy. If people sitting at home believes he has record people following him, it would be easier for others to join.
Is he planning on pushing through some reckless stuff and needs the support of his "followers?"
Anyway....weird he is so concerned with crowd size.
Just some speculation here.

Trump lies again
Trump bragged that the gathering in Washington D.C. for his inauguration was the largest in history, 2 photos taken from the top of the Washington monument shows less people there than a picture taken when Obama was
elected. I'm sure Trump will say the picture was rigged. studecar

What a lesson learned
At this time and age, I can really say learning comes painfully with a price. But being punished for an offence so rightfully deserved can bring a very good insight if not a complete redesign of goals and direction.
It is very apparent that for every issue there is not only two sides but in fact so many sides, up, down, right, left and over head. I learned that when it comes to politics, there is no need to argue really unless the position you take requires for the action of which will generate the very exposure of what is right and or wrong. Much like that of Hillary and Trump before the election. They were the true catalyst of change and the result of that position emerging as the victor do affect our country of the US and that of the world. Politics is no longer isolated. the world has become so intertwined and that leaders of the world are very much either for or against each other. And we, the people, whether we like it or not do get affected as a result of those relationship forged and or severed.
Anyways, as a result of my very staunch position of my support for my elected President arguing against those who oppose him like Streep I have paid a heavy price of being in jail for exactly 30 days. lol At least there is so many of you who must have been so happy in my absence and hope that I will not even come back anymore.
For those who wrote me and asked me what happened on private mail, thank you very much. Specially to Ms. Witch and the many who communicated with me while in jail.
What a relief to be released and thank you CS for your understanding. Actually, I thought it would be a 90 days and or perhaps a year. Anyways, greetings to all.
