Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

What is most important of this grand experiment, the United States? Not the election of the first president but the election of its second president. The peaceful transition of power is what will separate this country from every other country in the world. George Washington

It means the Democracy is filled w/ illiterate politicians, greed of money/power, ego over ethics & a perfect sign of 'Imperfect, State Of The Union'. VoterFraud, Voter Suppressions & now this USPolitics is steering towards a collusion & GOP is driving it. uspoli CdnPoli

ASK HILLARY !!?

Washington Post = DNC

lynn32187 I can’t endorse retaliation, so tit for tat simply boxes you into the role your adversary seeks. Be creative in the more difficult task and OPENLY demonstrate excellence in the face of challenges.

I agree you should take your own advice . 2016 election been over for a long time now Trump is President your projection has been lost on me what a hack!

It’s scary

I'd love to know what Ted Cruz, (R) Texas, is up to, in Depth.

Why waste the money on elections, GOP, if you are just going to ignore the results? Wisconsin should just declare that they will no longer be following democratic rules. Apparently, now the GOP will be staying in power regardless of the election outcome.

Are you talking about Hillary Clinton?

It really is unAMERICAN!

LOL. I love how you're saying 'losers won't accept an election' when your ilk have been whining incessantly for 2+ years about Trump winning. Keep calling the kettle black and slip into further delusional and mental instability,

Why are you so much against the balance of power? Checks and balances. Isn't that what makes our republic?

Sounds like more left-wing 'projection' to me.

Seems to me one quick and easy answer to this trend would be to drastically shorten or eliminate the months-long lame duck period following elections. It's a 19th century concept that doesn't work in the 21st century.

It means: No more democracy.

Hey I know. Let's discuss this topic in view of obama, hrc, kerry, ryan (y'all's boy), and some large percentage of washington. Let's not forget the MSM and their 24/7/365 Trump hatefest. For an alarming number this is going to equate to treason for their efforts. Yeah. QAnon

REPUBLICAN PARTY NEEDS AN OVERHAUL .. NEW BLOOD , YOUNG BLOOD , NOT CHEATERS !!!!!

Why are there no laws to prevent this?

Hmmm ... Reminds me of Obama and in an indirect way Hillary

Big stories like Russian Collusion? Spun news? Bias? Which one?

What in the world are you talking about? The loser of the election in WI, Scott Walker, will certainly be relinquishing power come Jan 7th.

See Brexit in UK

Such a short-sighted power move by GOP in Wisconsin. Polarize a swing state just in time for 2020. And further damage their national brand.

Hmmm short a word

Bash, bash, bash! Your favorite anti Trump, today about his FRIDAYBB18 can never give him credit for anything. One big thing u forget, he takes your crap for a job he is doing for FREE. You can't be more selfless than that; try it sometime. This rag is disgusting!

It's been happening all over the world in countries the US used to denigrate as third world or Sh** ... countries. We embrace you warmly.

Means even more folks showing up to the polls in '20. 😅

youre in big trouble

Slash and burn politicians. Thanks, GOP. RepublicansDestroyAmerica

Well---isn't kind of obvious? The party that lost makes its so hard and difficult for the new guys, that basically the losers win! And Democracy is gone!

Brennan and Comey?

Perspective | When happens when losers of elections won’t relinquish power?Perspective: Wisconsin Republicans are damaging the rule of law, even if their actions may be technically 'legal,' AriMelber writes for The Post AriMelber They have been doing this in NC with their super majority and midnight sessions for the past year. The media needs to cover this more and less about whether Hillary looked at Trump. AriMelber How can a Coup be constitutional and legal. This has to go to court. AriMelber Technically legal... but not very cool.
