Ohio voted for in hopes of getting him out of the state.

We did that with Obama.  Again, be careful what you wish for...

Harambe dead. We canz vote for dead apes?

Unconfirmed reports are that somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 people nationwide, wrote Harambe in for President.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Smart folks.

It was smart.  Same thing as leaving the presidental race blank, without the risk of some recount worker deciding that you left it blank by accident and really meant to vote for Clinton.  (questionable ballots are always awarded to the democrat)

A bunch of D-list celebrities made a video begging the Republican electors to vote for anyone but Trump:

I wonder how many of them said all this when Hillary Clinton was running in the primary, or the general? Or about Obama in 2012?  Or about either of the Democratic candidates in 2008?

I think you know the answer.

Subverting the electoral process is only advocated when it suits their ends.

Fixed that for you. These are "The ends justify the means" people. You will catch some of them openly admitting it, at times.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

WHO ARE these people?

I recognize a few of these low level celebs from The West Left Wing and MASH (the years have NOT been kind to Hot Lips  [barf]  ), but the rest must be from public access cable or Dancing with the Stars.

It all won't matter soon. Paul Krugman has alluded to "Trump doing the same thing Bush did", initiating a 9/11 magnitude attack to draw attention away from his illegitimacy.

Just caught this on the radio while driving in.

The dude is now acting "shocked" that Trump supporters might not like the idea of him not casting the vote as per the election results of his state.

Oh, and apparently he's a firefighter and 9/11 responder, and is "scared" because Trump supporters are willing to attack "emergency responders".

Nevermind that they're attacking him for his political views and stated actions, and probably didn't know that he's a firefighter until he brought it up.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

All I can say is the state party group needs to make sure this person is never chosen for anything else ever again and the person/people who recommended him should get the same.

Wait. Aren't we entering the new, fascist era of BrexiTrump? I thought we were going to start punishing people with concentration camps, and medieval tortures, and the like.
