That’s not the half of it. Steven Bannon (Trump’s brain?) arranged for Nigel Farage and a man named Raheem Kassam to have a photo-op with him in Trump Tower. This was Bannon The Nazi, Trump’s “golden boy”. Kassam is a Breitbart writer and former Farage aide who told Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, to “tape her mouth shut – and her legs, so she can’t reproduce”. First Minister Sturgeon had suffered a devastating miscarriage and lost a child. ---

No snark intended, **Steve1** , but if you’re gonna say somebody said something that loathsome, you gotta cite it. ETA: It Googles. There’s a hit there that suggests Blightbart defended him on it, but I ain’t touching it. Mental hygiene. So, maybe not. ---

Scrolling up, I notice that someone quoted **Drunky Smurf** addressing me. I don’t know what he said, as I don’t read what the guy writes. However, apparently I was remiss in not informing him that he is on my ignore list, and thus I will not read what he says. He is basically useless to this board. He doesn’t even work as the type of person you need to try and understand. You’re probably getting too drunk for your own good, seeing as you become too incoherent at times. But, hey, it’s your life, and you can do what you want. I’ve decided to focus more on convincing those that are open to being convinced, and not the people who have been here for years but still haven’t changed their tune. ---

> [@Stranger\_On\_A\_Train](#): > > [Here](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38045852) is an illustration of why the media should ignore Trump’s inane tweeting and focus on reporting actual scandals. A day after Trump settled the fraud suit against Trump University for $25M (the actual amount that students were defrauded is estimated to be upwards of $40M) the media gets distracted by his response to VP-Elect Pence getting lectured by the cast of _Hamilton_. > > This is not normal. > > Stranger The problem is, no one really cared about the scandal news even before the tweet. Yeah, it was bad, but it was something we already knew would happen. I don’t think you can force people to care about things they don’t care about. If this is what they care about, then I think we should use this. It’s him trying to destroy freedom of speech, again. It’s him showing how he can’t handle the job. He actually said that the theater should be a safe space–that’s really useful against his followers who hate safe spaces. I’m not saying we ignore these other things. I’m saying we have to pay attention to what people think is important. Literally anything can be a weapon against him. And, in the meantime, we need to be able to keep our spirits up, and laughter can help with that. ---

Trump is tweeting today that the only reason he lost the popular vote is due to millions of people voting illegally. ---

At least the press has stopped beating around the bush and is finally just calling him a liar: CNN: Trump falsely claims ‘millions of people who voted illegally’ cost him popular vote NY Times: President-elect Donald J. Trump said on Sunday that he had fallen short in the popular vote in the general election only because millions of people had voted illegally, leveling his claim — despite the absence of any such evidence — as part of a daylong storm of Twitter posts voicing anger about a three-state recount push. Washington Post: Trump makes baseless claim that millions ‘voted illegally’ for Clinton ---

It’s a mystery why this recount would make Trump so angry. Even Clinton’s team admits it’s extremely unlikely to come to anything. But it’s really gotten under his skin, and when something gets under this piece of filth’s skin, he Tweets up a storm. ---

4 years of this, we’re in for. I hope the 26% of eligible voters who voted for him are happy. I mean, even if his statistically impossible claim were true, his supporters are still nowhere near the majority they think they are. ---
