POLITICALGATES
Most of you know the history very well. After a particularly busy time at Palingates, in the very important year of 2010, we started Politicalgates as our own blog in early 2011. It has been an amazing experience in so many ways, and blogging became a huge part of ourlives.
SECRET VIDEO RECORDINGS FROM A MORMON TEMPLE Please note that the above clip has also been published on "Liveleak." ORIGINAL POST: Just a few days ago, the USA once again discovered the power of secretly taken video. As a result of the leaking of the now famous "47 percent" video clip, Mitt Romney's campaign is in pieces, and politicians have been reminded that they should watch their mouthat any time.
2015 ~ POLITICALGATES In our Christmas post this year, I would like to present some videos again, and I would like to start with the traditional "Supermarket Christmas Adverts", which in the UK have been developed into some new form of art during the recent years. THEN ALONG CAME A HERO: THE OLIVER NORTH MYTH ~ POLITICALGATES Then along came Oliver North, the dashing ex-Marine, in full military regalia, a stamp collection of medals over his heart. Handsome and well-spoken, he oozed charisma and patriotism. This was a hero, people remarked at the time. When he spoke, it was difficult not to be moved. CHILDREN UNDER ATTACK: A CULTURE OF UNPUNISHED As one source tells us, according to a second informant, Ben Johnston, who worked for the company in Bosnia and Herzegovina, DynCorp employees and supervisors engaged in sex with 12 to 15 year old children, and sold them to each other as slaves.Ben Johnston ended up being fired, (the circumstances suggest it was a setup to discredit him). He was later forced into protective custody. THE CITIGROUP PLUTONOMY MEMOS: TWO BOMBSHELL DOCUMENTS However, Citigroup seems to have been successful in preventing a wider discussion about the memos, due to their legal actions. This needs to stop, as every American and every citizen in the western world needs to know what people like the analysts of Citigroup really think about the inequalities which exist within the societies, how the rich should preserve their domination, and what possible DONALD TRUMP GIVES $100K CHECK TO CONTROVERSIAL, SHADY The $100K check was the first presented of the night and the first of an implied “more to come” from Donald Trump.Or is it from the Donald J.

Right at this moment, there is a stand-off in Dallas between at least one attacker, identified as James Boulware, and police, and lots of shots with assault rifles have been fired, pipe bombs already exploded, and the situation is volatile.Fortunately, no police officers have been injured yet, which is almost a miracle.POLITICALGATES

We need to have faith in the strength of American democracy. The debate will probably just be as terrible as the last one, but at least it will soon be over. Starting at 09.00 ET, as usual.

This post will be very surprising for almost all of our readers, but unfortunately it was also inevitable at some point. Kathleen and I have decided that we won't continue Politicalgates, and that we will stop blogging. There are several reasons for this decision, and we have been thinking about this move for quite a long time. It was not an easy decision, as we have a wonderful community here, which has developed over several years, and which is also very unique. It has been a long and ride wild ride for us, which started already back in 2008. Most of you know the history very well. After a particularly busy time at Palingates , in the very important year of 2010, we started Politicalgates as our own blog in early 2011. It has been an amazing experience in so many ways, and blogging became a huge part of our lives. EVEN THOUGH MANY OF YOU WILL NOW FEEL SAD OR EVEN SHOCKED, THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS AS WELL. OUR WONDERFUL COMMUNITY CAN AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST. HOWEVER, YOU ALL HAVE TO "MIGRATE" TO A DIFFERENT PLACE. WE WOULD LIKE THIS NEW PLACE TO BE THE BLOG "NOMADIC POLITICS", WHICH IS A VERY ACTIVE POLITICAL BLOG, RUN BY OUR FRIEND NOMAD. YOU ALL KNOW NOMAD ALREADY VERY WELL. I HAVE SPOKEN TO HIM A SHORT WHILE AGO, AND HE IS VERY MOTIVATED TO CONTINUE WITH HIS BLOG. HE CERTAINLY WOULD ALSO BE HAPPY TO EXPAND HIS READERSHIP, AND HE TRULY DESERVES IT, AS HE CONTINUES TO PUBLISH EXCELLENT POSTS. AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, NOMAD IS PARTICULARY INTERESTED TO PROVIDE A CRITICAL VOICE DURING THESE VERY DIFFICULT TIMES. HE USES "DISQUS" ON HIS BLOG FOR THE COMMENTS AS WELL, SO THE TRANSITION WILL BE EASY. There certainly would be many things to say, but I am a bit lost for words right now. Kathleen and I hope that you will understand our decision. We need to get on with other things in our lives. Continuing this blog with other people in charge was never really an option for us, as we feel too emotionally attached to Politicalgates, and we do not want to worry all the time what is happening with the blog. We would like to have a proper conclusion, and believe that this is the best solution for our readers as well. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE NO PLANS TO DELETE THE BLOG. IT SHOULD STAY ONLINE AS A POINT OF REFERENCE. Just for the record, our decision to stop blogging has purely personal reasons, and nobody "forced" us to do this. :-) We would like to thank our contributors and readers who made this blog and this community a very special place over the years. We are very grateful that we had the opportunity to bring you all together. This blog has now come to an end, but we know that the community will survive and prosper. After all, we cannot allow the "bad guys" to be victorious, and we have to continue to fight for freedom and democracy, every day. We hope to occasionally catch up with you all at Nomad's blog in the comments in the future. Lots of love to all ofyou!

Labels: Happy Thanksgiving SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2016 ELECTION POST MORTEM WITH LEADFOOT, BELLA, L.A.’S HANDSOME MAYOR AND SOME OTHER SMART PEOPLE PHOTO FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES ESSENTIAL POLITICSPOST ELECTIONSYMPOSIUM
BY LEADFOOT
Last night, Bella and I had the privilege (see what I did there?) of attending the LOS ANGELES TIMES ESSENTIAL POLITICSPOST ELECTIONSYMPOSIUM.
I got an email inviting all subscribers to attend, and immediately ordered tickets. It was good I acted quickly, because the event was sold out within 5 minutes. Apparently we all need post election therapy here in L.A. SO I BUSTED BELLA OUT OF SCHOOL EARLY, AND WE DROVE DOWNTOWN. SHE MISSED LAST PERIOD, WHICH IS SOCIAL STUDIES. I FIGURED THIS EVENT WOULD BE MORE EDUCATIONAL ANYWAY. First up was Jill Darling, survey director of the Center for Economic and Social Research at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. That is a very long title that just means she conducted the poll that the LA Times printed before the election – the only major newspaper poll that predicted a Trump win. Since the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Presidential Election Daybreak Poll debuted in July, people on social media had asked “what is up with that LA Times poll though?” because it predicted Trump winning the election by 3 points. It was so different from the other polls, that observers thought the LA Times had to be wrong. Now the pollsters look like geniuses. So how did they do it? Darling said they “caught the wave of secret Trump voters” by not using the telephone. They went into communities in the swing states and set up panels, which they used to get to know people. They formed relationships and built trust, meeting face to face with the same people each week. While respondents might lie to a faceless pollster on the phone, they tell the truth to someone they know and trust. Darling was asked why the rest of us were so duped. She responded that “people were looking at predictor models, not scientifically sound poll results.” Everyone was looking at sites such as the New York Times and Nate Silver’s fivethirtyeight.com, which told us the percentage chance that Hillary would win, so we felt confident. For example, Nate Silver showed Trump had a 30% chance of winning, so we all thought that meant he would lose. But if someone told us we had a 30% chance of having a major earthquake, we would take that much more seriously. That still means that 3 times out of 10, there is a path to victory (or your house falling down). The lesson is – do not rely so heavily on the predictor model. Next up was a panel of political strategists, including: n Bill Burton, deputy White House Press Secretary during President Obama’s first term n Bill Carrick, a Democratic consultant who previously worked for Diane Feinstein and advised Loretta Sanchez’s Senatecampaign
n Tim Clark, Republican consultant and the Trump campaign’s California director n Sean Clegg, former deputy mayor of LA, and consultant for Senator-elect Kamala Harris n Mickey Kantor, a former Commerce secretary under President Bill Clinton n Rob Stutzman, who used to work in former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration, on the Romney campaign, and was a loud voice in the Never Trump movement First, they were asked why everyone in the world of politics and the media predicted the outcome so incorrectly. Tim Clark said that “people started to believe the media line that Trump didn’t have a ground game. We knew we were going to win. We knew we had North Carolina and Florida won. Our campaign was built on metrics, data and a strong ground game. The press corps and the Clinton campaign began to believe the media hype.” The Trump campaign decided to just keep quiet and not tip their hand. PROTESTS IN LOS ANGELES AGAINST DONALD TRUMP Next they were asked if a different Democratic candidate would have changed the outcome. Bill Burton responded, “There was a lot of anger out there. I don’t know that some other candidate could have won this race on the democratic side. Trump just did too good of a job appealing to the angry white people without college degrees in the rust belt. The Dems needed more white people (to vote) and I don’t think any candidate would have attracted them.” Other panelists noted that “Make America Great Again” was an economic message, and “Stronger Together” was not. Americans wanted an economic message during this election cycle. Instead, the Clinton team made their campaign about Trump -- his failures as a human, and as a candidate. They needed to focus much more on how to improve the lives of people feeling economic pain. “We need an economic message that appeals to people who make between $50,000 and $100,000 a year. We completely missed that group of voters,” saidMickey Kantor.
LORETTA GONZALEZ FROM THE AFL-CIO CHIMED IN TO NOTE, “WE OVERLOOKED WHY BERNIE APPEALED TO PEOPLE IN THE RUST BELT. HE HAD A GREAT MESSAGE ON TRADE AND UNIONS THAT APPEALED TO THOSE IN THE BLUE COLLAR LABOR FORCE. THE DNC CAST HIS MESSAGES ASIDE, AND THAT WAS A MISTAKE. THE SANDERS MOVEMENT WAS REAL! THOSE WERE PASSIONATE SUPPORTERS. IN RETROSPECT, HILLARY SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM THE VP CANDIDATE. AND HIS MESSAGE MUST NOT BE IGNORED GOING FORWARD. THE YOUTH HAS A VERY STRONG BS METER AND THEY DIDN’T TRUST HILLARY. THEY THOUGHT DEMOCRATS SHOULD NEVER SUPPORT TRADE AGREEMENTS THAT DON’T PROTECT THEWORKERS.”
Kantor agreed and said that “Michael Dukakis carried Iowa by 12 points in 1988 and Hillary lost it! She just did not appeal to rural communities at all.” The Clinton campaign spent more money in OH and PA than any presidential candidate in history. It simply didn’t matter. The message was wrong. Trump spent far less money than any candidate in recent history, and that fact appealed to his base. He was the first truly independent candidate to ever win the presidency. That said, if you look at the Senate candidates’ vote counts, people who voted for the GOP Senate candidates outweighed those who voted for Trump in FL, NC and OH. So the Republican voters weren’t entirely buying what Trump was selling. Many didn’t vote for him, but did vote for Portman, Rubio, etc. He is still the least popular candidate to ever win the presidency.

Clark implored the audience to understand that “We need true leadership – someone who talks to the American people in plain language and walks them through the plans in a way they can understand. They need to hear specifically how we are going to improve education, and how we are going to create jobs.” The crowd grew restless and it was clear that most disagreed that Trump had walked them through anything specific. But the point was taken that Hillary’s message went over most voters’ heads. ROB STUTSMAN DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP BECAUSE HE “HAD GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A CAMPAIGN THAT WAS RUN ON DENIGRATING WOMEN, MINORITIES AND THEDISABLED.”
WHEN ASKED IF TRUMP WILL ABANDON THE INFLAMMATORY RHETORIC OF THE CAMPAIGN ONCE IN OFFICE, EVEN THE TWO REPUBLICANS ON THE PANEL ADMITTED THAT “STEVE BANNON AND JEFF SESSIONS ARE A BAD SIGN.” KANTOR SAID “BANNON IS NOT A PERSON WHO IS WORTHY OF WORKING IN THEWEST WING.”
Kantor also said that Trump gave so many mixed messages that nobody has any idea what is actually going to happen. “Buy your popcorn and get in the seats, because this is going to be a wild show!” At one point Clark said that when his wife gets together with her “lady friends” -- and all the women in the room started booing, and he didn’t even get to finish the sentence. Apparently misogyny is contagious among GOP officials. Once he was allowed to speak again, Clark said the GOP was united, and is always united. They get together to support their candidate. He doesn’t know which way the Dems will go moving forward. “Will the Progressives or the Centrists lead the party in the next 4 years? And how do they get them all to come together and support the same candidate?” he asked. It was a rhetorical question, or at least one that nobody had the answer to, so we moved on. Finally, the panel discussed California. One strategist said that “California is now the center of the Progressive universe. We have a unified Progressive government that is committed to protecting Californians from anything Trump might do.” The issue is that our values here in California are at odds with fiscal responsibility. For example, we support immigrant rights, but that position is very expensive to us. We have to come to terms with that reality at some point. “That’s one of the reasons we put marijuana on the ballot. We want those tax dollars!” exclaimedGonzales.

The strategist panel was excused and the mayoral panel was brought out. Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles, kind of made me fall in love with him. He spoke with enthusiasm and passion (after just getting off a 16-hour flight from Qatar, where he was discussing the city’s Olympic bid), had on a very hip suit and shoes, and his answers were inspiring! He’s pretty easy on the eyes too. Remember his name. He has a future in the Democratic party! The other mayor was Kevin Faulconer, mayor of San Diego, who is a Republican. The first question was about Trump’s promise to cut off funding tosanctuary cities.
Mayor Garcetti responded, “The LAPD’s job is to keep citizens safe and to solve crimes. We are going to focus on that great responsibility. We cannot solve murders and rapes and other serious crimes if we are enforcing immigration law. We are not a city that will ever stop people and ask them to show us their papers. It’s just not ever going to happen here.” Mayor Faulconer answered, “In San Diego, we are building bridges with Mexico, not walls. Literally. We just opened a pedestrian bridge that crosses the border. We already have a fence in San Diego, we don’t need a wall. We aren’t focusing on any of that. We are focusing on how to build a mutually beneficial relationship with Tijuana and on creating jobs on both sides of the border.” Hmmmm, he sure doesn’t sound like a Republican. GARCETTI WENT ON TO SAY THAT “SANCTUARY CITIES” AREN’T EVEN A REAL THING. THERE IS NO DEFINITION ANYWHERE IN ANY CHARTER OR LEGISLATION. LOS ANGELES DOES NOT CONSIDER ITSELF AS A SANCTUARY CITY, SO WE DON’T KNOW HOW A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL AFFECT US YET, BUT WE DON’T THINK WE SHOULD LOSE ANY FEDERAL FUNDING. WE WILL PUSH BACK AGAINST ANY ATTEMPT TO CUT US OFF. “PICO UNION ISN’T FILLED WITH TERRORISTS, IT IS FILLED WITH HARD WORKING PEOPLE.” THE CROWD WENT WILD. MY HEART WAS AFLUTTER. Faulconer admitted he opposed Trump and wrote in Paul Ryan for president. He did back Trump on some policy issues though. “We would like to partner with the new administration on infrastructure. We agree that improvements are needed. We need better water infrastructure, to plan for autonomous vehicles, etc. However, we will fight the administration on climate change. We passed an aggressive climate change bill in San Diego, which focuses primarily on water recycling. In CA, climate change means wildfires and mudslides. It is a big deal to us and we will continue to fund programs to combatit.”
Garcetti has reached out to president elect Trump to try to arrange a meeting. “I want to let him know that values are important and we will never compromise on that. I left him a message to tell him I will call him out if he says something un-American, but otherwise, let’s get to work!” Do you think he will fit in my bag? I want to take him home. No? Ok, well at least I have never been so proud to be anAngeleno.
Asked if Trump’s presidency could affect LA’s bid for the Olympics, Garcetti said, “Our diversity is our greatest strength. Los Angeles is a reflection of the world. We have the people, and the experience. So nothing should derail our bid.” (I mean, ladies, am Iright?!)
ASKED ABOUT CALEXIT, BOTH MAYORS SAID IT IS A BAD IDEA. GARCETTI ANSWERED, “I LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND I WANT TO MAKE ITS POLITICAL WINDS BLOW FROM THE WEST.” AND WITH THAT, I OFFICIALLY DROPPED MYSUPPORT OF CALEXIT.
Next up was a panel of LA Times political reporters. Their most interesting comment was that they were shocked by people’s reactions to Trump all over the country. They witnessed first-hand the power of celebrity and showmanship. People reacted to him like he was a rock star. Women tried to touch him. They screamed and fainted. Everyone took selfies. Even the men. Trump also resembled a stand up comedian. People were laughing as much as they were cheering. He hooked them by entertaining them. They felt that they already knew him because he was a universal TV celebrity, so they were comfortable with him. They liked the way he spoke to them as much as the things he said. On top of that, the reporters said that many men they talked to “voted with their middle finger.” They resent college educated liberals, whom they thing look down on them. “So many people we talked to, didn’t care whether Trump was qualified. They just wanted to stick it to the liberals.” Finally, it was time for the question and answer session. We had to write our questions on cards, and pass them to the front. I submitted 4. Bella submitted one. One of my questions was read first: “Do you see any of the electors refusing to cast votes for Trump?” The political reporters said no. “I will never say never, but I don’t see this going anywhere. There is no incentive for other states to do it.” Bella’s question was read next, and the moderator said the question was from a 13-year-old (we wrote that on the card.) She asked “Why do you think so many women voted for Trump after he showed women suchdisrespect?”
The LA Times political reporters said that women, like every other group, are not one issue voters. No female candidate ever gets 100% of her gender to vote for her. Women, all along, had negative views about Hillary. They were willing to overlook things that Trump said because Hillary was paid $250,000 a pop for giving speeches to Goldman Sachs, and that turned them off more than Trump did. His female supporters were mostly voting against her, insteadof for him.
Bella was not at all satisfied with that answer. As we walked out of the auditorium, several people stopped to ask her if she was the famous 13-year-old (the crowd was mostly north of 50. Bella and I were easily the youngest people in attendance). She said yes, and then talked to strangers about how that answer didn’t sit well with her. “Women should frown upon anyone who disrespects other women. Even if they didn’t like Hillary, they could have still not voted for Trump. It’s possible to leave the President part blank!” I beamed with pride as I scanned the room for mayor Garcetti, but he had already left. Oh well, all in all, it was well worth cutting school to attend the event. We both learned a lot, and felt motivated to write letters to reporters, call our congress people, and maybe even run for office one day.+++

Angeles Times Essential PoliticsPost Election Symposium TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2016 THE BEST COMMENTARY ABOUT THE ELECTION, AND THE BEST MOVIEBY PATRICK
Well, what is there to say during these trying times. Not much, really! Nothing is going to stop the upcoming disaster, and although Donald Trump apparently promised that he won't lead the USA into chaos straight away, but will keep a few pieces of civilization, there is not much hope. One could of course be cynical and could say "well, maybe it is good that America will finally see what right wing policies REALLY look like"....but then, too much damage will be done. A good European comparison to Trump is actually Silvio Berlusconi , the former Italian Prime Minister, who also was a successful, boastful businessman, who liked the look of scantily dressed ladies, had strong ties to the mafia, was himself deeply corrupt - and finally left Italy in a terrible state. Pretty much a carbon copy of "the Don." OK, as promised in the title of this post, I present to you the best commentary about Donald Trump's election that I could find - CLICK TO READ, IT REALLY IS A "MUST-READ": OK, well, that was probably a bit one-sided, this analysis, haha, but in general I can highly recommend THIS WONDERFUL BLOG CALLED "MEDIUM" which really deserves a larger readership! :-) The best movie? Well, there is no contest: Of course it has to be"IDIOCRACY"...!
This little movie from 2006, which Fox tried to bury back then, but which then became a "cult hit" on DVD, provides the perfect narrative for the upcoming Trump-presidency. I had to think of this movie immediately when our dear friend Leadfoot commented on the previous post: _"THE REASON THAT PEOPLE LIKE MY FAMILY IN OHIO WATCH FOXNEWS IS BECAUSE IT IS PACKAGED FOR LESS EDUCATED PEOPLE. THEY LIKE TO FEEL ENTERTAINED. THEY NEVER WATCHED HILLARY SPEAK BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDS SHE IS USING. HER VOCABULARY MAKES THEM FEEL STUPID AND INFERIOR, SO THEY HATE HER." _ Some of you might not have seen this movie yet. You can find quite a lot of clips on youtube, even the full movie (in bad quality, though), and here are some examples:CLIP 1:
CLIP 2:
CLIP 3:
If you have the chance to see the full movie, I can only highly recommend it - the DVD is not too expensive. I would like to close by quoting yet another comment by Leadfoot on the previous post - because reality is always better than fiction: _"IT IS THE SAME THING THAT HAS PLAYED OUT IN MY OWN FAMILY. I HAVE ONE FOOT IN L.A. AND ONE FOOT IN OHIO, WHERE MY FAMILY LIVES. THEY ALL VOTED FOR TRUMP BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR AND STUPID. BUT, AND I HAVE SAID THIS A MILLION TIMES HERE NOW, SO SORRY.... THE ECONOMIC FRUSTRATION THEY FEEL IS THEIR OWN GODDAMN FAULT. THEY ARE LAZY. PEOPLE WERE TOLD 30 YEARS AGO THAT WE WERE MOVING TOWARDS TECHNOLOGY, AND AWAY FROM MANUFACTURING. THEY WERE TOLD TO EDUCATE OR RE-EDUCATE THEMSELVES, AND THEY CHOSE NOT TO. THEY CHOSE NOT TO LEAVE THEIR SMALL TOWNS FOR PLACES WHERE THERE ARE MORE OPPORTUNITIES. AND THEY ARE PISSED OFF AT THOSE OF US THAT DID. I AM SICK OF BEING TOLD BY MY COUSINS I AM A SNOBBY BITCH BECAUSE I HAD THE FORESIGHT TO MOVE AWAY AND DID THE HARD WORK OF GETTING 2 COLLEGE DEGREES. THEY RESENT ME BECAUSE I BECAME MORE THAN THEY DID IN LIFE. AND IT IS THEIR OWN FAULT. I AM DONE. I WILL NOT EVEN LISTEN TO WILLFUL IGNORANCE AND FAKE REALITY ANYMORE. DONALD FEELS LIKE THE WORLD FROWNS UPON HIM, JUST LIKE MY FAMILY DOES. AND THEY ARE RIGHT. THAT MAKES THEM ANGRY. BUT THEY FAIL TO TAKE ANY PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. IDIOTS!"_ Very well said, Leadfoot! Good night, and good luck!+++

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2016 THE REACTIONS OF GERMAN POLITICIANS TO DONALD TRUMP'S SUCCESSBY PATRICK
German politicians had some interesting reactions to Donald Trump'svictory.
Angela Merkel had a very distinct response. She went on to praise the "old and honorable" American democracy in great length and afterwards provided her money quote: _"ON THE BASIS OF THESE VALUES, I offer a close cooperation to the upcoming President of the United States, Donald Trump."_Watch:
The German chancellor is much braver than many people know. She also had no hesitation to sharply criticize Russian President Vladimir Putin in common press conferences, while he was standing next to her - in particular in regard to the Ukraine. Putin did not like this atall.
Imagine a common press conference with Merkel and Trump. This could get interesting in the future. Germany's foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier (Social Democrats) made little attempt to hide his feelings: Germany's minister for the defense, Ursula von der Leyen, whose father was a conservative politician, also made some interesting points: German politicians are not afraid to speak out against authoritarian leaders. Donald Trump will not like the Germans very much. Well, at least he is proud of his "German blood" - whatever that is: Posted by Patrick at 7:57 PM0 comments

ursula von der leyen WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2016 THE DISASTER, IT HAS HAPPENEDBY PATRICK
Well, it is happened, the Americans have elected a vindictive racist narcissistic moron into the most important position in the world, with the power the blow the whole world up, and what could now possibly gowrong?
I am very angry, because I believe that many sides are to blame for this catastrophic result, and as I am not connected to any US party, I feel free to speak my mind. This has been in the making for decades, and ever since the word "Liberal" became an insult in the eyes of many, the American democracy has been in great danger. Nobody knows this better than the Germans. In Germany, we were once confronted with the fact that the minds of a large part of the population had been poisoned, and these people then also motivated a lot of other people to vote for an evil person. The results were catastrophic, as well all know. The parallels to Nazi-Germany are too obvious. In Germany, it was the right-wing Hugenberg press-empirewhich made Adolf
Hitler respectable, and in the USA, it was Fox News in particular as well as many right-wing radio shows all around the country which made extreme right-wing views respectable. Yes, this election was manipulated, by Russian hackers, Wikileaks and Mr. Comey, but it is a huge failure of the political system as a whole that a flawed candidate like Donald Trump was possible in the firstplace.
Donald Trump cannot act within a democracy, because his twisted and sick mind does not allow it. He can only function as a dictator. If he does not become the "American Putin", I will eat my hat. Moderate Republicans should have stopped Trump, but they were far too self-absorbed and could not commit to one strong candidate to run against Trump. Then, the #NeverTrump people could not bring themselves to vote for Hillary and wasted their votes as a result. The Democrats obviously lost their connection to a large part of their traditional base, which is terrible. Not enough was also done against the destruction of the middle class - now many of them turned to an extremist. I am also very upset that Barack Obama continued to expand the surveillance state, with the naive belief that this monstrous surveillance machine would only be used for justified actions. It should have been more than obvious that this machine can also be abused, and I am pretty certain that Donald Trump's domestic enemies will get "first impressions" of this fact pretty soon. With the available surveillance technology, virtually everybody is an open book, as all communications can be easily monitored, and real privacy has become virtually impossible. Good luck with that. This might not be a popular view, but I really don't care, sorry: It was a huge mistake in my opinon to construct and expand this huge surveillance machine. It will soon be in the hands of Donald Trump and his ruthless extreme right-wing allies. They surely will put it to"good use."
What else is there to say? There really is little hope. It will not be bad, it will be worse. Many Americans will suffer, and probably many people abroad as well. History tells us that people like Donald Trump are hell-bent to start wars, and I do not believe that Trump will bethe exception.
Democracy in the USA will soon become a travesty. This is inevitable. The most important features, like the free media and free speech, will be under real threat, no doubt about it, The media failed as well, as we have often discussed in the comments. They can now become his claqueurs, because much more won't be possibleany more.
The prophecy by H. L. Mencken from 1920, it finally became true: > The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before > small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way > through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. > But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged > chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality > cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man > who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who > can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a> virtual vacuum.
>
> The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy > is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the > inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some > great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their > heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a > downright moron. Rebecca Schoenkopf at Wonkette has some harsh words for her fellowcitizens.
Many people don't know yet what will hit them. They will know itpretty soon.
I feel very sorry for the good Americans who are now caught up in this mess. This should have been avoided. Posted by Patrick at 8:33 PM0 comments

presidential election 2016 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2016 TODAY IS THE DAY WHEN DONALD TRUMP WILL LOSE AND WE ALL WILL WIN! NO, HE WON'T BE PRESIDENT, DON'T WORRY!BY PATRICK
"THE DAY" HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! HURRAY! THE END OF DONALD TRUMP ISNEAR!
There is so much we learned during this crazy election!FOR EXAMPLE:
- We learned how easy it is to manipulate a very large part of thepopulation
- We learned that it is actually possible to hide your tax returns while running for president - We learned how somebody like Hitler could actually come to power (on a side note, the Nazis received 43,9% in the last "free" electionsin March 1933
,
which will probably be very close to Donald Trump's result) - We learned that even somebody like Glenn Beck is able to finally"see the light"
- We learned that most of the GOP politicans are disgusting cowards who would endorse satan if their political lives depended on it - We learned that right-wingers like Ben Howeare actually
able to realize that somebody like Trump would rule as a dictator and are not afraid to speak out against him (however, they will start to love other right-wing scumbags again pretty soon, sadly) - We learned that democracy is very fragile, and that even after this election democracy in the USA will continue to be under threat - We learned that politics in the USA is not a joke, but deadly serious, especially if you elect the person who will be able to blowup the world
We learned of course many, many more things - maybe you can add more examples in the comments. IT WILL BE AN EXCITING DAY! LET'S PRAISE DEMOCRACY AND ENJOYOURSELVES!
