He won didn't he?
I rest my case.
Not that I approve of him or even like him but he did win now didn't
he?
So one must conclude that "We the people" spoke.
Get over it.
You really don't care about facts or the lies your boy told before you voted for him, do you?

Nasty.
Beneath you.
Anger at Hilda's loss, & Trump's win is spilling over upon us (those who voted against her).
The party of tolerance needs to re-learn tolerance.
We're not evil.
OK....I'm not sure about you, but I know I'm not evil.

Why can't you Trump supporters get over the election campaign? Why do you keep bringing up Hillary, don't you know she lost?
Tom
In this particular case, I'm not discussing her, but rather the reactions of her supporters.
They cannot be accurately identified in any other way.
To call them "Democrats" would include those who voted for Trump or not at all.

We will not excise her from political discussions.

Russian ambassador Andrey Karlov shot dead

Excerpt:

"Russia's ambassador to Ankara has been killed in a gun attack in the Turkish capital, Ankara, Russia's foreign ministry said.

Andrey Karlov was several minutes into a speech at a photo exhibition when he was shot in the back multiple times on Monday evening.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova made the announcement of Karlov's death in a live televised statement.

The gunman was a 22-year-old off-duty police officer who worked in the Turkish capital, Ankara's mayor said."

I'm not sure what to think yet. It all seem a little strange.

Thoughts?
politics and bullets are a bad combination

I wonder the next step

Translation from the Russian news:

In Turkey, the number of detainees in the murder of the Russian ambassador in Ankara has increased to five. Earlier it was reported that the questioning had been detained the mother and sister of the killer.
Turkish security services also detained his father and two relatives of 22-year-old Mevlüt Mert Altyntasha, reports "Interfax" referring to the Turkish news agency "Anadolu". Also searching for two suspected accomplices of terrorists, Turkish media reported.
Previously there is information that the killer had two accomplices. She checked their searches are conducted.
According to the village headman Sske where the killer's family lived, they moved there about two months ago and have not had time to draw attention to themselves. Father terrorist was engaged in private trade, little is known about the family. The village continued detention of persons suspected of having links with the killer.

A rumor (I just started) has Hillary behind this.
No intelligence agencies have denied it.
Obama did threaten Putin a couple days ago. He said,
“Our goal continues to be to send a clear message to Russia or others not to do this to us, because we can do stuff to you,” Obama said. “Some of it we do publicly, some of it we will do in a way that they know but not everybody"

Yeah, don't mess with Obama.

Pretty good rumor, eh?
With the tension heightened by both Hilda & Obama, his threat looks pretty dumb.

There is such a thing as being too lenient towards those who support evil.

And there is also such a thing as "poking the hornet nest".
Wisdom requires knowing the difference.
Obama blundered in making a threat which accidentally (IMO) gave the appearance of being carried out.
It could be very useful to Putin in further portraying Americastan as a threat, thereby enhancing his control.

I play go.
And important strategy which translates to the real world is that you don't pick fights unless you expect to profit from them.
To fight without a plan or expectation of benefit solely because one believes in fighting is stupid.
Obama seemed to understand this by resisting calls to attack Iran.
But this time he failed.
