Hey, that's a relief.

"We don't have to worry about Trump no more. And I said, 'That's good! One less thing.'"

Foxnews.com: Tom Hanks on election results: 'We are going to be all right'

The night was supposed to be all about him, but he made it about us.

Tom Hanks used the occasion of his tribute from the Museum of Modern Art’s film department on Tuesday night to deliver a Tom Hanks-ian monologue addressing the despair many in the entertainment industry feel about Donald Trump’s election as president. It was the climactic scene from the third act of many a Hanks movie, and it was just what the audience at MoMA needed to hear.

Hanks never mentioned Trump by name, but there was no mistaking the point of his remarks. He referenced “Schoolhouse Rock” and Bruce Springsteen, and he emphasized the sanctity of the Constitution no matter what. To wit:

“We are going to be all right. America has been in worse places than we are at right now,” Hanks said. “In my own lifetime our streets were in chaos, our generations were fighting each other tooth and nail, and every dinner table ended up being as close to a fist fight as human families will allow.

“We have been in a place where we have looked at our leaders and wondered what the hell they were thinking of. We’ve had moments with the administrations and politicians and senators and governors in which we have we’ve asked ourselves ‘Are they lying to us or do they really believe in this?’ That’s all right.

“We have this magnificent thing that is in place. It’s a magnificent document and it starts off with these phrases that if you’re smart enough you’ve memorized in school or you just read enough so that you know it by heart, or you watched those little things on ABC where they taught you little songs in order to sing, and the song goes (singing): ‘We the people/in order to form a more perfect union/established to ensure domestic tranquility/to provide for the common defense/promote the general welfare,’ and you go on and on. That document is going to protect us over and over again whether or not our neighbors preserve, protect, and defend it themselves.

“We are going to be all right because we constantly get to tell the world who we. We constantly get to define ourselves as Americans. We do have the greatest country in the world. We move at a slow pace. We have the greatest country in the world because we are always moving towards a more perfect union.

“That journey never ceases, it never stops. Sometimes, to quote a Bruce Springsteen song, it’s one step forward two steps back, but we still aggregately move forward. We who are a week into wondering what the hell just happened will continue to move forward. We have to choose to do so, but we will move forward because if we do not move forward. What is to be said of us?

“We will take everything that has been handed to us as Americans and we will turn our nation and we will turn the future and we will turn all the work that we have in before us into some grand thing of beauty,” Hanks said, to a standing ovation.

Actually, employing them is the best way to exert control over them. Read 'Team of Rivals' and study Trump's history. Why do you think he donated to democrat politicians? Do you think he did so because he agreed with their policies or because he needed politicians on his side in order to complete projects in states dominated by democrats?

Trust the guy - he knows what he is doing.

Or...the best way to control them is to not give them power. Romney is irrelevant, so why even elevate him to the national level again? His instincts were that Hillary was a better choice. I don't want someone like that having anything to do with our foreign policy.

Picking between Bolton and Romney should be an easy choice for him.

Well, Tom Hanks was kissing up to Zippy. He's now moved on to the next POTUS.

This may have been posted already, but it is good.

Talking w Cruz

To meet this weekend w Mitt Romney to discuss "governing moving forward" and potentially a role for Romney in Trump's Cabinet,

The meeting is the latest in a series of Trump's conversations and encounters with Republicans who did not support his candidacy in an effort to reunite the GOP following a divisive election that fractured party leaders past the Republican primary and into the general election.

Trump is meeting Thursday with more than a half-dozen potential candidates for top administration posts, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Trump has announced RNC chairman Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff and his campaign CEO Steve Bannon as chief strategist and senior counselor.

Trump will also meet with Nikki Haley, the South Carolina governor who was deeply critical of Trump during the Republican primary, who is under consideration for the secretary of state post and other cabinet positions

The President-elect will also meet with a pair of Fortune 500 CEOs, Oracle's Safra Catz and FedEx's Fred Smith, as well as Cincinnati Mayor Ken Blackwell and Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling, who is under consideration to helm the Treasury Department.

Pence tells congress to “buckle up,” and get ready

This Trump guy must think he is like some super chief executive or something.

And with just that schedule completed he'll have accomplished more than Barry the Wonder Putz. Wait until the ball really gets rolling... As Pence said, everyone needs to hang on tight.

more on potential NC voter fraud

http://www.wbtv.com/story/3371...ent-absentee-ballots

According to the McCrory campaign, the protest, filed by Bladen County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor McCrae Dowless and corroborated by a forensic handwriting expert, notes "shocking evidence resulting from a blatant scheme to try to impact the voting results of an entire county and perhaps even sway statewide and federal elections," including the gubernatorial race.

“With hundreds of fraudulent votes found in just one North Carolina county for a straight Democratic ticket, close examination of this election is required to make sure the true winner of the election is properly determined,” said Jason Torchinsky, legal counsel for the Pat McCrory Committee Legal Defense Fund. “The staggering evidence of voter fraud in Bladen County and the number of similar PACs that the North Carolina Democratic Party donated to shortly before the start of early vote requires close examination throughout the state.”

A multitude of suspicious write-in votes cast for Democrat Franklin Graham in the race for Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor appear to have “overtly similar” handwriting patterns on the ballots and witness signatures, according to the McCrory campaign.

Horace Munn, a representative with the Bladen County Improvement Assocation PAC, said Tuesday night that his group did nothing against the law. He explained that PAC volunteers went door-to-door during early voting to help those who wanted to fill out absentee ballots. Munn said absentee ballots are common in Bladen County because of "harassment and intimidation at the polls."

Munn said the volunteers provided a sample ballot, already filled out , for voters to use as they completed their own. Franklin Graham was written in on the sample ballot.

On several occasions, Munn said his volunteers manually filled out ballots for voters who requested it , something he explained they've done for years.

"From what I gather, the people that were voting at home couldn’t write in legible Franklin Graham, and so I guess they asked people to assist them and write that name in, so when they wrote that name in they probably did it for multiple people," Munn explained. "Now the state board of election is saying if you wrote his name in for them even though you didn’t bubble, you are supposed to sign it to say you assisted."

Bobby Lumley, Chair of Bladen Board of Elections, said that the fact those who assisted didn't sign the line saying they assisted is a real problem.

"I think there must be some truth because the state accepted it for investigation. I know there is voter fraud--in this case that cat's out of the bag so to speak," stated Lumley. "The absentee by mail program is being abused severely, we had over one thousand absentee ballots this time. It started growing with the PACs, when they got active, they go out and get everyone they can to sign a request for an absentee ballot."

Dozens of ballots appear to have been mostly straight ticket votes for Democrats in all other offices.

The protest filed by Dowless challenges the alleged fraudulent votes cast in the Solid and Water Conservation District Supervisor race in addition to all other votes cast in state, local and federal races.

The individuals who signed and filled out the ballots in question have received financial disbursements from the Bladen County Improvement Association PAC for "G.O.T.V.", according to disclosure reports filed with the State Board of Elections.

Munn said the volunteers were paid $25 or $35 depending on which area they worked to pay for their food and gas, like other G.O.T.V volunteers for the Presidential campaigns.

No, I meant Stephen. But yeah, I need to include Adam Baldwin too.

ETA: and a few more. Hmmm, guess they ain't all bad. Even Charlie Sheen is behind Trump!

this sounds odd

http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...mmigration-policies/

A majority of Hispanic voters said they “support Donald Trump’s immigration policies,” undercutting the narrative that enforcing immigration law will drive away Latinos, one exit poll found.
The poll, conducted from Nov. 9 to Nov. 10 by Zogby Analytics for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), found 58.5 percent of Hispanic voters favored President-Elect Donald Trump’s immigration policies, compared to 32.9 percent for failed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Of all voters, 57.4 percent said they support Trump’s immigration policies, with 38.4 percent backing Clinton’s.

Clinton promised to all but dissolve U.S. borders in her first 100 days in office, and told a South American bank in a private, paid speech she “dreamed” of a “hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.”

Pollsters also found “77.4 percent of Hispanic voters rated immigration as important or somewhat important in their voting decisions,” compared to 84.6 percent of all voters, and 87.8 percent of white voters.

Twice as many Hispanic voters think immigration enforcement is too lax than those who think it’s too strict (36.3 percent versus 18.3 percent).

Another poll, released on Election Day, found 54 percent of voters—and 52 percent of Hispanic voters—want annual immigration flows into the U.S. slashed in half or reduced to zero.

One of the all time stupidest comments ever to fall out of anyone's mouth. That document lays out a road map. If we aren't willing to actively fight to protect the values included in it, then we are truly screwed.

Just more ridiculous twaddle from the detached, delusional, Hollywood crew. Here's a hint Tom. Just shut up and go away.

Not at all. My neighbors are second generation Americans, hailing originally from Cuba. Our comments here pale in comparison to their comments on illegal immigration.

Again, the results of these polls are completely determined by 'who' specifically these folks talk to. And I (as well as Luis and Margarite) don't give a damn about the opinions of illegals on this topic.

Well, that's not surprising since Cubans typically vote more conservatively than other Hispanics.

That article is indeed at odds from everything we've been hearing though, that hardly any Latinos will vote for Trump (besides Cubans).
