My dad continues to amaze.

He is 86 years old, was a working class hero, served on city council in the small town I grew up in, played city league basketball, took me fishing, taught both my sister and I many many lessons which the "values" people have no concept of, and is now unable to walk and likely has beginning stages of dementia/alzheimers. But he said, and this is a direct quote, "That
trump is a no good bastard and his presidency won't work." Now he is a life long Democrat and he passed it all along to us, but lately, he has had many other things to deal with and hasn't seemed to care much about politics. He does now though. Again. So it looks like maybe trump at least brought back dad's fighting spirit.

Does Hillary have any legal recourse?

Can she sue comey and the FBI for obviously in part costing her the election? I mean nothing is really guaranteed in life but it seems like comey's actions were to deliberately cost her the election, especially considering that he sat on the Russian hacking thing.
It's obvious that the repukes won't do anything about it, so Hillary may have to do it herself.

Well folks I just called our "Senators"

Called them and asked politely but firmly that they instigate an immediate investigation into the "alleged" Russian hacking of the American election. In Ernst's case, I tried to appeal to her sense of "patriotism" since she's a veteran and seemingly wouldn't want an enemy nation taking things over. And in Grassley's call, I tried to appeal to his longevity and power he may have. I really don't think it will work, especially in Grassley's case, but I will not lie back and take this...stuff. If I'm going down, I'm going down fighting.

Greetings Iowa group.

I am the artist formerly known as Bluzmann57. After the attack on DU, I tried to recover my long since forgotten password (it was stored in the computer) and never did get a response from the administrators. So I just said "What the heck. May as well change my username." And so here we are. I am bitterly disappointed with the USA after the election and was ready just to give up. But since the two people I love more than anyone else are immigrants and we all want to stay here, I've decided to fight. By nearly any means necessary.
