Clinton supporters see shrinks.

"A number of colleges and universities have set up programs to help their students deal with the pain and suffering of Hillary’s loss to Trump, including the use of crisis counselors and other therapeutic practices. I cannot imagine that any academician would have entertained such responses had Hillary won the election. Is this an implicit admission that Hillary supporters are emotionally and psychologically disturbed people in need of therapy?"

I've always said leftism was a mental illness. Nobody in their right mind can advocate the philosophy of the worst mass murderers in history. Leftist meltdown.

Clinton campaign blames James Comey for loss. We'll never know how the election would have played out without his 11th hour comments.

Comey intervention on behalf of Trump could well go the other way next time.

Clinton is incompetent as well as evil.

Emails link Clinton to Muslim Brotherhood.

Accurate Los Angeles Times poll shows events impacted election, but Trump was always close and might have won anyway. The race was always within the margin of error. The media was not wrong about the polls; they lied.

Assassination threats from the violent left flood Twitter.

Twitter empowered Trump as demagogue.

From the Forgotten Man:

"Capital, however, as we have seen, is the force by which civilization is maintained and carried on. The same piece of capital cannot be used in two ways. Every bit of capital, therefore, which is given to a shiftless and inefficient member of society, who makes no return for it, is diverted from a reproductive use; but if it was put into reproductive use, it would have to be granted in wages to an efficient and productive laborer. Hence the real sufferer by that kind of benevolence which consists in an expenditure of capital to protect the good-for-nothing is the industrious laborer. The latter, however, is never thought of in this connection. It is assumed that he is provided for and out of the account. Such a notion only shows how little true notions of political economy have as yet become popularized."

Capital.

"There is an almost invincible prejudice that a man who gives a dollar to a beggar is generous and kind-hearted, but that a man who refuses the beggar and puts the dollar in a savings bank is stingy and mean. The former is putting capital where it is very sure to be wasted, and where it will be a kind of seed for a long succession of future dollars, which must be wasted to ward off a greater strain on the sympathies than would have been occasioned by a refusal in the first place. Inasmuch as the dollar might have been turned into capital and given to a laborer who, while earning it, would have reproduced it, it must be regarded as taken from the latter."

Saving benefits yourself and your fellow man.

"There always are two parties. The second one is always the Forgotten Man, and any one who wants to truly understand the matter in question must go and search for the Forgotten Man. He will be found to be worthy, industrious, independent, and self-supporting. He is not, technically, "poor" or "weak"; he minds his own business, and makes no complaint. Consequently the philanthropists never think of him, and trample on him."

Yep.

Judge Napolitano rediscovered the forgotten man.

Trump is being lassoed by the establishment.

"We have already learned that the transition team has approached Jamie Dimon, the CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase. He was offered the position of Secretary of the Treasury. Anyone who thinks that this would be an improvement over the former CEO’s from Goldman Sachs is living in a fantasy world."

Evidence of Trump's deal with the establishment published several days before the election.

"It’s virtually established by now that US Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Comey not to release his letter to Congress. But Comey did it anyway. If he had not, and a scandal would – inevitably – spring up after the US presidential election, Lynch would be perfectly positioned to deny she knew anything, and Comey would be on the firing line.
Lynch is a certified Clinton machine asset. In 1999 then-President Bill Clinton appointed her to run the Brooklyn US Attorney’s office. She left in 2002, taking the private practice revolving door. She was back to the Brooklyn office in 2010, urged by Obama. Five years later she became the 83rd US Attorney General, replacing the dodgy Eric Holder.
A plausible case has been made that Comey took his fateful decision based on a serious internal revolt at the FBI – led by key people he trust — as well as being egged-on by his wife.
Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you at risk?
Yet one of the key questions that refuse to go away is why the FBI waited until 11 days before the US presidential election to supposedly “find” an email trove on certified sexting pervert Anthony Weiner’s laptop."

It was timed to benefit Trump. The deep staters do as they want, usually based on what the richest want.

"The business source, although unsympathetic to the Clinton machine, especially in foreign policy, is a realpolitik practitioner, not a conspiracy theorist. He is adamant that, “the FBI reversal could not have happened without orders above the President. If the Masters [of the Universe] have changed their mind, then they will destroy Hillary.”"

But the outcome, so close, could not have been predetermined. They boosted him, but they didn't hand it to him.

"He adds, “they can make a deal with Donald just like anyone else; Donald wins; the Masters win; the people think that their voice has been heard. And then there will be some sort of (controlled) change.”"

I hope it's change for the better for once.

"What’s paramount in the whole soap opera is the faith in the US political system — as corrupt as it may be — must endure. That mirrors the faith in the US dollar; if confidence in the US dollar fails, the US as a hegemonic financial power is no more."

The war for the dollar at home.

Pat Buchanan advises Trump to speak about inclusiveness while aggressively pursuing the agenda that got him elected.

Trump may have had a bigger and better impact if he had lost on principle instead of being co-opted by the establishment.

Trump backs off campaign promises.

Soros funds anti-Trump protests.

Leftists embrace secession.

Celebrities who promised to leave the country if Trump won.

Workers defeated elitists.

Trump's victory is a repudiation of Obama. Let's hope Trump carries out that will of the people.

I doubt Obama will fire Comey now.

The right has never embraced libertarianism because it's not rightwing.
