I would like to respectfully request that after Friday January 20 2017

that the term POTUS be shortened to POS in view of the circumstances under which the person being inaugurated is assuming that position. Seems only fair.

"news" the fucking FBI sticking its ass in at the last minute, the polls and statistical models and exit polls and even Trump vs Hillary unfavoreable numbers on the day of the election, (Hers was 12. his was 21) all calling a Clinton win, (the fucking FL early voting that caused Trump to capture 57% of the votes on Nov 7th alone!) And then voila' Trump wins every teeny tiny county in the country to get past the electoral college

Don't even go there with "he won" because the vote was stolen and it is un-American to give this presidency any credibility.

part of the reason this man got the office is because he kept insisting the president was a foreigner and not able to be president. The office has been soiled, and we will not get a chance till 2020 to clean it up.

Especially since he lost to Hillary by 2.6 million+ in the popular vote count.

How 'bout "Resident trump?" Because at least some of the time (assuming the Electoral College lemmings along and anoints him), he'll be residing in the White House.

That way, you can refer to his ill-gotten gain "title" in mixed company while still being true to your convictions, and the idiot contingent probably won't be paying that much attention, so they'll miss it.

Fri Dec 9, 2016, 01:28 AM
Dec 2016

....another highly accurate description of what the slimey maggot will do to the Office of President and to our country if he is sworn in on January 20th: he will turn it into the "Point of Sale" for every Lobbyist, Foreign Government or Corporation etc to "Buy" what they want. And I refuse to ever refer to him as the President. He is illegitimate in my opinion, always will be, because he is NOT democratically elected by the people and only through manipulation of an election by Russia, Comey, Wikileaks and a system that allows voter disenfranchisement and non-paper ballots and machine counted (as opposed to human counted) votes, and provisional ballots that get disgarded and an archaic electoral system.

We need also a great name, or names for this plague that is about to set upon our nation, our world. What it is, I don't know.

But it will never be POTUS or President.
