I'm over this whole "not my president" BS.....

[fNord]

HE IS.

Don't get me wrong. I loath this hypocritical, xenophobic, America selling out, incompetent, racist, lying, pice of dried out turd on a bad stretch of rt666 as much as the next sane person. However, he IS our president. (I'm speaking for us Americans, not the rest of the world.....).

He IS the head of the Executive Branch of our government, the Commander in Cheif of our armed forces, and is who represents ALL of us to the rest of the world. That sucks! I don't mean for twenty bucks in the back alley kind of sucks (and that's bad)...I mean sucks like Nile silt encrusted hippopotamus balls....SUCKS!

Even still, What the fuck America?

If your house is on fire, sitting in your living room with your eyes closed doesn't make the problem go away. For that you need an extinguisher, and/or perhaps the number to your local FD. In a pinch, 911 still works.

I too would like to click my heals three times and say "there's no place like America," (and I've tried.) Alas, when I open my eyes, well, where all still right in the here and now. SUCKS!

The first step to solving any problem is recognizing it exists.

This Asshat IS the president of the United States of America.

Now, if we can all identify the problem, we can begin to solve it. Grassroots campaigns, letters to the media, clogging the phone lines and e-mail accounts of our local and federal politicians........even threatening they're jobs if that fail to act......

We can't hide under the bed counting, hoping the lighting is getting further away.

No mater how fucked this all seems, we are still living in a Democracy! When it's all said and done, We The People are the bosses of them, but We The People must always have the courage to remember that.



Let's put truth to work!

[JI7]

1. he is illegitimate

[njhoneybadger]

50. He is illegitimate and not my president

Needs to said loud and clear every day until he's out. The election was stolen and they need to be reminded everyday.

[ck4829]

2. Trump only has the power we agree to let him have

And that is something that is constructed every day, not once every four years.

The more people who refuse the notion of "Trump does X, says X, or advocates X... and I agree with that.", then the less power he has.

"Not my President" is simply another form of this refusal.

[fNord]

6. Protest is one thing....

But this ass is a trickster, and we openly turn our backs on him, we're giving him more space to abuse power. I dig the concept of the protest, but the statement is wrong. This Pig (Expletive deleted) unfortunately IS our president. We can't fight lies with lies, we must face the truth.

10. It's one tactic out of many

And it's a continually constructed thing... on both sides. Being president is more than getting electoral votes. Is he the president even when he acts "Unpresidential" (or unpresidented)? Is he president when he doesn't stand up for all Americans? Is he president when he declares the media an enemy? Can he really still be OUR president when he fosters paranoia against OUR fellow citizens and the residents of this country?

To me, it seems like the protesters aren't the only ones saying "Not my President", the man who is saying this the loudest is Trump himself...

[fNord]

14. I have personally marched in many a protests.....

From D.C. to San Francisco.....but I also haven't missed an election(and I mean any, from presidential down to town council) since I was 18. Sitting out the big battle and then organizing to bitch that your team doesn't agree seems counterintuitive. In 2016 only 55% of registered voters bothered to show up. Thus, this apathy goes back to before 45 was "elected."

Yes, he's dismantling our freedoms, and in real time, HD. He can't find a coherent tweet with two aids and a flashlight. And let's not forget, he doesn't mind committing any kind of crime, including, it would seem, High Treason! Then bragging about it in public, hours before claiming he has no knowledge on the subject, but the bastards who are claiming he is in the wrong are "Fake News"

So in response to all of that, we should, what, play hooky from work/school for a day and preten were Guy Fawkes wile walking down the street next to people who didn't even vote and say, "fuck it, I refuse to claim him?"
Or should we write/call/e-mail the justice department and our congressman/senators and demand this crook be held accountable for the bullshit he thinks he can get away with.

If we're going to gather in the thousands in one place or another, shouldn't it be on the steps of the Capital Building and the Supreme Court to demand criminal proceedings begin, instead of down Constitution Ave declaring we've now decided to turn a blind eye to a Huge Fucking Problem.....

I don't want it to be true, but just declaring 45's "not my president" doesn't make it so. I want real change, not what went down with 43. A lot of talk bitching, but no change.

Btw, that fucker Wasn't my president. He was appointed, not elected. This Ass (unfortunately) was. Allegedly........

[bravenak]

3. Fuck him

[BlueMTexpat]

5. + a million or so! eom

[nikibatts]

17. THAT!

[Docreed2003]

42. And that should end the discussions

That is my response to all things Trump! Crass? Maybe. But that's how I feel! Fuck him and his minions! FUCK HIM! Period! End of discussion!!

[MyNameGoesHere]

4. You're more than welcome to claim him

As your president. I just don't know when we started doing king worshipping in the USA. That's what your saying right? Accept the man just because of a title? He'll let's lower the bar and elect a serial killer. As long as they have a title we must accept them. Right?

[fNord]

8. Wrong.....

Last edited Sat Feb 25, 2017, 09:45 PM - Edit history (1)

This isn't king worship, its citizen worship!

Remember Nixon?

I'm just saying calling a human pig (expletive deleted) a pig doesn't make it so. So let's not pretend this asshat doesn't wield the power he has. HE does. Let's collectively work to remove him from power.

This isn't Merlin defeating Morgana. Forgetting won't solve the problem. Besides, that bit of self induced ignorance came at a heavy cost too....

*edit for excessive language

[TrekLuver]

23. Nobody is "pretending" anything. Its a free country for now if you want to have him...go ahead

do you really care if people say "not my President"? I think there are other things we need to focus on ...not this nonsense.

[HughBeaumont]

32. Hey, why not? The Electoral College chose a serial sexual assaulter . . . .

. . . next step up, and all that . . . .

[demotux]

7. Hopefully, he'll be no more ...

... President soon. That stupid a** needs to be impeached! He's an abomination to the whole planet!

[fNord]

9. I'm with you 1000%. N/t

[cwydro]

11. I like this movement.

I do see your point.

However, I think these protests will get under his skin.

And I still have not been able to accept him as our president.

[Are_grits_groceries]

12. NOPE! NEVER!

I will not cede one ounce of authority or anything to that illegitimately elected moron.
NOT.GONNA.DO.IT.

I will fight him and his minions every inch of the way. They are racist, misogynistic jackasses who want to take any power and/or legitimacy away from anybody who does not agree with his agenda.

I can identify the problem right now. There has been monkey business all over the place to install someone who has ties and economic interests in gawd knows how many other places. He will ALWAYS act in a way to benefit himself. ALWAYS.

So you are more than welcome to look for the problem. You can form committees and whatever to your hearts content.
I will be working with the many groups who are already taking action and in the streets, corridors of power, or wherever.

So if you are tired of 'not my president,' either put cotton in your ears or go away.

[NCTraveler]

16. What you said.

[Paladin]

34. +1000. (nt)

[Stellar]

13. I will give him as much respect as they gave Obama - NONE

He and his Peep's can KMA.

[NCTraveler]

15. This is a racist piece of shit who went eight years...

Questioning the legitimacy of Obama.

Trump is not my President.

[fNord]

18. The first step to solving any problem is recognizing it exists.....

Denial, delusion, and a complete disbelief of facts is exactly what is wrong with this asshole. Let's work to beat him, not join him

[Are_grits_groceries]

20. Ya know?

I can rant AND work to beat him. I can multitask.
You seem to be of the MISTAKEN belief that all we do is type imprecations at him.

WAKE UP!

[fNord]

29. As can we all....

Last edited Sat Feb 25, 2017, 09:55 PM - Edit history (1)

This all started with me "ranting"

I'm just asking all of us who think to not deny facts just because we don't like them, like "45 can sign executive orders, and in fact has, and will agin" or "he can order military strikes against....whoever."

I loathe 45. So much so I can't even use his name. I loathe him. He's a waste of a good jerking off. It makes my skin crawl that he's actively representing not only me, but my friends, family, and soil to the rest of the world. And it scares me to death that he has his finger on the button.

But it is.

And unless you've denounced your citizenship to the USA, he IS your president. So you can stick your head in the sand an mumble "not my problem" or you can face the cold truth. How did you put it......WAKE UP!

If you claim to love this country, then you must respect it. Not him, but America.

I don't have to like that he is the president. I can legally work to make it not true any longer. But I cannot deny the fact that that pice of pre-(expletive deleted)'s ass is sitting in the Oval Office.

Are you telling me you can?


*edit for excessive language

[GreenEyedLefty]

19. I dwell in reality and know this.

Yes, he's *the* president. But he doesn't represent, me, my family or our values. In that respect, he is not *my* president and never will be. So fuck him and his sycophantic minions.

[LovingA2andMI]

44. He's Not My President

My President Is The REAL POTUS Barack Obama on permanent vacation --- and that will NOT change the next three years and eleven months.

[Vinca]

21. He's in a stolen seat. We can't ignore that. They stole 2000, too, and a SCOTUS seat.

I refused to accept him as the president of anything but his too expensive Palm Beach club.

[Donkees]

22. Activists are keeping the FOCUS on him being the most hated president, ESPECIALLY on President's Day

being one who didn't win any popular vote or mandate. Activists ARE also confronting their elected officials, etc., plus all those things you say they should be doing. People are not hiding under their beds, keeping their eyes closed, etc. The world knows he is insane.

[Stinky The Clown]

24. I think the point of "Not My President" went over your head.

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. +1000000!

[treestar]

63. [phone]

[sinkingfeeling]

25. He's not my president because I'm not one of his 'special people'. So,

he says he's not my president.

[Docreed2003]

43. Spot on!!!

[JenniferJuniper]

26. He's made it pretty clear he represents his supporters only.

ergo, unless you are one of his supporters, he is not your president.

Sorry.

[Freedomofspeech]

27. Exactly!

[Else You Are Mad]

31. He doesn't even represent his supporters...

He represents big oil, Russians, the military industrial complex and multinational corporations. Trump just throws a few bones to the racists and xenophobes out there so they stay in line.

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. Yep.

[jmg257]

28. It should be clear to him by now that HUGE swatchs of people do not accept him as their president.

So he will either:
1) accept that, and agree, and continue to ignore them completely, or
2) see number 1.

There will be no coming together, no healing under trump...we are too far gone for that.
THAT point should be obvious, even to his ego.

So he will do what he likes, what he thinks his supporters want, and will more easily justify not worrying about anyone else.

[MoonRiver]

30. I'm sorry but the Illegal Resident in our WH, along with complicit Repugnants and Russia,

stole the position. (And btw let's not forget the SC seat Senate Rs stole. But that's another rant.)

If I were to accept Rump as MY president, it's like saying the thief who broke into MY house and stole MY television, is now that t.v.'s legitimate owner. Nope, not ever, in both cases.

[HughBeaumont]

33. The thing is . . . even for people who support him . . .

. . . he isn't THEIR President either.

Let's not get into any mistaken notion on who he serves. He's the shareholder's president. Not ours. Not even one bit.

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. So true. Idiots don't realize that. They will soon.

[Blue_Tires]

35. Sorry, he never was, nor never will be my president

and I want nothing to do with his voter base or their vision of America, either...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. He's the president. John Gotti was the boss of the Gambino crime family. Facts are facts.

I have about the same amount of respect for both.

[rzemanfl]

53. "Facts are facts." What a pre-2016 notion that is. n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

40. He is legally the President of my country. But he is not "my President."

I reserve that distinction for Presidents who work in the best interests of the people they serve, not for ego gratification and self-enrichment.

I know that seems like hair-splitting, but it's a distinction I continue to make.

[Trust Buster]

41. The whole RESIST. sentiment seems to be lost on this poster.

[LexVegas]

45. He's your President. Own him. nt

[heaven05]

46. well, good for you

No one is hiding when I say: HE'S NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!! He is yours. This racist pig of a front man boy-potus who covers covering for anti-semite, racist presidents miller and bannon, interchangeable. They do not represent me and want me dead. Whether as a taker of SS, Medicare or my VA benefits, all of which this administration wants to take from me and wish me DEAD. Blacks are not wanted in this country except to serve the white, KKKristian male and female. Muslims? Forget it, leave or die is all the white pig racists and their supporters are saying, as well as to immigrants from south of our border. He is prezident of ameriKKKans, of this you are correct, so I can say, this isn't really my country any more either, now for sure. My brown skin makes me a marked man triple that from just being a marked person in a racist culture that I was BEFORE this horror show entered the front door at 1600. Yeah, you can afford your optimism I can see, I can't. It's truly a matter of life or death.

[eniwetok]

47. UTTER AND COMPLETE B*LLSHIT!

"No mater how fucked this all seems, we are still living in a Democracy! When it's all said and done, We The People are the bosses of them, but We The People must always have the courage to remember that."

Do you even have a f*cking CLUE what "democracy" is?

For a start IT'S NOT MINORITY RULE.

And the People are NOT the "bosses" in a system where the People can be overridden in electing a president (EC).

The People are NOT the "bosses" in a system 18% of the US population gets 52% of the seats in the Senate where they have a veto over a gerrymandered House

The People are NOT the "bosses" in a system where states with 4% of the US population can block any amendment... yet states with 40% can ratify any amendment.

[Phentex]

48. I don't think you understand the phrase

and you are just taking the words literally.

Is he a politician? The politicians have said no. Even though I guess technically NOW you could call him one. He was never one before.

Is he a man? Perhaps he's got some of the parts but I don't think he can be considered a real man.

He's got a new title now but that does not mean he embodies what that title SHOULD embody.

Why do you care if people denounce him as the holder of a title he does not deserve?

[Dem2]

49. I agree that we need to delegitimize him versus pretend he's not our president

Though I think the latter is actually part of accomplishing the former. A leader has no power if his constituents don't acknowledge or comply with his edicts.

[cpamomfromtexas]

51. He needs to stay long enough to destroy the magic R's

[JTFrog]

52. Lol. nt

[Squinch]

54. This is bullshit. I can acknowledge he is illegitimate while at the same time doing more than

"Sitting in my living room with my eyes closed waiting for the problem to go away."

Have you missed the fact that the electorate is quite riled up and active and no one is "hiding under the bed?"

Where are you getting this nonsense? Look around you.

[Fozzledick]

56. No, he's an illegitimate tyrant who stole power with a fake vote count

and then bragged openly that the election was rigged.

BTW, why can't I see your user name?

[eniwetok]

58. why resort to claim ANY fake vote count when...

Why are you claiming a fake vote count when we have a grotesquely antidemocratic system of electing president? There is simply NOTHING in the Constitution that says a president must be legitimate by democratic standards. It's now clear that the EC has a GOP bias... but then so does federalism. If my numbers are correct Dem Senators represent 33 million more people than GOPers... yet the GOP controls the Senate too.

One MIGHT think that in the US Democrats would be the ones standing up for democratic principles... but there's little evidence of that. Democrats simply don't value democracy which explains why they have no long term strategy to make the US democratic.

Maybe the Trump Junta will finally clarify the importance of this core value. But then the Bush Junta didn't.

[zipplewrath]

57. I know what you mean

I get the whole idea, but it kind of speaks to a logical disconnect. There is no "my" president. There is just "the" president and he's it. We heard similar crap outta the GOP with Obama. I don't even buy the "legitimate" part because I've read the constitution six ways from Sunday and by all the rules lain out there, and where the authority to determine who is the "legitimate" president, he checked off all the boxes. It speaks to the ugly underbelly of the whole "anyone can become president" concept. (And strangely, the authors of the constitution actually tried to make that not be true).

He is the minority president. And he is a slow motion train wreck. He's the Russian Ambassador to the US. And some folks are predicting he'll be a less than one term president. But none of that is helped by this concept, and to some extent it is hindered because we surely don't want anyone thinking that in anyway he isn't president, until he is truly not.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

59. Well said, my dear fNord! I especially love your sentence which follows:

We The People must always have the courage to remember that.

[BlueStater]

60. Sorry, but no.

I do not acknowledge that fucking piece of human garbage as *my* president and I never will.

[whathehell]

61. I feel the same way

given that presidents aren't given out on an individual basis. It is one per country, after all.

[treestar]

62. As I've been telling right wingers

it is not meant literally.
