Would somebody PLEASE help me understand WHY, WHY, WHY this election is allowed to let stand as is?

WHY can't frump be challenged if he is so blatantly phony and illegally headed for the oval office? Why is the electoral college even still in place? With so man millions of popular votes cast for Clinton there was only ONE LEGAL AND PROPER winner of this election possible and it wasn't frump!! Frump made such a big deal about "draining the swamp" but he was the head of the swamp with the most money and the most foreign money and the most foreign influence and the filthiest campaign tactics! I have ever seen! Why is Russia allowed to choose our leaders? Why isn't anybody challenging this Twitter clown? Why isn't Twitter itself shutting him down? Isn't somebody ballsy enough to snag his phone out of his itty bitty little Tweety Bird hands and say "Naughty, you little fool!". Give me some power and I will do it myself, I swear it! I had a bully for a husband and currently a sister who is a loud mouth bully and I know bullies when I see them and how to deal with them. Give me the "football" and I will use it to pound some sense into his head before he has a chance to tweet putin the code to the nukes. Better still, lets send the idiots who voted for the donald to the Kremalin and let them see what they voted for so their eyes will be fully wide open to the grief and pain we will all shortly suffer. Americans who voted for him are surely the same idiots who left the hanging chads for 41 and 43 and caused such misery and pain for all of us that we are still feeling to this day. Please, PLEASE get the frigging phone away from him and tell him to start using the platform of public SPEECH to explain himself to the American people like a true statesman and not like a teenager with a new Christmas phone!

What about FICA???

I don't know if this is the right area to start this question or not but one of the local political ads in my area keeps talking about so-ans-so wanting to delete Social Security and start over again with some other plan. I can't help but wonder about the FICA tax they are so glad to take away from us every payday. FICA is how we pay for Social Security and if they manage to take away our hard earned benefits, how do they plan to get by without the FICA piggy bank? They can't have it both ways--stopping our benefits and still charge us FICA which they dearly love to rob for this mess or other messes that they get into and pay for their mistakes with FICA. If we lose our SS benefits then they better never steal another dime from us by deducting FICA, RIGHT? If I am wrong somebody please tell me because I want to know before somebody in Washington screws us again. How will they get along without it? WILL they get along without it and if they do get along then somebody has some "splaining" to do. RIGHT??
