Donald J. Trump is president-elect of the United States. Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d write.

Against all odds and against all forms of the establishment, he prevailed. He won, legitimately, including in many states that were thought to be safely blue. The pundits and the polls were wrong. There was more pent-up hunger for change — and also racial, ethnic and economic angst — than many models considered.

Mr. Trump will become this country’s 45th president. For me, it is a truly shocking fact, a bitter pill to swallow. I remain convinced that this is one of the worst possible people who could be elected president. I remain convinced that Trump has a fundamentally flawed character and is literally dangerous for world stability and injurious to America’s standing in that world.

There is so much that I can’t fully comprehend.

It is hard to know specifically how to position yourself in a country that can elect a man with such staggering ineptitude and open animus. It makes you doubt whatever faith you had in the country itself.

Also, let me be clear: Businessman Donald Trump was a bigot. Candidate Donald Trump was a bigot. Republican nominee Donald Trump was a bigot. And I can only assume that President Donald Trump will be a bigot.

It is absolutely possible that America didn’t elect him in spite of that, but because of it. Consider that for a second. Think about what that means. This is America right now: throwing its lot in with a man who named an alt-right sympathizer as his campaign chief.

How can I make sense of the fact that the president appeared in pornos?

How can I make sense of the fact that the man who will appoint the next attorney general has himself boasted of assaulting women? What will this president’s vaunted “law and order” program for “inner cities” look like in an age where minority communities are already leery of police aggression?

How do I make sense of the fact that a man who attacked a federal judge for his “Mexican heritage” will be the man who will nominate the next Supreme Court justice and scores of federal judges?

I can’t make it make sense because it doesn’t. I must sit with the absurdity of it.

I must settle this in myself in this way: I respect the presidency; I do not respect this president-elect. I cannot. Count me among the resistance.

I hope that there are areas where people in Washington can agree to actually advance America’s interests, but I’m doubtful. Trump has made multiple campaign promises, promises he will be obliged to keep, that would specifically do harm.

My thoughts are now with the immigrant families he has threatened to deport and the Muslims he has threatened to bar and the women he has demeaned and those he is accused of assaulting and the disabled whom he apparently has no problem mocking.

My thoughts are with the poor people afflicted by ill health who were finally able to receive medical insurance coverage, sometimes lifesaving coverage, and the fear they must feel now that there is a president committed to repealing and replacing it (with what, I don’t know), and who has a pliable Congress at his disposal.

When I think of all these people and then think of all the people who voted to make this man president — and those who didn’t vote, thereby easing the way for his ascension — I cannot help but feel some measure of anger. I must deal with that anger. I don’t want to wrestle it to the ground; I want to harness it.

I have spent much of my life and definitely much of my time writing this column championing the causes of vulnerable populations. That work only becomes more important now. Trump represents a clear and very present danger, and it is in the face of that danger that courage and truth are made more necessary and more perfect.

I strongly support and defend the peaceful transfer of power in this country and applaud the current administration for doing what is right and normal in America, what every prior departing administration has done: to make sure the transfer of power is as smooth as possible.

We need a Trump presidency to succeed to some degree — at least to have it do as little harm to the republic as possible — in order for America to remain safe, steady and strong during his tenure.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t believe Trump to be an abomination, but rather that I honor one of the hallmarks of our democracy and that I am an American interested in protecting America.

That said, it is impossible for me to fall in line behind an unrepentant bigot. It will be impossible for me to view this man participating in the pageantry and protocols of the presidency and not be reminded of how he is a demonstrated demagogue who is also a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and a bully.

That is not a person worthy of applause. That is a person who must be placed under unrelenting pressure. Power must be challenged, constantly. That begins today.

"How do I make sense of the fact that a man who attacked a federal judge for his “Mexican heritage”

Attacked? Trump simply wanted him to recuse himself because his Mexican heritage, membership in the California La Raza Lawyers Association, and prior biased rulings in the case conflicted with Trump's stance on illegal immigration and building a southern wall.

What about all the black defendants who complain they didn't get a fair trial because they had a white judge or an all-white jury? Ann Coulter had it right -- "Would liberals accept a white judge -- under any circumstances -- who was a member of an White Race organization?"

Charles, I could explain it to you. If we sat down over a glass - scratch that, more like a pitcher - of iced tea and you were willing to listen, I can point to each area of what you wrote where you have departed from the reservation of reality and truth. Every time you do that, you start to build on an ether as evanescent as Hillary Clinton's huge lead in all of the polls except the one that counted.

Donald Trump is not a "bigot" in the sense of the word you mean. He opposes the political agenda of certain groups of people who have organized to advance a certain agenda. You yourself, Charles, are part of at least one of those groups. You're a mouthpiece of it. You're writing in anger, and in sincerity. But if you want to understand, you can understand. I can explain it to you myself, from the common ground of humanity.

But if you'll deny Trump and me the status of sincere human beings along with you, then you will never understand. I think your career is build on not understanding, of seeking division, gaining energy from the division, and winning battles based on that energy.

It doesn't have to be as bad as you think it is. It's up to you if you really want to understand enough to come down off the ledge. If you've just gotta jump, well, I won't stop you.

"When Trump's assault victims refute his claim that it was consensual."

The author said Trump "boasted of assaulting women". His boast was, "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything."

He never boasted of assaulting women. In fact, he never said he touched anyone.

wipe your eyes and except it,

Learn the difference: Accept vs. Except

Do I accept an invitation or except it? If someone is left off of an invitation list, has she been excepted or accepted? What’s the difference between these two terms, and how can we keep them straight?

Accept means, most broadly, to take or receive (something offered) or receive with approval or favor, as in “I accept this trophy.”

Except has a verb sense of to exclude; leave out, as in the phrase “present company excepted.” But it can also be used as a preposition, as in “They were all there except me,” and a conjunction, as in “Every inch of the facility was well fortified except here.” Except is also widely used in the phrase except for, meaning were it not for, as in “She would travel more except for lack of money.”

One easy way to keep these two terms straight is to zero in on the ex- in except and associate it with exclude. When determining whether to use except or accept in a sentence, first consider what part of speech the context calls for:

  • If you need a verb, and if that verb could be replaced with exclude without losing the intended meaning of the sentence, then choose except. If the meaning is lost with exclude, then go with accept.
  • If you need a preposition or conjunction (or anything other than a verb), except is the term for you, as accept is only used a verb.

As with some other commonly confused terms, accept and except share a linguistic ancestor. Both can be traced to the Latin verb capere meaning to take. The prefix ex- means out of. The prefix ac- is a variant of ad-, which occurs in loanwords from Latin where it meant toward.

And there you have it! Hopefully you’ll accept our help with these two terms—of course, those who don’t need the assistance are cheerfully excepted.

Same players that have been in protests for quite sometime now with the money source also being the same.

Now you see why I say we need to do a lot of tracking of where all the money went during the last 8 years. To get it back and identify the players involved and prosecute them, if they don't this will keep happening.
