Trump's political influence and the devastating effects of his landslide victory
It wasn't a landslide victory.

It was a humiliating thrashing which is probably worse.
At the start of the night pollsters had her above 90% certainty to be the next president.
The Madam President book was even released early (then hastily recalled) because it was a sure thing she'd be in the White House come January.
She couldn't even beat a reality tv star with no politcal background and seemingly even less knowledge and etiquette.
That's shameful.

All of that is perfectly true - but it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't a landslide.

Matthew Lasner and his wife Daniel Goldstein abused Ivanka Trump on a JetBlue flight.

I've given Lasner's book a bad literary critique and only one star. That'll teach him a lesson.

Apparently people online are cyber bullying and harassing Jackie Evancho because she is signed up to sing at Trumps Inauguration.

Disgraceful behaviour. I bet people on both sides are rightly disgusted with this.

Sadly, this appears to be part and parcel of the entertainment industry when a performer makes a decision that has a political dimension.

That was a disgrace, what gives him the right to abuse someone who's just sitting there with their children??

It makes all the more disgusting, that he tweeted about it, almost in glee at his actions.

Some people are just mentally disturbed.

Apparently people online are cyber bullying and harassing Jackie Evancho because she is signed up to sing at Trumps Inauguration.

Performing at the Inauguration, is a huge opportunity for anyone, no matter who they are, so anyone bullying or giving out abuse is just very wrong.

You don't have to like or respect Trump to want to be part of history, as not many people have had the honour, and opportunity to play during such an event, watched by I don't know how many millions of people around the globe.
It can be a career maker for sure, so why should anyone turn down such an opportunity, just because some small minded folks, don't like who the day is about??

Madness, and most definitely not in a good way.

So much for "When they go low. We go high"

Then again Michelle says America has no more hope anymore....
She is coming across as a very bitter person, just because her friend didn't win, as I think she expected her to.
All of her comments are just coming across as very mean spirited, and partisan.

She needs to take a step back or three, and think before she speaks, and not say anything that makes her look bad or incredibly biased.

There's no real equivalence between a few random idiots giving someone grief on Twitter and vast sections of the country music industry terminating your country music career overnight.

"Family reasons" is it.

Isn't that usually political code for a scandal is about to break or fell out with leadership?

Nope, just the fact that the Democrats try to portray themselves as taking the moral high ground when in reality there is idiots and vile people on both sides.

trump is the Messiah and not a naughty boy

'Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King,'
Why would republicans want a king, thought the revolution was intended to get rid of such, in any case the wise men didn't come on Christmas Day, they arrived several days later - still what do you expect when the only part of the Bible the typical Republican reads are the bits about homosexuality being wrong
