Something About President-elect Trump Doesn't Pass The Smell Test

Because politicians and the media were so adamant about the election process being valid to a democracy, after Trump's constant claims of rigging (unless he won), no one is looking hard enough at voting fraud.

Here's a list of thirteen reasons to question Trump's legitimacy as president of the United States.

1. Trump was a 'birther', as racist and hateful as one can get to President Obama.
2. Trump wants to rewrite libel laws so he can sue reporters. anti-First amendment.
3. Trump is pro-torture. 
4. Trump said he would bomb entire families during wartime, children too.
5. The Kremlin admitted to being in constant contact with the Trump team throughout the election.
6. Trump claimed repeatedly that election was rigged while using a communist dictatorship to rig the election.
7. Russia admitted to hacking and influencing the election.
8. Trump sued Nevada because a polling place had stayed open after the 8 O'clock deadline.
9. Trump is a known manipulator of finance, willing to cheat his own vendors and the federal govt. out of money. 
10. Rudy Giuliani used his influence at the FBI to involve a US police forcing agency to influence the election.
11. Voting machines have been reported to have flipped across the nation, forcing voters to use paper ballots. Were those electronic votes still counted?
12. Claims by the right that Bernie voters and Dems must have voted for Trump, to explain county-wide voting numbers.
13. Hillary won the popular vote by 336,429, not counting independents.

This is not me being a sore loser.
This is a checklist for a fascist coup.
Something doesn't pass the smell test.

ENVIRONMENT 'Final Warning To Humanity'

"[T]he world's scientists have spoken, clearly and in one voice," said U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, on the most recent report of the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). After a rigorous multi-stage review process that includes 2,500 scientific expert reviewers, 800 contributing authors, and 450 lead authors representing 130 countries, the IPCC warns that "all countries" will be affected by climate change if carbon emissions continue to spiral.

By 2100, global average surface temperatures could rise by between 1.1 and 6.4 degrees celsius, and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could lead to an eventual rise in sea levels of up to 1.40 meters.

With "strikingly" blunt language, the report reads like "a final warning to humanity," notes Time magazine. "What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment," declared IPCC chairman Dr. Rajendra Pachauri.

DEBATING WAYS TO BATTLE WARMING: This weekend, Grist and Living on Earth sponsored a presidential candidate forum to discuss ways to tackle climate change, in partnership with the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, California LCVEF, Center for American Progress Action Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund, and the Presidential Forum on Renewable Energy.

The event was attended by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), former senator John Edwards, and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH). "[R]educing oil dependence and global warming is the second most important issue among independent voters," states Daniel Weiss of the Center for American Progress.

With "little disagreement among them" on the urgency of climate change, Clinton and Edwards emphasized the need to reduce emissions by 80 percent by 2050, consistent with the goals of the IPCC, along with a mandatory cap on greenhouse emissions. Such plans to combat global warming can be undertaken with a very modest reduction in global annual GDP growth of 0.12 percent, notes Pachauri.
