I've lived overseas for 22 years and we are the laughingstock of the world. We say we are the greatest country and yet we just elected someone who is clueless, has zero political or military experience in addition to having a very limited vocabulary. I'm convinced that Republicans didn't nominate him because they thought he'd make a good president. They nominated him because the only way they could win was to have a "celebrity" on their ballot. I'm very embarrassed that this is where we are at in 2016. And this is the first time in 22 years that I don't even want to admit that I'm American. I'd rather be labeled "human" or "world citizen" ... it is humanity, kindness, tolerance, compassion and empathy that makes us great and that man did not radiate any of those qualities throughout the entire campaign.Tammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-86391679403514820702016-11-11T23:18:58.761-05:002016-11-11T23:18:58.761-05:00Wed..

And those who are so worried about terrorists...... well, they just voted one into office. He is a terrorist to all of us. His sordid and cavalier way of speaking to and about women ~ to the horrific displays he has put on when speaking about immigrants and people with disabilities ~ are despicable. Those who did NOT vote at all should be ashamed. And they are the ones who wrap themselves in the flag. If men and women go to war to fight for our right to our democracy and the right to vote ~ the least we can do is actually cast a ballot. Maybe someone should tell people they might not be able to vote,,,, and perhaps they will think about voting like they do their beloved guns. Oh, Meredith, it is such a sad sad situation. You have had much to grieve over in the past couple of years. I feel like this is something that millions of us are grieving over together. Hug little Buddy for all of us.

I think you are smart, creative, and passionate about your family and what you believe in As am I. I don't even pretend to know enough about politics to debate anyone. But I firmly believe that our country needs change. I don't know if that change will occur with our president elect, whom I did indeed vote for, but for me, I saw him to be the better candidate for what I want in the America I so love. I don't agree with, or condone, a good deal of what he says, or what he has said way before he had political aspirations. He often foolishly speaks before thinking. It bothered me immensely when he was caught saying things about women. But after searching my heart, even the stupid things he says, didn't bother me nearly as much as the things that his opponent has done. That's just me. I am not a bigot, and I have compassion for all. <br />I want to feel safe, above all else, I want to be safe from terrorists. I want to watch my grandchildren grow up. None of us can predict the future. I wish we had much better choices to in our candidates. But we didn't. As American citizens, I feel it is our duty to give the President, current or otherwise, our utmost respect. And I would feel the exact same way, had Clinton been elected. It is time to come together, as people, not affiliated with one party or another, for the betterment of our country. It is my sincerest hope that this will happen in time. I know that I will always be proud to America home. It isn't perfect. But it is great! I am a proud American, even when our country is going through difficult times. Kind of like when our children were naughty. They didn't make me proud in those moments, but I always love them! <br />I have many friends who don't see eye to eye with me. They are, and always will, remain my friends. You included. I hope you feel the same way about me.<br />xo Kris Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-58669895578404786662016-11-10T16:41:50.950-05:002016-11-10T16:41:50.950-05:00It was a shock.

No President can act on his own in a democracy. I think even he realises he has to work for everyone. Things will be tough. But we can all get through this.Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398380737025120541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-12971809903385903042016-11-10T16:26:23.170-05:002016-11-10T16:26:23.170-05:00The world is certainly a different place today.

Your political party may not win every election cycle, but we are a country made up of several different parties and we together make up America. I'm disgusted that you would say such a thing on display here for the rest of the world to read. Tell how ashamed you are to be an American to all the soldiers' mothers that have been killed in serving this country made up of Democrats AND Republicans. Get your shit together, Meredith. I hope you reconsider and delete this emotionally-based post. Or I hope you leave the country and revoke your citizenship. I'll help you pack.
