Martin Sheen, Celebs Urge Electoral College Members Not to Vote for Trump
Video 311
"to ensure that the presidency only goes to someone who is to an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications"?
What about a guy no one ever heard of, who was a community organizer, served as senator for 143 days, and the only real job he ever had was at Baskin-Robbins?

Got to love Martin Sheen (not his real name). After all, he was the one who raised that outstanding son of his... Charlie.
It's funny how Hollywood tried to make a laughing stock out of Trump. No way was he going to be president they said! Now he is president-elect and it's a whole new ballgame. Remember now... Trump HAD to accept the election results otherwise it would shake the very foundation of our democracy. But now the shoe is on the other foot so there's a new fatwā which will not destroy our democracy because self-righteous Sheen and his ilk know what's best for America ...
--most Americans voted the wrong way and they're here to correct it by attempting to flip the election. --

Sheen's failed Alexander Hamilton impersonation:
“You have the position, the authority and the opportunity to go down in the books as an American hero who changed the course of history, and you have my respect for your patriotism and service to the American people."
Still, has fantasies about being in the "West Wing".
This is how asinine their attempt to change the election result is.
It would take 37 electors from states Trump won to put him below the 270 threshold and block him from the White House, after which the election would be determined by the House of Representatives, which can pick another candidate and would choose a “consensus Republican candidate” to become president.
Oh...and remember they were supposed to leave the country if Trump was elected?
Hollywood...some truly f**ked up people
'House's' Lisa Edelstein implies Alan Thicke died to avoid Trump
Published December 15, 2016
Actress Lisa Edelstein is being slammed for a tweet she wrote following the death of star Alan Thicke.
“RIP Alan Thicke. Seems like everyone is checking out before the Trumpacolypse,” she tweeted.
The Twitterverse did not respond kindly to her quip.
One follower called the post “soulless” while another wrote, “@LisaEdelstein wow very classy. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
Some called the post “classless.”
@LisaEdelstein 1) he was Canadian. 2) A family lost a husband and a father. This is NOT the time for politics.— Delia Enriquez (@dfiregirl4) December 14, 2016
@LisaEdelstein Absolutely insensitive and unnecessary. Someone's father, husband & grandfather died today. Do not politicise it.— Janine (@LifeofJanine) December 14, 2016
The former “House” star, who currently stars in Bravo’s “Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce,” did not seemed fazed by the backlash. She followed up her message by retweeting several anti-Trump posts.
"Growing Pains" star Thicke died suddenly on Tuesday at the age of 69.
A rep for Edelstein did not immediately return FOX411's request for comment.
Keith Ablow: Free therapy because Trump won?

NYC to offer free Trump-induced stress therapy
According to the New York Post, Mayor Bill de Blasio is creating a citywide safe space for New York City’s municipal workers and offering them psychotherapy sessions to deal with the results of the presidential election.
Taken literally (and we should), the mayor is telling citizens of New York City that they should indulge any potential weakness inside them that makes them believe they can’t deal with the results of American democracy when the results don’t go their way — that they’re easily injured, inherently weak and don’t have the personal fortitude to keep fighting for what they believe in.
See, there are politicians who will use any occasion to coax people into dependency on the state — whether for food, shelter, the raising of their children or hand-holding — when anything in life doesn’t go their way.
Remember, Mayor DiBlasio is offering New Yorkers therapy to cope with the results of an election. These are the same people who battle—every day—the vagaries of living in the largest metropolitan area in the country. These are the same people who survived 9/11.
The DiBlasio mindset is the same one that results in telling the losing team of kids that they get trophies, too. They need only to agree that they are sad and defeated and need parental figures to indulge them with unwarranted accolades.
The mayor is suggesting to citizens of New York City that they should consider whether the democratic process has injured them to such an extent that they need to limp into therapists’ offices and, kind of, cry it out. Like coddled children. He seems to believe that he and other progressive “leaders” like him should be the only ones with personal power — the only real adults.
Isn’t that why progressives would tax citizens even more, if they could — because individuals don’t really know how to use their own money? Isn’t that why they would disarm citizens, if he could — because Americans don’t need to be able to defend themselves and decide when it is necessary? Isn’t that why many of them would reverse the election of Donald Trump, if they could — because they believe that Americans who voted differently than they did must not have known what they were doing?
Be weak, de Blasio and the likes of him say, and you will be embraced. You will be loved.
This undermining of human autonomy, self-confidence and self-determination in citizens of a city or a nation is the opposite of what psychiatrists like me stand for — which is self-possession. And make no mistake, it isn’t just funny and it isn’t just foolish. It is a strategic effort to erode individual well-being, individual thought, individual action and individual potential.
This nation has faced tests of its will before, in world wars — and it faces one now, in radical Islamic terrorism. Our survival — and the survival of liberty around the globe — will depend, ultimately, on American, God-given strength. And those who would bleed that strength from our souls, would only set the stage for other vampires, who don’t pretend they love us, to finish us off.

Intelligence officials refuse to brief House panel on Russian hacking
Everybody knew about Wikileaks and Russian hacking long before the election.
As usual, like us, Barry got it from the news reports. Subsequently, (after the election) he ordered a "full Intelligence Community review". So the question is this. Since he knew this was taking place why not address it before the election instead of after?
I'll tell you why. Because his fucking candidate lost. If she had won we wouldn't have heard a word about it. This is nothing but an attempt to delegitimize a Trump presidency... and he's using the CIA to do it!
Think I'm full of shit?
How do you pay Iran $1.7 billion in ransom in foreign currency and get away with it?

(Thought Republicans were extinct in CA)
WASHINGTON — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes on Wednesday blasted as "unacceptable" the refusal of the FBI, CIA and National Intelligence directors to brief his panel on the Russian cyber attacks that occurred during the presidential campaign.
Nunes had requested that National Intelligence Director James Clapper, with participation from FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan, brief committee members in a closed session on Thursday. That briefing has now been cancelled.
The California Republican, in a letter sent to Clapper on Monday, said he wanted clarification about why the CIA is now saying that Russian hacks of political campaign committees earlier this year appeared to be aimed at helping President-elect Donald Trump and hurting Democrat Hillary Clinton. Nunes pointed to testimony from Clapper in a public hearing in November that the Intelligence Community lacked the evidence to draw such a conclusion.
"It is unacceptable that the Intelligence Community directors would not fulfill the House Intelligence Committee’s request to be briefed tomorrow on the cyber-attacks that occurred during the presidential campaign," Nunes said in a statement released Wednesday night. "The legislative branch is constitutionally vested with oversight responsibility of executive branch agencies, which are obligated to comply with our requests."
However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said that "senior administration officials have regularly provided extensive, detailed classified and unclassified briefings to members and staff from both parties on Capitol Hill since this past summer and have continued to do so after Election Day."
"Last week, the President ordered a full Intelligence Community review of foreign efforts to influence recent presidential elections — from 2008 to present," the director's office said in a statement Wednesday. "Once the review is complete in the coming weeks, the Intelligence Community stands ready to brief Congress — and will make those findings available to the public consistent with protecting intelligence sources and methods. We will not offer any comment until the review is complete."
Nunes is a member of Trump's presidential transition team. Trump has dismissed reports that the Russians were trying to help him win the election as "ridiculous."
Nunes said his committee "is vigorously looking into reports of cyber-attacks during the election campaign, and in particular we want to clarify press reports that the CIA has a new assessment that it has not shared with us."
"The committee is deeply concerned that intransigence in sharing intelligence with Congress can enable the manipulation of intelligence for political purposes," Nunes said. "The committee will continue its efforts and will insist that we receive all the necessary cooperation from the relevant leaders of the Intelligence Community."
