Warren Buffett calls on everyone to accept the electoral verdict

Buffett: Trump "deserves everybody's respect"

Count billionaire businessman Warren Buffett among the Hillary Clinton supporters who says he's now ready to give president-elect Donald Trump a chance.

"I support any president of the United States," Buffett said during a weekend CNN broadcast of an interview with the widely respected investor. "He deserves everybody's respect."

He also urged Americans to put aside differences from the bitterly fought race Trump and Clinton mounted for the White House and come together in support of the "legitimacy of the president."


Everyone should accept the electoral verdict - what's the point in holding out?

Not really, these are folks that do not know how to channel their frustration in a mature way.

This has nothing to do with "craving attention."

Problem with that is, Trump made it very clear if he had lost, he was not going to accept the electoral verdict.

So while Warren is right, I wouldn't be so quick to critisize those who are disappointed that he is President, because Trump himself, was ready to undermine the elections if he had lost.

But he was lying about that

It is an attention getting behavior and they say they are doing it just to do it..
 
Umm, no. I, for one, am looking forward for the incessant derision and contempt for Trump by the left for the crap republicans gave Obama and liberals all these years.

So your argument is that Trump is horrible so that justifies everyone to be just as horrible.

Yes I am too. Democrats proving just how phony they were, pretending to be outraged by the obstructionism will bring me many smiles

Didn't say that.

What I am saying is, Trump supporters are upset that people are upset about Trump being President because of the results, when they and Trump himself, weren't willing to accept the results had it gone the other way.

That's all I'm pointing out.
 
Reasonable people will do with Trump what they did with Obama and Bush and every President before. Criticize them when they do something we disagree with and applaud them when they do something we agree with. As for the partisans, they will be the same asshats they have always been.

And I'm pointing out the both sides are full of ****. The same supporters who are protesting the results are the one who vilified Trump after the 3rd debate when he wouldnt commit to accepting the results.

This election has shown that many Americans are horrible people and that's why we ended up with horrible candidates.

It's only justice to do to others what they did to you. If democrats take the obstructionist path, they'll be merely returning the favor.

I for one am getting annoyed by the butthurt those such as yourself have been spewing tbh..

The liberal tears were great for a while but seriously, we don't need that many tears, our tear powered moon rocket is all gassed up and it's pretty fuel efficient believe it or not so were good on all that..

So chill out and read this thread so you understand what's happening..

What's that saying? Two wrongs don't make a right, an eye for and eye leaves the whole world blind, ect...

Oh I see. Now that the right wing's obstructionism and deranged propaganda of the past 8 years have paid off, it's suddenly concerned with magnanimity and rectitude. In their own peculiar way, right wingers are being cute.

Bring it, it won't matter.

I think they should try to accomplish whatever it is they promised to the people that voted for them even if it truly is hopeless to save face..

Well, that's pretty much their job, so I hope you're right.

So now that the democrats have been resoundingly defeated in 3 of the last 4 elections, "the will of the people" means nothing and they are going to stomp thier feet and pout like a 5 year old.
 
Firstly, not committing to accepting the results BEFORE the results have even happened is one thing - but not committing to accepting the results AFTER the results have actually happened is quite another - and the worst of all is actually COMMITTING TO NOT ACCEPTING the results after they've happened.

That last part is what we're ACTUALLY seeing happen from the losing Democrat side - it's not that they're uncommitted to a future hypothetical, it's that they're in fact COMMITTED TO OPPOSING A CURRENT REALITY. They're CURRENTLY REJECTING the LAWFULLY ELECTED GOVT. They are currently outside the law, whereas Trump never was.

you have to understand that to those who see government as the wellspring for all that is good and the source of their sustenance, losing an election is far more traumatic than it is to those of us who merely see the government as a necessary evil that we hope stays out of the way of us when we seek wealth and prosperity.

No, you don't get it and don't want to.

Regardless, we can both agree the protests are absurd and a waste of time.

Most parents, with any common sense at all, learn very quickly that if one of their children throws a temper tantrum, the best way to manage the behavior is to send them to his or her room until they get themselves under control. When the child finally accepts that his selfish needs are not going to be met, he decides to re-enter the family unit and behave appropriately.

Variations of that scenario usually play themselves out in normal, well adjusted families.

It would be a bit of a stretch to label a tattooed, pierced, spiked, stoned, iPhones 7 hugging, ear buds nursing, basement dwelling, Momma leeching looooozer either normal or well adjusted.

The only job most of them have is civic agitation and the only real boss they have ever had has been George Soros. Most are so stupid that they couldn't find their own way home. That's why they have all those buses. And Mom is probably standing out on the corner waiting for them so they won't miss their stop.

Those described above are the part of our population who will never have any respect for anything. Why? Because they will NEVER have any respect for themselves. Why? Because they are useless.

The worst part is that they are everywhere. If I was a betting man, I'd wager that not one member of this entire web site will ever be a smart, as well educated, as successful, or as rich as Warren Buffet. Further, I'd wager that not one member of this entire web site will ever be as smart, as well educated, as successful, or as rich as Donald Trump. And yet, many here think that by stomping the little feet and crying and whining and getting stoned and wearing ugly tattoos and sticking holes in their malnourished bodies, that they are important and that their opinions must be heard, and worse, that not only should their opinions be heard, but that their opinions should be acted upon and that their wishes should be met.

WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTIC LOSERS. YOU MUST BE NUTS! NOW, GO TO YOUR ROOM.

If their craving is directed to every level of elective government, then their "channeling" is done, mature or not.

Just.so long as you dont complain if the right uses archaic rules like cloister in ways it was never intended to be used to pass major pieces of legislation. After all the left did it first.
