Would those who voted for Trump behaved in the same fashion...? Would there be people
on the their knees praying that whatever they believed in would change reality?
Probably, in some quarters, for just a while - like it was when Obama got elected and the Socialists started taking over. Some folks bitched and whined to high Heaven, but it died down pretty quick to a dull, rumbling, grumble for the rest of his presidency. I don't think I would have been among those wailing, gnashing their teeth, and pouring ashes on my head... But only because I mostly expected Hillary to win, too. It sounded like the fix was already in to me. The only reason I got out and voted was to be heard, just a little bit. I expect there were a lot of me's in the voting booths that day. I already had a plan for Hillary to win, and it was the same thing that I was doing leading up to the elections - sitting around my house in the evenings, sharpening knives and loading magazines. We just call that "Wednesday" at our house.

for a non-political figure in the White House continues. If the security agencies were as useless as
this same media portray, then I'm just surprised the North Koreans aren't running through the
streets of America!
WHAT?
NORTH Koreans runnin' in the streets?
Damned Northerner Yankees at it agin!
Wait fer me, Maw - I gotta git muh hat and muh squirrel rifle, an' I'll be right there!
But yeah, that's got to be insulting to the intel agencies tasked with keeping America safe - to say they fell asleep at the wheel, and a news man had to discover the alleged nefarious plot betwixt Russia and Trump. I dunno for sure, but I'm thinking those particular folks are NOT the sort you'd want to insult and piss off like that...
... but what do I know? I got knives to sharpen and magazines to load!
P.S. - a liberal acquaintance of mine posted the alleged Intelligence reports on Facebook one day, insinuating that those reports were the smoking guns proving everything. I read them. Closely. Combed through them with a fine toothed comb. They did NOT say anything of the sort that he was insinuating - I could not find a single reference to his claims. Either I don't know how to read an intel report, or he don't. I know which way I'm betting on that, but there again I could be wrong - but ain't no one been tossed in the tank for it yet, and it's been long enough that someone should have, by now, if he read 'em right.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
