The problem is... even if it is not completely implemented some things will do cause the same effect than throwing a stone into a peaceful water. The waves are the ones that can have dumb effects. As much as I don't like it, (but I do realize about it), America and what happens in America has consequences in many other places over the world.

If this election has proved anything, it is that the waters in America are anything but peaceful. On the surface, it might have appeared calm but it has become apparent that there was a maelstrom churning below.

My observation of the anti-Trump protests is that it mostly involves young people. This is their first fake-Hitler scare. They don’t realize that Reagan was compared to Hitler, both Bush presidents were compared to Hitler, and Romney was compared to Hitler. I assume lots of European and other leaders have also been compared to Hitler. You might want to point that out to any young person who thinks this is the first time we’ve seen this.
It's very easy to judge people simply because of what you have seen in the media, who don't always report objectively, or by listening to those we believe have our best interest at heart who we mostly agree with. It's not necessarily so easy to realize those same individuals do not always get it right. Or realize sometimes rational people can panic just as much as irrational people. It can be even harder to wait to pass judgement until we see what actions the newly elected will take. I don't like either Clinton or Trump, I think they're both nuts. But the country has had it's say and according to the constitution, Trump is now president of the U.S. I'll start to compare him to Hitler when he starts ordering illegals—and other undesirables—to be lined up against a wall and shot. And I'll call anyone who follows that order a coward.

We can all rest easy on the fact that the U.S. Constitution prevents Trump, or any branch of government, from accumulating the level of power and authority that Hitler did. Unless they find a way to throw out the Constitution, we don't have to worry about the U.S. turning into a fascist state like Nazi Germany. Now, have we set the country back about 50 years? That is the question.

Not quite. President elect, or next president. Also there is a mighty slim chance the electoral college could elect someone else. However, I do not know all the rules about this. Other than that, well said. There were people saying President Obama would make us a Muslim state, but that did not happen.

After getting a brief education in fascist corporatism I can say that the signs are there. You can't name one regulatory body in the federal government that doesn't have a cozy relationship with members of the of the very industry they are supposed to regulate.

I am not sure how it came about but sometimes, in America at least, "getting a cup of coffee" is sometimes said "getting a cup of java", or a "cup of joe". Not a coffee drinker so I never bothered to figure it out.

Very, very slim chance. Most states have law against electors changing their pledged vote, though it has happened. Some states laws go so far as to invalidate the vote of an elector who has changed they pledged vote. But yes, we won't know 100% until Dec. 19, the Monday after the second Wednesday in December.

Ah, research.... It appears that when the java programming language was released, it used a coffee cup icon. So, I imagine that Chris continued the tradition. It would also be appropriate since the Dutch planted coffee on the isle of Java in the 1600s and that became a generic term for coffee much like wines are identified by the region they originate, coffee apparently does the same thing.
