> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > Hey asshole, maybe we’d shut up for 5 minutes if it weren’t for the frequency that Trump did or said something objectionable, immoral, false, or _dangerous_. > snip He “won” , sorta kinda, because he wanted to bask in the glory of having won. He’s not a president. He’s a dictator. A few days in office, and he’s already filling the swamp with venomous snakes and signing off on orders that he hasn’t even thought through. ---

[QUOTE=Johnny L.A.] February is a loser. It only has 28 days. Twenty-nine days, tops. Sad. [/QUOTE] I don’t feel sorry for February. It should just pull itself up by it’s bootstraps and work harder to get more days. ---

Well it is a black neighborhood and as Trump tells us, they’re all war zones filled with carnage. ---

No, the bad part is that he has. He’s just rather ignorant. He has no idea how to do the job, and is too prideful to delegate to people who do. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > I don’t recall you objecting to the screwy system when it elected Obama. Or objecting that it elected Bill Clinton. Could it be because both of them also won the popular vote, so it was a moot point? For that matter, have you bothered to check? There’s been plenty of discussion about the Electoral College over the years, here and elsewhere. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > They voted for her. She won the votes. Not crazy about her either, by a long shot, but she didn’t cheat. If Bernie couldn’t gather enough votes to be nominated, how can we figure he would gather enough to win? The “bed-hair” vote? So you don’t consider getting debate questions before the debate as “cheating” Everyone here made a huge deal about how the DNC’s bias was nothing more than a few personal feelings of individuals oat the DNC that never manifested itself. There was an insistence that anyone that thought otherwise was paranoid. It doesn’t seem quite as paranoid today as it did back then, does it? If the evidence of cheating had surfaced early enough during the primary, I think Bernie could have won. Perhaps in your neck of the woods the Trump voters were not reluctant. But they weren’t thrilled with Trump in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. They held their nose when they voted for Trump but did it anyway because he was running against Hillary. You can disagree about whether they made a rational choice between the two but the distaste for Hillary did not exist for Bernie and Bernie ran on some of the same populist sentiments that attracted people to Trump. The bigger collusion that subverted the DNC was all the colonization of the Democratic National Party by the Ready for Hillary crowd. The DNC and the Democratic machine lined up behind Hillary because it was her turn and there wasn’t any room for people like Biden (do you think Biden could have beaten Trump or does the fact that he couldn’t get enough support to even enter the race mean that he couldn’t have beaten Trump as well?). ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > You offer us evidence of disastrous and stupid Republican decisions, and then tell us the real problem is the left talking about it too much? Too loud? Too…_what_? Just as you say, thousands of lives squandered. We should have responded with a “tsk! tsk!”? How about an “Oh, dear me!”. So you don’t think the Left squandered credibility by crying wolf at Romney and McCain (pre-Palin). And now when the left says “that’s one bad dude” the rest of the country goes “oh yeah? Show me.” The left has sunk to the level of the Republicans and now both parties are just chasing the base. Republicans aren’t chasing conservatives and Democrats aren’t chasing liberals. Its all about the base, no treble. ---

No, it was “we strongly oppose all this stuff that Trump explicitly says that he plans to do”. Now it’s “we strongly oppose this thing that Trump actually did (which he explicitly said he would do)”. ---
