> [@SwissMan](#): > > Hitler lays blame on everybody for Germany’s impending defeat except for himself. It’s astonishing how much like Trump the portrayal is. “I take no responsibility at all” really summed up his first term, if not his entire life to date. It boggles the mind how his fans just accepted that. ---

How’s [this](https://www.yahoo.com/news/freedom-caucus-leader-says-north-164240525.html) for a stupid republican idea? (The link goes to Yahoo.) > The chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus says the North Carolina Legislature should consider allocating the state’s presidential electors to Donald Trump even before votes are counted in the swing state. But do you think he really cares that there was a hurricane? Oh, Hell no! Look at what other states he wants to jump on the magat-ridden train. > In his remarks, Raiklin argued that in addition to North Carolina, Republican-controlled legislatures in New Hampshire, Arizona, Nebraska, Georgia and Wisconsin could take similar steps by meeting on Election Day and awarding their electors to Trump. Harris asked Raiklin how he could justify his plan in other states that were unaffected by storm damage. Wow. He must be using his idol’s Sharpie and hurricane map to include fucking Arizona and Nebraska in this inanity. ---

Accusation: Fever dream Democrats used their super secret weather control machine to steal the election! Reality: Actual Republicans are advocating that a hurricane is grounds to steal the election. ---
