King Trump has made a “royal decision” to not arrest H. Clinton. How ya feel about that?
Presidents don’t get to “decide” whether to prosecute their former rivals. Not yet, anyway.
No, I think it’s a pretty good way of instantly illustrating widespread dastardly behavior.
I’m good with it. It’s hard to imagine a worse penalty than the one already visited upon her by the votership, given that every single thing she’s done and sacrificed for over the last 30 years at least has been with the idea of the presidential gold ring in mind.
No, but they can decide who to focus potential prosecutorial focus upon.
I’m pretty sure they’re not supposed to do that either.
In Starving Artist world, It’s OK If You’re A Republican.
If they have evidence of criminal wrongdoing then yes, they should have it looked into. If it’s a fishing expedition to punish or intimidate an opponent then obviously that would be wrong.
Trump is a very smart guy. No wars…he will be undoing the wrongs of Obama. Such as in Syria. American policy of working against Assad resulted in 300k people dead.
You have no reason to be paranoid. You only have reasons to be optimistic.
How many results do you get if you search “Trump elected President”?
How many times did Trump get elected President?
Google vomits prove, little to, nothing.
CMC fnord!
You mean, giving her over a (perhaps two) million votes more than bad-hair-guy? Repudiation indeed!
The U.S. is responsible for Assad deciding to respond with brutal violence to peaceful demonstrations in 2011, starting the civil war? The U.S. has been focused on Da’esh in Syria, and to a lesser extent to assisting the YPG and the Kurds, with the relative minor exception of the mostly empty threats of air strikes following Assad using chemical weapons in 2013.
More likely he will kill millions once he gets his hands on nukes. Nor is he smart; he’s just totally amoral, dishonest and selfish. A genuine monster.
They can if used properly, as in this case where it can readily be seen that electoral college voters have been receiving death threats all over the country (a phenomenon, btw, which tellingly has drawn not a single word of rebuke in this thread).
Probably because it is a “phenomenon”, not a phenomenon. After 3 pages of a search, I found a hit that was not a RW-foaming site, and they took the situation so seriously that they posted names and pictures of the electors. The AP link I found a few pages later mentions that one elector said he received death threats – in a brief sentence 200 words down into the text, only in that one little spot.
There may be some there there, but not much. Of course, it is enough to set your lame-ass dander aflame, but the rest of us just look upon you (or past you) with scorn, ridicule and pity.
Getting worse, too. We got a whole extra bumper crop of grumpy conservatives lately, makes tired ol’ SA look like a centrist from Lake Wobegon. Gonna have to up your game if you’re gonna stay ahead of the alt-right noobs.
No, I mean the voters in five states - Florida, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin - that went for Obama twice but rejected Hillary in favor of Trump this time. And I mean the voters everywhere in the country whose support for Trump was so widespread and so consistent that a person could drive 3,000 miles from one end of the country to the other and never drive through a single country that voted for Hillary Clinton. So yeah, repudiation indeed!
Even Hillary’s 2 million or whatever popular vote total is damning with faint praise, given the overwhelming numbers of Democratic votes in the liberal hotspots of CA/NY. If even they couldn’t pull her ass out of the fire, the distaste for her in the rest of the country couldn’t be more obvious.
But most of all (and I’m sure this obvious, even to you), I’m talking about the voters who are the reason that Hillary spent Tuesday sobbing hysterically while Trump and his family were taking the stage, basking in his victory at having been elected the next President of the United States.
Aw, now, luci, you oughta know better than that. I’m no more “ol’” than you are. And not only that but I’m fairly confident I could outdo ya any day of the week when it comes to feats of physical prowess and daring-do. Of course you have the disadvantage of having misspent your youth in dirty hippiehood, most likely drugged out and sedentary for at least a decade and a half, roused to action only when a rock concert broke out or a college admin building needed occupying, and have likely spent the intervening years do-gooding up a storm in a cloud of non-store-bought cigarette smoke while paying no mind whatsoever to conservative he-man stuff like working out and building up muscles and so forth. So unless I’m waaay off-base - and I’d be most happy to hear about it if so - I wouldn’t go around casting aspersions as to others’ supposed infirmity if I were you.
And of course I mean all that in the kindest way. 
You don’t have to out hacky-sack me, you have to out goosestep them. I’m not a party to this, just an observer, somewhere between bored and bemused. Maybe time to pass the baton? Cardboard tube. Whatever.
Pass the baton? Nah, I prefer to stay in the race, thanks.
Umm, no. To accomplish that, you would have to carefully plan your route, which would have to avoid interstate highways. I suspect that, in the end, you would be driving closer to four thousand miles.
Here’s an excruciatingly interesting profile of Trump’s son-in-law and chief campaign architect, Jared Kushner. (So interesting and probative that I may even start a thread about it!)
Anyway, it turns out that Trump winning by virtue of the electoral college was not mere happenstance but the targeted goal all along, and this profile describes how Kushner employed various bits of high-tech-ery and brain power and money to bring it about.
Most of the pertinent info is located toward the bottom of the first and top of the second of the three pages of the article, but I found the entire piece interesting and informative. Knowing what I know now I find myself curious to know how things would have played out in a popular-vote-only scenario where Trump’s campaign would have used the same tactics but focused more heavily instead on winning the rural and conservative parts of CA, NY, etc. in order to offset the heavily Democratic big city areas. Frankly, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they managed to figure out a way to pull off victories there too.
