    Ah but she may or may not have. You are stating something as a fact when it is not a fact... and like I said its a stupid response by leftist idiots. She lost. She lost 'bigely' so get over yourselves and move on.... just like 'you' said the right needed to do for the past 8 years.

    Depends on the next two years... so dont count chickens until they hatch. IF drumph does turn around the economy the Rs will probably get a super-majority in 2018. This is what the left fails to grasp. For most people it is NOT about moral issues it about feeding your family. Whoever does that best gets the avg joes vote.

    1) She probably didnt get more votes than Drumph. They dont count absentee ballots. That is an estimated 9 million votes not counted. Based on how fucked she did in most previously blue states INCLUDING loosing in Michigan. Its a stretch to say that she won the 'popular' vote.
    2) The US is not a fucking direct democracy. Its a Constitutional Republic. FFS the original intent was that people would not even directly vote for the president. It was ALWAYS about the electoral college PICKING the next president.
    3) It was not even close. The final tally - if Killary had not conceded - would have been 304 - 305'ish for Drumph.
    4) You are right you do NOT NEED A MAJORITY to win. See point 3 for why you are an idiot.

    For the past eight years the left has bitched and moaned about the right not respecting election results. So it is time to cowboy up, shut the fuck up and STOP FUCKING RIOTING LIKE A BUNCH OF SPOILED BRATS. Protest all you want but dont burn down homes and beat people to death just because your 'team' lost.

    Drumph did not 'win', Clinton lost. This was all vote against Hillary. All the left had to do was put a paper bag up for President and it would have been President elect paper bag right now. So maybe stop blaming 'others' and start looking at yourself and what you were trying to support.

    Sorry but TS code-word documents are ALWAYS classified. They are assumed to be code level TS the moment they are created. They can be retroactively changed BUT there is always a paper trail when this is done.

    They found over a hundred on a unsecured server she owned and operated. They have testimony that Hilly told staffers to strip out the classification on them and authorised them to be sent to HER server via email. There is no record of those documents being declassified (with reasoning behind said change) ANYWHERE.

    Actually at one point they DID do precisely that. They even had their own 'stable' of artists that much like baseball were groomed early on, given small parts to learn their art and then turned into stars (eg kurt russell). The government stepped in and made it illegal. Thus the shit show that we have now with regards to cinemas. Thankfully that is changing and smaller film makers can sell directly to the gen public via alternate means ;)

    I dont think it 'defeats' the original intent. No more than converting from DVD mailer to streamer company did. Their intent has been to give customers entertainment at a reasonable price. Just because the market demands they start making their own instead of streaming rehashed dog turds does not mean they have strayed too far from their original goal. Hell the end result is a net win for consumers as DD and their other original content is getting better all the time... AND showing others that NO you dont have to bow down to big companies to 'get' good entertainment. IMHO the faster the dinosaurs dragging their feet die off and are replaced the better it will be for society.

    This law was inacted because Henry Ford was a 'douche' back in the day and they wanted to stop it from happening. BUT unlike then the industry has a lot more players all with competitive products. If a company wants to sell direct they should be allowed to. That is how it works with - for example - mattress.

    Until then its a niche, will stay a niche and is not ready for prime time for most people.
