I wish you people would be as concerned about the *actual* abuses by the Obama administration as you are about the *possible* abuses by the Trump administration.
And we are supposed to value the opinion of someone named Trailer Trash who's bashing the Democrats? You guys aren't even trying anymore.
Show me anywhere that I bashed Democrats. It's all factual - they're literally losing their shit. Lawrence Lessig calling for the Electoral College to revolt is just more of it, particularly when he wants them to seat the loser in the election. Particularly since the loser embodies everything Lessig claims to be against.
One of the reviews was very insightful in that it pointed out that this $149 ornament was MADE IN CHINA. Trump supporters are suckers. He doesn't give a flying fuck about you. Neither does Hillary, but she isn't selling $149 ornaments. What a joke.
Everything that the left gets to riled up about Trump doing pales in comparison to similar actions on the other side.
I wonder if you will be making Hillary comparisons for the next four god damned years. Nothing can be said about Trump without a diversion to Hillary, it's fucking hilarious.
Uh, I was replying to someone who made the Hillary comparison. But the point stands: everything that the left thinks is so awful about Trump applies equally or more to their own candidates, they just choose to ignore it.

Yes, now even Trump agrees the election was rigged and is off by million of votes. So obviously it needs to be nullified and repeated.
I don't think people like you get it. If the election were repeated Trump's win would be monumental. There are a lot of folks like myself who didn't vote for him the first time but *would* vote for him the second time because we're so fed up with the utter bullshit from you looney-leftists. Trust me, you really don't want to see another election for four years. Hopefully you'll figure out what cost Hillary the election this time and come up with a reasonable candidate then. Otherwise, get ready for another 4 years of Trump.
I wanted to like Lessig - he seemed like an idealist who really wanted to push a single issue that was important to him: getting money out of politics. Of course, he's just a left-wing nut, so he actually doesn't want to get money out of politics - he wants to get Republican money out of politics. Anybody who actually wants money out of politics would be ashamed to support Hillary Clinton, a person who more than anybody in my lifetime has brought big money into politics. The hacked emails also show the various dark money that Democrats spend - Bernie Bros, etc. Lessig, if he were honest, would be outraged over this.
Democrats really need to get their shit together. I mean, mentally. See a psychiatrist, Lawrence. I'm serious. She lost, get over it. All of you. We're no worse off with Trump than with Clinton, but the difference is that he was elected.
She lost in places that don't have the money to buy fancy electronic voting machines because the people are poorer.
Maybe if Hillary and the rest of the Democrats had given two shits in hell about the middle and lower classes *before* the election she would have received more votes from them.
The summary in fact offers an example where conservative websites are emphasized and it happens to be on a topic where the conservatives usually have the facts on their side. Gun control. Like it or not the facts from an engineering and historical point of view favor the conservatives. The liberal side of the argument seems mostly emotion and embracing placebo "solutions".
Agreed, but that also describes the liberal view of minimum wage (at least when the liberals aren't the ones writing the paychecks).
What replacement for Obamacare exactly? The one where you pay more and only save by not having medical procedures done?
You do realize that people buying from exchanges have seen their premiums go up dramatically over the last couple of years, right? Health insurance is now more expensive for almost everybody than it was before Obamacare. The only thing Obamacare does, besides making health insurance more expensive, is let the federal government fine you if you don't get health insurance. Lovely.
I would plan for a lot of this sort of thing from him. False shows of decisiveness. A lot of people seem to think that "doing something" is what a leader does, even if that "something" isn't well thought out or planned.
Yeah, we know. That's the shit that brought us "obamacare":
Haven't you ever said "can't" when more proper English would be "won't" or "shouldn't" ?
Can I have a cookie? No, you can't.
Oops, "can't" apparently means "no, legally I can not" according to you.
It could just be that Obama meant: "I can't (in good conscience) pardon somebody who hasn't gone before a court and presented themselves, so that's not something that I would comment on at this point."
This is how we ended up with a guy who tried to claim that a certain argument depended on the definition of the word "is".
dark Democrat money wouldn't be pushing the fake news agenda
You forget to add "and the large number of people who are sick and tired of having to debunk uncle bob's emails to nana for her"
Two things:
1. Ironically, my only uncle is named Bob. He's 83 now and finally took me off his mailing list at some point last year. But, yeah, I get it. 2. That said, this has nothing to do with people like him. If it did, we would have heard about it before Trump won.
And likewise, you will consider Trump a failed president if he doesn't pardon Snowden? And you will consider him a failed president if he continues the Obama-era practice of deporting those deemed a threat to national security, border security and public safety?
If not, you're what we call a "hypocrite". I know, more of those pesky three syllable words, but you might try looking it up to see what it means.
The problem isn't Obama's failure to pardon Snowden. It's the lying. I'd have more respect for him if he said "I could pardon Snowden if I wanted to but I don't want to". Instead, he's lying about it so that idiots like you can claim that he wants to do the right thing but can't.
I'm not a Trump supporter. I suppose you live in the typical black and white world where I have to love one and hate the other, so if I say anything you consider "bad" about Obama that means I'm a Trump fan.
I live in a different world than you, one where people can actually have far more complicated opinions and can be critical of politicians of all stripes. But, I can understand how a simpleton would be scared of such a place where people think for themselves.
The top result in Google Search's "In the news" section was a Wordpress blog named "70 News," which falsely claimed Trump won the popular vote by a margin of almost 700,000. He didn't.
Yeah, but he did win in the way that matters - the Electoral College. I point this out because had Trump lost the dark Democrat money wouldn't be pushing the fake news agenda (oops, how did I know where this story came from?) so hard and Google really wouldn't care.
So... you are saying that because Obama isn't going to pardon Snowden, he is phoning it in?
People put WAY too many hopes into the role of president. You are only setting yourself up for disappointment if you do this.
The president has 0 power to do most of the things that people apparently think they do.
You know, at some point you people will have to admit that Obama failed. Completely. Give. It. Up.
In this case we know that the President absolutely has the power to pardon Snowden. The grandparent makes the case absolutely by showing precedent (that's a big word that means "it's been done before") and some of the uncle posts provide further links.
So, the President absolutely has this power. He knows it. He's playing both sides by saying "gee, I wish I could, but I can't." It's a lie, but it gives idiots like you (wow, how did I know?) the cover to drool out "duh, he wants to but he, der, doesn't have the power to pardon Snowden" when someone calls him out on it.
It's the same way Democrats have been promising illegal aliens that they'll take care of them and protect them from evil Republicans and make the citizens while at the same time Obama has ramped up deportations to the point that he's sent more home than Bush and Clinton combined.
You're what we call a "useful idiot". I know, more of those pesky three-syllable words, but you might try looking it up to see what it means.
and powering the hyper loop and putting us on Mars.
In short, its going to save the world from everything.
Can we please stop posting shit from Musk. He doesn't know shit. He got lucky before.boom and has been riding that ever sense. He gets some smart people around him to do the actual work, but he's still just an egotistical asshole who'll tell you anything to get your attention when he's not front and center.
We should probably just take all of Musk's lucky loot and redistribute it to people like you who really deserve it, right Bernie voter?
Oops, how did I "guess" that you're a Bernie voter? Amazing, I tell you!
It's the Trump supporters we have to be worried about, right? I keep hearing it, but all I see in the news is crazy leftist looneys rioting and beating up Trump supporters.
Also as do most liberals silentcoder fails to understand the concept of federalism. If the Commonwealth of Massachusetts chooses to experiment with a government subsidized health care plan and I don't think its in my best interest I can move to New Hampshire or Connecticut or even Texas, without giving up my U.S. citizenship.
And more to the point the Commonwealth of Massachusetts can actually experiment legally. The US government can't legally do anything with healthcare, anyway, as it's not one of the few powers granted to it by the Constitution.
It looks like maybe the Democrats have the issues. When you rig your primary to insure the candidate most hated by all conservative voters
I agree with you, but this misses the mark. Modern conservatives are very unlikely to vote for most of the people that the Democrats would run for President. I'm an independent who votes for both parties, so it's my vote they're courting.
That said, Hillary was hated by people like me, too, and that's the problem. I never would have thought it possible for the Democrats to run a candidate bad enough that I would hope for a Trump win but I actually found myself happy that he won.
Hillary's a left-wing coastal elitist from Arkansas. I cannot wrap my head around that, but that's what she is. Her "basket of deplorables" comment was so over the top - I mean, I honestly wondered if Trump didn't have a mole in her speech-writing team when she said that. Trump's supporters took it as a badge of honor to be called such by a rich left-wing elitist.
When the only way the cows get water when the pipes freeze in winter is to smash a hole in the ice on the pond and spend the day dragging 80-pound milk cans of water up a hill in snowstorm, you do not retreat to your safe space.
I made this point elsewhere. The article was referencing yet another college sending an email to everybody letting them know that there was a "safe space" available due to the election results, and the commenter was saying that had Hillary won they wouldn't be setting up safe spaces for conservative students. I agree, but at the same time conservative students don't need a safe space even if Hillary wins.
The left is really going to have to come to grips with the fact that there are a lot of people on their side who don't need a safe space - they need a psychiatrist.

Democrats didn't care. The MSM jumped on it - after a blogger exposed it. If it weren't for Charles Johnson they wouldn't have known.
I mean, it's really odd. Everybody who's so fucking concerned about fake news now didn't seem to be too upset when Dan Rather was pushing fake news.
Kind of like everybody who's so bothered by Trump being a pervert didn't seem to mind when Bill Clinton was being a pervert.
