What king or queen? The US Constitution specifically outlaws titles of nobility.
Neither should we try to hold a candidate for Chief Executive to an impossibly high standard, which seems to be what the Trump crowd want to do--although, oddly enough, they don't seem to want to apply it to their own candidate.
I was taught "hangtianyuan" or "taikongren" but my wife confirms that "yuhangyuan" is also perfectly acceptable (but usually seen only newspapers and the like, according to her).
What I get from that map is that, despite a clear majority of states voting for Trump, their model still for some reason "predicts" a Clinton win.
You're either not American or you slept through civics class in high school.
The number of states doesn't matter. The populations of those states (and thus the number of electoral votes each one has) are negligible compared to those in the Clinton column. In fact, the only populous state that's likely to go for Trump is Texas.
You seem to have trouble distinguishing between what's real and what you'd like to be true. For one thing, the US doesn't lean even slightly to the left--it has A Slightly Right of Centrist Party and a Far To The Right Of Centrist Party.
You conveniently omitted all the fraud and tax evasion charges going back to the late 1980s that Nakoula had managed to rack up, even before he made the film. The film itself was fraudulently produced--few if any of the actors involved had any idea what the final version would actually be like, their lines were overdubbed later without their knowledge, and every single one of them later disavowed their roles in the film. He produced it under conditions (e.g. assumed name) that directly violated the terms of the probation that followed his 3-year stay in Federal prison on bank fraud charges.
A real environmental movement can also have bad faith actors posing as real environmental groups and sabotage the movement.
Whoah there, cowboy. That's exactly what I was implying, and it seems most rational folk could see that.
Perhaps you were in a bit too much of a hurry? Because it seems that you (a) managed to "understand" me exactly backwards, and (b) failed to read the post to which I was responding. Or maybe you thought were responding to another post, and not mine? Whatever.

You're the one who gave himself away by specifying his favourite amendment, smart guy.
Dunno, but I'd be interested in learning if he can eat borscht with chopsticks in zero-G.

You owe me a cup of coffee and a new keyboard. Well played, sir, well played!
It has one. It's called "Preview". How much did you pay for that 4-digit account, anyway?
As if a Russian or a Frenchman acting on the Russian's behalf couldn't register a domain in France?
*That's* the best you can come up with?
Even if Hillary *is* a lesbian, what of it?
This is supposed to make up for the fact that no man who actually cared about his daughter would leave her alone with Trump?
More false equivalence from the RWNJ lobby.
Paranoia is never "healthy". *Awareness*, however, is always a damned good idea.
It's pronounced Zhongguo, actually.
I've no idea how you managed to get that from my post. I'd call it a logic fail, but there's no logic there I can fathom.
Not shilling for anybody. I chose that article because it's slightly more complimentary than Gilthorpe's Wikipedia entry.

I fear you're arguing with someone who knows the cost of everything and value of nothing.
When Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, the Czechs bowed down and spread their arses wide open instead of actually fighting.
You really don't history very well, do you?
It's more like the Czechs had the rug pulled out from under them.
Very interesting that you should mention Czechoslavakia in that context...
Just admit it already--you're waiting for one shaped like Yoda.
Extra-judicially, maybe. Extra-judiciously? Doubtful.
We Europeans...
You don't speak for me.
*I'm* a dual citizen, Elroy. What would you like to make of that?

Who's Phil DeFranco, and why should I care?
She certainly manages to bring out the best in you, doesn't she?
