  1. So now we have punctuation nazis that have sprouted from all the grammer nazis?

    BTW: "vother" != "bother" :P

  2. Geez, me as an American can read the original posted dates. The one claiming they can't read and then stopped is just plain LAZY.

    Sure they did. Mandate was provided by the Electoral College for the entire country.

    There is no "everyone gets a trophy" in the Presidential election process.

    It is not a popularity contest. It is a selection by all states to be represented.

    Ummm, and the Republican Party was not formed until 1854 so to say the distortion that the EC was created to mute voices is bogus. Realize that the Republican Party was formed from the Whig party whose emphasis was on anti-slavery. Which the Demorcats in 1824 were pro-populism mainly from southern states. The didn't shift to their current liberal stance until Roosevelt (FDR) era.

    It is if you are looking at a popularity contest, but it is not.

    Other than saying X won the election but lost the popular vote really doesn't mean anything.

    I think it has been said before and in even in previous polls. We were headed in the wrong direction. We did not want the "status quo".

    So this election pretty much really was a choice between "continue on the same path" or "choose a different path".

    The popular vote in the United States Presidential Election is irrelevant. The popular vote however is used in other elections such as US Legislature and most state/city/county level positions.

  9. I wonder if the review will include the GA Election system that the DHS did an intrusion test on even after the GA Election office stated the did not require their assistance?

    I do not agree that she was not one as well. She also made quite a few promises to here constituents as well as donors. This is the first part make promises. The second part is using fear in order to gain support. Just based on the loss she encountered many liberal saw that the world was doomed. This was the fear she instilled by her and the current administration by trying to paint the picture that he will be the cause of the next World War or that he will have the nuclear launch codes. So by definition, the promises and fear seems to fit this pattern. So try and rationalize this anyway you want, but BOTH used fear and promises to gain the presidency.

    Exactly my point, "they get their shit from the same place". However, with the National Guard, they are commanded by the Governor of their state at least they are in my state. And YES they can be called by the state and the President as well. It is a dual command structure since 1933.

    The one advantage of the Chinese setup is you don't get a demagogue rising to the top purely by promising the ignorant and hateful everything they hope to get (basically make brown people go bye-bye isn't it?).

    The context in which it was used in the previous post was basically making campaign promises that every politician makes. They all try to appeal to their constituents with promises that will alleviate their concerns about the current direction. ALL of them do it.

  15. How did this turn into "about advertisers"? This is about major internet media companies sharing information about removed content they do not want on their site and perpetuating across other social media platforms. Quit getting sidetracked.

    Geez, really!!!, have you looked at the definition of demagogue? This describes EVERY politician running for or already in office. To continue to state this shows just how much you have been brainwashed by the media.

  19. Good, this is the step that will make them (Google, FB, Twitter, MS) irrelevant as a fact based system and people will stop using them. It is about time that somebody did something about biased opinions of the MSM. I just didn't expect them to do it to themselves.

    I am sure that someone will take up the true ideology of freedom of speech that will still provide unbiased information which is what is needed.

  20. Shill, see we can name call also, but we know it won't solve the issues that we are currently facing.

    Denying they do not exist also does not solve the issue.

    After tutoring math to a recent graduate from our current High School system, I agree we are not doing enough the teach the basics. When I had to always tell them, "Do not guess" or how would you prove that, I repeatedly got a blank stare or a deer in the headlights look.

    We need to revise the current curriculum to emphasize the basics first, then after that how/when to apply them as well as why they are being applied. You know, encourage independent thought.

    That shows you just how informed you really are. Or in this case, misinformed. Most of the state militias are called "National Guard", which I believe that last time I checked made up about 20-30% of deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. So before spouting utter BULLLSHIT, do some research.
