If we never see any additional email leaks related to Hillary or the DNC going forward it's pretty safe to assume that it was someone who really didn't want them to get elected and since that even has passed, they have no further interest.
One of the most satisfying outcomes of the recent election is that nobody really cares about Hillary Clinton anymore.
It doesn't matter if he was bullshitting then, or bullshitting now.
President Trump
(this could get to be like the Burma Shave signs. Except we couldn't put them on the highway, there would be too many pileups of Liberals, and they lease expensive cars)
I would not say that Trump 'got the Republican base out.'
My father is a lifelong Republican, and he was kinda a Jeb fan. He refused to vote for a Presidential candidate in this election. For the first time in his life, and he's 87 years old.
Trump energized a lot of people who normally aren't particularly interested in elections. It went against the Republicans as much as the Democrats. The musty old US Chamber of Commerce Republicans are not happy.
How do you prove that having "Dump Towers" on Google maps for a few minutes is what did the damage and not him talking about grabbing women's pussies?
You have a point, but so far I haven't heard about Trump suing whoever released that recording of a private conversation. It certainly makes sense that he could, if he thought it was important enough to do so.
The people who fought for the slaves only counting as 3/5 of a person were the Northerners. The Southern states wanted slaves counted a full person in the population. It would have given the southern states more power in the Federal legislature, and they still wouldn't have allowed the slaves to vote. In fact, if the slaves hadn't been counted as only 3/5 of a person, the South would have had more clout in the Federal government, might never have seceded, we might not have had a civil war, and slavery might still exist.
That would work out pretty well. People who want to have 'more of a say' as an individual in the election could move to the states with smaller populations. Just as it stands now.
In fact, the KKK did have a majority of the legislature in the state of Indiana in the 1930's. The KKK at that time was a more populist organization, similar to the Lions Club or the Freemasons. There were KKK organizations in each community and it was a mainstream thing. The women's auxillary would bake cakes for events, etc. I don't advocate the KKK or anything like them, but those are just the facts. The KKK as it presently stands is like the neo-NAZIs. A few fringe loons who represent pretty much nothing except their sole loonyness. If there was still a mainstream KKK the loons who think they are the klan now probably wouldn't be allowed to be members.
We should really let California secede from the Union, like some Californians are advocating.
What would be really cool would be for California to secede, and have Mexico invade and take California back. We didn't have California until James Polk was president and we fought a war against Mexico. California was sort of war booty. There are Mexican nationalists who haven't given up on getting California back.
The Popular Vote doesn't mean anything. At all. For it to mean anything, there would need to have been a binding Popular Vote before the campaign started. The candidates campaigned based on the Electoral Vote system, and would have campaigned differently if the vote was a popular vote. Thus the 'popular vote' numbers are the result for an election campaign that never happened.
As it stands, the 'Popular Vote' is just something journalists do to get us to buy their publications and watch their 'shows.' It's just a gathering up of numbers from the elections, which are held in each state.

Also everyone should come to my apartment to see my cats.
Can't you put pictures of them, maybe even videos, on your facebook?

You'd probably find that many educated non-Americans know as much or more about US civics than most Americans.
You're the one who is supposed to say smug stuff like that about the stupid Americans, dintcha know?

It doesn't matter what Donald Trump says about the Electoral College.
It.
Doesn't.
Matter.
President Trump. That's who he will be in late January.
It was this nutty when Reagan was elected. So I've seen it before.
We'll survive it.
Except some of those sucking-chest-wound Hillary supporters.

And the best thing is, because Trump doesn't belong to a protected class, it won't be wacist.

But it's not.
Suck on it, losers.
And Trump will appoint two, maybe three Supreme Court Justices.
Suck on it, brother.
Since when has anyone who is not an Obama critic been concerned with a Constitutional crisis?
Duh! The election didn't go the way the it was supposed to. Obviously there will now be Constitutional crises.
C'mon, it'll be fun!
Do you promise to wear your brown shirt.
And those cool cuff-links?
I suggest Obama declares a state of emergency until we can figure this out.
We are not a banana republic. Get that through your head.
I know you're just trolling, but grow up.
It would have been more fun if the harridan had won.
Your boring got stuck on 'on.'
Fidel can be corpse of the year.
Are they going to stuff and mount him, like Lenin and Mao?
Didn't Obama collect all the '93 stations wagons in the Cash For Clunkers deal?
The Superdelegate system that the Democratic party uses at their convention makes the Electoral College look fresh and clean.
We are faced with no good choices with Trump. Just lesser evils.
That's just your point of view. Some of us voted for Trump.
And Trump did some very good things for the country:
He ran the Bush Dynasty out of power. They're pretty much done.
He defeated the Clinton Family and now all we have to worry about is they'll probably pull some shit in a decade or so with Chelsea.
No matter what Trump accomplishes as president, those are two good things that came out of this election.

The trunk of my 1984 Volkswagen Jetta could carry two old vacuum tube mainframe Tektronix oscilloscopes. With room to spare. That was a trunk.
