President Twitter announced last week that North Korean missiles can reach the U.S. and nuclear miniaturization was the last element left to perfect. This week, viola, they completed miniaturization in a week. How convenient. Chump needs to stir nationalistic emotions to rescue his pathetic poll numbers. RESIST !!!!!!!

when Kim Jong-un is goaded into attacking the United States, than again, it would be over quick and what's left of this city would become a rallying cry just before Trump unleashes hell on the world.

This was NOT Bush V Gore, which also dragged in the Supreme Court. Dubya was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he was not a malignant con artist, whose reputation preceded him; just a normal Republican. Trump is exactly the the reason the Electoral College is alleged to exist The very number of lawsuits that he was involved in were enough to raise a very red flag. Three million more popular votes for Hillary, plus all those who voted for outside candidates, put Trump solidly on the loser end. Nonetheless, the Electoral College installed him

Hillary wins the popular vote by THREE MILLION, and we still get fucked? Definitely going in the wrong direction!

If the shoe were on the other foot, the GOP would be screaming to repeal it, and the Dems would likely go along. So where are the Dem voices now?

to raise Holy Hell if the popular vote/ electoral vote went the other way. The vote count was stopped even though Gore was eventually the real winner. You can be sure that had Dubya had been the "loser" in 2000, the Electoral College would have been gone by 2016 or the Republicans would still be screaming. A half million people were negligible? Then three million? THREE MILLION? My anger, as a person locally active for the Dems and back to a mom who personally welcomed JFK when he campaigned locally in 1960 , recruited "Kennedy girls" and shook hands with Ted, up to workng my adult ass off for Obama and Hillary, I'm starting to belive that it's all a farce.
