Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

No sh-t.

La Stampa reports that the dried blood of San Gennaro (Saint Januarius) failed to liquefy in a ceremony in Naples, and that failure is being taken by some as a harbinger of bad news.

Yeah, but how bad are we talking?

1631: Vesuvius eruption
1939, 1940, and 1945: WW2
1973: Cholera
1980: Earthquake

Oh.

Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

Did anyone catch SNL over the weekend? The opening skit with our new SoS and Putin talking and Donald trying to understand/on the outside looking in would've been funny if it wasn't so sadly true. Our president probably won't have any say in these kind f international issues.

Also, over the weekend a friend of FB posted this video from a young, African American kid with the same "you lost get over it message" but one of the things he said was how there was not one bit of proof that Russia hacked the election. Now, I don't know if he actually did this video before the CIA and the FBI actually came out to say it happened. But if it was after, does this kid not read/see/hear any news?

Sorry about that "most" comment. That was my own turn to be a snippy asshole.

Fair enough

Russian ambassador to Turkey gunned down by Turkish security man bad?

I just have a gut feeling that will not end well.

This is how free speech dies.

Put up your signs and bumper stickers, keep writing, keep talking, don't cower to these as-sholes. Terrorists have 10,000 times the impact via terror than via actual violence. Plus, bullies really do back down when you fight. The far right is peopled by cowards. If you look the Deplorables right in the eye, they will look down. Something in them realizes what hateful losers they are, that's why they act out whenever they have a couple Bud Lights in them.

F-ck them. This isn't Russia, is it Danny?

If they did it, the Russians are pretty bold. "Prove it".

From that same CNN story link:

What is known about the hacking
• Data and thousands of emails were stolen from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, among other targets.
• US intelligence agencies in October pinned blame on Russia for campaign-related hacking.
• WikiLeaks, which published much of the information obtained by hacking, has refused to reveal its sources.
• The United States has not alleged that Russia interfered with the voting process on Election Day.

I loved the Hillary Clinton Love Actually sketch.

Baldwin's Trump is perfect. He manages to capture the preening vacuity of the man.

Whoever played Putin needs to work on his guns, and it would have been better to get somebody shorter. I was amazed to recently discover that Putin is a wee man.

Whatshername who plays both Hillary and Crowley is extremely good.

This is something like the tenth story about ****ty people acting out in Minnesota since November. I'm probably just imagining it, but I don't recall things like this happening with such frequency before the election cycle.

Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

Now it seems that four WA electors have voted for someone other than WA winner Clinton.

It would be politically correct to point out the causation of such behavior. And being politically correct died the day after the election.

Just do it. Vote for Stan Lee. Or Bill Lee. Or Bruce Lee. Or Sarah Lee. Sh-t, vote for any object other than either or them.

Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

You know Trump is using his tiny hands to jerk off his tiny ***** after more faithless electors defected from Clinton than him. You just know it's true.

We're all going to hear about it endlessly for the next week and a half. Thanks a__holes.

Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

It looks like each of the Faithless has been ruled out of order and then has either switched or stepped down and been replaced by someone who has voted for the main candidate. So far there are 0 faithless who have counted.

Hopefully the WA ones stand up, because Faith Spotted Eagle got a vote.

Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

Seriously, I hate that they were ruled out of order. We selected them, they should have the right to vote for whomever they please.

All these advantages will happily combine in the plan devised by the convention; which is, that the people of each State shall choose a number of persons as electors, equal to the number of senators and representatives of such State in the national government, who shall assemble within the State, and vote for some fit person as President. Their votes, thus given, are to be transmitted to the seat of the national government, and the person who may happen to have a majority of the whole number of votes will be the President. But as a majority of the votes might not always happen to centre in one man, and as it might be unsafe to permit less than a majority to be conclusive, it is provided that, in such a contingency, the House of Representatives shall select out of the candidates who shall have the five highest number of votes, the man who in their opinion may be best qualified for the office.

Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

So someone should be punished because they're more successful than someone else? And how does that give someone the incentive to actually be productive and make the country succeed? Or are you also supporting schools' near future policy of deciding, in kindergarten, what a child will do with his/her life, and possibly use Communist Chinese-style enforcement with execution vans? Evidently you think the populace should be brain dead.

How are taxes "punishment"? And they certainly beat the alternative, roving gangs of the "economically anxious" storming the gates of your walled community.

Why are the only ones currently being "punished" those who haven't been successful?

Here's the thing, though, we don't select our electoral college reps in MN anymore. They're selected by the party bosses, and assigned when the candidate is registered for the election as their parties' candidates. So either we're skirting the law and not having a vote to select our ECRs, or the definition of "each State shall choose a number of persons as electors" has been grossly skewed over the years.

Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

Your point was taking people away from their families on a holiday. So yes, they are.

You must really hate the armed forces then. Jesus, you're frickin' stupid.

Probably all of the above.
