Well the majority didn't vote for him anyways. But the dumb ass electoral college exist, so it doesn't even really matter what most of the US cares about.

Hopefully districts get redrawn to a more realistic representation of the country insted of the Republicans gerrymandering everything to hell for their own advantage.

Yeah, but that also won't really help with the next Presidential Election. Though a few more Democratic governors might help with voter suppression.

Michael Avenatti has been arrested for domestic violence.

Honestly can't say I am surprised. I am sorry for whomever had to go through this. On the more cynical side, probably means he will finally go away.

Michael Cohen has given 80 hours of testimony to prosecutors, not 50, as hitherto reported. Clearly, Trump’s former lawyer has a lot to get off his chest

There are rumors, too, of Trump mistresses paid to have abortions and kept quiet with non-disclosure agreements. One source tells Cockburn that there could be as many as eight such women.

Yeah, damn that representative democracy, that a majority of the developed world practices in various ways. The UK, Canada, Australia, most of Europe, don't determine it by the popular either.

Fox News is apparently supporting the Acosta lawsuit.

That is going to sting the old ego.

Wait...they actually agree with Acosta. Is this...has hell frozen over?

It's all about their own self interest.

Which isn't actually an argument for it, just an observation of it's usage.

 

[Aximili86]

In the majority of the western developed world. It's a different way of doing it, but they still do it by seats, broadly similar to the college system. It's not most individual-votes wins.

Not an American thing, at all. People figured this out many decades ago that it's the fairest way to do it, you just see the backlash to it every now and again when an election doesn't go the preferred way of those that tend to get vocal on it.

Feel like this tweet


is the equivalent of this

 

[squeekness]

Pretty much, lol.

We don't have your electoral college or extremely lopsided Senate that gives disproportionate power to small, rural states. We also don't let politicians decide the mapping of electoral districts. Also, if your system worked like ours, the leader of the Democrats in the House would be President/head of government after the most recent election.

And he's doing a tweet-tantrum about Mueller again this morning:

Hysterical.

Indictment Friday should be fun.

Sebastian Stan makes some of the greatest reaction gifs.

He really does

 

[Schlosser85]

The guy just makes awesome facial expressions.

I appreciate that his directors have just let him go that far on a number of occasions. We need that material for times like this.

And he's doing a tweet-tantrum about Mueller again this morning:

If one is foolish enough to believe a word of this or back this man at this point, can they be helped?

Especially The Mad Hatter. That role was a gif goldmine of Stan hamming it up.

Cheetoh knows the inner workings of Mueller's investigation as well as he knows the inner workings of how laws get passed.
