    I used to love watching Jay Carney field questions and squirm like he had to take an extreme piss. It was so freaking funny. It was like watching a lisping Pete Kendall shuffle his feet at the podium week after week to try to explain why the Jets lost. Pete Kendall, Team Captain, got banished to a dorm room, for those not in the know.

    I think Sarah Huckabee-Sanders handles herself pretty OK. Speaking of Sanders, Hillary pulled out Bernie's hippy chit rug out from under him. What a bitch.

    I smell a skeptic! YAY! Welcome to the fold! It's not believing in a religion, it's about being indoctrinated, and then defending an invisible thing as if someone insulted your Mom and then physically held a knife to her throat. Beliefs over people, OK. A must read: 'Why I Am Not A Christian' by Bertrand Russell. It's flawed, but damn, that essay is amazing. See KKK.

    The thing that always made me laugh was the trashing and rape of Native American beliefs and the trashing and rape of beliefs of indigenous people the world over. It's really very amusing in an unamusing way. The canonization of Junipero Serra pushed me over the edge about the"chill" Pope. I take it back. The canonization of POS John Paul II. I'm getting upset now.

    I wish a reporter would ask trump if he thinks he got any illegal votes, since he always screams about hillary getting 3 million of them.

    Think about how you feel about Scientology.

    The difference between organized classical religions and Scientology is that Scientology is trying to indoctrinate adults while most religions work from the cradle onwards.

    Trump is butthurt that he is a minority President who lost the popular vote, so he comes up with a whacky theory to explain why. It's all bullshit of course.

    The fool John Bolton starts his job tomorrow amidst Syria once again using chemical weapons on their people. Will he say a thing about their WMD? Let's find out. Syria is backed by Putin, so I'm not holding my breath or anything.

    That Al Gore guy who invented the internet and lost the popular vote, now we have to constantly deal with the popular vote even after Abraham Lincoln lost the popular vote twice and then got shot in the head! The Electoral College would probably confuse Isaac Asimov!

    Hillary Clinton stole the election from Bernie Sanders! Why aren't her cronies in jail?l! Super Delegates, thanks, Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick!

    IMO, we need to abolish the electoral college and elect the president by a direct popular vote. Only about 12 states really matter in presidential elections. We should also allow 3rd parties to participate in presidential debates to show people that there aren't only 2 choices to pick from. Something like top 4 in polling get to participate to ensure that the stage isn't too crowded.

    If you eliminate the electoral college a lot less than 12 states will matter.

    Another option is to eliminate the winner take all votes approach.

    The way it is set up now, if you live in a heavily red or blue state, your vote really doesn't matter.

    Can't they keep the electoral college system for the Senate (or some proportional version of it), and shift to the popular vote for the President? States represented in the Senate, but individuals represented in the President.

    But you notice how he arrived at the 3-5mil number? He says 3-5 mil voted illegally, and all for Hillary. He lost the popular vote by 2.8 million votes, so his number isn't too high to sound completely insane(it is anyway), but not small enough either. It's around the right number for him to say he should have won the popular vote if not for some shenanigans. Of course he got all the help from the Russians. This guy...

    Trump is the biggest hypocritical President probably ever. Here is what he had to say about the Electoral College before it helped him(with Putin's help):

    Now he comes up with insane theories to explain why he won the Electoral College vote but lost the popular vote.


    I love this reddit it's called Trump vs Trump. It's all about contradicting himself in his tweets. https://www.reddit.com/r/TrumpCriticizesTrump/

    Cohn oversaw the tax scams that hooked up the rich and then bailed out when Trump started the tariff shit with China. Cohen paid Stormy the $130k and then Trump never paid him back. He's been Trump's pitbull, now his ass is on the line. #TeamMueller baby.

    So get rid of the electoral college so that those 12 states have even more power? So Cali, NY, TX, FL, IL, PA etc control all the flyover states? I'm all about the 3rd party candidates but the election process needs work before a popular vote would be feasible.
