Just like the last black family that resided inside the White House

It's not how it's done because that's not how Fox News works.

Also: if you're snarking like the rest of us, Cool Story Bro, will rate highly on Amazon.

In case you're not: that's so unconstitutional you might as well say Bin Laden Wins.

Can't help talking sensible-like about U.S. voter suppression. Or being horrified. Heard and read a lot of sensible-like information on the subject from U.S. citizens. Who are justifiably horrified. Too many of their fellow citizens must be very very gullible or just plain nasty -- but then so are too many of mine in this country, and they are feeling emboldened by Mr. Trump and his cohorts. What the hell is WRONG with them?

Maybe they will begin to now, if not from principle and responsibility, then just from feeling furious at Trump's open, vindictive enmity towards any news service or journalist that doesn't truckle and crawl like moujiks to Ivan the Terrible. It's not as though exposing his lies is hard. They are so barefaced and crude it's a basic exercise for even a bad journalist to pick them apart like grilled sole.

I don't think it was a fluke. I think it was calculated, Machiavellian theft of the political process by the Republican Party. The greater part of it consisted of stopping all the potential Dem voters they could from voting, under the pretence of blocking voter fraud. Which just plain didn't exist, certainly not on anything like the scale they pretended. The Interstate Crosscheck system excluded hundreds of thousands of lawful, legitimate citizens from casting their ballots, and didn't catch one, not one, felon voting multiple times in different states. Not ... bloody ... ONE.

Wishful thinking, and needs needs needs to be done, but I just wish there was a financial incentive to do so.

Would also be nice if they could somehow reset their sense of impartiality (ahem MSNBC ahem NPR ahem ahem.)

That actually is true. He literally ranted at one point during the debates that Hillary shouldn't have even been allowed to run.

The even more appalling thing is that, since he keeps going on and on about "illegal votes," it becomes more and more certain that in fact there WERE illegal votes, for him, in the three states that put him over the top, if not more.

I have a sincerely held belief that Hillary Clinton won the general election by almost three million votes.

Aren't there laws that protect me when I do that?

You'e relying on gravity? You know that's just a theory, right?

You can't leave modern life behind. These days, it chases you. And rural areas are full of fascists.

We have got to be the laughingstock of the whole wide world for ever electing this mangerine in the first place. Thank dog that it's almost wine o'clock.

It's a wonderful thing that Trump is such a richly caricaturable person. Obama had the ears, and that was about it. Donnie's a veritable cornucopia of physicality to mock.

Mangerine is awesome. I'm stealing...which is totally legal now, thanks to the Drumpfenkatastrophe.

We were the laughingstock according to my friend in Germany, but now they're getting scared.

The real voter fraud was the disenfranchisement of 300,000 voters in the states he won by only tens of thousands of votes.
