The point is, it should have been a blowout victory regardless of Comey's shenannigans. I guess what I'm saying is we need to focus on what went wrong with the Democratic party that led to Trump being at all competitive. There's a big dysfunction in the party, and focusing on Comey or Russia's meddling is dangerous if it distracts us from looking at the bigger problems.

Dude that is 100% exactly my line. The problem isn't Hillary's personal faults, it's an up and down ballot trainwreck of milquetoast centrists afraid of their own shadows.

The trend was clearly pulling back to Trump - I remember being completely disturbed about it at the time.

Trolly is apparently shocked, SHOCKED, that open white nationalism could be so popular in the United States that many would overlook Trump's other flaws and vote for him anyway.

Trump was a bad candidate for any other civilized country. We learned a lot about America, and what we learned was pretty disgusting.

True, but to be fair every other pundit made the same mistake aside from Scott Adams and awice.

It's why the Democrats worked to promote Hillary Clinton at the expense of the more progressive Bernie Sanders.

Trump was a freak event that the GOP did everything they could to fight against but lost. We could put up Booker for 2020 and I would definitely support him but it would a Trump-like shot for him to win in the primaries and he doesn't have the head start in celebrity power that Trump had.

Businessmen that have star power like Elon Musk or Mark Cuban would be way better as left-wing populist candidates than somebody from within the establishment attempting to destroy the establishment.

Something being called a "murder-suicide" at a San Bernardino elementary school. Will we forget this in 3 days or will it shape US policy for years to come? Stay tuned.

Not as far fetched as your post makes it out to be.

Trump is saying that the attack in Syria damaged or destroyed 20% of the Syrian Air Force.

Tillerson pretending to be mad at Russia is almost funny.

My mother went nearly 2 weeks without political posts.

After Trump bombed Syria, in came the fake news.

Memory of a goldfish.

One thing Earth Day celebrations have been lacking is a recognition of fossil fuels — at least according to the Independence Institute, a self-described “action tank” based in Colorado that receives funding from a litany of prominent conservative dark money groups.

“Enviros celebrate by planting trees but they never celebrate the trucks that deliver the trees, or the gas that powers that truck, or the plastic handles of the shovels they use,”*an email from the organization reads. “Shouldn’t Mother Earth be thanked for making Earth Day events possible?”
It's Koch backed obviously

So my mother-in-law knew Mitch McConnell in high school. Nothing interesting to report. She hates him now but apparently lacked the foresight to hate him back then.

You ever heard about how Sub-Saharan Africans were brought to North Africa and sold in open air slave markets?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...s-un-migration

Quote:
West African migrants are being bought and sold openly in modern-day slave markets in Libya, survivors have told a UN agency helping them return home.

Trafficked people passing through Libya have previously reported violence, extortion and slave labour. But the new testimony from the International Organization for Migration suggests that the trade in human beings has become so normalised that people are being traded in public.
