"How could my baseball team have lost when we got 20 hits, and the other team only scored 5 runs!"

But you can always count on Jimmy to keep on whining "but the POPULAR vote".....

[Teallaura]

With a minority popular vote and the help of a foriegn adversary. Not to mention the continued republican tactic of repressing the democrat vote. It appears the republican party no longer cares for democracy and will do whatever it takes to upend it. All I can say is be careful what you wish for.

The popular vote only matters in state. Clinton ignored Wisconsin all by herself, knowing full well how the College works.

[Teallaura]

The Interstate Compact is 72% of the way there...

It would be nice to be able to cast a meaningful vote for president for once.

Will you think so when all you electors go to a candidate your state voted against?

She shoulda listed to Bill Big Dog Clinton! He tried to tell her!

[JimL]

Jim, that's TOTALLY beside the point - everybody who runs a presidential campaign knows they need to gear their campaign for electoral college votes -- until that changes, it's just birdbrained stupid to keep citing "popular vote".

If it is a stupid system, which it is, then I don't give a hoot what everybody running knows. A differential of few thousand votes in 3 states shouldn't trump a popular vote win of 3 million. Neither should small states like N. Dakota for instance get the same 2 Senators as large states get like California or Texas.

Because you're an idiot. When you play a game, you acquaint yourself with the rules. Only a DUMMY would declare "I don't give a hoot" about the rules.

[JimL]

And it paid off.

Hillary is not POTUS
SCOTUS is not Hillary's

And the result is a lot of dummies crying about "but the POPULAR VOTE....."

That's not the risk you took electing Trump. Perhaps you'll figure it out some day.

Yeah, well, you work on trying to understand the Electoral College in the meantime.

[JimL]

Not only that but Mueller was recently slapped down by a judge for claiming that the Kremlin was behind the anemic social media campaign when he had failed to establish any connection whatsoever, and he's prohibited from saying it in future, which seems to have monkeyed up the Democrat plans for Mueller's testimony.

Jeez, two and a half years and you're still in denial concerning the Russian interference. You are definitely Trumps kind of guy, MM.

Can you try to not be such a jackass all the time, CP. For one thing Presidential elections are not a game, and for another, I didn't suggest I don't care about rules, what I said was that in my opinion the rules in this case are idiotic and should be changed.

[Cow Poke]

Did widdle jimmy dit hid widdle feewins huwt?

For one thing Presidential elections are not a game,

I almost changed that because I thought you might be so stupid as to not recognize that as.... You never fail to prove how ignorant you really are.

[Cow Poke]

...I didn't suggest I don't care about rules, what I said was that in my opinion the rules in this case are idiotic and should be changed.

Smoking that wacky weed causes memory loss, Jimster. Here's exactly what you said...

If it is a stupid system, which it is, then I don't give a hoot what everybody running knows.

It doesn't matter if "it's a stupid system" or not -- it's what IS. And you're an idiot if you "don't give a hoot" about "what everybody running knows", because that's they only way they can WIN!!!!

If somebody loses a baseball game* because they focused on getting more hits instead of more runs scored, the rest of the world would think they were nuts if they complained, "But WE GOT MORE HITS!!!!"

Even my dog Jake understands that.





*(this is one of those "analogy" thingies, Jimmy - running for POTUS is not baseball, and anybody with an IQ above squid poop will get that)

Keep up with the news, Jimmy.

Mueller is banned by judicial order from claiming that he established that the Russian government was involved in a social media campaign.

He doesnt have to say it. 8 of our intelligence communities said it long before his report was created.

And they have also warned of even more intense efforts at the same in 2020.

The interference was actually minimal although the results, thanks to the Democrats, was far more than Putin and his gang could have ever hoped for.
