    What's stupid is that land and even the most idiotic of voters get to vote here.

    Donvict would not have won if it wasn't for the EC, and likely would not have had a second term after that first loss.

    The truth is that so many eligible voters chose NOT TO VOTE (almost 110 million people). The presumption here is that most of those people would not have voted for the child rapist but either hated Kamala more or did not mind the child rapist as president enough to mail a envelop

    Oh, he won the popular vote with Kamala; I was talking about the first time around in 2016.

    If it wasn't for the EC, Hillary would have won and we might have avoided this decade+ of awfulness that having the EC choose him for us has wrought.

    We have a terrible system where land counts more than people in many cases.

    And I of course was being a bit hyperbolic about being annoyed that stupid people can outvote smarter people.

    But yes, if a whole lot of people just don't even bother to vote that's obviously problematic. Of course, the conservatives want to make it even harder for people to vote, so only the most motivated people are going to show up, especially in places where the conservatives intentionally make voting difficult.

    He won the popular vote for his second term. Abolishing the EC after his first term wouldn't have stopped this.

    Ignoring the fact that there’s also both external and internal US voter manipulation and election fraud, but sure.

    Title: Trump Calls Obama a “Son of a Bitch” (…)

    Trump said: “(…)They laughed at Obama, and said he’s a stupid son of a bitch.“


    Why are journalists doing this? This is just abuse of English. Things like that should be sanctioned. And it does not matter what the topic is or if you like the person in question or not.

    I hate this.

    If Wikipedia had an article called "Son of a B*tch", this would be the photo used.

    Obama: unfreezes $1.7B of Iranian assets

    Trump: gives $300B of American taxpayer $ to Iran

    The only way i can see Obama being considered a son of a bitch in this case is along the lines of "that son of a bitch managed a stellar peace deal compared to that fucking moron Trump"

    Obama's deal makes Trump's look bad by comparison so the whole thing is basically his fault.

    I heard that Obama is also responsible for the shit in his diaper, too.

    April 30th 2011 is the turning point. Obama roasted Trump so hard at the White House Correspondent's dinner that night that Trump locked in on running for president out of nothing more than pure spite.

    Donald Trump is here tonight! Now, I know that he's taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter—like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?

    But all kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. For example—no, seriously, just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice—at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team cooking did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn't blame Lil Jon or Meatloaf. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.

    Well, Donvict was clearly worked up over Obama Presidenting While Black - it was obvious from all his stupid racist birther bullshit.

    Sure, he wasn't the only one (anyone remember Orly Taitz, LOL?) but he quickly became the spearhead for the racists that were so GRRRR MAD that a black man was their President and tried to make their white hot racist rage all about long form birth certificates. It seriously broke the brains of the Republican Party/conservatives to have Obama as their President. I mean, they were already bad before, but after Obama, they only got worse. When conservatives blame Obama for their turn to someone as shitty as Donvict as their option, they are not exactly wrong, but they are not really understanding that they are telling on themselves.

    Someone as disgusting and gross and racist like Donvict was almost bound to happen as a result of having a black President. Also, after the China White of someone like Palin, they were not going to settle for the methadone of Jeb! or Romney.

    They wanted someone that would tell them to be their worst selves and be proud of it, because this country was "taken" from them and they need to "take it back". They viewed equality as oppression. They wanted someone that was the manifestation of Faux News, and Donvict is exactly that.

    Idk why people say this. It wasn't the turning point. Trump had been hounding Obama on the false birther issue since he was elected practically, stoking the flames of the tea party. It was inevitable he was going to run.

    I call Obama a son of a bitch too, but more like, "goddamn that son of a bitch is looking fly".
