EPN thinking of canceling the meeting.

Bad call, EPN needs to keep the meeting scheduled and then punch Trump to the ground in front of all the cameras and then teabag him.

This is literally the only thing that resurrect EPN's approval ratings.

I wonder what Trump has to do before these "leaders" actually stand up to him. It is a bit odd how he just shits on everyone and they smile and take it.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

EPN has openly stated he would not be confrontational.

This is part of the reason why EPN is a loser with a 15% approval rating.

Get someone in his ear who understands politics for fucks sake.

This is just...I can't even. GOP Senators tweeting this to get information from a GOP president.

Holy fuck

 

[Coriolanus]

But that could be abused to disqualify people you don't like from voting. (gasp)

I wonder if they'll take a page from the Stephen Harper playbook and have Republican auto-dialers direct targeted voters to the incorrect polling stations. That happened in Canada in 2011.
Have them show up, vote and then disqualify their votes after the fact because they voted in the wrong place. How amusing that would be.

This reminds me... have there been no efforts by the dems to make voting in rural areas considerably harder? Seems like a bit of an obvious route to take and all.

Don't worry, Kim Jong-un has you covered and is testing nuclear missiles next month.

"One way or another, Mexico will pay for it."

Fucking really.

The courts are going to strike this down. I can't even see Thomas or Alito going for this shit.

@jaketapper
.@seanspicer suggests the Trump investigation into voter fraud will focus on "bigger states" such as CA and NY

It's just because he's hurt that he lost the popular vote.

Unreal.

Also, there's a higher-than-50% chance this investigation never happens.

The next time some bullshit GOP elected or right wing conservative blow hard tries to call the dems big government and tyrannical, I want the dems to tell them to STFU.

Backbone should have started long before this though.

Right on both accounts.

The only positive here is that GOP have completely destroyed their standing as small government supporters.

Pretty much every single republican administration does that. They always get a pass. The base doesn't care when their team is in power. Same thing happens with government debt.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Hillary went from the most efficient rigger of all time in the primary to someone so stupid that she made sure her vast organization of illegal voting only took place in New York and California?

Sent that illegal voting to Pennsylvania and Arizona and Michigan for christ's sake, Hillary.

We're never gonna have a free election again. Maybe getting invaded by another country wouldn't be so bad.

They have destroyed their standing on a massive number of issues. Before and now.

Yes, but I have faith it will finally be bad enough that the media and democrats will get their act together and be able.to message it correctly.

 

[Diablos]

Dems really just need to spread out like 40,000-60,000 voters from CA and NY across the rust belt in the next 4 years. Pay them ffs

Easier said than done I know

We really need a strong advesary for this guy. Someone that pushes his ego buttons so much he has a public meltdown and exposes himself enough for people to wake the fuck up

dude is not normal

Yall hear whats going on in south Dakota?

http://www.salon.com/2017/01/25/sou...n-political-coup-against-anti-corruption-law/

Republican lawmakers in South Dakota have refused to enact a ballot measure instituting campaign finance, lobbying reforms, public financing for campaigns and creating the first independent ethics commission in the state’s history. The bill passed with 52 percent the vote.

Virginia GOP will be trying to separate Electoral College votes by gerrymandered districts. You know, just like the founding fathers wanted it.

The GOP has never had unquestioned power like this before. You think they're going to be willing to give it up without pulling every dirty trick imaginable?
Why would they have respect for a fair election process when they've shown blatant disregard for everything else? And that stuff DOESN'T potentially take their unquestioned power away from them.

The founding fathers wanted the EC to be a check on the stupid masses so the EC hasn't worked like the founders intended ever. Andrew Jackson was elected pretty quickly into America's history even though that was the exact situation where the founders would support overturning the will of the voters.

It won't pass in Virginia, have to worry about Michigan and Wisconsin though.

Was curious to see if the potus twitter was used for anything and it is mostly retweets from his own account lol.

Oh well, preparing for the worst next thursday, although I'm sure there will be more bad news before that.

I saw that. The gall to pull a stunt like that is crazy, but who is going to stop them?

Could California threaten to not send federal tax money to Appalachia if Trump takes federal funding to sanctuary cities?

I don't know how this works in the constitution.

At that point they'd probably get invaded by the US military. If blue states didn't cooperate with the federal government (and why would they) then Trump would basically have to invade them to keep the desiccated husk of the middle of the country (and his base) alive.

I haven’t posted much (once on a fly-by?) since the election. Reckoned you guys needed your private coming-to-terms-with-it time without a random Brit chipping in.

I was caught up in the Hillary hype train like everyone else here at the time, and was similarly gutted by the result. My biggest concern is – how is Adam’s mom doing? Actually not my biggest concern, but I really miss Adam’s tales of his Mom.

Brief takeouts from my perspective:
1) Forget all the handwringing over Hillary’s flaws. She wasn’t a bad candidate. We underestimated hugely just how good a candidate Trump was. Could have handled campaign better, check. Could have reached out more, check. That’s all hindsight.
2) Bernie wouldn’t have won either
3) Trump has broken all the rules and got away with it. That means there are no longer any rules. That’s a difficult thing to deal with and a difficult thing to campaign around.
4) It’s not a good tactic, and it’s not true, to accuse all Trump voters of being hateful racists. For perspective, read Dean Koontz. Koontz writes some of the nicest characters in all of fiction, and every single one of his characters would have voted Republican.
5) Hitler comparisons are a bit overdone. Try Maximilien Robespierre instead. A “terribly insecure man” apparently. Not that that is any comfort.

That said, I’m worried. But I’m not going to tread over the minutiae every day. What with this and Brexit, politics has overtaken too much of my life last year and this.

 

[Got the Shakes]

Just remember in places like my home state of Michigan people voted for Trump because of the economy*...


*Spoiler alert: Michigan added 30,000 manufacturing jobs from 2010 to 2015 in the automotive sector and median household income rose from $48,198 in 2010 to $53,628 in 2015. Income per capita in the region grew 13.6 percent since 2010. That number grew 4.2 percent from 2015 to 2016.
