TROIKA CURES GREEK posted:It's incredibly loving stupid to look at the overall numbers but that doesn't stop dummies from doing it all the time. You're doing it wrong!! In Michigan: 2012 Results: Obama 2,564,569 (54.05%) Romney 2,115,256 (44.58%) 2016 Results: Clinton 2,268,839 (47.03%) Trump 2,279,543 (47.25%) In Florida: 2012 Results: Obama 4,237,756 (49.90%) Romney 4,163,447 (49.03%) 2016 Results: Clinton Trump 4,617,886 (48.60%) Clinton 4,504,975 (47.41%) I think "Trump blowing Romney's numbers out of the water by massive margins" might be a bit of an overstatement. In Michigan, Trump got 100,000 more votes than Romney did, and his margin went up by 3%. In Florida, Trump got substantially more votes than Romney, but since the state is still growing, the percentage of the vote he got actually went down. There were very few states where Trump's numbers or percentages went up over Romney: mostly it was a matter of Clinton's numbers going down.

Spiritus Nox posted:My understanding is that Mueller himself cannot charge anyone with anything - he can simply compile his findings and then report them to congress, at which point Trump is either exonerated (lol) or Congress has to deal with a respected source putting enormous pressure on them to either impeach or come up with a drat good story for their voters back home. This is the case for the President and other cabinet officers (ie, Sessions). Anyone who is not in cabinet position, like Flynn, Donald Trump Junior, Kushner, Manafort, Page, Stone, etc. all get arrested like normal people.

Didn't a cheese factory have to ditch all its stock because George W toured it without anything to cover his hair? Did I hallucinate that?

Rigel posted:Western Republicans tend to be more Libertarian than their idiot teammates in the south and midwest Hmm...people in the South and Midwest have similar belief and voting patterns? What would be a word to describe all these voters, living East of the Mississippi? Instead of saying "South and Midwest", could we find some word that describes both of them, perhaps based on the geography of the United States as it is now, rather than how it was in the 1850s? Wow, such a word totally escapes me.

They'll probably also continue to make sure that no poor has more than $20 on them, otherwise it's clearly drug money, and they'll just have to hire a lawyer to prove that it's not.

business hammocks posted:Good lord I am addicted to hating him. I hope this is some kind of Stockholm variation thing and will pass when he dies. Quoting from a few pages back but something you may find useful is finding some kind of cathartic ritual to engage in for future milestones. I have two bottles of wine in my house. One is labeled 'Trump leaves office' and is reserved for that occasion, whenever/however it happens. The other is labeled 'Trump dies'. On the eve of both of these occasions, as I did when Reagan died and as I will when George Bush left office, I will get with some friends, put on some music and write things I detested about each figure on strips of paper. These are assembled into a paper chain that is then burnt as we drink and have a good conversation.

Funny how everyone completely lost interest late last year, no? It was the hugest deal in November. December, poof, nothing.

The actions of a certain few in these cases determines everything while the rest of us combined are not statistically significant. Me giving the Toyota corporation $40,000 for a Prius does not save the world, it funnels more wealth upward and makes me a stupid rear end in a top hat and a bad driver.

Would you get your wedding cake made by that place that went to court so it could refuse to serve gay couples? Or would you just shrug and say they make good cakes? I mean the Sonic picture is totally true, but sometimes it's so in-your-face that you can't really ignore it.

Yea, but if you start looking hard enough, you're going to quickly realize that literally every company has a higher up or two with loving terrible beliefs. I agree that one should avoid the more egregious cases, but I can't be doing research into ethics for every purchasing decision I make, I'd never buy anything again.
