Whenever conservatives do a masturbatory meme like this, there's always some basic glaring error in--

"%38"
"%73"
"%50"

Yep, there it is.

Does the percent sign come before the number in Cyrillic?

I said elected. Of course there were some inbred kings who may have been more stupid than Trump (its a close call) but they were born into it. Or propped up on a throne by some nobles.

I guarantee you that in 2020 at the debates when he's asked about his biggest achievement as president, he's going to say winning the 2016 election.

Small potatoes. Try our support in their claims in the South China Sea, pulling back support and diplomatic recognition of Taiwan, the removal of US troops from the Korean Peninsula, and our support for whatever pro China dictatorship they prop up to replace the Kim family.

That article seems to be quoting some tweets from some guy, who, earlier in his history, posted this, I think: http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/least-50-trump-electors-were-illegitimately-seated-electoral-college-members

Is that accurate? I can't believe it's real, since 40 electors voting illegally would have been all over the NYT and WaPo.

Edit: Wait, no, it was posted by some random person in a reply to one of his earlier tweets.

Looks like no. The only languages I can find with the percent symbol before the number are Turkish and Basque. Maybe Arabic and Hebrew too... but those are read right-to-left anyway, so not quite the same situation. Looking at some Russian documents, the % always seems to be on the right, just like in English.
Ahh, so the real reason the piss tape is such a sore subject is because Trump purchased the women in it. Don Jr will deny it by Tweeting out detailed receipts, clearly labeled "Sex Slaves."

Sure, They can put the exact same bill up for a vote. Except, they need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster now. And any democrat can submit that they intend to filibuster (they don't have to actually do it).

I'd rather be a pig than a fascist

quote:

"The fact is, that every place of work, I believe has to understand the rules, the structure, the protocol, the pecking order — and follow those rules,” said the counselor who worked as one of Trump’s campaign managers.

“And again, when you’re in any place of work – Martha, you’re in yours now, I’ll be in mine again with a new chief of staff this weekend or Monday – and you have to know what the structure and the rules are and people are going to respect those,” Conway lectured. “I think it’s a really good inflection point after six months in this White House to know what the structure is and the rules and to carry forth that way.”

Y'know, if you replace "White House" with "Prison" here, it still kinda works...
