Tr*ckin' and F*ckin' all the way to tha
T O P

what i've learned from the post-mortems on 2016 is that nobody is responsible for 2016. everyone knew what was wrong, but it was someone else's fault.

also hillary clinton bad. bernie good. i tried to warn them that the polling was wrong but it didn't work because of reasons.

please buy my book.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

i thought that it was pretty conventional compared to the chapter that was just the words "full communism now" repeated for twenty pages.

It speaks volumes of Sessions that there is a good chance he was willing to sell out his country so he could poo poo on anyone who isn't a Christian, Straight, White male.

That is a powerful hate.

From what I understand, Hillary's fundraising agreement with the DNC basically made it so her campaign was propping them up...thus inducing them to give her more favorable treatment.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong in this assessment.

I think I understand the controversy, I just don't understand why it loving matters anymore. Add it onto the pile of reasons you can point to that contributed to Hillary losing.

Man I cannot even begin to imagine the daily bombardment of "scandals" we'd be seeing from the media if Hillary had actually won.

It doesn't matter unless you are a republican or salty Bernie fan that still honestly thinks He Would Have Won.

it was really interesting to watch Sessions' seething hatred and contempt bubble to the surface and break his southern aristocratic gentleman facade every time he was question by someone in the Senate who didn't heap praise on him or deigned to question his integrity.

The three main assertions are:

That Obama and more directly DWS mismanaged the DNC.

That Hillary, in rescuing the DNC from bankruptcy, took over control for it.

And that Hillary was taking money from downballot races and starved the local and state-level candidates.

Insofar as I understand it.

Harris clearly had him rattled.

Probably 50/50 on if it was because he had to be questioned by an AA women or if she was on to something.

Or both?

Northam is still most likely going to win so I don't know if he would consider himself hosed over. Maybe morally I guess.

from what I remember during one of his hearings she was about to nail him about being in contempt of congress because he wouldn't specifically say that executive privilege had been invoked regarding his conversations with Trump but he still refused to disclose them because Trump might invoke it at a later date or some other bullshit.

I hate what happened to Bernie, but he wasn't a Democrat and only put a D next to his name long enough to get through the convention before immediately switched back to an Independent. The Democratic Party owed nothing to him and it sounds like he didn't even want to work closer with them.

Hillary was always going to be the candidate no matter how boring or controversial she was (two qualities that are very hard to pull off together). It was her turn.

I always get weirded out when people post stuff like this that seems a lot like really biased propaganda. Over 90% of bernie voters went for hillary. There is no reason to think they wouldn't vote for the dem candidate in a special election. It just seems like you're trying to push anti-bernie sentiments at the slightest provocation to me.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

With it happening so close to ~November 4th~ I wonder what the chances are of Alex Jones dildoing the gently caress out about Trump's twitter deactivation by human error as a "test run for silencing the voice of democracy" or whatever. It feels like it's got the right making for the conspiracy poo poo soup that Donnie just loves slurping down.
