He's normalizing lashing out, with no more excuse than self-involved entitlement. The fact these shooters prefer children as victims appears to be a desire to inflict the maximum amount of horror as their revenge.

Obama knew Russia was hacking our voting systems and decided to bet on Clinton's lead over Manafort's detailed swing state voter role data and zero papertrail. Biden knew Trump would run even after a failed coup and theft of TS documents, and failed to eliminate that threat. Both are inexcusable.

Again, a 3 million actual vote deficit says a rigged primary against Bernie is ridiculous. I'm going off accounts by those running the 2008 Iowa caucus. These are usually people from their small, tight knit neighborhoods. The strangers who came to intimidate other candidate groups were clearly not.

43% "first time" caucus goers. Buses in the parking lot. Check the primary results. Obama, like Bernie, consistently won caucus states while Clinton won the voting primaries. Caucuses are as antidemocratic as the Electoral College. Both are too easily rigged.

But we've beaten this horse to death. So again, is this country corrupt and ignorant enough to elect an insurrection inciting, sex offending, 34 count felon with an IQ roughly equal to his waist size? Yep. Did he sweep every single swing state, even the ones Harris was leading handily? Um, no.

What do you consider evidence? This administration is arguing a case today that can be completely refuted by video and eye witness accounts. It's been evident for some time that too many simply believe what they want to believe, their eyes, ears, common sense and decency, be damned.

We should be so lucky. He's the drunk driver who kills a family of five and walks away without a scratch.

Plus, the party was already going whack populist and McCain was too normal for them to contrast Obama. Cults of personality will always win in an ignorant society.

It was the primary and Republicans were much more engaged in eliminating their biggest threat, an eminently qualified and universally admired woman. Especially since they'd already invested decades throwing every unhinged conspiracy they could manufacture at her to do just that.

What would you call the Democratic Senate candidate getting 80k votes in two liberal districts and the Democratic presidential getting 2? I mean, some things just strain credulity.

Sanders lost by 3 million votes, so that's absurd. Plus they were claiming DNC bias. As if the DNC wouldn't back the actual Democrat in the race. 2016, Trump won by an average of 2 votes per district in the 3 swing states that flipped. Online machines, no papertrail, Clinton led every exit poll.
