Didn't he get so mad at being owned that he had a stroke?

Yes! This is totally not childish! Also Tromp is Voledmorm and that means winter won't come but always christmas!

Sorry, what I meant is that Clinton won the popular vote and Trump won the electoral vote- if Russian hacking actually mattered, she would have lost the electoral vote as well.

It could be if it looked entirely different. Or if Trump's America means that NBC feels emboldened to sexualize women way more than they used to.

The Russian involvement is a red herring. A foreign power was involved, campaigns engaged in ratfucking- that's just electoral politics whether it's soft money and attack ads or data leaks and push polls.

What exactly brought that on? I mean was it just the collapse of the old system of overpriced imports, or what?

Yeah, I admit that I was wrong in terms of the specifics- but a lot of publications under the Univision umbrella have adopted a very similar editorial line, so it seemed relevant.

Since so much of his estimated net worth is based on his estimation of his brand, the marches must have more than decimated it.

Personally I was hoping it'd get bought up by Ted Turner so it'd just be whatever The AMC Club couldn't be bothered to report on.

True. But Saban put the deal together and is described by Reuters as 'leading' the venture.

I think the attention was a symptom, not a cause. The system's been broken this way for a while now, he was just someone well prepared to deal with it going up against someone who wasn't- in part because of her lack of charisma and in part because the cultural tastes of her campaign leaned towards a very specific…

Gaffigan is popular enough and has a long enough career that he doesn't have to fly off to Dubai for a one-night $8000 (plus airfare) gig where no one laughs.

Yeah, but it means that if Liberals, the Left, and community groups actually manage to cobble together a decent coalition, he can be resisted in court and maybe even lose the senate at midterms.

It's kind of reassuring in a way- he doesn't actually represent a mass movement. At least half of America's just always been content to vote for openly evil politicians, and they don't even like him.

Which are more disproportionately small: his crowds, or his hands?

Clearly a lot of people care.

It was a poll conducted by YouGov last month on the propensity to believe conspiracy theories based on partisan allegiance.

That is pretty fucked up.

Politics has been entertainment for a while now, man.
