You call 9% of Trump voters who self-report that they backed Obama before “a good amount”? Cool.

One novel a week, hon.

As long as you’re happy, hon.

The fact that they ran her again? Hillary ran once as the Democratic nominee. You have to read up, friend.

Nice maps. And, you’re right, it shows the split. Lately America is about 50/50 all the time. I try to ignore rage about it, because I do know a few people on the side I consider the monster side and yet...they are not monsters. They are decent people with less empathy than I would expect.

Sorry, I only read one novel a week in the summer. Maybe if you had published in the fall? Well, no telling.

Speaking for Chicago, here, we’re just thrilled to see that we are still mentioned with NYC and LA. Suck it, Houston!

What’s a good amount? What is the percentage? And what is your source for that percentage?

You’re right, fuck Californians! That’s where we go to vacation. Who said they could vote? They’re not even Americans! (Wait, what? Oh, ok.) Never mind.

The system we have is one where the larger states (House) are balanced by the smaller states (Senate) and the electoral college reflects that. But you want more? Like what, a system where they count every other vote in CA, TX and NY?

Yes, don’t want to agree, but I have to. I will say that the only people in my family who voted Trump are Gen X. But he motivated the fear and anger vote and that generally always ends badly.

Dems not only care about gerrymandering, they can gerrymander, too! (See Illinois). They just aren’t as effective at it. (See North Carolina). Or as prolific. (See the south and large swathes of the west.)

I’ll tell you where Charles Bronson is when you need him. He’s probably drunk and pissing in an alley somewhere because that’s the fricking American way!

True. I once had a drunk dude pissing bingo card made up by a friend and I bingo’d in like two months. (I lived in a student neighborhood). I think my Bingo was: 1. Guy pissing in alley behind dumpster. 2. Guy pissing in alley on dumpster. 3. Free Space (she called it Urine Free Space) 4. Guy pissing behind storage…

I work in nfp. So that’s why I wanted to know. You know, for science. Not like, I, personally would like a nondemanding job. Oh, no...

Tell me more about this slightly demanding nonprofit you speak of. Asking for a friend...

I love that Pencington was there with Little Lord Trumpleroy! Like, Donnie’s not having fun if there isn’t at least one trusted sycophant around.

Why are we just hearing about this now? It happened in May.

I thought maybe the license or card he is looking at said something and the video was cutting in after the conversation started. But now that you ask that question, I realize I was making an assumption and that could be the beginning of the interaction. Hmmm. Interesting.

Well, be fair. If she’d been a white man in a high security job they would have figured that out. Her own damn fault for being a black woman in a high security job. What was she thinking?
