Diarrhea pockets!

That other table was awesome.

5) Kneecap the education system so that people are stupid enough to buy into propaganda and vote against their own best interests. 

He’s a joke, obviously, but I can honestly see him taking more votes from potential Trump voters than whichever democrat runs.  Like the article points out he’s got the same financial values as republicans (fucking over the poor), and is more of a dog-whistle racist than a bullhorn, which is what the Grand Old Party…

Ranked voting makes a lot of sense to me, but as you say it seems unlikely to get enough buy-in.

In 2009, a study found that people in possession of a gun were 4.46 times more likely to be shot in an assault than people who didn’t have a gun.

I think because he wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for the US accepting refugees.

Is there a chance that Miller gets in any sort of legal trouble for anything Russia related? I mean Trump is fucked, so is Don Jr., it’s not looking good for Kushner and possibly Ivanka too, and Pence led the transition team so there’s a chance there although it’s a long shot that anything will happen to him.

Exactly, and it’s all the different factions of his base: he’s losing his wealthy supporters with the tariffs and stock market drops, the racists with no wall in 2+ years, and the own-the-libbers by totally getting owned by Pelosi.  It’s fucking awesome to watch it all crumble around him.

Agree 100% - I meant it’s bizarre that the media lets them get away with that over and over and over again.

And if you do believe they’re all coincidences then you must also believe that Trump is the dumbest motherfucker of all time.  I mean of course it’s both, but it’s a heck of a choice for his supporters twisting themselves in knots.

It’s going to take like a 17 part series by Ken Burns to cover all the insane shit that’s happened.

That is a great point. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an interviewer say that, and that’s literally their go-to “defense” against every single accusation against Trump. There must have been thousands of such interviews by now, it’s bizarre now that you mention it.
