Continually harping on the popular vote is meaningless unless the system is changed to elect presidents based on the popular vote. You don’t get to change the rules after and say this is what the outcome would have been. More people would have voted if the popular vote actually mattered, both Democrats and…

This takes me way back. My very first exposure to Top Gear was small pre-reboot clips that bounced around p2p sites like Kazaa and Morpheus along with Fifth Gear clips; the very first one I remember is actually from one of Clarkson’s specials, a clip of someone at Ferrari blowing up a 456:

It said that they would reduce the University’s budget by double what they spend. So, if they aren’t spending anything and just providing the public space, then I don’t think they have anything to worry about.

One would think that everyone voting is the answer, but given the mutiny (I know the popular and electoral votes indicated otherwise, but what if Xenophobe-elect would have traveled around the country rather than being forced to play the electoral game? He may have won anyways) we saw makes me think everyone voting is…

I wonder if it will have a carbon tub, a 3.8l twin turbo v8, and unconnected suspension.

Well, we know that his takes will be wide-left.

I look forward to reading his upcoming Deadspin articles.

Don’t take this the wrong way but... if you were completely out of your element why make the claim? I’d suggest maybe a little more care in the future when it comes to things like repeating economic talking points. It’s a hell of a complex topic and it gets hijacked a lot by people who understand just enough about…

I love the “call in the debt” line so much because it makes it abundantly clear that you’re dealing with someone who doesn’t understand the topic they’re trying to discuss.

our debts get called in

Yeah, 17% VAT and of course foreign companies have to partner with Chinese ones to sell cars in China. Then there’s the currency manipulation aspect, the steel dumping, the hoarding rare earth metals, etc.

The media never got any of this right. I don’t think that’s going to change now. I saw reports that she’d win by 2+million votes and it doesn’t look like it’ll be even close that. She’ll win the popular vote by not by those margins.

Can someone help with the popular vote argument? It’s at a virtual tie right now. It would certainly trigger a massive re-count.

Your attitude is a big reason why Trump got elected, you know.

This is a really good idea (if we can implement).

I’ll second this comment. The intellectual honesty of your news room becomes a half measure when you don’t specifically look for a variety of world views. Gawker is a good example: they’ve employed the talents of many different people from many different backgrounds and areas of the country, yet they’ve almost…

“You just said the jobs went away and a recovery never happened”

Lapsus calami. And just like that he had lost all of the respect his comrades had for him :)

I am really sick of this everyone is a bigot and women hater shit. Obama got 10 million more fucken votes than Hillary 8 years ago. Hillary lost white counties in Penn an Ohio that Obama won by 5% by upwards of 25%.

“It can be hard to put your finger on exactly what you fear most about the rise of Donald Trump: the racism? The sexism? The xenophobia? The profoundly dangerous lack of judgment?”
