Some people just REALLY want to get out of Detroit.

This is the correct take.

Here is a required disclaimer to ensure my point is taken seriously and not dismissed as the ravings of some misguided Trump supporter: I voted for Hillary. I was not and am not terribly fond of her, but she was the objectively more qualified candidate and a demonstrably better human being. I don’t vote for…

Its because we’re dumb. And we have a national attention span tha… HOLY SHIT IS THAT A BIRD!?!?!

This is so dumb. We have an electoral college, so candidates campaign around that. If it was a popular vote the campaign trail would look dramatically different. So, we have no idea who would have won a popular vote, if that’s what mattered.

The nation’s highest job should carry the highest burden of purity.

Thank you.

Based on the comments, we need to define “hack the election”.

Here’s what I find amazing. Regardless of who was responsible for the acquisition of the information leaked from the DNC and John Podesta’s personal email, no one in the media or on the left (not that there is a difference) care about the content. They only care that they lost an election. For instance, the NY Times…

and every time a lefty gets pulled kicking and screaming from their safe space, they blame “trumpets”, racists, misogynists, and uneducated people for the fact that their own party tanked the election and someone put it all out there in the interwebs for the world to read.. ...

Bring what up? There’s little if any credible proof that there is anything going on. The federal judge that just rejected the PA recount said “Most importantly, there is no credible evidence that any ‘hack’ occurred, and compelling evidence that Pennsylvania’s voting system was not in any way compromised,”

Hacked our faith

Yeah, it was definitely Putin that made people lose faith in the media. Certainly they were doing so well before, very competent and not at all a shit show!

major news outlets have all published stories citing intelligence sources confirming that Russian hacking influenced the outcome of the 2016 election

Hacked our faith?

Most of us have little faith in layers of bureaucracy doing anything other than adding levels of FUBAR to any task. If you have faith in government, your expectations are either low, or misguided.

power take off ftw!

Given Chinese island building, human rights violations, and currency exchange interference, I would contend that the system does not work.

I think you may be discounting the future administrations long term US strategy towards China. Reince Preibus met with the Taiwanese President last year, and I think you may find that the US will be a little more “hardline” with China in other capacities.

Not only that, but the real risk, I think, isn’t that we’re…

It’s a real shame that all the tremendous successes with China and Russia accomplished by the Obama administration are going to be undone by Trump.

Sure yeah it’s publicly known that we sell billions of dollars worth of arms to Taiwan, but don’t you dare make a phone call or receive a phone call from that government.
