Aren’t bipartisan election boards something we’ve wanted for a long time? Sure, it would be nice to have democratic control of the election boards for a while, but chances are they’d flip back to republican at some point in the not too distant future.

Maybe appointing Andy Puzder as Labor Secretary was the cheapest way to bring someone into the cabinet who at least knows how not to ruin a perfectly good burger...

Laura Bush killed someone, and she most certainly was invited to the White House by her Father-in-law AND her husband. Probably by St. Ronald Reagan as well.

The subject of electronic voting machines still warrants discussion—they can be hacked or malfunction, however unlikely, in a way that paper ballots cannot (except for the stupid punchcard, hanging-chad type). Because of the complexities and vulnerabilities of electronic voting machines, it only invites more of these

Isn’t the penalty for violating the existing law a fine of $1000? I have a feeling it’s not this law that’s actually keeping electors from voting their conscience.

For all of the rumors about this that were swirling about during the election, it would have been nice if they were investigated then in fuller detail, rather than now. And perhaps we should continue to explore the supposed existence of a Trump Campaign computer server that was said to be communicating continuously

I can understand her not earning as much in the beginning, because she was relatively unknown and he was William H. Macy. But that hasn’t been the case for quite some time. And, for a show that has concerned itself more and more with female empowerment (Fiona’s becoming a manager, then boss-lady) it’s kinda ironic

Maybe this is just the reason the electoral college was implemented, instead of having the president directly elected by the people (or by the states). In an election where Trump got 2.5 Million fewer votes than Clinton, but still won the electoral vote count, and everybody has been running their mouths about how

We risk pissing China off—it could lead to a real war, or a trade war, neither of which are particularly good for us (or them, but either is still worse for us). We also need them to help contain North Korea’s ambitions, which pose a growing threat to US interests.

Welcome to how diplomacy works! It’s completely illogical, and seems nonsensical to the uninitiated, but it kinda works. China is fine with us selling arms to Taiwan, which it considers to be a province of China with a different government system—they just don’t want us recognizing it as a sovereign nation, and they

It’s not a terrible thing that she has people focused on the myriad issues with our voting system. No matter how likely or not, and whether or not it happened in this election (and even then, at a scale that was able to alter the outcome of the election), electronic voting machines can be hacked pretty easily. They

If we’re really interested in the “true” Santa, then let’s dispense with this happy/jolly white-bearded Norman Rockwell/Coca-Cola Santa, and bring back the original Santa Klaus, who frightened children into behaving. Let’s end the “war on coal” this holiday season and put the coal miners back to work, now that so

Happy Holidays! Because we’re all going to be saying “Merry Christmas” for the next 4 years.

If there were so many cases of “illegals” voting in certain states, then why didn’t Trump’s poll-watching vigilantes catch it? Why haven’t there been any arrests, indictments or prosecutions? I mean, of course, besides the fact that IT DIDN’T HAPPEN. And would someone please explain to me the mechanics of how one

I mean, isn’t this why Trump was elected? White people in the heartland don’t want to be bothered with processes or constitutional impediments or any of that nonsense—they just want a strongman who will promise to solve their problems for them (even if all he does is spout a bunch of nationalist hokum, make everybody

As they say, Dharma’s a bitch.

My head is spinning—so there was fraud, but only in the states that Hillary won by a large margin? But he’s not going to do anything about the fraud as President, other than tweet about it? He would have won the popular vote in a landslide if he’d only gone to 3 or 4 states with the largest populations, but would

CVS, being the worst of the drug-store chains, probably didn’t have any cheese because they had forgotten to stock it (and even if they had, it would have been a shitty brand that nobody wanted to buy). I’m sure if Berry and Blackwell had gone to Walgreens, they’d have had a much more pleasant experience.

Ok, so despite all of the talk about “uniting the country”, “surrounding [himself] with the best people”, and “being above politics/political correctness”, not having voted for Trump is a disqualifier to serving in his administration?

You’d think someone named Capt. Jeff Davis would be one of the first people Steve Bannon would have called...
