      Good news. His Memorial Day message doesn’t mention them at all. I wonder what he thinks this day is for.

        News sites wouldn’t keep using it if it didn’t get clicks from the general population.

        I hate the general population.

          I agree. Only, you are the general population to me.

          I guess we have to fight now.

    KTLA journalist David Lazarus said: “The simple fact is that if we did away with the archaic Electoral College, a man like this would never again get within reach of the presidency.”

    That’s true. In the short term, though, it’s looking more and more obvious that we also need to get rid of the archaic incumbent before November, lest his stubborn insistence on aiding and abetting dozens of ongoing crimes against humanity alienates enough voters that the Mango Mussolini wins and does away with democracy altogether.

      Making the Electoral College meaningless is within reach:

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
