koods said: OP, what makes this worse is that despite being down 30 some seats in the house. It is entirely possible that democrats received more votes in total than republicans in house races.
Surely you're not stupid enough to not know that House races are individual races and therefore the grand total of votes by party are completely meaningless?
Quote:
Additionally Hillary Clinton received more votes than Trump. So, the republicans have free reign and they didn't even win the majority of votes cast.
Please stop with the stupidity. They don't have to have the popular majority as, in the above example, it's the states voting in the electoral college and therefore once again... the grand total of votes by party is completely meaningless.
Even you surprise me when you say stupid shit like that. I have no trouble at all believing you'd have nothing to say if it was the other way around and the Dems had won. Your partisan hackery is unbecoming.

Thats why America must arm itself. The ones without guns.
"Arm yourselves" implies you are unarmed at present.

The ones that didn't vote for him are likely the ones terrified of guns, uneducated in their workings and pathetically unprepared to defend themselves.

psh, I know I want guns now. Also I don't think Trump's fan base will stay so enthused with him. Only a matter of time before he throws the american people to the wolves too, and maybe then we'll get some proper riots.

I can't say I really blame Trump supporters though, moon-bat that I am I couldn't vote for Hillary, and no doubt if I was in Trump's target audience I'd have voted for him. It's a sorry state of affairs either way though

That. I'm glad Hillary lost while also sorry that Trump won.
As a country, we should have done better than to give either of them the time of day.

Your political comments are totally devoid of actual intellectual substance. I spell our very specific things and all you reply with is rhetoric. You really shouldn't give yourself as much credit as you do when it comes to being knowledgable about how our political system works.

How about this: We'll see what happens before saying it's gonna be a disaster.
It seems much more reasonable.

Obama certainly never had a 100% democratic government. Hell, the only time I can recall there being a majority Democratic Congress during his terms were 2007-2009. Otherwise both the legislative branch and the SCOTUS were Republican majority afaik.
-------------------- "I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."
