They should've all gotten out and voted.
Considering she won the popular vote, I'm sure many of them did.
And fortunately we realized Kings were bunk nearly 250 years ago and formed a republic that respects the concepts of states. Our founders realized pure democracy results in tyranny of the majority and put up safeguards. So talking about the popular vote is svout as relevant as the weather. But I'm hesitant to give much consideration to the opinions of people who live in a country where half the legislature requires "noble" blood and have a monarchy ruling over them about how a modern nation should elect its leaders.
Re: US Politics Thread
What a crock of shit. Doing the will of the people is supporting a monarchy, yet allowing a few electorates to dictate and override the will of the people is okay? You can vote for your states Governor, all votes count. That's your states rights and where it should end. Every vote should count.

But the people who actually know, the experts, intelligence agencies and generals say that's what you do. You make it clear it's not a war on their religion. You actually want to stop people who are vulnerable to extremist recruiting from joining them. You don't say fuck it and bomb them. That creates more tension, more propaganda. The shit weve already done but failed and ended up creating more terrorists. You see the innocent collateral damage and dead children, dead families from American bombs you leave an opening. This stems from Iraq, which destabilized the entire middle east, with a leader who carelessly used language like "crusades."
If you think by this point that you can bomb them out of existence or bomb your way out of a problem, then it makes sense that you fell for Trump's "Ending Terrorism For Dummies" bullshit.
Lol, Obama dropped more bombs from Drones than all other US presidents combined. A lot of innocent folks died from his drones. Oh, and we had more terrorist attacks in our country and Europe than during all of the Bush era.
Hey, genius, how many presidents had drones? And, again, those conflicts were because of Bush's war. As was the explosion of terrorist groups.

Suck it up buttercup, we got 4 years to go and no one wants to listen to you guys on the rag.
And he still lost the popular vote and had to have help from Russia, Assange, Wikileaks and Comey! He sure showed her!
The popular vote is a footnote and the rest are excuses. If the Democrats had a better nominee you probably wouldn't be complaining about Trump right now. Lesson learned.
No, they're called facts. Remember the first time you came in here, claiming I said something I didn't? Those aren't facts, those are lies. The facts are Russia, Assange and the use of Wikileaks were intended and used to get Trump elected. Comey's motivations are questionable but not the results. If Trump wrecks the best economy any president in the modern era has ever walked into, then the fucktards who elected him will be shown to have elected the worst president in history despite being painfully obvious from the start that he was woefully unqualified when they casted their votes... Maybe he'll be fantastic and prove them all to be geniuses... If not, they are the scurge of America. A group of small, ugly, hateful, scared and miserable human beings who live in an insulated world and allow their own fears and insecurities to drive them to self destruction under the false guise of righteous patriotism. This will be on their heads.

Holy fuck Slash has posted now 3 pics about anti trump rallies and he is getting a lot of shit for it and also they are the least liked photos on his page. What a dumb Fuck for trying to divide his own fans. Going political is always a bad business decision. "One in a million," baby.

Re: US Politics Thread
That media presser was fucking embarrassing. Good God, when they get criticized by FOX you know they're off the rails.
What presser?

Wtf. Good on Slash for making a statement on what he believes in. Business decision?! Fuck you.
Faldor, when did u drink the cool aid? Gotta say if your excuse is Democrats put up a poor candidate it's a pretty weak argument buddy.. but whatever floats your boat.
These women protest marches are funny to me considering like 53% of WHITE women voted for Trump. Stupid fuckin cunts 
Where's the representation of their voices in these protests? Anyway..
Also, all the other protests seem a bit like crying over split milk. Why couldn't these assholes mobilise themselves beforehand to stop this from happening?* Deniro is still alright tho. Still forgive him him for the last 20 years of shitty films too.
*whichs brings me to Randall's post trolling of Atari: We're actually living thru a tyranny of the majority with Brexit, oddly enough.
The world is so different from this time last year, and not by any reasonable measure in a productive way. Interesting time to be living thru tho.
Also Cramer posted about the rest of the world laughing at you. Well yea, some of us are but if you could see our politics & politicians you'd laugh at us as well. We're all fucked. Fuck it. Amazing time to be alive I guess.
And I mean, there is a balance to it. As well as laughing we're immensely disappointed & a little afraid & bewildered. I mean Trump always has been a figure of fun over here & to see so many take him seriously & to take to him with such gusto.. well.. you can explain it away in a variety of ways but at the end of the day you gotta do what you gotta do I guess..

I find social media retweets and that whole operation about as edgy as a dull butter knife but Slash expressing his opinion may be the first shred of integrity this tour has going for it.
And comparing anti-Trump sentiment to One In A Million is a giant false equivalence, if there ever was one.

Projection.

On the bright sidel; Farage has failed 7 times in 7 different constituencies. If Nutal fails in Stoke, then the Tories are as bad it'll ever get.
SLC is right. The daily mail/express might have supported Trump, but he wouldn't have won an election in this country thanks to our system. Trump is laughing stock of the world.
An embarrassment to humanity.
