"Everyone Is Now Dumber" - Billy Madison
"Mr. Madison, what you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you ev...
Wow that article was painfully dumb. For starters the author is a co-founder of the daily Kos, a left wing communist blog followed only by occu-tards and people who live in their parent basement.
The author lost every fragment of credibility in the opening paragraph, when he railed against the electoral college as the reason Trump won. I will ignore the dead and illegal voters here, and go for the obvious lack of thinking by the author. Without that "antiquated system" CA and TX would chose our leaders every time. This dim bastards inability to understand that fact pretty much eliminates him from the world of thinking humans.
Now on to the title, "biggest scandal in history" Wow, that was moronic. Even if this were 100% true, which it isn't, it still wouldn't make the top 5 of the recent election cycle. Falling well behind Hillary, and Benghazi, and selling our uranium to Russia, to the Iranian nuke deal, to the Clinton Foundation and selling access to the State Dept, to cheating Bernie Sanders out of his primary win.
The authors news stupid point was that he claims the Russians influenced our election. the only way that is possible is if we accept that it was the Russians who exposed the sleaze and criminal activity of Hillary. This would go against the statement from Wikileaks about the source and general logic. this hack of Podesta was not carried out by anyone sophisticated.
I could go on for a long time picking this article apart and explaining the dumb parts for the low information reader, who is incapable of critical thought (basically the entire readership for the daily Kos) but I will stop here and return to my life with this simple reply

SPC Jesse Davis - And the problem with this and the other information link is that the United States of America IS NOT A DEMOCRACY, it is a CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, i.e. it is not a direct democracy in that a mere plurality of the voters does not get to control the processes of the government directly. IF we were a direct democracy, then we could also get rid of the Senate at the Federal level and the State level. You and your cohorts have been mislead, at least a few members of your generational group truly understand what Freedom and the USA is all about.
One other thing that you and your cohorts fail to understand, ignore, or just plain ass ignorant about (no matter your supposed education level) and this applies to some of my cohort, less than 25% that is less than one-fourth of the 'eligible' voters voted in the 2016 election. What that means is that if you collect any group of 10 people eligible to vote ONLY 2 of them voted on average, but they did vote with apathy. In other words, they (the ones that did not cast a ballot) decided to let the 2 that did cast ballots make the decision for them. What is really sad about it, is they (the apathetic people) also form a majority of people that make their demands known by non-peaceful means, instead of with a ballot. Unfortunately those in political office end up kotowing to the mob and others (I will let you define 'others' as you see fit), until those of us who do vote either vote them out of office or try to.

SSG Robert Webster Makes a really good point. We are a republic, and we are a republic for a specific reason. The republic is set up to protect the little guy from the herd. With direct democracy, the majority could simply vote to jail all the readers of the Daily Kos for example, but because we are not a democracy, that vote will never be taken.

Cpl Joshua Caldwell -
If it's 100% irrelevant, then one of you should inform the current President as it is something he has been obsessing over, near the root of his insecurity. It is an important metric to gauge the kind of support an elected candidate has; especially when their narrative is presuming to represent the interests and will of a majority.

popular vote is irrelevant, public support only matters to career politicians, obama never gave a shit about popular support or we wouldnt have obama care, refugees, illegal immigration on its current scale or our enormous deficit. The only time popular support comes into play is when there are elections for congress In that case the republican majority is seen as a direct reflection of the former potus going against the will of the people across more than half of the voting districts.

Well, I guess that it is also true that Mr. Franken says that he thinks Sessions committed perjury. Either he did or he did not! Since a charge of perjury has to be proven 'in context', it will NEVER occur except by innuendo. If you have not read or listened to the two questions and their answers, Mr. Sessions DID NOT commit perjury.
Bottom line - semantics and meaning
in the course of --
1. undergoing the specified process.
2. during the specified period.
So, Mr. Franken, et al., which is it?

CWO3 (Join to see) - Sen. Franken was not vague in his wording. After all he is supposed to be a writer, isn't he? His (Sen. Franken) problem is that he did not expect to get a 'lawyer's' answer. If it came down to it Sen. Franken should have asked the question the way that you are suggesting, instead of grandstanding. But then again it was probably deliberate, since now it can be used as innuendo.

SSG Robert Webster - Agreed, he seemed to be trying to wrap too many things into one question rather than just going for one clear answer.
Edit: Franken used to be somewhat funny also, but that was back in the golden years of SNL. Folks like him, Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Al Piscopo, Eddie Murphy, Garrett Morris, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, and Laraine Newman were hilarious and their writers were outstanding. SNL was a stepping stone for them also, because many went on to have decent careers outside SNL. No matter where we found ourselves on Saturday night we always tried to be near a TV to watch SNL and on Friday The Midnight Special, for the musical acts. Eddie Murphy in the Gumby skits and so many more were just plain funny. The closest they got to being political was the Nightly News skit, but now it's mostly third rate semi-comedy IMO. I haven't watched since probably the 80's because it's nothing like it was back in 70's. Franken should have stuck with his day job.

1LT Andrew Bevilacqua - I think we should be able to agree though, that even though Sessions statement did not meet the legal definition of perjury, he did lie twice in his response. First, by saying he was not "aware of any of those activities" and second that "I didn’t have – did not have communications with the Russians". Why? Because whether it can be proven whether he was aware of anyone else doing so, he was definitely aware that he was both "aware" that he met with them and did "meet' with them on at least two occasions during the campaign. He also responded to Sen. Leahy's query on whether he had met with them with a written "no". All of which means mostly nothing in terms of holding AG Sessions accountable, but adds more fuel to the fire within confines of any fact-finding body. If I'm wrong then I stand corrected, and welcome your thoughts. I could not care less about the election but I am tired of politicians on both sides of the aisle lying to us and assuming we don't recognize when we're being manipulated for their own personal gain.

we'll have to agree to disagree then, I outlined the 2 occasions he lied and the reasons why so no examples or comparisons will distract me from that fact, if you ask me if I'm aware that anyone from my group got off the bus and knowing that I did twice, I reply "no, I'm not aware of that" and I did not get off the bus" then I lied twice by saying I'm not aware and also saying that I did not, rationale = I am in the group and I got off the bus and assuming I'm aware of my actions then I'm aware that I got off the bus, fairly basic stuff here
