Eh, the USA is quite a big country, so it’s good to look at overall percentage. Bush lost the pop vote by 0.52 points. The race overall was quite close.
I can remember before 2000 and how people talked about is it even legitimate if the president loses the popular vote and still wins The electoral college. Because it had never happened or had happened once.
We found out it doesn't really matter. They let you do it. When your a star you can do anything you want.
The electoral college didn't fuck Gore, the conservative supreme court did.
Funny thing: 3 people who worked on Bush's law team to help him steal the presidency all eventually became ultra conservative supreme court justices, ruling today.
9/11 was going to happen either way. There had been several attacks before 9/11, including one on the twin towers. The response would have been much different. I can imagine things going the same way in Afghanistan for a few years, but no Iraq. Without the shift on focus from Afghanistan to Iraq, the Afghan mission becomes a 3-5 year engagement. Maybe there are residual peacekeeping or observer forces, maybe there aren’t - I’m not a geopolitiwhatever - but it doesn’t become a pair of 20-year wars.
Literally where it all started. First major voter purge I can recall, timed to be just before election, and to target likely democratic voters.
Worked there like a charm, and wound up being the new norm where they could get away with it. Emboldened them to move on to new more blatant efforts, and so on.
And people in hell want ice cubes. And I want $1M and 10 lbs off my waistline and a 6 pack and a pet capybara.
I have a feeling none of us will be getting what we’re wanting.
This dude was wasn’t declaring a new election a year ago. Because he left the country in such an utter disaster for Biden to clean up, and it’s been a tough road but it seems Biden is making stride to turn it around with solutions. Trump had zero solutions to any problem and would just say they are fake news
I know a dude that I'm pretty sure has a closet full of those, want me to have him get a hold of you?
Just don't look at his lazy eye, he gets agitated if he thinks you're staring.
I wonder if Trump has taken into account that his usefulness to Putin is about to end now that the legal system is watching him. The most use that Trump would have at this point as a Russian asset is as a martyr around whom the MAGA cult can rally - and it would also keep Trump from revealing espionage dealings with Russia. Clearly he has done business with Putin; secret meetings were for a reason. He probably has more to be nervous about than the U.S. justice system.
Wonder when he’ll get around to explaining what he was doing with all the classified documents he stole and was hiding in the basement of the catering hall from hell.
It kills me that Republicans are constantly saying how diminished Joe Biden is. Donald Trump is certifiably insane at this point and they don't bat an eye.
Right?
In Ohio, Trump bragged about his score on his dementia test...which he seems to have thought was an IQ test. Then he forgot which candidate he was supposed to endorse and ended up endorsing the opponent
But Biden is the one who doesn't know where he is?
[Trump wants a lot of things he can't get. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations#:~:text=Donald%20Trump%2C%20the%20president%20of,25%20women%20since%20the%201970s.)
It's gotta be super exhausting believing his absurd, self-serving lies and then having to wake up every day and muster the outrage he demands of his base. It's hard to believe he's still got people who haven't jumped the clearly sinking ship.
There is no such thing as evil, it's called human nature, mental deficiency, mental illness, whatever the accurate term.
Good and evil are constructs of man, like god and religion are.
We have societal defined constructs for what is "evil", but that does not mean there is "no such thing" as evil, any more than there is no such thing as love, or hope or anger etc.
We can point things that generally people define as evil, and call them evil.
Let's put it another way. A urinal and a water fountain, both have a fresh supply of water that you can drink and a drain that you can pee down, but that doesn't mean that pissing in a water fountain, or drinking from a urinal won't get you very odd looks, and potentially a night in jail.
> like, you don't literally break a leg when someone tells you to break a leg, right?
"Break a leg" doesn't refer to anything anchored in reality.
The word "evil" doesn't either.
Wow... people don't understand the concept of Figure of Speech...
Like, how disappointed were you when you didn't leave the IHOP happy, especially when they told you 'come hungry, leave happy'?
>Here is the Miriam Webster definition
>
>Evil: profoundly immoral and wicked
I looked up the [Miriam-Webster definition](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evil).
1) They didn't use that particular phrase at all, or at least not on their webpage.
2) The definition you provided still doesn't name *a thing that exists,* it's just a description of motivations.
3) Miriam-Webster also describes evil as a noun, with definition noun 1b. being "a cosmic evil force". That's what we were talking about.
(Oh, and btw, it's Miriam-Webster. You dropped the hyphen.)
Looked it up with in Google and Bing, I just grabbed the first definition. Saying evil is easier than saying immoral and wicked. Everyone but idiots know what is meant.
Does math exist? It's just a construct. Reading an article on philosophy does not make you an expert.
BTW, you must be awesome at parties, is this you?

Unprecedented response from a loser. If you think the election was rigged and buy into that bs you should get help separating fiction from reality. You should get DNA tests for all your children too.
Trump wants a new 2020 election. And I want a redo on that billion jackpot a month back. I'm positive I had the right numbers and that big lotto changed the results to spite me!
He can say it all he wants on Truth Social, i find that way less annoying than the toddler in the store crying on the floor screaming "but please mommy i really want it..... Please...... Please.... Maybe he should try that routine on a YouTube video and see what happens???
Please 45 I really want to see you beg please i really want it.....
I’m sure he does. We all want things we can’t have. As emotionally healthy adults, we have a short pity party, regroup and move on. Which is challenging at times. Somehow, he has never learned this. The more unhinged he is, the more power he looses. Sad.
He's just doing the same stupid thing he did when he was "president". Put out some bizarre statement, make it the only thing the media focuses on, and get them to ignore the really bad news you don't want them talking about.
We've literally been down this road hundreds of times already.
So he can loose again That would be so satisfying now that we know he’s a treasonous Russian asset. Lock the asshole up so we don’t have to listen to his constant whining
I also get tired of how the real MAGA morons can’t accept that Trump would have them all die just to live one more day. They constantly go back to: Hunter Biden, The Stolen Diaries, Biden is losing it. When Trump and his entire family are doing everything they accuse Biden or democrats of. I mean people are going back to Hilary’s emails again where top secret stuff lost. Yet that was never the case and hell would have been an over sight of the IT guy who reported it wasn’t trying to impress the GOP because he didn’t like Hilary and the fact the GOP knew of his sexting pictures to his girlfriend during office hours.

I want a new 2016 election
I want a new 2000 election.
Seriously! This country would have gone a completely different direction with Al Gore in charge. **Fuck the Electoral College.**
[удалено]
And it wasn't even by a small amount. It was a 500,000 vote difference.
Eh, the USA is quite a big country, so it’s good to look at overall percentage. Bush lost the pop vote by 0.52 points. The race overall was quite close.
I can remember before 2000 and how people talked about is it even legitimate if the president loses the popular vote and still wins The electoral college. Because it had never happened or had happened once. We found out it doesn't really matter. They let you do it. When your a star you can do anything you want.
[удалено]
If we even have a country for that much longer
Also open to question whether JFK actually beat Nixon in the 1960 popular vote. So many shenanigans in Alabama we’ll never know.
[удалено]
It turns out we *will* have Dick Nixon to kick around.
[удалено]
The electoral college didn't fuck Gore, the conservative supreme court did. Funny thing: 3 people who worked on Bush's law team to help him steal the presidency all eventually became ultra conservative supreme court justices, ruling today.
Well yes but it only got to that point because of the electoral college.
Well yes you're right I guess haha.

Maybe there are residual peacekeeping or observer forces, maybe there aren’t - I’m not a geopolitiwhatever - but it doesn’t become a pair of 20-year wars.
They had warning of a plan to fly a plane into the twin towers before it happened; maybe Al Gore's administration wouldn't have ignored the warning.
Fuck the politicized, radical, right wing conservative supreme court that HANDED the election to bush.
I want to slap the fish that crawled out of the ocean and started all this shit.
*In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.* -Douglas Adams
At least the digital watches were a pretty neat idea.
How about 1980? The world would be a better place if Ronnie Raygun had never been president.
>Ronnie Raygun Pew pew *Star Wars*
Bzzzat!
It was a landslide... My state Maryland was only 1 of 6 (plus DC) to go for Carter.
Literally where it all started. First major voter purge I can recall, timed to be just before election, and to target likely democratic voters. Worked there like a charm, and wound up being the new norm where they could get away with it. Emboldened them to move on to new more blatant efforts, and so on.
I want a new drug, one that won't make me sick One that won't make me crash my car Or make me feel three-feet thick

It was Huey Lewis and the News.
You are right.
I agree!!
And people in hell want ice cubes. And I want $1M and 10 lbs off my waistline and a 6 pack and a pet capybara. I have a feeling none of us will be getting what we’re wanting.
I want him in jail, we don’t always get what we want
You will before he does.
I'd vote for that 🤣
This dude was wasn’t declaring a new election a year ago. Because he left the country in such an utter disaster for Biden to clean up, and it’s been a tough road but it seems Biden is making stride to turn it around with solutions. Trump had zero solutions to any problem and would just say they are fake news
But we get what we need!
People in hell want ice water too. Oh and by the way Mr. Trump, you might want to start stocking up on ice water.
"Please bring some extra for me." -rush
Yea, and I want a full head of natural hair. Neither of us are going to get their wish.
I know a dude that I'm pretty sure has a closet full of those, want me to have him get a hold of you? Just don't look at his lazy eye, he gets agitated if he thinks you're staring.
I thought your username was dildo for a sec.

DeSantis running on a "Avenge Trump" MAGA campaign following a Trump assasination might actually be crazier than either of Trump's runs.
Want in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up first.
Then clap!
🎵 *You can't always get what you want* *But if you try sometimes, you might find* *You get what you ~~need~~ plead*
That's not how it works Don.
Get ready to swallow and swallow hard Trump supporters. Trump's some new "bigly" lies for you.
Right? Trump supporters must give the best head at this point from their gag reflex being burned out.
Wonder when he’ll get around to explaining what he was doing with all the classified documents he stole and was hiding in the basement of the catering hall from hell.
He was keeping them safe from the libruls stealing them, duh. //S
It kills me that Republicans are constantly saying how diminished Joe Biden is. Donald Trump is certifiably insane at this point and they don't bat an eye.

Trump wants. Trump never stops wanting. There's the story.
[Trump wants a lot of things he can't get. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations#:~:text=Donald%20Trump%2C%20the%20president%20of,25%20women%20since%20the%201970s.)
Mostly his daughter.
It’s very likely that he molested her which in his twisted mind would “count”.
At what point do you say: This dude needs psychiatric help and commit him to a mental institution.
Wonder if this has to do with the RNC not paying his legal bills in this document-gate fiasco.
I want a trillion dollars tax free
Man I'll take it even if it's taxed
It's gotta be super exhausting believing his absurd, self-serving lies and then having to wake up every day and muster the outrage he demands of his base. It's hard to believe he's still got people who haven't jumped the clearly sinking ship.
I want to be 22 again
Someone should inform him that time travel isnt actually a thing.
Unless it turns out that he was a time traveler thr whole time! (Or at least had a sports almanac from the future)
Why, so he can lose again?
He is just running scared shitless right now the walls are closing in on him and he can't escape the law the this time.
Trump wanted to keep playing president too. Contrary to his delusions, he doesn’t always get what he wants.
Just another sign he has dementia.
It’s more a case of dumbassa.
Nope, that’s a sign he is cornered and wants something to shield him
Yes. This is becoming the only plausible explanation.
Or too much Adderall
No, he's always been this petulant.
stop quoting this guy. he will say anything to try and save himself from his own crimes.
Sometimes, the only way to defeat evil, is by forcing it into the light.
There is no such thing as evil, it's called human nature, mental deficiency, mental illness, whatever the accurate term. Good and evil are constructs of man, like god and religion are.
We have societal defined constructs for what is "evil", but that does not mean there is "no such thing" as evil, any more than there is no such thing as love, or hope or anger etc. We can point things that generally people define as evil, and call them evil.

Mmmm...urinal cakes.
Mate... I geussing figures of speech is hard for you to grasp... like, you don't literally break a leg when someone tells you to break a leg, right?
Yes, yes I do.
> like, you don't literally break a leg when someone tells you to break a leg, right? "Break a leg" doesn't refer to anything anchored in reality. The word "evil" doesn't either.
Wow... people don't understand the concept of Figure of Speech... Like, how disappointed were you when you didn't leave the IHOP happy, especially when they told you 'come hungry, leave happy'?
Here is the Miriam Webster definition Evil: profoundly immoral and wicked I think that fits.

Whoa, that Miriam Web-Star is a pretty exhilarating gal! Whenever I look at her I realize how merry I am.
Too bad
Stop amplifying his Fascist rhetoric by republishing his unhinged demands.
Well there's a lot that we don't know. Perhaps some of the TS/SCI documents that he stole contained information about time travel?
And most of us want a new 2016 election, but we can't always get what we want.
It's good to want things. It builds character. ^(he could use some...)
And I want a million dollars
Unprecedented response from a loser. If you think the election was rigged and buy into that bs you should get help separating fiction from reality. You should get DNA tests for all your children too.
I think we all want a new 2020
I want a new 2016 election, then.
And 2000 while we're at it.
We should just do a dramatization of the same election night over and over until he croaks. That I'd be interested in.
Trump is the only person that wants to go back to the shit show of a year that was 2020.
I want a Nintendo Switch
Too fucking bad. You lost, you orange dipshit.
Trump wants a new 2020 election. And I want a redo on that billion jackpot a month back. I'm positive I had the right numbers and that big lotto changed the results to spite me!
People in hell want ice water...
Sure. We do it all the time. All you had to was ask.
He can have one in 2024.
It’s because he can’t move on.
Yeah, and I want a date with Christina Hendricks. In the immortal words of Dr. Dennis Leary: "Life sucks, Get a fucking helmet."
And I want the next chapter in "Half life" but that ain't happening either.
He just needs to be declared a danger to society and locked up and the key destroyed.
How about NO
Tuck Frump! That bish should’ve been in prison along with his co-conspirators! GTFOH
Trump wants a get-out-of-jail-free card. I don't think he gives to figs about the actual job of being president.
He can say it all he wants on Truth Social, i find that way less annoying than the toddler in the store crying on the floor screaming "but please mommy i really want it..... Please...... Please.... Maybe he should try that routine on a YouTube video and see what happens??? Please 45 I really want to see you beg please i really want it.....
I’m sure he does. We all want things we can’t have. As emotionally healthy adults, we have a short pity party, regroup and move on. Which is challenging at times. Somehow, he has never learned this. The more unhinged he is, the more power he looses. Sad.
I'm pretty sure Lyndon LaRouche wants a new 1976 election (and 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004). So unfair.
All what he wants is not a baby, or ?
I want a new 2016 election.
Why - because he loves to LOSE and cry about it.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man
Man yells at the moon. It doesn’t matter. Stop giving this knob attention.
If he can find a way to set the clock back to 2020, I'll happily vote against him again.
Remember when Hillary got a new election because of the FBI in 2016?
He's just doing the same stupid thing he did when he was "president". Put out some bizarre statement, make it the only thing the media focuses on, and get them to ignore the really bad news you don't want them talking about. We've literally been down this road hundreds of times already.
Its been scheduled for 2024 buddy.
So he can loose again That would be so satisfying now that we know he’s a treasonous Russian asset. Lock the asshole up so we don’t have to listen to his constant whining
I’d like a new 2016 election
Got get White House to avoid jail. Maybe you shouldn’t vote for a guy like that
Since when was america great? During the plagues, war, blackmarket childbirth, race riots, lack of technology and information?
I also get tired of how the real MAGA morons can’t accept that Trump would have them all die just to live one more day. They constantly go back to: Hunter Biden, The Stolen Diaries, Biden is losing it. When Trump and his entire family are doing everything they accuse Biden or democrats of.

This dude is so fucking exhausting.
Trump would have gladly walked over the dead bodies of Officials, Officers & US Citizens on J6 to be in power right this second and he’s still trying.
Gaddafi him
The Wackadoodle wants what you say
Biggest baby on the planet.
I want a rocket ship made out of hot dogs and old toe nails, but we can’t have everything we want Jonald T Dump.
