The problem with that is that they don't get to write the specs for a federal election. If a dem was pulling the same *****, you would have your ***** all messed up by your panties in a bunch!

One they should lose, but the arguments will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeginnersMind Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The Retweet News Network is closed for the next few hours and Cartoon Network (with occasional stories) will be posting its copyrighted materials shortly. I encourage all posters who can’t use Twitter or their own news outlets to post 47 Tweets per day and also 19 cartoons here. PPP is your new source. 47 tweets/day * 20 active posters...~1000 tweet-posts a day on PPP. That would be so great. We can do it people. Follow your leaders.

Your reply doesn't follow mine. Soon there will be states that number 270 electoral votes that will cast their electoral votes to the winner of the majority vote. If a candidate wins by one vote nationwide, they will win. Not in 2020, but probably by 2024, assuming no state drops out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Quote “[Larry] Lindsey said he enlisted two psychiatrists to analyze the president from afar. China views President Donald Trump as a ‘total narcissist’ — ‘a 10-out-of-10 narcissist,’ he said. Lindsey attributed this to the president’s upbringing and said his mother didn’t pay him adequate attention in childhood. Lindsey said Trump has no long-term plans or ability to think ahead. He said the president has the long-term decision-making ability of an ‘empty chair.’ ” https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook-pm/2019/05/15/what-george-w-bushs-economist-said-about-trump-behind-closed-doors-436955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 A guy who develops major real estate projects that literally takes many, many years to complete has no natural skill set in long term planning but a pot/cigarette smoking community organizer from a little beach town in Hawaii does? Come on Man! This is just getting to be beyond silly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sift through and figure out how many illegals or how many voted 2-5-10 times and her 65 million is a lot less.

B-Man Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 ANYTHING BUT ACTUAL JOURNALISM: Study: Media shifts to opinion, advocacy, ‘personal perspective.’ That shift many have sensed from hard news to opinion and advocacy in the media, especially on cable TV, is real, according to a new and authoritative report from research giant Rand Corporation. In a study of trends from before 2000 to 2017, it found a big shift in how news is presented on TV and in online reports that means more “personal perspective,” issue advocacy, and opinion. Rand, in its report News in a Digital Age, compared the periods for newspapers, broadcast TV, cable, and online. It looked at the words used, but did not analyze the politics of the stories, reporters, or outlets. Newspapers, it said, have shifted in how they tell their stories, away from the old who, what, when, where, why and how approach to storytelling and personal perspective. Broadcast has shifted to offering more opinions and arguments. Cable TV has gone all in on opinion over news. And online has become opinionated and advocacy based. Well, actual journalism is work, and if you do it honestly the stories may not turn out as your politics require. Opinion and advocacy are cheap, and always match your . . . opinions. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a textbook example of the difference between the public and private sector philosophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
