- Well, sure, you have millions of fraudulent votes. -- nm - Andie Jan 26, 09:58 2
  - What amuses me is that Tennessee had *42* fraudulent votes. - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Jan 26, 10:03 1
    - so infuriating, why isn't the legit press forcing him to acknowledge that??? -- nm - Andie Jan 26, 10:05
- We're a republic anyway, but from an analytical perspective, the person with the most votes just lost the presidency to a wannabe tyrant. -- (edited) - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Jan 26, 09:58 1
  - Republic and Democracy aren't mutually exclusive ideas, though. - Reagen Jan 26, 10:05

  - on the 20th, the account was reset and I'm sure someone in the Trump admin had to activate it and set the credentials -- nm - decline Jan 26, 10:05

Speaking of guac -- (link) - ty97 Jan 26, 09:27
And then Trump tweets this defending Obama -- (link) - amoxy Jan 26, 09:22 14
- guys, how does he decide which word goes in caps? I want to start posting like him but I can't get logic worked out. -- nm - university of amanda jones Jan 26, 09:35 5
  - Put your two fingers together like he does when he's talking, like he's pinching. Italicize those words. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 26, 10:04
  - Think about how he talks and which words he emphasizes when he talks - ty97 Jan 26, 09:38 2

      - I don't think so - ty97 Jan 26, 09:44
  - Oh. I'm going to watch for this too. I have some thoughts but want to see if they're right or wrong. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 26, 09:36
- FWIW here is the Guardian article by Manning this relates to. -- (link) - Roger More Jan 26, 09:28
- I wouldn't even call that a back-handed compliment. -- nm - Spawn Jan 26, 09:26
- I'm not sure that's defending Obama or criticizing him for releasing her. -- nm - pmb Jan 26, 09:25
- I'm not at all convinced the appropriate reading of that is as a defense of Obama. -- nm - znufrii Jan 26, 09:25 4
  - Any reading beyond "he was watching Fox News and tweeted about what he heard just like Uncle Willy does" is too deep -- nm - ty97 Jan 26, 09:26 3
    - It apparently appeared verbatim on Fox News before he tweeted it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 09:27 1
      - Yup. I was not being glib when I said that. My post was based on repeated occurrences (including this one) -- nm* - ty97 Jan 26, 09:28

  - It's 51 here. -- nm - ty97 Jan 26, 09:22
  - considering all the 'it's going to be a rough winter' warnings we've got, it's barely even dipped below freezing here this month. -- (edited) - Andie Jan 26, 09:20 1
    - I don't want to mock winter (I've made that mistake before) but yeah, it's been a pretty easy one - ty97 Jan 26, 09:23
Laura Petrie was one of my first TV crushes along with Mary Richards - amoxy Jan 26, 09:15 12

    - In a way, I'm thankful we have kept so many of the greats from this period for so long - ty97 Jan 26, 09:41

This is interesting--possible Sanu trick play (throwing a pass) in SB -- (link) - Flavorize Jan 26, 09:07 2
- He has the highest career passer rating of anyone with at least 20 attempts. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Jan 26, 09:09 1

  - Countries - I'm thinking Canada - are going to start pitching themselves to the tech industry as the right place to move their R&D. -- nm - Mop Jan 26, 09:07

- what choice did he have? -- nm - Andie Jan 26, 08:56 8
  - Pay for it! -- (link) - POTUS Jan 26, 09:01 7
    - Trump's plan to make Mexico pay for the wall is to just repeat it until somehow it changes? -- nm - Mop Jan 26, 09:08 4
      - I think he's going to claim at some point that he got them to pay for it, by collecting tarrifs (after killing NAFTA) or withholding some payments - pmb Jan 26, 09:29 2
        
        I agree with the IM. They will find some barely plausible way to say that Mexico paid. And that's all they'll really need. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 26, 09:33
