If that’s the sort of people they elect, better they don’t have national representation.

If Donald J. Trump is the sort of people Americans elect, better if they didn’t have international representation.

Hey, keep in mind that he lost our popular vote by about 3 million. Americans didn’t choose this man. Presumably the dumbass pile of crap in question was elected popularly.

Americans chose him. The alternative was no better. yhwx has a point and maybe we don’t deserve representation at all.

I get that your Trump apologia won’t be broken any time during this administration so I won’t bother with that, but how can you just disregard that he got significantly less votes than the other candidate in the election that Americans had to choose a president? Americans didn’t choose him. Our electoral college did. Americans did not choose him, you’re objectively wrong there. Americans chose Hillary Clinton to be President, but enough of the right states went to Trump, so that’s why he won.

My only apologia is for federalism and the Constitution. Given the party nominating processes you might argue Americans only had the illusion of choice anyway. My low regard for Clinton is no defense of Trump.

The big issues with Hillary that I heard during the campaign were:

  1. She would be hawkish on foreign policy, leading to escalating tensions with our enemies.
  2. She was potentially corrupt based on potential pay-for-play activities in her organization.
  3. She would show preferential treatment to family members, based on her daughter’s position.
  4. She would play fast and loose with state secrets based on her handling of her email account.

Just a few examples of what Trump has done in office with regards to these issues:

  1. Threatened war with a nuclear power.
  2. Is actually corrupt based on hundreds of past and ongoing real-estate transactions with foreign governments.
  3. Displays breathtaking nepotism, with only one example being how Jared Kushner was somehow able to operate on temporary security clearance for over a year before it was revoked due to being a dangerous security risk.
  4. Actually gave Russian officials top secret intelligence that compromised Israeli operations, leading to our allies withholding similar intelligence from the United States for fear of leaks.

So yeah, I think Trump is a whole lot worse.

You forgot that she is a literal spawn of satan who may or may not run a kiddie porn ring.

More seriously, another common complaint is that she is an out of touch elite, which, yes, but the alternative is Donald fucking Trump, i.e. the most out of touch elite on the planet.

Trump appointed an extremely Conservative judge to the Supreme Court so nothing else matters.

Supposedly.

Serious question, is DiGiorno any good? They were on sale for like $5 each, so I bought three. Never had before, though.

I mean yes but you might as well spend the extra couple bucks and get a medium sized good-pizza from domino’s. If it’s worth having pizza it’s worth having pizza right.

And domino’s has a deal where you can get three mediums for 5.99 each so for an extra three bucks that could have been domino’s which is probably better than digiornos.

But it also wouldnt keep for as long on the fridge. But honestly who has pizza and doesnt eat it all within a day or two?

The whole point was that it was a good deal though, I’m usually pretty cheap with my money.

Anyway, I did just had Domino’s recently. The thing is, I don’t want to have to order and pickup (which from what I understand you have to do for that deal), it’s just easier to pop it into the oven. Also, Domino’s is real greasy and often if I eat too much I feel a little sick afterwards.

Still haven’t found a really good pizza place here. Best pizza I ever had was at Old Orchard mall food court in Skokie. Years ago and may be gone now. Pizaaah I think it was spelled.

C’mon man, the greasiness is the best thing about pizza.

He does have a valid point though. As much as I love domino’s it does give me heartburn sometimes. I don’t have this problem with other pizza, but other pizza that’s actually decent isn’t usually cheap. Even pizza Hut is more expensive although it isn’t as greasy.

Do you have any Casey’s gas stations nearby? It’s not like super deluxe authentic pizza but their pizza is actually pretty good. It’s not your typical gas station pizza they actually have a kitchen with workers whose only job is to make food in house it’s not like most gas stations where they basically just made you a frozen pizza then sneezed on it. I get it sometimes even though I have other choices it’s definitely worth trying. It is also pretty greasy though.

Make your own pizza, it’s surprisingly quick and easy.

More reporting by Channel4 tonight on the ‘Cambridge Analytica’/Facebook story. Undercover filming of CEO Alexander Nix admitting to all sorts of shady stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpbeOCKZFfQ

Facebook drops $35 billion in value as a result.

More undercover footage promised tomorrow about the Trump campaign.

We do incognito very well indeed.

Looks like whoever recorded Alexander Nix saying these things did incognito even better.

East coast now, no Casey’s. Next time I’m out that way I will have to try.

The Facebook thing is rotten. Good opportunity to crack down on sites giving/selling our personal data.

Pennsylvania’s new non-gerrymandered districts will be in effect for the 2018 election.

A few more like this and I’ll reduce my silly rule-of-thumb that Democrats need to get 56% of the vote to get 50% of the House.

Pizza is political. It’s the era we live in.

Pineapple is an awesome pizza topping!
