[maomao]

All the percentages quoted in the media are 'of those who voted'. The real winner was not voting.

Excellent. I want him mired in scandal from the beginning.

Yeah that ship has sailed.

He picked a fight with all those agencies/organisations/countries & people over a weekend.

The Donald will soon learn that for a president to be powerful, he needs allies. He just keeps making enemies, even among Repubs.

Could be a clever gambit, get everyone riled up during the uncertainty of transition, then act conciliatory once in the Oval and look reasonable.




OK, prob not.

 

[redsquirrel]

Trump not really taking to DC's Think Tankers. More of a Wank Bank man.

Oh no, not the think tanks!

The Donald appears to have learned fuck all throughout his campaign.

I wouldn't say that, the other candidate's campaign however...

President Obama on Tuesday largely commuted the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst convicted of an enormous 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted the administration, and made WikiLeaks, the recipient of those disclosures, famous.

The decision by Mr. Obama rescued Ms. Manning, who twice tried to commit suicide last year, from an uncertain future as a transgender woman incarcerated at the male military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. She has been jailed for nearly seven years, and her 35-year sentence was by far the longest punishment ever imposed in the United States for a leak conviction.

Strange, because his press secretary just today basically outright said it wouldn't happen!

Shut Up, Bernie Sanders

If hubris and the successful pursuit of headlines were genuine indicators of political aptitude, perhaps Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) would actually be the Svengali he’s presently being sold as.

Hillary Clinton lost to a gameshow rapist and her camp seems not only to have learnt nothing from the experience, it seems to actually be getting stupider by the day and this is a great example of that. This is a terrible article.

Comments are great too, apparently we need to concentrate on the fact that white people are bad and in order to win next time the Democrats need to get people to vote for them instead of not voting.

Beeb also reporting it.

President Barack Obama has commuted Chelsea Manning's sentence for leaking documents to Wikileaks in 2010.

The 29-year-old transgender US Army private, born Bradley Manning, will be freed on 17 May instead of her scheduled 2045 release.

She was sentenced to 35 years in 2013 for her role in leaking diplomatic cables to the anti-secrecy group.

The leak was one of the largest breaches of classified material in US history.

Try to keep in mind: 3 million more Americans wanted Clinton for President, than those wanting The Donald.

that was about Ed Snowden, his disclosures were far more serious and far more dangerous.

In an election in which the popular vote doesn't matter. She lost to Donald fucking Trump in an unloseable election, one in which her camp did everything possible to ENSURE that Trump would be the Republican nominee.

She ran a bad campaign. Or do we need to revisit not campaigning in Wisconsin, not campaigning in Michigan, turning out Trump voters, spending only $300,000 on Hispanic outreach? How about the focus on basically fictional demographics?

 

[J Ed]

Puerto Rican nationalist political prisoner Oscar López Rivera being freed too, wow.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

It is important. What it means is that in spite of the machinations of the Electoral College, more Americans wanted her for President, than wanted The Donald. That fact will probably become even more important in the days ahead.



As for the Electoral College, it might help for people to think of an election for head of the local Community Association, down at the neighborhood hall.

The locals show up, and the vote is held by show of hands. Candidate A gets a comfortably larger number of hands raised.

But Candidate B ends up winning, because as it turns out, the vote of anyone sitting in rows 3 - 6 count for double - and people in those rows voted for Candidate B.

Don't patronise me.

I would never presume to do such a thing.

I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of the readers of this thread are somewhat familiar with the fact that there might be a few problems with the US electoral system, and I also suspect that more than a few might be a bit confused at the fact that you are trying to patronise others after posting slews of superficial surface level crap.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Just think of it. If the votes in the London boroughs counted for more than those of other parts of the country, Brexit never would have passed.

Who are you patronising then?
