I can see your point, but in the other hand, it doesn’t read that differently from a journalist describing how Obama always wears similar clothes so he doesn’t have to plan what to wear every day.

The Times ceased to exist when Murdoch took it over and turned it into a tabloid; it’s The Sun with longer words for people who don’t want to be seen reading The Sun, these days.

“They say that Trump is finally revealing the true America that previous presidents had managed to hide.”

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea

Corn from the Indians, tobacco from the Indians, Dakota from the Indians, New Jersey from the Indians, New Hampshire from the Indians, New England from the Indians…

I am highly offended at that comparison.

I have teenagers: they’re much more mature, responsible, rational, and hard-working than the toddler-in-chief…in every possible way.

I can’t begin to imagine the shi*tstorm that would have resulted if this went the other way, especially with the “inactive voter” irregularities that were being reported.

Agreed, but even taking voter suppression into account it was an embarrassingly close race.

Once again, have to wonder what the hell white women are thinking.

My Facebook feed is crazy right now. Everyone I know in Alabama voted for Jones and it is like a big party going on. Such a squeaker.

I just cant believe they were trying to make people remember their county of birth, at the polling place, without the benefit of a cell phone. I know I would totally fail that question.

Congrats to our own @jilly who worked her butt off to help achieve this result. A small part of this victory belongs to you. Own it; you are awesome, @jilly

I could guess at mine, but without the internet available or my birth certificate on hand there’s no way I’d be certain on it. (After looking it up on the 'net, well… mine would be incredibly easy to remember, but I’ve never had to, and it’s just overall a really bullsh*t thing to throw at someone who’s just trying to exercise their constitutional rights).
