    Stop with the bullshit.

    The angry, old white folks didn't name call those people, angering them and making damn certain they'd vote against her. She did.

    The angry, old white folks didn't pick a milquetoast as fuck running mate who looked unhinged in his debates. She did.

    The angry, old white folks didn't empathize with Sanders supporters by giving Debbie Wasserman Shultz a job. She did.

    The angry, old white folks didn't neglect to campaign in Wisconsin. She did.

    Trump got fewer votes than Romney yet won. That means her own side stayed the hell home. That's on her.

    With one populous, insanely blue state accounting for the entire difference.

    Say, Captain Integrity, does that go for your team, too?

    Newly-elected House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Trey Gowdy does not plan to investigate Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election or questions of whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice.

    And then the shuck-and-jive ...

    The South Carolina Republican told a gathering of reporters Friday that he instead wants to return the Oversight panel to its original “compulsory” jurisdiction, including overseeing more mundane issues like government procurement and the Census.


    And while Oversight will likely pursue some investigations eventually, Gowdy was adamant that he does not want to infringe on the work of special counsel Robert Mueller.

    Gowdy also argued that the Russia scandal and questions of obstruction fall more in the jurisdiction of other committees — including the the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee, where he helps lead the investigation of Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election.

    I don't take anyone seriously regarding politics if they pull out the "this presidential candidate won the popular vote" argument.

    I don't take anyone seriously who dismisses it. Especially when it wasn't close.

    It's weird that you think that's some kind of asterisk. Well, not that weird. "Some people count for less than others" is not a new stance.
