(1,965 posts)Laughing stock by sole virtue of drumpf stealing a term in the Oval Office. We have shown the world, in no uncertain terms that we well deserve the global disdain and ridicule.

(5,803 posts)A string of embarrassing GOPee presidents, starting with raygun...chimpy...now dump.
The rest of the world wonders WTF is the matter with Americans.
Of course, the sane among us don't go along with the stupidity but suffer nonetheless.

(11,841 posts)I bet in the future Trump won't attend any of the functions where all former US presidents appear together; as they did last week. He's just that big of an asshole
not fooled
(5,803 posts)It's to be hoped dump gets run out of office prematurely, e.g. is faced with impeachment and resigns. He accrues so much disgrace and infamy that he slinks away and never gets near the U.S. government, ever again.

(5,106 posts)but, as proven by two out of the three examples you cite, largely it's the electoral college system that is the real mystery to many of the people I've known from other countries that elect by popular vote. Why it still exists puzzles many of us citizens, as well. Had the results of the 2000 election had been reversed, the Republicans would have never stopped screaming. By 2016, the E.C. probably would have been gone.
not fooled
(5,803 posts)re the Electoral College. If enough Americans voted, the results of almost all elections should look like Virginia last Tuesday, portions of the Deep South and some other blood red areas excepted. Our policies and positions align with those of the majority but they haven't been voting. If they did the EC results would align with the popular vote and we would have solid majorities in both houses of Congress and most state houses.
There are lots more of us than them. That's why the pukes are running around denying people the right to vote and riling up their idiotic base.

I always get a std response of, "The system is too busy to reply to you" (more or less)
Or sometimes I reply, "Worst pResident ever"

I mean, it's propaganda from the party, but that many of the people can't see it, well, they've just got to want to be brainwashed.
