    Fun fact for the day: The Republican has won the most votes just once in the last 7 presidential elections.

    Apparently you get more votes when you promise more free stuff.

    According to the UN's own predictive model, the Paris Accord would cost $100,000,000,000,000 (that's $100 trillion) and the hopeful result is that the earth's temperature will be decreased by 3/10 of 1 degree by the year 2100.

    They could put solar power on every building IN THE WORLD for a fraction of the cost that the Paris Accord would be AND it would have far greater impact on CO2 levels.

    I'm not against reducing pollution, I'm against lunacy.

    So your argument is that if everyone else is jumping off a bridge, we should to? Is it a good deal based on economic loss vs climate gain or is it a bad deal? Any other argument is just a distraction. How much do you honestly know about the paris deal?

    Yeah I'm being serious. Kerry was advised at DNC levels to contest Ohio.
    In 2004 there were issues with Diebold voting machines.

    Not a trolling issue. This was something that happened.
    It is responsibily assumed JFK won Illinois in 1960 by similar means.
    This happens

    You sound like Trump claiming millions illegally voted for Hillary.

    I'm not claiming anything just sayin in November 2004 Kerry was criticized for not demanding a recount by many upper echelon DNC members.

    this from wikipedia:
    Objection to certification of Ohio's electoral votes

    On January 6, 2005, Senator Barbara Boxer joined Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio in filing a Congressional objection to the certification of Ohio's Electoral College votes due to alleged irregularities including disqualification of provisional ballots, alleged misallocation of voting machines, and disproportionally long waits in poor and predominantly African-American communities.[69][70] The Senate voted the objection down 1–74; the House voted the objection down 31–267.[69] It was only the second Congressional objection to an entire State's electoral delegation in U.S. history; the first instance was in 1877, when all the electors from three southern states were challenged, and one from Oregon.[69][71] (An objection to a single faithless elector was filed in 1969.)[69]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_U..._controversies

    Like I said, it is something that happened. No more no less

    Fun fact, the Clintons used slave servants and laborers while living in the governor's mansion. Literally black men in chains made to do housework and yardwork at gunpoint. Remember it's not illegal for the state and federal government to own slaves. Just individuals.

    Donald Trimp: "I'm 100% willing to lie under oath."

    I know a quote isn't the same thing as a fact, but I guess it can be if the quoter is of especially unimpeachable character and integrity.

    Data mining to micro-target advertising would've been sufficient. And it would've required collusion.
    .....................

    In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...-u-s-elections


    Such operations need not change votes to be effective. In fact, the Obama administration believed that the Russians were possibly preparing to delete voter registration information or slow vote tallying in order to undermine confidence in the election. That effort went far beyond the carefully timed release of private communications by individuals and parties.
