If you were in a coma, missed the election, woke up and were shown these two tweets, I wonder if you'd be able to guess who won pic.twitter.com/I4QYjkg41g

Meanwhile, on Earth 2, Justice Garland had nothing to say about the Muslim ban because President Clinton didn't fucking ban Muslims.

Why is Deadbeat Donnie still in the news?

Hillary wouldn’t have nominated Garland, she’d have nominated Srinivasan, and the usual suspects on the left would be having a she-betrayed-us tantrum because of some decision they didn’t like. Protesting at courthouses, probably.

I’m celebrating the fact that the Santa Fe County Board of Commissioners passed a Resolution supporting the Paris Climate Agreement today. If our foolish prez-asterisk won’t take climate change seriously, at least the rest of us can.

A friend bought me factorio 10 days ago. I have put 108 hours into it because holy shit optimisation and automation.
Also I made a kickass ~130 furnace iron works.

@Major Major Major Major: I think she would have kept Garland. I think RBG,assuming the Senate was okay, would have retired and Srinivasan would have been nominated. Also, fuck Neal Katyal. Preet Bharara would still have a public service job, hopefully higher than the SDNY USA but we would have missed his very funny tweeting. Who woulda thunk a USA would have a really good sense of humor?

Where is the portal to that other universe?
Meanwhile there’s some story bubbling up about a few lefties being upset at the Obamas fabulous and endless vacation.
Also, an intriguing Guardian story about one of Trump’s lawyers getting poor people to donate to his foundation, and then using the money to find his personal lavish lifestyle. Wonder where he learned to do that?

The Queen would have invited the first US female president pronto and pulled all the stops out and have her ride in her gold carriage. Also, Justin Trudeau, Merkel and Macron would have been doing selfies with Hilz. Chelsea Clinton would have looked dreamily at Justin Trudeau just like somebody else we have to come to know for grifting. Fox Nooz would have been running stories on if Chelsea was having an affair with Trudeau.

@Omnes Omnibus: No argument here. But it’s Fox. They’re also, apparently, hyping something that was debunked several years ago. And Hannity is back on the Seth Rich conspiracy garbage. Yet CNN had to fire an entire investigatory team because Scaramucci’s lawyer threatened a $100 million libel suit for the story they retracted.

don’t know if this has been posted. it may be a bit simplistic but the basic sentiment hit home. i can’t understand how so many people feel absolutely no shame at screwing their fellow citizens, and in fact seem angered by the notion they have any responsibility to help anyone.
