Kudos to the President

The result of the FBI investigation into Clinton’s email was damning. Period.

Damning in a legal sense? As in broke the law? Or as in ruined her career/campaign?

@DoubleDuce

You said the FBI exonerated her and I contradicted that by reminding you that not pressing charges isn’t exoneration.

exonerate (ɪɡˈzɒnəˌreɪt)
vb (tr)

1. (Law) to clear or absolve from blame or a criminal charge [emphasis mine]

exonerate

@DoubleDuce

The result of the FBI investigation into Clinton’s email was damning. Period.

I have already acknowledged that this is your opinion. Are you now asserting that your opinion has the status of fact?

[DoubleDuce]

Ethically. She was shown to be a person who shouldn’t have classified info and is a serial liar.

@DoubleDuce

Agreed. But then again, I feel that way about most politicians.

Main difference was she had a lot more spotlight than the other liars and shitheads.

[DoubleDuce]

Well, then your claims of exonerating if not used colloquially was a straw man as you weren’t contradicting anything I said.

[DoubleDuce]

I can absolutely buy that.

The result of the FBI investigation into Clinton’s email was not, repeat not, damning in an ethical sense.

I have now contradicted something you said.

[DoubleDuce]

If you don’t call repeated point blank lying in an effort to cover up gross negligence that exposed classified material to our enemies as confirmed explicitly by the FBI, damning ethically, then we can just agree to disagree. I’m very comfortable not agreeing with the ethical evaluations of someone who doesn’t approve of human rights.

Again, the popular vote would disagree with you here

With very few people actually getting to the polls. I forget the exact stats, but something like only 10% of the voting population voted for Hillary (and, yes, even less for Trump).

The average person technically didn’t even vote … so … not sure if the “average” person just doesn’t like (lord knows I don’t), but saying b/c she won the popular vote doesn’t mean much when MAYBE a quarter of the voting population actually cast a ballot.

What does voter turnout tell us about the 2016 election?

Estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like California continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the U.S. Elections Project.

HRC pop vote ~65Mil
Population of America (voters and non voters) ~315Mil

I’m not sure what the exact numbers are, but for 10% to be true we’d need 650Mil voting age citizens.

Edit: Regardless of turnout, 120Mil+ people seems like a preeeeetty good sample size

@pfury

I’m not sure how, especially in retrospect, the winner of the popular vote had a 0% chance of winning.

She didn’t, she had better chances to win than Trump, which Trump’s team conceded on election night.

Hillary and her cronies at the DNC blew it, and blew it by historical proportions.

Methinks you need to brush up on your maths.

@pfury

HRC pop vote ~65Mi
lPopulation of America (voters and non voters) ~315Mil

The estimated voting-eligible population was about 230 million. HRC sure wasn’t popular, but she got much more than “10 percent” of the voting population. More like ~30 percent. Likewise for Trump.

You need to stop wasting your time around here and get yourself a stand-up comic career. I would pay to see you…I would.

Big deal according to the movie Snowden we all get accidentally survieled… it’s all ever since 911 and Patriot act Bush & Obama made it unsafe to send dick pics or spank the monkey to pornhub
Which is a national travesty imo
But let’s be real they most likely got picked up while conversating with Ruskies

Doubtful. Apparently I am wrong about what I had read months ago. Sue me.

BINGO!

Well, I won’t sue you, but it would be nice to know that your recall is sufficient to remember the difference between “65 million Americans voted Democrat in the Presidential election” and “20 million Americans voted Democrat in the Presidential election.”

Either that, or you don’t know the size of the U.S. population to within an order of magnitude (I know, it’s hard to remember whether a “million” or “billion” is bigger when you’re as rich as Donald Trump, but maybe our common citizens can try to keep those two things straight).

oooor you can take your condescension and shove it right up your ass.

I had mistaken the primary turn outs with general turn outs … do you usually talk to people like that or is this special just for me? The fuck is your problem?

I thought conservatives generally had it out special snowflakes that needed safe spaces?

Are your feelings hurt by some jokey jokes about your inability to remember the relative magnitude of the U.S. population and the number of people who voted in the general?
