It was pointed out to me recently that despite there being 45 presidents only 44 people have held that office.

The days of having to use the mainstream media outlets to reach constituents is dead and over. How much gets spent on ads in presidential elections now? Over a billion each cycle, just for the presidential races. This is life or death for these hacks. This is why they drive every point home with "a president tweeting is wrong" in some derivation. They just want to remain in control. Bunch of incestuous arrogant self-fellating cock suckers. I can't wait for all of these networks to die their deserved deaths of irrelevancy. I'm well beyond caring much about Trump's policies as they couldn't possibly be worse than what we usually get from the Democrats or Republicans. Hell, most of his "worst" policies seem to just be Republican policies. So who cares? Just sit back, enjoy the ride, and let everyone else get bent out of shape over tweets.
 

All those verifieds in the top responses morally hand wringing is just adorable. If it was Obama referencing or posting memes all we'd have been hearing about is how "hip and in touch" he is.

Yes I do approve of our president shitposting like the common folk.

Similar to Jesse Richman's, that America has tens of thousands of non-citizens voting, but the number still isn't high enough to make any real change to most electoral outcomes or account for millions of votes in the 2016's meaningless popular vote differential. Complaining about voter fraud, to me, is just as banal as when liberals deride gerrymandering or how voter ID laws screw over some trivial percent of the population. 
 
My solution: 

 

An editorial in Investor's Business Daily, citing three studies, asserts that it is likely that Trump was right about illegal votes costing him the popular vote.  The first study was by an online anti-voter-fraud website, the second was in a political science journal and the third was from a conservative/libertarian think tank.  I am curious if there are any reasonably rigorous studies that have come to the opposite conclusion.  I don't know, it's not something I've looked into.  My gut feeling is that Trump was right, or at least numerically not far off on that particular point, but guts are for digesting and holding in bacteria, not number-crunching.

never forget

One of the fascinating things about Trump's polarizing personality is that extreme anti-Trump and extreme pro-Trump propaganda are often impossible to tell apart.  I've posted this one already:
 

 
Here is Trump leading an army of Nazi demons against a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic crowd of protesters.  Obviously, the person who made this image feels very strongly about Trump, but I find it impossible to tell whether they are for or against the man.  Obviously, the anti-Trump crowd is going to get flattened, unless that freaky white bird thing can shoot lasers or something.  You don't beat an army of demons like that with protest signs, you beat them with the BFG 9000.  Is this piece of art extolling the nobility of a righteous, but ultimately doomed struggle against Trump, or is it exalting in a victory that already seems inevitable?
 

 
Here we see a post-Trump totalitarian Nazi state.  Again, is the artist for this or against it?  I can't tell.  Are we supposed to be fearful and rallying against that which should never come to pass, or are we supposed to be nodding along in approval?  I mean, the streets do look rather clean, and the construction industry is clearly robust.  On the other hand, there are clearly Gestapo bothering people for their papers.  But isn't this exactly what Trump voters want?
 

 
Here we see that the dastardly Trump has arrogated the regalia, and presumably powers of state, of a monarch, and being a sexist douchebag, has chained naked women to his throne.  Am I supposed to consider the man skewered by such a deft exaggeration of his own pretense, or am I supposed to be thrilled by vicariously experiencing the God Emperor's heroism?  I CAN'T TELL.
 

 
What is going on here?  Is this a swipe at the Trump constituency for being a bunch of racists, generic and interchangeable middle-Americans and secret Communist agents?  Or is it a jab at Trump's detractors for their idiotic portrayal of Trump's constituency as a bunch of pre-LBJ Democrats, generic and interchangeable middle-Americans and secret Communist agents?

It is looking more and more like we are witnessing the death of mainstream TV news, at least as we've come to know it these past few decades.
Unless some investor or board member gets smart and starts wholesale firing of these hacks.

   So, when Burger King, Netflix, Apple and Amazon will pledge their loyalty to His Majesty Trump the 3rd?
 

TFW Donald Trump does more to solve the North Korean situation than Obama did in 8 years.

McCain is old and senile. He still thinks the Cold War is going on, and we have to arm the fascists to fight the commies.

One of the big reasons the US government can't cooperate with the Russian government, many of the people in power cannot move past the Cold War.
