This is basically a minority party who's support is growing at an astonishing rate.

A 3.4% increase in 5 years is hardly what I would qualify as "astonishing rate".

Good thing nobody asked you.

And for those of you who are glorious products of public schools and liberal universities.

21.3/17.9 = 18.99% increase
33.9/17.9 = 89.38% increase

I know I know, those liberal arts degree's taught you that numbers should be free to choose their own identity and that math was just The Patriarchy oppressing you, you know cause penis bad.

This was never taught at university it is just a stupid meme that makes no sense.

Also Trump Jr. used the same stupid analogy before: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/skittles-donald-trump-jr-tweet-skittles-are-candy-refugees-are-n651051 and Trump endorsed it.


Check your sources first.

Ah, correction. They're protesting the fact they were given such shitty candidates in the first place....
They voted for the candidates. They got the ones at the top of a shitpile.

Calling Macron left, particularly in regards to European politics is pretty damn funny. He's firmly center right....
Which is way left of Saevel.

Yates says she warned White House Flynn could be ‘blackmailed’
WaPo but pretty straight reportage.

Yeah Sally Yates and Jim Clapper looked really strong today, as nausi likes to say, it was a bad news day for Trump.

It was so bad for Trump, in fact, that the likelihood of him getting impeached increased by... 0%.

The only news about Trump is negative. I challenge anyone to find one good news story by Trump.

Considering all the bad "news" that led up to his election, I find it hard to consider anything Sally Yates said as particularly newsworthy. What was so bad for Trump here? That he probably shouldn't have hired a guy that he quickly fired? Oooooooo, there goes 2020.

Wait, how quickly after Yates informed the WH that Flynn was lying and consequently the VP was passing on inaccurate information to the public was Flynn fired?

Eighteen days. I'm actually surprised it only took that long, given the government's propensity to investigate at the speed of snail, and given the fact that Trump had a crapload of stuff to deal with as a brand new president.

Sometimes these things take time to play out, because there are a lot of optics and strategies involved with firing someone. You want to make sure you're not reacting before you have all the facts.

And btw, eighteen days is less than the time it took for Anthony Weiner to go from Twittering a picture of his crotch to actually resigning.

Translation for the real world: He shouldn't have hired a guy that he was informed was compromised almost three weeks prior to firing him only because the information was leaked to the press.

Like, c'mon.

You voted for someone that was under multiple FBI investigations for potential federal crimes, who only got off on flaky rationalizations of intent, and you were willing to put that person into the highest office in the land.

Please, humor me for even one second by saying that if a Democrat were in Flynn's position you would be upset by him not being fired on day one.
