Impressive spin---Trump eliminated only page of a two-page report to make his point, By posting that the "Popular vote victory was all California" your phraseology suggests (intentionally or not) that Trump only lost 1 state.
Nope. You know what I am talking about. In a popular vote election states would not matter. And if look at all the other 49 states together without California...Trump wins popular vote. As I said it does not matter as that is not what we have and campaigns would be different if it was.
No, my2cents, this is (unfortunately another) one of those times that I have no idea what you are talking about---I can't read minds.
How useful is the average temperature of the earth?---that temperature could be computed mathematically to whatever degree of approximation one might wish, but it would be hardly be in any way enlightening to us or useful to any earthling wondering about the forecast for his or her location.
Edit corrected spelling

What makes you think it's all hyperbole? Mueller may not have found collusion or conspiracy, but I believe he has found obstruction - at least ten counts. How well do you think the economy will do when the farmers can't sell their crops or the ranchers can't sell their beef, etc.? Trump created that mess with his tariff war and now WE taxpayers have to pay the farmer to make them whole. One politician on a talk show this morning put it quite succinctly: Trump is the arsonist who started the fire and now he's the firefighter who wants to put it out. When workers get laid off because their companies can't sell their products, when the cost of food and other necessities rise, how many of us with jobs will have to bail all these folks out?
First, I don’t give much credence to statements lumping “everyone” in a particular category.
Second, I’m not convinced that impeachment is imminent, nor even likely at this point, given the GOP-led Senate‘s slavish loyalty to the WH.
I am convinced Trump is increasingly vulnerable at the voting booth, a view seemingly shared by Democrats, who have lined up two dozen candidates to challenge him. There seems to be a plan afoot to feed Trump enough rope to hang himself in the eyes of those voters who are not as “dug in“ to their positions as others of us are. Hard to say he won’t be the cause of his own demise.
This blather I’m reading about the economy being the only pertinent issue is short-sighted, self-serving and sad. Maybe to you it is. There are many significant issues, not the least of which is the volume of things NOT accomplished, the deals not made, and the divisive, despotic, and frankly stupid conduct of the President himself.
More of a gasp because since one's judgment is only as good as one's information, I shudder at what the occasional reader of some of the answers and explanations proffered here as "truth" takes away as adequate explanations of reality.
I have tried to adjust to the requirement of "respect" on this site---primarily since I tend to be sarcastic when I am not in tutoring mode (at which time I have considerably more patience---perhaps because the subject has come to me to learn.)
After the last flare-up a few weeks ago on here---as a result of which JA deleted a question and all the answers---and sent out a number of messages containing a polite "cease-and-desist" order (without prejudice) to all involved---I decided to adapt Usain Bolt's approach that I found on the internet (probably related to his electric car) that he does not respond to "stupid comments."
That worked well until I realized too much harmful radiation from those answers was still bombarding those who unknowingly exposed themselves to that deadly but unseen hazard.
Agreed. I have concluded better wisdom rests with avoiding those whose posts are just not worth extending my thought to, the closed minds, grammar obsessives, and the shockingly unsophisticated.
Sarcasm tends to be a tricky dance here, but I still say we shouldn’t give up on it altogether. Lol.
I do have much less problem with the closed minds and the grammar obsessives than the shockingly unsophisticated. The first two are like the STISL loan (Short Term Inherently Self Limited). However, the third ranges far and wide with its lack of understanding and confusion---ready to be applied to any topic put here for discussion.
