Russia narrative falling apart

Wrong, idiot. The will of the people is reflected by popular vote. The electoral vote, in this case, was decided by 77,000 votes in 3 states.

The election of President and Vice President of the United States is an indirect election in which citizens of the United States who are registered to vote in one of the 50 U.S. states or Washington, D.C. cast ballots for members of the U.S. Electoral College, known as electors.

These electors then in turn cast direct votes, known as electoral votes, for President and Vice President.

The candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes for President or Vice President (currently, at least 270 out of a total of 538) is then elected to that office.

The Electoral College and its procedure is established in the U.S. Constitution by Article II, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 4; and the Twelfth Amendment (which replaced Clause 3 after its ratification in 1804). Under Clause 2, each of the states casts as many electoral votes as the total number of its Senators and Representatives in Congress, while, per the Twenty-third Amendment ratified in 1961, Washington, D.C. casts the same number of electoral votes as the least-represented state, which is three. Also under Clause 2, the manner for choosing electors is determined by each state legislature, not directly by the federal government.

Nope. Trump can't fire Mueller. Only the Deputy AG can. Trump can fire him, however, and continue to do so until he finds someone who will fire Mueller. Good luck with that.

I grant it would create a constitutional crisis but you need to educate yourself.

This regulation attempts to impose meaningful restrictions on the removal of special counsels. Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, who was involved in drafting Part 600 nearly two decades ago, explains that there are only two paths by which Mueller could be fired. First, President Trump “would have to direct Rosenstein to fire Mueller” for some form of misconduct that rises to the level of “good cause.” Second, Katyal notes, “Trump could order the special-counsel regulations repealed and then fire Mueller himself.”

Not so, according to the Mueller team.

The Mueller team has come out with NOTHING. You've talked to Mueller?

After almost a year, not even a press release about the status of what it is they are even investigating....nothing about the costs....and you snowflakes stupidly thinks this has been a great thing.

Morons.

Not by a long short, Trumptard. Read your own article for once. And the article makes clear it involved only two states of more than twenty and reversed again as to those states.

The story is about the Orange cheeto, not whether Russia hacked Wisconsin voters rather than its workforce rolls, fucking dummy.

And the source is homeland security, not liberal media. Looks like state agencies don't like appearing incompetent, so if the feds waffle on claims, the states push back for their own politicl reasons.

Don't expect a dumbass Trumkin to get this though Too deep. Too many facts. Too much assumed knowledge.

Right there, moron. "Indirect" is the key word. The will of the people is a direct vote.

Next.

Irrelevant, unless you can establish relevance.

I knew you wouldn't find any evidence in our Constitution to substantiate your moronic claim that "the will of the people is a direct vote."

Indirect is irrelevant? Just fucking priceless! Better review your own post #63, ignoramus.

I never claimed the will of the people (direct vote) was in the Constitution, you fucking idiot. Anybody with more than half a brain, which excludes you, cretin, recognizes that the general will is a direct measure, not an indirect one.

This is exactly why you threadban people. You are exposed for your massive stupidity.

If it's not in the Constitution, it has nothing to do with how our presidential elections are conducted, does it? That makes it...wait for it...irrelevant.

I ban the massively stupid, people who make irrelevant statements and claim they are valid contextual arguments. That's you. I ban racists, liars, hypocrites, and trolls. You're in perfect company with that bunch, and you just proved it again.
