yeah the FBI definitely seemed to give the momentum back to the Trump campaign, though with how grossly inaccurate the polling was the entire election its really tough to say.

This goes also for all of the people complaining about the Canadian system when Harper won a majority with 39% of the popular vote. This was an outrage! Then Trudeau wins with 39% of the popular vote and all you hear are crickets.

Is this true of Ben Carson too?

Yes, I keep seeing this statement being made that Hillary won the popular vote. If that was the factor that determined the ultimate winner, then Trump's campaign team would have devised a completely different campaign. The popular vote as it stands in the US is just a statistic, like how many shots were recorded in a hockey game.

I am not defending his cabinet, but I don't see why skin color or gender is the most important aspect of picking a cabinet. I realize this isn't a "PC" attitude. I am just saying that the people I talked to were frustrated by what they saw as incompetent boobs, no matter what their gender or skin color, being appointed to positions of power in the government (no matter which party was in power) purely due to political reasons, and not because of merit or experience or talent. Is Trump reversing that trend and appointing talented, experienced people (at least perceived to be anyway)? I don't know. I just think saying that they are bad appointments because there are too many "white" people just seems to be reverse discrimination.

I have a feeling that no matter who Trump appointed, and how diverse his cabinet would be, that all there would be would be negative comments from the MSM. As I expect every policy he comes up with to met with by the MSM. As every move he has made since the day after he won has been met with the MSM. Here is Jim Brown talking about his admiration for Trump - the CNN commentator is in complete shock: http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2016/12/13/jim-brown-donald-trump-cnn-brooke-baldwin-jim-brown.cnn I for one just want to see the best people for the job. I realize in government that is no longer the way things are, and talent and experience have to take a back seat to the PC rules, but I guess I'm old fashioned that way. One complaint I heard over and over again from the many Trump voters I talked to in the US was that they were tired of unqualified people getting all of the jobs in government. Are the people Trump is appointing qualified? If so, then Trump is doing what he was elected to do.

I found it funny that after all of the celebs trying to influence the Electoral College to vote for "someone else", only two votes didn't go to Trump on the Republican side, while on the Democrat side, four votes didn't go to Hillary. After all of the money spent on a last gasp to influence the EC, Hillary ended up being the one getting less votes. I guess upholding democracy was more important than the eternal respect of Martin Sheen and Mike Farrell (who?) When will these narcissists ever learn? No one cares what you think!!

and a Canadian woman was murdered by scumbags in Jordan on the weekend. Must be Buddhists.

Those darn Amish, always blowing **** up.

hopefully he falls to 18th and we can get him.

Patrick Nolan is hurt right? Otherwise he'd be playing?

If I didn't know that was Finnish I would assume it was Italian, or an Italian trying to speak Finnish.

How about Kyle Connor? Is he eligible to play in this tourney? I know last year he should have been playing.

yes with the talent they are assembling they are reminding me of the WHA days. Without the league dominance.

still better than "spirited energy"

yup, they are in tough right now.

until they unload Burrows and the Sedin sisters they will be suffering.

yes that collapsing box is frustrating to watch. They just gave Iginla that goal. No challenge whatsoever.

LOL - yeah good point. In a good mood as enjoying some Christmas cheer while watching the Jets finally play a complete game. Merry Christmas to all and safe travels if you are traveling in the next week to be with your loved ones.

LOL - "regressive tinted glasses", no one can have a different opinion than you without being labeled. I am willing to give her some benefit of the doubt if she couldn't hear Maria trying to get in a word edgewise, but to me it just seemed like Pelosi was babbling away and spouting talking points. I wonder how interested the Dems would be in "getting to the bottom" of this Russia stuff if Hillary had won. I would guess that this issue wouldn't even be talked about right now, or Trump would be talking about it, and everyone would be laughing at him.

It's funny how two people can watch a video and see the complete opposite. What I saw is that Christine Pelosi is just as stunned as her mother.

I thought this graphic was interesting - it shows just much of the US population is concentrated in such small parts of the US.

What is being argued? What is the point?
