Right there with ya but I sometimes read summaries/transcripts of her shows because DH is a fan and likes to discuss the stuff she reports.
I was surprised that Mika wasn't a total flake but not enough to watch the show again. Nothing against her or Joe, I'm just an old woman who's more into print journalism.

I said the same thing about Obama when he was president and many others said it as well but we never said he was not our president. No one tore up college campuses either.

Precisely, but riot over results is something else altogether.

You do realize that the EC was created at a time when the majority of Americans were uneducated and illiterate, don't you? That is why it's outdated, because both have been largely eradicated

Isn't this what the left is doing when they say Trump is not our president, or CNN is solid news you can count on, etc, etc. etc?

I know the right does it as well but how disconnected can you get when Trump was sworn and we all saw it with our own eyes, CNN was caught lying by their own news staff when they were recorded in private.
No.

It is/was an expression of distaste, not a claim that Trump did not win the electoral college vote.

And you are right, the left does not own hyperbole. But you seem to have trouble recognizing it when you see it.

No, Cognitive dissonance is you guys acting like Trump is doing a great job, when he's literally destroying the country and behaving like a fascist.

Well that and he was put into power by Putin, and thus is an enemy of the country.

How is he destroying the country when he is bringing jobs back and renegotiation trade deals, etc, etc, etc.

The antifa are the real fascists but they are following the Alinsky manual to blame your enemies for the exact thing you are doing.
