Idiocracy

[Phileas Fogg]

Guys I'm starting to get a feeling that Trump's legal team isn't going to be successful in overturning some of the election results.

I'm not convinced they could overturn an empty bowl.

Or that they know the difference between overturn and turnover.

You hungry busta?

I could eat.

I heard there's a good wings joint open in Etobicoke. 

Say around 6?

Mmmm. Wings.

They've got a lot of popular flavours. mild, medium, hot, honey garlic, and conspiracy

From the CNN article "including a "secret lobbying scheme" and a bribery conspiracy that offered "a substantial political contribution in exchange for a presidential pardon or reprieve of sentence" for a convicted defendant whose name is redacted, according to the redacted documents.

Sounds like Flynn, no?

Ah, yeah, that wouldn't be Giuliani then. More like Flynn, and speaking of him...

Great job, GOP. Just a bang-up job. Whoever could have imagined that empowering crazy people would backfire in any way?

At what point does openly rejecting the duly elected man as President to instill a crackpot dictator stop being sad and cross that line into treason?  I?m having a hard time understanding how you can sit in office and get away with stuff this blatant.

It's insane that for all their belief in their institutions in the States what it really boils down to that after all the stress tests, that the President, while he is in the White House, is less a President and more a king if the Senate enables him.

Technically he hasn't been elected president yet. Those votes happen tomorrow and are counted in early January.

That is a bad technicality.

Ya. I expect some shenanigans to happen with the electoral college votes. These people are just as idiotic as the rest.

In 2016, three electors in DC elected Colin Powell and one elected Faith Spotted Eagle; the rest elected Hillary Clinton.

Even if the opposite party is in power, it takes 2/3rds senate majority to actually convict the president of a crime. It is hard to imagine that happening under any circumstance.

The pardon power also needs to be fixed. For instance, a president should not be able to pardon so,done for crimes committed during his own administration.

And then the legislative gridlock.

And then there is gerrymandering.

The US system of government has been shown to be a pretty terrible democracy.

I mean, I know don't cast stones when you live in glass houses and all that... But there's a reason the U.S. system of democracy has never been emulated successfully.

At the very least there should be apoltical/nonpartisan administration of elections and voting procedure. To leave it up to the parties is like letting the foxes rule the henhouse.
