I'm getting confused about the fake news debate. This is incredibly misleading but its not actually fake, Breitbart just glazed over the details in the article and put the information they used to create graph in a like disclaimer at the bottom. There was a post earlier talking about Trump using the countries debt to w...
If Trump stayed in a different hotel, the Secret Service would *also* have to pay the rent. Stay in a hotel, pay the rent. Duh. Look, I voted for Hillary, but this is just silly stuff. As a fellow Hillary voter, I'm already disgusted on the stuff the media decides to focus on with this guy
I didn't vote for trump. I am banned on the donald. But honestly, your comment is equally cancerous. Stop your fuckin whingeing, change your diaper, and deal with the fact that you now need to get to actual work if you don't want the orange buffoon to win a second term. They won. They're Americans. They have the right ...
Not to sound contrary, but if there is statistical evidence that Trump did better than Clinton in areas with electronic ballots and Clinton did better than Trump with paper ballots... what if the people running the paper ballots threw Trump votes away? You can't simply assume that the computerized voting is the only o...
Eight years, and as a Trump voter, I agree it will be a blast as he makes America great again. Ditto. And it may be longer than 8 years. I wouldn't be surprised if Ivanka is our first female president after her father's 8 years are up. We're looking at at-least 16 years of greatness, in my opinion. Liberals and cryba...
Yeah that was Trump, not the entire birther movement. Trump started the birther movement, so it's fair to say he's not the sharpest tool in the shed The birther movement was started by hillary supporters in the primaries and was just piggybacked by the GOP
Some bias is unavoidable. Despite our best effort at mitigating our own bias, there is always some residual bias that we can't even perceive. So it's not the *existence* of bias in NBC News reporting that worries me, rather it's the blatantness of it. NBC News is supposed to be above the more-obvious manipulative ta...
Thanks, this article convinced me to unsub. Another once great sub ruined by issue over-saturation. This is becoming /r/politics and the quality of the submissions shows that. Screw you guys, I'm goin home triggered cuck?
Jesus... this is what counts as news on here now? Anything anti-Trump goes
I used them as examples because I've seen them both use blatantly unflattering photos of political opponents numerous times. Not the point anyway. Substitute Huffington Post with whoever you feel would better represent what I'm talking about. You shouldn't have tried to use logic in an anti-Trump subreddit The only...
They shouldn't wait that long. The rioters already have home made bombs and clearly want to continue to attack peace officers. Bu-but the police planted those explosives! And they planted a gun when a protestor was arrested! And they started all the fires! And they sprayed water hoses at us when we totally weren't thr...
Who are you gonna blame when trump still wins? Russia? Sexism? No, they'll just recount until they get the numbers they want.
Read the reports-all of them and not just the ones in your own echo chamber. There's little doubt she was injured by a home made bomb. I hope she goes to prison when she's healed. Edit: Only on /r/politics is hoping a would-be cop killer is sent to prison a controversial statement. Never change /r/politics... nev...

Okay, what law specifically do you want legislated or repealed? Because the Standing Rock Indian Reservation does not have the riparian water rights to the Missouri River.

We had two choices. Elect the Democratic Nixon and have Trump or someone worse in four years. Or suffer Trump and get a better Democrat in four years. Which scenario is worse? Tossup. >Or suffer Trump and get a better Democrat in four years. Lol, who's the better Democrat, comrade Sanders or Pocahontas Warren? Y...
Hillary Clinton and her aides tried to use personal hand-held electronic devices inside areas used to store classified information.So what's the big deal? That's right it"s ok for your goddess. I agree with bolt2016. Shillary is evil. Flynn did aboslutely nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing. There's nothing anybody ...
Yep, For real. Can't wait to see Trumps lead increase from this. She stole way to many votes from him. I'm surprised he even won seeing as how the majority of the machines where soros. Wouldn't be surprised. Either way nothing significant will change because the results aren't close enough for there to be a shred of d...
Hmm, lots of votes but no answers. Hellooooo? -20 on my first comment and not one person can name a water law which needs to be looked at.
>If the healing is to start Trump needs to step up his compassion game. He ran a campaign full of hate and fear rhetoric towards groups of Americans. Uh no? Did you actually pay attention to what he said? Wow, down voted into oblivion in less than 14 minutes. ITT CTR is strong...
He was talking about other people not himself. You must understand, these clowns here are still severely butt hurt.
Still waiting on that Ft. Hood money though. "Workplace violence" What a cheapass. Islamic Terrorism? Who? What? Look at me dance on Ellen.
I was actually reading some of the topics before posting my enquiry (wage gap: 1, 2) The wage gap seems debunked in the discussions I read and the fallback from those who believe in the wage gap was that society reinforces gender roles which then spiralled off into a nature vs nurture debate which then spiralled off i...
Gay-shaming by HuffPo? Now that's new, even to me. It's fashionable to shame republicans for their sexuality, hetero or otherwise. We do it to show them that sexuality shaming is wrong. just a demonstration of how much more enlightened we liberals are.
So this guy is a legit downy then? Basically he's a raving lunatic. Describing the President elect as a clown a few days ago doesn't seem like something a rational, reasonable politician would do.
Why is this headline-worthy? I always assumed he was bi, not gay...? EDIT: Honestly not sure why this is getting downvoted...? Because calling him gay is much more fun, even if he has a wife and kid. /s
Why didn't they get birth control before? Maybe tighter abortion laws will make less abortions happen because they won't be screwing around without protection as much. Look, you cannot engage these people. They simply expect to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and have no responsibility whatsoever...
He's a symptom not the cause. Always remember that when you're busy feeling enraged at him particularly. Your rage is hilarious.
Hahahahaha This place is becoming more and more like the Onion. It's gold.
Sometimes it feels like Glen Greenwald's job is to disagree with every other person on earth. Greenwald is an activist "journalist." It only makes sense to read him if you already agree 100% with whatever horseshit he's spewing that day. I mean, the guy was a Salon columnist for 5 years, for fuck's sake.
You mean the doxxing that was done by muted users who were unmuted by the admins? fuck you /u/qlB2b. fuck /u/qlB2b
>Fake news I've been seeing this meme a lot recently. What exactly do they mean by this? I imagine they're not talking about The Onion since they're openly satire (and push a leftist agenda). It seems the term is only ever used by left-leaning media sources in reference to right-leaning media sources. Is this jus...
How many times is he going to condemn Bannon? Probably more than the total number of workers whose bosses were pressured by Reid to vote for Hillary in the Nevada caucuses.
Trump should just tell the population he will rebuild everything for free and give everyone a bunch of other free shit aside from that. Silly Trump, it's his own fault for not consulting Santa Claus before running. That sounds like sanders plan to. Here everybody, free everything for the poor. And average Joe gets...
Trump [isn't exactly wrong about it being a scam](https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/802200073375510529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). shhh let druid grandma continue to siphon money from the Hill-bullies for green party interests, this is therapeutic for me
Hillary supporters were claiming for weeks that it was a fair election and berating anyone who claimed otherwise. What changed? Nothing, they were always crybabies with no integrity. But hey, thanks to all the Democrat donors who donated to the recount. It's not every day somebody will self-fund their own disproving,...
You guys have an interesting definition of getting under someomes skin. He is accurately describing a scam. Shes collecting money which may or may not be used for the recount. That guy is a commie who thinks that Cuba's government is superior to ours. Just ignore him.
Hahahahaha /r/politics is a fucking bitch-ass cesspool. Fear rules your baby brains. Love, Trump hater and "liberal"
Her campaign probably pushed Stein into doing it in the first place. BINGO. Stein is shilling for Soros in Shillary
I agree this is terrible, but why is every such letter in r/politics? Because this is not a political sub, this is an anti Trump sub, and when something can be blamed on Trump it shall be blamed on Trump!
That's not true at all. You can't hold this opinion on r/politics, its like facts only matter to the left. Doesn't matter what legitimate facts the right has, just we are smarter than you, so we are right, here is OUR version of the facts.
He's absolutely right. The Washington Post has become a total disgrace. Well if a retard says so.
Well if a retard says so. This sub is so fucking retarded that two contradictory posts can get downvoted. Feel free to keep believing you will get legitimate news from Bezos empire lmao.
I see what youre saying, and did everyone expect hillary not to do the same but on an even bigger systematic scale? I mean they had a "charity" (cliton global ini) made for that exact reason, and no one can deny that at this point i think the big difference is that hillary would be horrible for foreign policy. there ...
So why are these prime age men NOT looking for work? Too easy to live in mom and dads basement for free and play xbox all day? You nailed it. These young people are addicted to digital entertainment and have no interest in bettering themselves. One reason for this is that when these young adults were children their p...

fuck yeah. they go low, we go high, we get more votes, but we still lose (House, Senate and Pres). If post-truth is where we are at, so be it.

Newsflash to the feminists: The first female President will be a Republican. Think about it and it makes a lot of sense. As for running for offices, good luck to them if they run campaigns on the issues and not gender-based anti-male campaigns like Hillary ran Republicans freed slaves, gave women the right to vote, a...
Probably someone on the left sending these letters like the liberal kids spray painting swastikas around. I guarantee it is. This wouldn't be the first, nor will it be the last time a leftist tries to frame Trump supporters. They need their oppression so much that they'll manufacture it when there isn't any.
This Sub is just as trash as T_D sane headed people are witnessing the alt right and alt left take the piss out of eachother.
don't get it. shhhh they think they know how to meme, dont tell them.
>Good, Clinton was a terrible candidate and she should feel bad for being so terrible. Also equally hilarious that even though she's probably the worst politician the world has yet to see, Trump lost the popular vote to her. What an absolute disgrace. That's great. Listen, here is a [picture of road construction](...
Your candidate lost. Get over it. Downvoted because mad. You're in Trump Country now, so get used to it ;)
Both sides suck. Agreed. It's quite ironic how this sub now spams the most about trump
Agreed. It's quite ironic how this sub now spams the most about trump Yah, it's just sheeple on both sides who will look past whatever's wrong with their candidate.
I bet none of you can prove what Castro has done wrong with evidence. See, you can't. All you ancap neckbeards need to shutup about things you don't know about.

Hillary's election would have been too. That was the problem with this year. I and 80 percent of the US agree with you. ETS does not. Because it was the anti-trump sub it turned into a hardcore pro Hillary sub. You and I will get downvoted
These people know the facts are on Trump's side in this case: - California issues drivers licenses to illegals (that is to say they cannot deny an illegal a license, not that some licenses slip through the cracks) - California automatically registers you to vote when given a drivers license As of early January 2016 (...
There's a difference between Trumps claim that he wouldn't accept the results pre-election, causing some sort of violent outcry and the oppositions current bet of challenging the results to make sure everything is correct. Why are Trump voters so horrified of a fair process that they keep crying hypocrite when that's n...
Hillary's election would have been too. That was the problem with this year. Honestly that was one of the worst parts of this election. Trump is atrocious but Hillary is pretty flawed too and the Democrats really should've put up a much better candidate.
Sweet! Then we can have a fair election and Bernie will be president! Bernie had his chance and lost in a landslide. Find another candidate. Preferably one who didn't write short stories about women who enjoyed being gang-raped.
You're clearly an exception and your anecdotal evidence means nothing. It's a not-so-humblebrag. "POC" isn't a relevant term in this situation. The bars are set differently for different "colours". There are definitely 99th-percentile-scoring black women at top schools. There are also definitely black women who wouldn...
This is the type of crazy, baseless statement that will get tons of upvotes here. I wish there could be discussion instead.

Lol. This is like a losing hockey team still on the ice trying to score after the winners are already in the locker room They're going the distance!
They both knew the rules when they were campaigning, they tailored their campaigns to it and she lost. Stop calling her the people's choice, it's irrelevant to the system we have. If you want the EC to change contact your legislators over the next 4 years to get a constitutional amendment added to get rid of the EC. y...
There's also been a rise in fake hate crimes. The radical alt left has a victim complex, poor snow flakes tend to report fake crimes for attention. I would upvote you, but r/politics wants this to be an echochamber for liberals so took away voting ability from non liberals (liberals are the only ones who would bother...
This is the only correct answer in this thread. In CA for instance you can register to vote without any proof of citizenship, you just have to sign that you assure the authorities that you are an american citizen. And this is never being checked. The only places where this is more difficult is in states with vo...
Does anyone else think those who disagree with us are Nazis? Edit: love how y'all are pretending Republicans are the ones who are easily triggered and need a safe space. You guys crack me up. Triggered
Because people who like these subreddits are delusional dipshits That was harsh. Your not wrong, just too harsh.
How can you call Trump the worst president that the US has ever had when he isn't even president yet? Because r/politics is full of idiots. Feels over reals.
the biggest crime is that nobody knows who is committing these crimes and they are all getting associated with Donald Trump. Until somebody is actually caught writing one of these messages or doing one of these acts nobody knows if there were or weren't a Trump supporter. It's very possible people damaged their own pr...

History is decidely NOT on your side. Of your 157, 71 changed their votes *because the candidate fucking died.* Oops, there goes half your precedent. He's going through the stages of grief, I guess it's better to just let him dream these beautiful delusions of electoral college tyranny than try to reason with him.
Bye, coward. You can say what you want about red state conservatives. They would never leave this country in a hundred years as a temper tantrum if their candidate wasn't elected. This sort of volatile, flimsy grasp of the way the Constitution works and lack of own emotional bearing is exactly why millenials lost th...
so, deadlines and law stuff like that doesn't matter? okay. edit, wait.. is it a double negative, so there is deadline? To quote the left: "Who cares what the moral and ethics people say, we need to win this motherfucker"
She needs to keep fighting. The money grab to fund the green party for the next elections is important. This is even better than federal funding. Free money, no refunds. Match me! $1000! She's literally scamming all you fools
Watching all you liberals freakout was worth it to give Trump four years. It was hilarious, still is. I'm not a Trump supporter, I'm a libertarian.

If only Bernie was in a position of power since 1999 to do something about it. What a shame. How many times do you suppose Sanders' household income went up since 1999?
How many times do you suppose Sanders' household income went up since 1999? Depends on which of his houses he is in.
Depends on which of his houses he is in. Well, he certainly doesn't know what it's like to be poor or live in a ghetto because he's white. Let's go with his lake-front house. He can lead the Revolution from there.

No, it's not. You folks know that r/news does not ban you for factual information. Cry "leftist bias" all day, but don't bullshit just to make yourself a victim. This sub is a satellite sub for The_Donald. The irony being that they ban and censor anybody they disagree with here more than any other news sub.
Actual scientific studies show that illegals do vote, and in large numbers: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261379414000973 Don't expect leftists to embrace science that's against their feels.
The word "fascism" should be banned here, it ultimately has no definition and is more or less a cliche Yep, these people have no idea what fascism means. And no, not liking Muslims doesn't make you fascist.
A law should be passed that makes burning the US flag or desecrating the flag a renunciation of US citizenship. Sounds perfectly reasonable. You would then be held in a deportation center until a nation willing to take you is found. If you hate America you do not want to be here and we do not want you here. That po...

Good. Our public education system is useless and ineffective. I actually agree with you on this, I don't think we should have publicly funded education at all, most of the kids in public school make nothing of themselves anyway. I'd rather just send my kids to private school and stop paying taxes for public school
havent heard much from this sub about Obama Doubling the National Debt during his Presidency...eh, Im sure it's just a coincidence. Debt is only good and acceptable if you are a liberal, didn't you get the memo? /s
I've seen nothing but acceptance for all races and sexualities on t_d. all the hate I've seen this election is from you people. Same here. r/politics has been nothing but a violently hateful circlejerk while r/the_donald has been extremely accepting and open.
Insightful analysis from Reddit. we lack original content on reddit so we're gonna blame trump supporters
