Mr. Trump Goes to Washington

[davedan]

Was just wondering whether your vote helped turn the election, in a state which Trump won by .3%

[Radiation]

Possibly but Michigan is mostly a conservative state save for cities like Detroit and Flint which often makes Michigan a swing state.

[davedan]

Prior to the most recent election, the last time Michigan voted for the Republicans in a presidential election was 1988 with George HW Bush.

Wow, I didn't know that, that is interesting, thank you.

[davedan]

So a 28 year swing

If it's any consolation, you're far from the only one to regret your vote.

But maybe one of the few.

The poll uses a nationally representative sample of participants. It would be interesting to see what a similar poll would look when applied to the state level in key states like Michigan. I do not expect the voters in traditional red states to regret their decision as often as the voters in the states that swung red and this is a more important factor if you are speculating how the election would go if redone now.

Edit: the piece makes the claim that the "Trump coalition" is intact. It is a minority coalition that hangs on having control of these swing states.

You know what place will be underwater if climate change isn't checked? Mar-a-Lago. So, naturally, Trump has decided that climate change isn't real and is cutting the budget for programs that would fight it.

Trump has signed the resolution passed in the House and Senate to reverse an FCC decision that barred ISPs from selling your browsing history without your consent.

They can now sell it to, say, advertisers, allowing ever-more-tightly targeted ads.

But anyone with enough money can buy anyone's browsing history, and use it for blackmail, or revenge. Send it to their boss, their parents, their spouse, their kids...

Go buy the browsing histories of the 266 Republicans (50 Senators, 215 Representatives, and President Trump) who signed off on this odious resolution and use it to get them kicked out of office in their next election... or, better, to embarrass them so much they're forced to resign.

The Cards Against Humanity guy is already vowing to do just that.  I have a feeling this is gonna get dropped real fast.

Ironbite-especially once the real juicy stuff gets out.

Indeed - if ex-Congressmen can be included, I bet Aaron Schock's internet search history would be a doozy!

[Id82]

Anyway to get Trump's search history.

[davedan]

I wonder how much of Trump's search history revolves around Ivanka?

[Tolpuddle Martyr]

I wonder how much of Trump's search history revolves around Ivanka?

...and what are the other search terms.

I'll bet good money that the phrases "best bronzer" and "how to get a dead squirrel off your head" is in his search history somewhere.
