If so, then your assertion that an election is illegitimate also invites violence.

That’s not illegitimate. That’s a perfectly legal thing for electors to do.

FTFY.

So is it legal or no? if not legally binding it would not be legitimate, therefore illigitimate. But if so then it is legally legit by legal definition, lawfully.

I could probably work a few more L's into that reply, but I'm typing on a gasoline powered computer right now running through a gasoline-powered ISP.

Brietbart's article is actually somehow 2 days out of date at time of publishing because Trump already publicly disavowed the rally-chants.

And TBH, alternate context is telling her to go back and fix New York before deciding to dictate the lives of all America or the world.


(Press X to doubt this is the whole story)

So she got the nobel prize for surviving rape? (granted, it was rape plus genocide -or genocide as defined by rape- but still...)

It looks as though Trump took a perscription sedative right before meeting her... or stayed awake during the entirely wrong parts about his morning briefing to think she was going to discuss the location of the last ISIS strongholds so he could hand Mattis a series of grid coordinates and finish things.

Or, and I can't believe I'm agree with Lumen on this, don't post them, and don't link to Breitbart, all you're doing is giving them what they want, more views to increase their pay.

No, I have been watching them for over 2 years now. I initially had the same conclusion but now have grown too wary.
