[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 34699, member: 57984"] More people voted for Hillary Clinton than voted for any presidential candidate in American history. Plus, she received nearly 3 million votes more than Trump. Yes, the electoral college -- which has always existed to undermine the popular vote -- gave the presidency to Trump anyway (Trump had previously decried the electoral college system until it gave him the White House and "suddenly, I see its brilliance!"). And the fact that he's a thin-skinned clod who demands he be praised 24 /7 and can't avoid tweeting an angry retort when SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE makes fun of him (they've been making fun of presidents for 42 years ever since Gerald Ford) is like acid on a wound to some folks. He won the electoral college because of three swing states where he achieved a razor-thin victory due to white working class voters who will be his and the Republicans' biggest victims but who admired Trump's swaggering, bigoted, asshole narcissism so much that they were willing to be destroyed once and for all by him. It's kinda sweet, really. What Meryl Streep said was completely reasonable (although she should have edited out the mixed martial arts reference) but she doubtless knew it would elicit precisely the response it did, her attempt to point out that Hollywood is occupied by many people of many background ignored by Trump who just repeated his "media elite" crap that Billy Joe BabyBackRibDude swallows whole, the irony so ironic it wasn't even. Worse, both houses of Congress are going Republican now. So this is the first time since 1928 that the White House, the Senate and the House or Representatives have all three been in Republican control. And we all know how the '20s ended... And the first thing the new Congress decided to do was to eliminate the ethics board (public outcry and even Trump himself put a stop, kind of, to that). Maybe Meryl can act like 2016 never happened. She's pretty good, y'know. [IMG]http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/37900000/Meryl-Streep-meryl-streep-37982869-1024-768.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
