...and the former guy likely got far fewer than 74 million.

He's pretty much said he cheated, just not enough. He wouldn't have tried so hard to overturn Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, as well as Michigan and Wisconsin, the surprises from 2016, if he hadn't thought he had those states won. My guess? 87 million to 65 million.

If you're a republican, you can just ignore the fact that your side lost the last election by 5 million votes, and do Exactly Fuck All to help the actual Winners govern the nation.

He won't stop until he dies or strokes out. He's in the top 5 worst human beings in America, and has been there for decades.

I've yet to see an action from this Admin that I would consider "Left-Wing".

11. 81 million people voted for change. What wasn't voted for was that billionaire's tax cut.

Hillary and the Democratic had the majority vote that election as well.

14. Remember how we voted for crimes against humanity in 2016?

Me neither, but we had to watch the former guy tear refugee families apart, put kids in cages, and criminalize asylum seekers. What did Sen. McConnell think about that transformation of America from beacon of freedom to the world to sycophantic imitation of Russian gulags?

Lacking anything positive to show for themselves, it's all they have to fall back on anymore.
