That would be right if we still lived in a society that believed in truth. We're post truth now, unfortunately. 1 Link to post

Yes, unfortunately - truth is bendable and flexible and the most deceitful, with the backing of enablers without a conscience (Congressional GOP for example) can often win the day with their version of the 'truth'.

Republicans have won ONE presidential popular vote since 1988 (totaling 33,000,000 less votes). That is why they defend and rely so heavily on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the electoral college. 2 Link to post

Well the 2020 elections may flip some governorships and state houses - perhaps we'll see some redrawing and maybe some SC rulings to even the playing field. The GOP won in 2000 by a hair's breath in the electoral college. 2016 they won the electoral college only because the Dems nominated the worst possible candidate and Trump still lost the popular vote.

The guy who's "University" was shut down and forced to pay $25M in settlements for law suits related to illegal business practices. The guy who's hotels the Saudis always stay at when they're in town. The guy who has scammed his way out of taxes by manipulating the value of his units. The guy who has Russian mobster buy and live in his condos to launder money. The guy who has massive loans with Deutsche Bank, who oddly received similar amounts of money from the Russians... All verifiable facts. But this guy is interested in rooting out corruption... 3 3 Link to post
