Imagine Trump winning the popular vote via solid margins in Florida and Ohio but losing the election from narrow losses in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. All of the liberals calling for an end to the electoral college will look really stupid.

Aren't most murders a "hate crime?" :coffee: Aside from crimes of passion, you don't often hear or read about someone murdering another person out of love.
No kidding. If you lunch someone, you probably already hate them.

This is a great example of some Conks being stupid, sensitive snowflakes.

Are you going to post it in the AGS poly pictures thread? I want to see gymnastics people go through to rationalize why the commenters aren't stupid, sensitive snowflakes.

The conservative movement is truly dead if Trump is the keynote speaker at CPAC. And wildly cheered at that.

The conservative movement isn’t dead. Just the GOP.

CPAC was started as a movement gathering, not a GOP front.

Venezuela's Maduro urges women to have six children
In a country where a majority of the new mothers cannot breastfeed because they are malnourished and women are selling their hair, President Madura is encouraging more child birth to celebrate International Women’s Day
"May God bless you for having given life to six little girls and boys", Mr Maduro told a woman who attended the healthcare event.
"Every woman should have six children for the good of the country", he said, adding that it was "women's week", a reference to International Women's Day on 8 March.
