By November 10, 2016 — just two days after the election! — television talking heads were already conjuring up theoretical scenarios in which Donald Trump could be removed from office. Since then, TV journalists have amassed quite a repertoire of possible causes for a premature end to the Trump White House, including (but not limited to): his tax returns; his family’s business dealings, both home and abroad; his firing of various cabinet officials; and of course, his tweets.

which looks almost identical to the 2016 electoral map except for the areas where weed is now legal and mexicans live.
I've also seen that same image like 15 times this morning by various sources.

Maybe I've just no respect for tradition, but this was a very real contributing factor to the dissolution of my prior engagement. It turned out that she had no motivation, no aspiration for upward mobility and adventure, and no desire for growth and the experience of new things. Literally, her life goal was to have a 3 bedroom house in the suburbs with a fence in the back, and stay at home all day, and literally never do anything else.
And I just couldn't deal with that. If I'm gonna be married to someone, she needs to want the DINK lifestyle.

Democrats stopped talking about gun control and cry about impeachment again so you don't notice this report:
FBI statistics released Monday shows that more than five times as many people were killed in knife attacks last year as by shootings with rifles.
According to the agency’s annual Uniform Crime Report, 1,515 homicides in 2018 were committed with knifes and/or other cutting instruments compared to compared to 297 with rifles. That was an even bigger gap than in 2017, when the FBI found four times as many killings by knife as by rifle.
At the same time, more than twice as many people, 672, were beaten to death last year than were killed with a rifle, the FBI reported based on nationwide law enforcement data.

It's as though ultra-right fanbois are just as eager as ultra-left fanbois to gloss over the incompetent-bordering-on-criminal inadequacies of their designated Glorious Leader surrogates, while liberty and security both crumble.
