When we realize he wasn't lying about it being rigged, we just thought he meant the other direction

It's still accurate in the way of losing the popular vote, and he still thinks it was rigged.

I take issue with her sign. It is rigged and we are all losing...

He never said it was rigged in Hillary's favor, that I heard. Only that it was rigged.

Yeah cos this scenario really worked out for you guys didn't it. Fucking idiot.
ShouTuckersGhost
I'm pretty happy
Then you're definitely a fucking idiot
Is it really so hard to believe that a reasonable person could disagree with you politically?

It's funny because it was rigged the other way

When he's impeached, it will.

Cool. Moving on from that, Trump is destroying your fucking country.

If it didn't have teams, it would just be a bureaucracy. And then the "independents" wouldn't be able to look down their noses at everyone.

We're not sure that it isn't, though.
Election coverage sure made it seem like a sporting event.

And of course, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/08/china-approves-trump-trademarks-businesses
Yes, a pox on both their houses. That doesn't really absolve Donald Trump though, does it, & his ties with Russia are far closer, it seems.

Right. Through the election.
But no one worth listening to is saying "Hey, if we can prove Trump is aligned with Russia then Clinton will be President!" is my point.

This image is literally about the election
You're safe now, China and the Saudis have lost a lot of control here now that Clinton and pals are out of power.
Yes, now we can embrace Mother Russia. *Eyeroll*

Much like the children that used to be dependent on Medicaid.
InkedGuru
lawideas
I think you meant ACA, but that's okay. It's not important to be accurate as long as you're enjoying your liberal circlejerk.
The ACA raised the Medicaid level so people who weren't poor enough could get help to buy insurance most republican states didn't allow it
it reimbursed extra medicaid during a window, then ended it to leave the states to make up the difference-unfunded mandate
Dinodude65
Um.. Trump didn't cut Medicaid?
StephiesJets0020
Thank you. It's up to the states.
dukenukemforpresident

S use me, Trumps budget has $880 BILLION in Medicaid cuts. Google it.

Maybe people should stop having kids if they can't afford to fund their health... now awaiting the wave of angry, logic hating downvotes.
sevenlayersofhelldip
What good does this viewpoint do for the millions of poor kids alive who had no say in the families they were born into?
Admittedly, very little. However, it does give us a good reason to not make future risks.
True, but policy has to be made to protect and serve citizenry that's already alive.
I hate to say it, but sometimes it is necessary to take losses in order to cull an unstable dependency.
notgoodathockey
I only downvoted because of the dick comment at the end
Well, at least I'm good at hockey. So I've got that going for me.
Elchja
You realize some people/family become poor AFTER they have children. Sustainable income is not garunteed.
I'm willing to put money on the idea that this isn't the majority case.
Mushroombadger
I'm not really entirely sure how the American system works but why would you just not insure your children?
Deaderestpool
Medicaid is given to children who's parents can't afford insurance
iAmNotArobotUsually
I tworks like this: Big Gov (loved by the left) and Big Med (loved by the right, and left) conspire to loot all your cash.
Kids covered under medicaid are low income.I insure my child through my work insurance (runs about 500/mo for her)
Counterfit
I hope you have a low deductible at that price.
Only 13.5k. Total bill is about 840/mo for the three of us.
That's double my deductible, and more than triple my premium. =O
How much do you earn? Someone earning £40k in the UK (av income for UK family) 2013ish would only pay £1800 in taxes for the NHS
I see. Have they given any statement as to what people like that should do or is their stance just "tough titty"?
DarthVadersBigBluePenguin
Stop being poor...

"what about the children" is sophist bullshit. poor kids are covered
So all these other people are lying about the ACA?

marsgoose
I'm an asshole for thinking that if you financially support a behavior people will be more likely to exhibit it?
The health insurance is one thing but in general you shouldn't be having kids if you can't provide for them. That's just common sense.

And in the process gave undecided people a reason not to vote for Hillary or the media
HighPriestOfCera
False equivalence is how we got here. Trump did more dumb shit than HRC so the media covered his moronic exploits more.
Nah, they tunneled on superficial "deficiencies" more. Which is the main reason he won. That and people sick of status quo
stillers2000
no no, he said they're only rigged if he lost!
Stratego89
Quite literally he said "If I lose this election, it was rigged". Which he knew for sure, because Russia rigged it.
stoploggingmeoutImgurIfuckingswear
he still believes they are rigged so nope
In Colorado (IIRC) he just had the state handed to him and he pointed out that none of his followers cared no one got a chance.
ErinFromTheOffice
No, he said they were rigged, hard stop. But he'd accept the results if he won. He still says they were rigged because he lost popular vote
Shamorza
To say that I'm gonna accept the results ONLY if I win is extremely paradoxical. A rigged election cannot produce ANY legitimate winner.
smashpro1
He says that he won the popular vote if you don't count the millions of illegal votes (that there is zero evidence of).
No. He said "If I lose this election, it was rigged.". Direct quote from his departure from a rally (I believe in Texas).
