Also, it's not the entire country that's refusing to comply, though an impressive forty-four states and the District. It does look, though, like the widespread noncooperation is a major blow to Trump. Every little bit helps, especially in this case where the resistance is bipartisan and based firmly on a legal foundation.<br /><br />A quote from the WaPo article:<br /><em>“Is it a black eye for Trump? Yes, with most of America,” Stipanovich said. “But with 35 percent of America, it is another element in the vast conspiracy to subvert America and destroy the republic. … It won’t hurt Trump with those with whom he can’t be hurt.”</em>Catreonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959115298646880631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-45851355606552120252017-07-05T21:55:41.556-04:002017-07-05T21:55:41.556-04:00Young white males?

No, sorry, they're the one's who are and always have been delusional.<br /><br />I wouldn't trust in anything breaking through their delusions. They are far too invested in them and reality be damned. Unfortunately, every day they cling to the way they think things ought to be, Trump is cutting a broader and deeper swath, that will be harder and harder to repair.<br /><br />I wouldn't give a fetted dingo's kidney if the Democratic Party self-destructed through their own navel gazing, if they weren't taking the country down with them.Catreonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959115298646880631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-23935541238351141172017-07-05T21:36:35.187-04:002017-07-05T21:36:35.187-04:00http://addictinginfo.com/2017/07/05/every-state-in...<a href="http://addictinginfo.com/2017/07/05/every-state-in-america-just-turned-on-trump-this-is-a-major-fck-you-to-potus-details/" rel="nofollow">http://addictinginfo.com/2017/07/05/every-state-in-america-just-turned-on-trump-this-is-a-major-fck-you-to-potus-details/</a><br /><br />From the article:<br /><br />"From day one of Donald Trump’s failure of a presidency, it was perfectly clear that the former reality television star thought he was a king and expected America to roll over and do whatever the hell he wanted. Unfortunately for the unworthy POTUS, his presidency is panning out a lot differently than he imagined, and he’s just been sent another great big ‘f*ck you’ by the United States.<br /><br />Trump’s voter fraud conspiracy has just been dealt a major blow and suffered a humiliating defeat, as every single state in America is refusing to give up the voter data that Trump is demanding."Susan Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051952439640530956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-46258785488051604992017-07-05T16:17:58.852-04:002017-07-05T16:17:58.852-04:00Well, the threat of extinction might concentrate t...Well, the threat of extinction might concentrate their attention wonderfully.
