    It means, "false in one thing, false in everything” it also means your table is not worth the bandwidth.

    Don't be ridiculous. I know what it means! I've used it many times on this forum. You need to worry more about understanding English than Latin. Seeing how you struggle understanding my post.

    Funny how the Trump cult is just like Trump. This is like when your idol says things like "few people know this, but Lincoln was a Republican". Or "nobody knew that healthcare was so complicated"...

    Is Trump a president of the USA?

    NA... it’s Hillary. Trump could never become a president.

    Or, be re-elected. Right?

    Right. He's just a stooge who is currently in the White House because of a legal technicality.

    What's going on? I'm telling you! Two Republicans in a row telling the truth!

    Is this when all hell freezes over?

    Yes. As I said: because of a legal technicality. Not because of the will of the people.

    Don't despair. Legal technicalities are still legal. Their just not like.... winning the presidency with more than 50% of the vote, or something like that, like other Presidents have. This "feels" more like a real mandate than a technicality.

    The founders specifically rejected a plebiscite for the president. So the system worked exactly as intended.

    The system definitely didn't work as intended. But for other reasons. What does that have to do with it being a technicality?

    The system certainly worked as intended. The states appointed electors and the electors chose the president.

    It's not a technicality. It's the constitutionally prescribed process.

    I'm not saying it's not the constitutionally prescribed process. But it's not the will of the majority of the people. Therefore it's a technicality.

    Why do you think that the president should be chosen by a majority of the people when the constitution stipulates an entirely different process?

    All this time and you still haven't processed the concept that a few infected states is not the voice of a NATION.. Clearly, you sir, are condemned to a life of heart ache :(
