Until now, the Trump playbook didn't include the full power of the executive branch of the United States.

And he said no, I want to thank your viewers, thank your listeners for standing up for this republic, we know what you did early on, throughout this campaign, standing up for what’s right.”

Jones has floated outlandish theories in the past — in the video announcing Trump’s call, he says of Democrats “they stole five states on Nov. 8 but still lost, and this whole criminal multinational enterprise that has hijacked a nation, ladies and gentlemen, is now coming down” — and has been a fairly steadfast Trump supporter, regularly interviewing longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone on his shows.

“We finally have people in Washington who actually listen to the people and don’t buy the propaganda of the big main-line corporations that are using weaponized media to mind-control simple-minded people,” Jones said in the video announcing that Trump had called him.

if Democrats stole 5 states why didn't they just steal a few more and win?

“It’s a great form of communication. Now do I say I’ll give it up entirely?” he told Stahl. “I’m not saying I love it, but it does get the word out. When you give me a bad story or when you give me an inaccurate story or when somebody other than you and another -- a network, or whatever, ‘cause of course, CBS would never do a thing like that right? I have a method of fighting back.”

but just think, we're something like 60k people changing their minds in MI/WI/PA from a female democratic president, and pickups in both the senate and the house. 1.5ish million more people will have voted for hillary clinton. out of 129 million votes cast, one eagles stadium full of people switching their minds changes the entire narrative.

its gut wrenching that what might almost be statistical noise turned everything wrong but there is some reason to be hopeful.

No. It's not over. Effect local change. Get on the school board if you want to make sure your kids don't get fed that crap. Volunteer in 2017 for local elections and 2018 for national ones. Give money to organizations that do good. And take a deep breathe; remember, we have Embiid.
