[Thrill]

3. How does a wacko like this bullshit their way to a northern Governorship

[mythology]

10. By a Democrat and an independent splitting 60% of the vote

He only got something like 38% in his first election.

5. They can take turns sending each other to jail.

6. If he wants

an authoritarian government lets send him over to Russia with Trumps buddy Putin. Make him stay for a couple of years and see if his opinion will have changed by then. We could do better and send him to North Korea. See how he likes that.

7. LePage can satisfy his need to be dominated with cash.

No judgment. Just leave the rest of us out of his submission fantasies.

8. Not one of them gives a shit about the Constitution

all they want is power.

If ReTHUGs gave a damn about the rule of law, Obama would have had a hearing for his judicial nominee.

Fuck the 'collective pack'.

11. remember "America Held Hostage" in 1980?

now we have the Supreme Court Held Hostage ... by the Republican Party

[malaise]

12. Don't forget 2000

when they stole it from Gore

[napkinz]

13. Hugh Hewitt was just on MSNBC arguing with Tweety about the stolen election of 2000

I can't stand Hugh Hewitt

[chelsea0011]

15. He was saying the media has rigged all the elections

He actually said 95% of the media will vote for HRC so they are only covering the Trump fall out stories. It was full blown paranoia, At least Matthews brought up the Suprmem Court handing over an election.

16. yes I saw thought

I want to see Hugh Hewitt's face only ONCE more in my life, and that's the evening of the election after it's announced that Hillary has been elected our next president.

[gratuitous]

9. Because swaggering, ignorant authoritarian power tripping worked out so well with Bush

We gotta get back to the days of torture, domestic spying, war crimes, crimes against humanity, mercenaries, and secret energy cabals. Good times, everyone. Good times.

19. toon ...

21. His comment doesn't make any sense

He thinks Obama has some crazy amount of power as president that no president has ever had. If Obama could do it alone, then why doesn't he just go put his nominee on the Supreme Court already because he really doesn't need approval from Congress to do anything, right? LePage complains about Obama supposedly going it alone, but he seems to favor the idea of Trump doing the same in order to bring back the "rule of law" or whatever. LePage and Trump talk about this country like it is the wild west or something but the only large group of crazy anarchists I see are the Trump supporters.

18. Because... fuck freedom!

20. WVOM is pretty much the only media LePage will talk to anymore

and that is a conservative talk radio station. He was probably on the George Hale/Rick Tyler Show. He feels right at home there.
