And you would be right, it seems.

Ssshh he just gone international

I was listening to the BBC the other day and there was a report, well more of a post mortem really, about an incident where the Americans and their allies Britain, Australia, and whoever, were bombing the wrong dudes.

Apparently there is a 'hot line' allowing quick communication between the Russians and the Yanks so as to avoid potentially fatal mid air confusion. The hot line proved to be only luke warm as the bombing continued for the best part of half an hour after the call advising of the fuck up was made.

I didn't fact check this but if it is even close to true it is very interesting.

There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don't, and SHOULDN'T speak for the rest of the country.

That's why there is an Electoral vote process, go back and educate yourselves,...OH, maybe you didn't finish high school. Too busy smoking pot and shopping for Birkenstock's???

Obviously that claim is bullshit, use your fucking brain.

If you would like to discuss the fact checking of jasonu's post, you could start with snopes...

Isn't Trump both from and based in New York, Odd he seems to have little home town support? Jason.
Clinton was a senator for New York but was born and raised elsewhere?

Take it easy sista. I never said it was true or otherwise. I don't have the time or interest in digging into it. All I said was it is interesting if actually true. Maybe try reading a bit slower before you reply so as not to embarrass yourself...

Maybe try fact checking your bullshit, so as not to embarrass yourself. And perhaps you should read bit slower, since I didn't say that you thought it was true; just that perpetuating bullshit without bothering to fact check it is what is wrong with voters these days.
