As someone who regularly post in Hellhole, is a member of both GameFAQs subreddits, reads Tails stupid blog and warned threads... let me just say... concern trolling is not a major problem on this site. It's pretty tough to get anyone to actually give a shit about your problem when you've been modded. Almost no one is going to bother fake-caring about rule violations. The level of apathy is so high about other people's moderations that it's absurd to think a bunch of people are flooding in to fake-care about them.

That's not what this topic is related to though

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/trump-budget-deal-congress-cut-medicaid-spending-puerto-rico-deal-2019-12-1028772934

President Trump personally jumped in during budget negotiations to cut the amount of Medicaid funding for Puerto Rico, according to a Politico report.

Congressional negotiators unveiled an budget deal earlier this week allocating $5.7 billion over two years to fund public health insurance on the island, instead of $12 billion over four years. There had been a previous bipartisan agreement on the increased figures that would cover 1.4 million low-income Puerto Ricans almost half its population.

But three sources told the outlet that Trump didn't back the deal because he believed it was too much and pushed to reduce the total amount. Lawmakers then revised the provision and whittled it down to two years with less money.

A White House spokesperson characterized the cut to Politico as "a win for President Trump and the American people" even though Puerto Ricans are US citizens as well.

Trump has fixated on Puerto Rico throughout his presidency, calling it "one of the most corrupt places on Earth" and attacking officials there as "incompetent."

The island has been mired in recession for over a decade and its Medicaid program has confronted drastic cuts as the Puerto Rican government sought ways to pay back its $70 billion debt, NPR reported.

Puerto Rico's dire financial situation worsened after Hurricane Maria struck in 2017, devastating large swaths of the island and prompting government officials to criticize Trump's handling of the situation.

The federal government treats Puerto Rico's Medicaid program differently because its considered a territory and not a state. It receives a fixed grant instead of open-ended federal funding, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.

The spending package, though, would provide additional stability to the embattled program in the short-run, though negotiations for additional funding have to be jumpstarted again in three years.

During fiscal year 2019, Puerto Rico received $367 million in its capped grant, leaving it to make up the shortfall when it was projected to spend $2.8 billion.

I submitted a closure form while suspended and the reviewing admin said "this is abuse of the form because you can't close an account that is suspended or in purgatory" or something to that effect. It was worded rather rudely but I did not get into any trouble for the alleged "abuse of the form." My account just remained in the state it was in and was restored after the purg ended and I did not fill out the form again because by then I no longer wanted to close it.

Lmao yeah this is the funniest shit

FEEDBACK STATUS: BAD FORM
You used a message form for a purpose unrelated to that form's purpose. Because of this, you will not be able to create any additional feedback tickets for one week.

Yes using the "Close My Account" form in an attempt to close my account is "unrelated to its purpose".

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who was convicted of numerous federal crimes last year, has been in the hospital due to a cardiac incident, his lawyer said on Tuesday.

Manafort, 70, has been recovering at a Pennsylvania hospital since last Thursday under the supervision of correctional officers, ABC News reported earlier on Tuesday.

Todd Blanche, Manaforts lawyer, confirmed that he had been hospitalized but did not provide further details.

Citing sources, ABC News said Manafort is stable and could be released from the hospital soon.

Manafort worked for U.S. President Donald Trumps White House campaign for five months until August 2016, including a stint as chairman.

He is currently serving a 7-1/2-year sentence in a federal correctional facility in Pennsylvania for tax fraud, bank fraud and other charges stemming from Special Counsel Robert Muellers probe into Russias meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

The Senate overwhelmingly voted yes for that bill and Trump is here going like "lets be nice to Turkey". Meanwhile Erdogan partnered with Russia to clean house in Syria by eliminating the Kurds from their land, and also then threatened to stop sponsoring our Air Force bases there.

Crazy theory: The Senate finally allowed it to pass (after the GOP blocked it earlier) because they knew Trump would veto it (either actually or through a pocket veto), and they have no intention of overriding his veto on it.

Yeah, hadnt heard about that. What is the story there?

https://spectator.us/seven-whistleblowers-jared-kushner-bin-salman/

So this article showed up in The Spectator in early November with claims that there were like 7 Whistleblowers and that one of them actually had nothing to do with the Ukraine shitfest but rather was related to calls between Trump and Saudi Arabia. It goes on to mention this:

According to Cockburns source about the seven whistleblowers, theres more. It is that Kushner (allegedly) gave the green light to MBS to arrest the dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was later murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. A second source tells Cockburn that this is true and adds a crucial twist to the story. This source claims that Turkish intelligence obtained an intercept of the call between Kushner and MBS. And President Erdogan used it to get Trump to roll over and pull American troops out of northern Syria before the Turks invaded

Now I don't think anything else has come out in support of this, but I do think the speed at which the White House latched on to this and immediately started denying it is a little suspect.

Really what this comes down to is two things:

1) Trump is really, really desperate for the cash having his name on two towers in Turkey is bringing in. And I say "really, really" because it's supposedly less than $1M/year.

2) Turkey really did intercept a call between Kushner and Saudi Arabia that involved Kushner giving the go-ahead to SA to kidnap Khashoggi and they're sitting on the audio and using it to blackmail Trump. Given all the kowtowing to Turkey this remains the most likely reason.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-armenian-genocide-erdogan-turkey-native-americans-a9250281.html

Donald Trump's administration has rejected a US Senate resolution recognising the Armenian genocide, just a day after Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to recognise the killing of Native Americans in retaliation.

The Senate measure was rejected by the State Department on Tuesday, with a spokesperson for the department indicating that US position on the matter did not change.

"The position of the Administration has not changed," said spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, in a statement to the Hill. "Our views are reflected in the President's definitive statement on the issue from last April."

The US Senate had passed a resolution unanimously last week to recognise the Armenian genocide as a matter of foreign policy, in a rare showing of bipartisanship on a deeply divisive issue and in spite of the Trump administration's objections. It marked the first time that the US Congress had formally designated the 1915 killings of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire as a genocide.

"To overlook human suffering is not who we are as a people," said senator Robert Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey who co-sponsored the legislation alongside Texas Republican senator Ted Cruz, during an emotional speech moments before the legislation was passed. "It is not what we stand for as a nation. We are better than that, and our foreign policy should always reflect this."

The Senate vote came after the House approved the measure last month, with a vote that came while Mr Trump and Mr Erdogan were meeting in the Oval Office.

Following the Senate vote last week, Mr Erdogan threatened to recognise the killing of Native Americans by European settlers in America, as they moved across the country and displaced and killed entire populations.

"We should oppose [the US] by reciprocating such decisions in parliament. And that is what we will do," Mr Erdogan said during an interview on the pro-government A Haber news channel.

"Can we speak about America without mentioning [Native Americans]? It is a shameful moment in US history," he continued.

In its statement, the State Department pointed to Mr Trump's 24 April comments, which fell on the Global Armenian Remembrance Day. During his statement, Mr Trump recognised that over a million and a half Armenians were "deported, massacred or marched to their deaths" under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

He did not describe the events as genocide. While former president Barack Obama described the events as a genocide as a candidate in 2008, his administration later assured the Turkish government that it did not support a resolution recognising the killings as a genocide.

Trump is a fucking worthless piece of trash human.

What's even worse is that some of these people probably tried to vote, but couldn't. They closed down most of the centers in predominately black areas. and ensured the voting machines were working poorly to slow down the process. There were hundreds of people in line all day, all the way up to when voting closed. Anyone that didn't get a chance because they were in line too long, or had to leave early to go to work, could now be dropped from the registry due to this corrupt law.

Hmm let's put that to the test. If the popular vote won elections instead of the electoral college we'd have had...

Andrew Jackson over John Quincy Adams in 1824. Jackson went on to be president anyway, so we can be less heavy on the hypothetical here. JQA had a pretty uneventful presidency because he got blocked by Congress. Jackson I think did more harm than good. Despite having some good anti-corruption principles, he was horribly racist (even for his time) and his bank war lead to a recession. Funny bit of trivia is that Jackson actually wanted the college to be abolished, haha. John Quincy Adams wins

Samuel J. Tilden over Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876. Hayes was a solid president. Got us through an economic panic and railroad strike. Had morals. I don't know too much about Tilden to be honest but Hayes wasn't bad. Rutherford B. Hayes wins

Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland in 1888. Again, Cleveland went onto become president anyway. Harrison is kind of underrated. Nobody really talks about him anymore, but he had some landmark policies like Sherman Antitrust. Not a big fan of Cleveland. He had a forgetful first term and his second term was marred by questionable economics. Might be an unpopular opinion, but Benjamin Harrison wins.

Al Gore over George W. Bush in 2000. That's some kind of time skip. I'll stop short of saying that Bush was Bush and Gore would've been better by default. I try not to be too harsh on Dubya, because I mean, you put yourself in the boots of President during 9/11 and think of how tough that must be. Still, you watch Gore's interviews about the early 2000s and I think he had by far the more rational response. This is an easy one. Al Gore wins.

Hillary Cliton over Donald Trump in 2016. Uggh. I don't like Hillary. But I don't know. She's bought out by corporations, she's disingenuous...I think she'd have been a weak president, but I think we're really gonna be feeling the damage Trump has done in 2024. Hillary Clinton wins.

Overall it's 3-2 in favor of abolishing the electoral college in my book, but you're right that a popular vote won't always produce good candidates.

You gotta think of the ripple effect as well. For example, no Bush means no Cheney, no Rumsfeld, etc.
