Would the right accept it? Well the right has to impeach/kick him out via a vote, so that one already kind of answers itself. Would there be riots and such? Probably protests, but riots? I doubt it. If there is evidence that proves it without a shadow of a doubt, there isn't much they can do aside from conspiracy theories. What would US do to Russia? Manipulating elections is srs bzns.
Probably push for more sanctions/kick their diplomats back out and have an even more frosty relation than before.

Gerrymandering can be a national problem as the supreme court is about to take a case up on it.
It's irrelevant to the outcome of presidential elections.
In what way?
I'm not aware of any states off the top of my head that don't select who to throw their electoral votes at by popular vote.
Yeah this. Popular vote in the states is a thing. It gets weird when it's congressional elections.

Something more reasonable though. Separate busy pedestrian streets from the road with those anti-vehicle poles or large concrete plant things. On mobile cant post pics, but you guys know what I'm talking about.
Should we ban cars too?
Its not a solution, but at least no more cars running over people.
If I wanted a place with no cars, I'd live in Soviet Russia or North Korea. Fuck off with that. Getting rid of that is the literal definition of the terrorists winning.

Gerrymandering is a congressional or state government problem. I'm not aware of any states off the top of my head that don't select who to throw their electoral votes at by popular vote.
Also, your first paragraph was you explaining why faithless electors are the reason after saying it wasn't the only reason.
Gerrymandering can be a national problem as the supreme court is about to take a case up on it. As for the state thing, yeah it'd have to be done by research, and my paragraph was me just elaborating on what we were talking about for clarity. Both for myself and any who might be curious. It sounded like you knew what I was going to refer to. And yeah, gerrymandering will always have some partisan issues, you can't escape that, but what I was saying is self gerrymandering is really just making it harder for people to draw districts in general, even if they're not trying to be sneaky about it. Liberals moving around to live with more liberals, conservatives with more conservatives, etc. And libertarians in their little angry rooms thinking they'll someday be relevant as they worship their pictures of Ron/Rand Paul.

electoral college working as intended
It's actually not. Fundamentally states have made it so the electoral college is null and void in its original purpose. The Founding Fathers intention of it didn't last too long.
If you think the electors being able to vote faithlessly was the only reasoning behind the EC you're wrong.
That's A reason yes, but that isn't the only reason. At the root of it, the Founding Fathers didn't trust the common citizens to keep up to date with every single thing politically, which is honestly reasonable, since it is not the field they work in. So to counteract this they would have electors who DO specialize in government related things, who always are working in government, and are, in theory, able to see who would be best for the position. It was about as elite as you could get, because they feared what Democracies inevitably fall into sooner or later, and that is mob rule. This was their answer to it. But most states have a penalty for voting against what the people vote, called a faithless elector. Some states it is a felony, others a fine, and some just a piece of writing that says they "strongly advise" you go with what the people vote. It's a concept that is genius in idea, but in no way can work out (LIKE COMMUNISM :DDDDD). Having these penalties directly goes against what the Founding Fathers intended. That's just one of the issues with it (among many). The other big one is self gerrymandering that is clearly showing issues in today's country with voting districts, and the electoral college will not adapt to that, so we will potentially keep seeing skewed results like this last election/Bush v Gore. Though that one has no real data to confirm yet, that's more so a theory.

designated break times 
man that's funny shit if I've ever heard it
I don't think I've ever had a foodservice job with a breaktime.
It's slave work.
Breaks are for retail and office jobs.
Man I'm glad I never worked in the food industry. I hear so much bad crap about it.

>purposely picking meme answers and still getting outdone by PSU
I'm still way too left. Guess I'm becoming more compassionate
It's not that black and white, moron.
You're right. Liberals like to think they are compassionate when in fact they are actually hurting the people they believe they are helping. Moron.
Mmk pal.

Why are some people getting "might vs. peace" over "nation vs. world" and "equality vs. market" instead of "equality vs wealth"? Those seem like very different implications.
I just assumed people were posting results they got months ago that came from an earlier version of the test but idk.
Yeah, this.
i guess that means i should retake it
ugh me too fuk

Stats on the relic. Mine is full Crit/Determination with a little accuracy.
I kind of miss my characters old hair, but it hid the headband whereas this one shows it off better.
Stats? All 270 in terms of gear. I'm all maxed out and got the expensive mount I wanted. So I have everything done, really.

Also, I love that they finally added Sice's hair style to the game, I've been waiting the entire expansion for hers in particular.
That's a good looking kitty cat. She literally looks like she's from Fire Emblem Fates on Hoshido with that color matching. That's a good thing.

Cool, what stats did you do?
Also I'm leveling a character on Famfrit while I wait for Stormblood.

What did he mean by this?
He's an extremist sympathizer, that's what it means

I apologize for not realizing that terrorist attacks are just a common phenomenon in big cities and have to get used to them

Mr Trump responded by challenging Mr Khan to an IQ test, and said he was offended by Mr Khan, adding: "He doesn't know me, never met me... I will remember those statements."
What an idiot

I mean sure, but you apply statistics and some logical deduction.
Same way I can say that you are reading this through Chrome and have an Android phone too.
That's not at all the same in these two cases

Why is UKIP not the one leading Britain?
Because they're led by a colossal retard.
I thought Nigel Farage was the smartest European politician.
Stay in Finland and worry about Russia, champ.

you can thank Trump for ruining the populist first wave in Europe.
How do you figure.
Lot of people in Europe looked at the chaos in the US after a populist won and were rattled by all the shit going down. Even Macron's campaign combined La Pen and Trump and had the slogan "Don't get Trumped"  It ended up hurting her in the end. Everyone was talking about Trump in one way or another, and it was suddenly a liability, not an advantage. Even in the Dutch elections with Geert Wilders ripping his slogan direction from Trump "Let's Make the Netherlands Ours Again" was hoping the populist wave would capture his people. It didn't. Europeans aren't too keen on someone saying the media is the enemy of the people, along with other dictator tier rhetoric Trump has spewed in office. That's not to say populism or its movement is dead, it's not. Far from it. In fact they do raise some valid points. But as of right now it's sort of died down from what we've seen unless we see something shocking come the German elections.
