See- there's something I didn't know, but I didn't automatically assume Trump was making it up on the spot like I should have. But then, if I was the president of the United States and was about to announce to the world that maybe we should revoke their 'license,' I might have used one of the infinite tools at his disposal (at least Google) to check real quick.
once again his babysitters were asleep at the wheel.
But as disturbing as Trump’s authoritarian impulses are, we may be protected from the worst abuses he would like to carry out, both by our democratic institutions and by Trump’s own stupidity, ignorance, and incompetence. Yes, his desire to be a dictator is horrifying, but it would be far worse if he were not such a bumbling fool.
Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Huh? You gotta be f'ing kidding me. That's about as likely as you being made Pope.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
I think someone should have to pass a basic civics exam in order to vote, but I'm an elitist like that.
I'd make them pass a basic civics test, a basic econ test, some basic geography and basic foreign policy, as well as military history.
For POTUS, it would also be nice if POTUS could do at least entry level calculus. A pscyh eval and physical would also be a good idea, and maybe we could disqualify anybody who has ever filed a personal bankruptcy.

I did. In a choice between Trump and Hillary, both of whom were equally terrible choices, I voted for trump because there existed a slight possibility that he might accidentally make a good Supreme Court nomination. There was zero chance of Hillary doing so (from my perspective). Plus, living in MO, trump taking the state was part of a strategy that would have had to fall in place for a 3rd party (McMullin/Johnson) to have a shot in the extreme unlikelihood of an electoral college deadlock.

Ah yes. The Supreme Court bogeyman.
