Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Right? She only ever wanted to be a Russian asset that helped Trump win. How dare they!?
She just wants to make her daddy Putin proud.
This really is quite pathetic when you think about it. The primary duty of a political party is to get their candidate on the ballot in all 50 states. Fuckery in Nevada aside, the Green Party has only managed to get Stein on the ballot in 38 states. Like, it'd be one thing if they managed to get her on the ballot in all 49 other states and just got screwed in NV, but they completely failed to do their job in 11 other states besides Nevada. And when it comes down to it, the problem in NV is that they filed incorrect paperwork. Any organization that was on the ball would be triple checking everything to make sure that their primary job (get the candidate on the ballot) was done right.
Shit like this is why I can never take the Green party seriously. How do you expect to win the presidency if the residents from a quarter of the states in the Union don't even have an option to vote for you? And if the party can't even get their primary job done correctly, how can they even expect to attract good candidates?

On the plus side, I now know about a Scout's cruise control.
He’s such a class act.
Womp womp.
Trump’s own Jay Sekulow that is representing them.
Suddenly I understand why they lost. They should have gone with a legal team that actually knows what it is doing if they wanted to win the suit instead of winning publicity.
