We actually watched Saturday Night Live the other night, and during the fake news segment, they introduced the new appointment for head of DEA as a high school chemistry techer, a Walter White. We wish him well. Perhaps that was the video?

It was the Cold Open, but yeah.

Walter White was the teacher turned meth king-pin that was the lead of Breaking Bad.

I just bought Breaking Bad, the complete series, at the HMV on Hong Kong Island, about an hour ago.

Bloody expensive, over $1,000 for a DVD set. And the HMV relocated, it took me a while to find it.

$1,000? What kind of dollars? Is that like, $128.93US? Yeah, that's a bit pricey.

From the article:

The appointment of the former drug kingpin is far from a done deal, however, as associates of El Chapo report that he is “concerned” that being a member of the Trump Administration would be bad for his brand.

So from what I understand, the number of faithless electors was far lower than what was needed, so he will not be unpresidented.

Yup. And there were more democratic faithless electors than republiKKKan anyway. Sad.

And yes, I see what you did there.

Yes, I don't quite get that one. Every single one of the democratic electors could have voted for someone else, if the republicans don't break ranks also, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

I guess for the democratic electors, the possibilities are (i) making a futile gesture by voting for someone else, or (ii) trying to control who is eligible in the House of Representatives vote if enough republican electors did follow.

Yeah, I think it's (i), form what those who spoke about it said...

I still have a gut feeling that DJT won't ever get sworn in, but that and $5 will get me a cup of coffee, right?

If that would leave Obama in office, you can get 10:1 odds on that:

Do I read that correctly as he's favored to serve one full term and not be reelected?

I wouldn't rule out impeachment either. There are still a lot of Republicans in congress that don't like him too much. And that whole Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania Ave. in DC has him in violation of a clause in the Constitution the moment he is sworn in.

Dont' bet on it. If he has proved one thing, it is resilience against bad press and a hostile party establishment. Keep the upper lip stiff, Dems, and try to win some elections for a change.
