NYT has an article out called "Electoral Map Gives Trump Few Places to Go"
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/31/us/politics/donald-trump-presidential-race.html
I was unable to access it because I have exceeded the number of articles I'm allowed to view as a non-payer. Anyhow, I thought I'd google the title to see where else it was printed and, amazingly, one of the hits was from freeperville!! My curiosity got the better of me and I went there. No article, essentially blank screen, except the following:

Her favorite unwitting animal reference was from an essay in which the student argued that Hester Prynne was "ostrich sized" by the community.

(22,837 posts)In 2004, after the repukes stole the election again, someone who was pretending to be a Dem on DU wrote something to the effect: Ha ha! I've been on DU for awhile and I've been a republican all the time. Bush won!! Ha ha on you guys!!
And people here, instead of reacting angrily, wrote things like: Wow, I'm really sorry for you having to get your kicks in such a way, and things along that line. As I recall, no one got angry.
Served the little snot nose right that he was cheated out of a huge negative reaction from us!!

(22,837 posts)freepers must be pretty distraught these days-- unless they're thinking their candidate is doing great (who knows how or what or whether they even think).
I do know they despise liberal proppaganda and that they can't spell.
