I honestly don't even think a golden shower vid would make a big difference. Access Hollywood did fuck all.

correct

not with his base anyway

I'm amazed at how often the vote is so near 50/50. So perfectly divided!! How did that happen?

google "yancey simmonds virginia" for a look at the craziest electoral rollercoaster of late

Its our system of checks and balances in action!

tesla, I believe you are pro-Trump. Are you surprised/disappointed that this is a nail biter?

Pence would do all sorts of shitty things, but he'd do it legally. He actually has respect for basic democratic institutions.

Whack-job right-winger vs. authoritarian wannabe. I'll take the whack job. Sucks, but that's where we're at.



Sitting out the midterms? Pussy.

Anyway, 2020 is the Dem's to lose. They probably will. So pack Congress and the states with good people while you can.

Lamb claims victory, GOP not conceding, according to what I'm reading this am.

Even if Lamb ends up losing somehow, it feels like a win. Y'know?

Anything can happen before November. I try to bear that in mind. But I'm pretty sure the 2018 bloodbath has begun.

I think Penice would be much worse than Trump. He has all of the same bad policy positions, then adds religious intolerance and extreme xenophobia to the repulsive mix.

ebola has a point about the destruction of fundamental institutions though. a benevolent tyrant is still a tyrant

Jeez, she's VILE! What a horrible choice. Should be under threat of arrest by Interpol

so lamb won in pa but saccone refuses to concede last i read

looks like the shit will be ongoing

I read that and I think "She's right." Does that make me a bad person? Where is she wrong?

I thought the article took some liberties with conclusions about what she said. I'll do more reading. Of course I don't think Hilary Clinton is perfect, but I've never understood the amount of hate she gets.

Who here thinks Mueller waited til the Ides of March on purpose?

How many times do I have to say it: I'M NOT A US CITIZEN.

According to republicans, you're still able to, but shouldn't be able to.

It is happening, actually- I thought this assertion was biblebelterbabble but its april fools day every day now.

"the City Council in College Park approved the measure to allow undocumented immigrants, student visa holders and residents with green cards to vote in local elections,"

however

Voting rights granted to noncitizens in Takoma Park and San Francisco "are limited to local office, not a blanket right to vote for all governmental offices," said Lorraine Minnite, a political science professor at Rutgers University who wrote The Myth of Voter Fraud.

Local matters.

I have a strange feeling that McCabe will get his revenge.

Julie Christie AND a great soundtrack!

lol spoiler alert great sad ending in the snow

but here’s the thing: trump will go on endlessly because he’s the last antichrist and therefore invincible by earth powers

his tentacles are deep in tesla’s brain, sucking. or maybe he’s getting sucked by tesla. 69.

the trumpet the trumpet the trumpet etc

when you see the mushroom cloud, hide under your desk

I'm sick. SICK I tell you. Why am I looking at the early parts of this thread? What am I getting from this exercise? I'm still trying to come to terms with how in the fuck Trump became POTUS. How did we go from there to here? Everyday I turn on the news and just fucking groan.

God help me.

Pro tip for a longer life in 2018, stop turning on the news.

The ostrich with his head in the sand isn't well aware of the lion sneaking up on him....

Turn on the news, keep working for change. (it works!)

skuj: this was the closest early prediction of them all.

was the worst prediction of them all, and quite late in the game

this one too

this one was just sheer blindness at that point

See....isn't this fun?

(I was "rather tired" on my previous post.)

I'm not saying ignore it completely, just don't subscribe to the constant, steady stream. Read in digests in short bursts. You'll be a lot less depressed throughout the day.

Yeah, I really don't do news for hours per day, but what I see is horrifying. But I have to take that ex-CIA guy's words as solace: "America will triumph over Trump".

You mean John Brennan, the the CIA Director who oversaw the CIA hacking of the Senate's computers and was reading senator's emails?

Who in 2008 couldn't be CIA Director because of his involvement with torture under Bush, but he was sanitized under Obama.

If you own a cell phone, you are participating and have no right to complain.

“I confess, my favorite type of bigot is the crying bigot.” :D :D :D

3 things:

1. I know you are a Trumpist. (I swear I'm not saying that condescendingly.)

2. I'm seriously going to look up the points that you have made, to see if they stand up to scrutiny. (Forgive me, but we are in the post-truth era.)

3. I've never owned a cell phone. (I know, right?)

I'm really not a "Trumpist", but it seems that if you don't agree with the "resistance", that is how you get labelled, because that mindset seems to be incapable of thinking beyond 1-2, on off, red blue. And this board has a problem with Russian agents, like the nameless one.

It is difficult to always express this through the internet, but just because I bring up an idea or piece of information doesn't mean I endorse it or support it necessarily - I am capable of thinking about an abstract idea without it consuming me. That seems to make you guilty in the eyes of the "resistance".

The whole fake news thing is a joke, the people screaming FAKE NEWS won't even acknowledge someone like Noam Chomsky or Alfred MCCoy-its not like the CIA stopped coordinating the media suddenly! the people screaming FAKE NEWS in many cases are those who have produced most of it, like the New York Times!

The "resistance" is screaming "fascist" but they use and pay for all the tools of the fascists and endorse the cashless, totalitarian society. They are fucking pod people. Their obsession with Amazon is destroying the country. Nevermind Amazon's preferential treatment and classified business from the Feds, which would be called fascism under any definition.

But what is really going on? In NY State, "liberal" Andrew Cuomo has put into a place a surveillance system so you are constantly being tracked moving around NY State. He wants to put a tracking system on the streets of Manhattan to toll us for going up and down our own city streets.

There's a lot to digest there. I need time. :)

Meanwhile, Dowd....McMaster......just another day in Trumpworld.

Remember that Flynn tweet that Dowd took credit for in an attempt to plug the leaky dam? He is either a) a fucking liar (which I believe) or b) completely incompetent for constructing such a tweet. Either way, it's bad.

Its amazing how sensitive Trump lovers are to abuse, the people who complain about "political correctness", they bleat and moan about being called names.

mcmaster out, bolton in
