xxxxpost My election anxiety eased considerably about ten minutes into the first debate and is pretty much completely gone at this point.

“It's got nothing to do with that. It's such a little thing. I've been assaulted myself; it's such a little thing.”

“So what matters to you?”

“I'd like to get water. We have no water. You should see my yard. It's dirt. I can't water my yard.”

this lady has unrealistic demands from a presidential candidate

My election anxiety has been replaced by an "Armed Psychos are Convinced the Election is Rigged" anxiety. It's (probably) irrational but it's there.

no see the reason she can't water her yard is because Dianne Feinstein personally gave all her water to some endangered fish

Where are the other October surprises we were promised? Bo-o-o-o-ring.

Keillor spins comforting fantasies about decent and warm-hearted Midwesterners who all smell like freshly-baked bread and have odd little foibles we can chuckle over, like shooting their molesters in the gut. He's like a talking plateful of comfort food. In trying times like these, this almost constitutes a public service.

Trump IS the October surprise.

"The surprise was you ALL along!"

the real October surprise was the friendship we found along the way

I know the answer is "desperation," but why would he introduce term limits now? No doubt he will try to make that a thing Wednesday. "Crooked Hillary, sign this pledge to make Congress illegal!"

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 20:39 (seven years ago) link

Like, if only it were that easy.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 20:40 (seven years ago) link

And yet people saying he has no detailed policy proposals. Sad!

"I asked if Bill Clinton's sexual scandals bothered her. “Yes, but not because he did it. Because he did it to his wife in such a public way.”

This got her talking, not about Trump’s wives and how they must have felt, watching their husband go out on TV and treat his marriages like a drunken game of mini-golf, but about the Clintons. “I don't trust either one of ’em as far as I can throw ’em. They're criminals. Going back to when they had their best friend killed. Supposedly he got ‘mugged’ in a park. I don't believe that. Liars.

“I don't trust them at all. And I do trust The Donald,” she said, and she meant it. “I trust him to make appropriate business decisions. Our country is in serious trouble. And I'm just so sick of political correctness. I realize it's a sign of the times, but ... I'm hoping for a little last hurrah for America before we have to go through what's coming.”"

I kinda wanna ask these lock her up people if they think Hillary's 100 emails that she undeniably mishandled are worse than the 8 folders of confidential information that Petraeus knowingly shared with someone he was fucking (who later copied 300 documents from it) and lied to investigators.

cos y'know....he didn't get locked up, just $100,000 fine and 2 years proby.

I didn't even have to think of Trump's rape

Where is the defense of Wikileaks from all the pundits who've speculated that Trump would try to silence critical journalism? 🤔

Omg, Obama's half brother! They should cancel the debate now.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 22:28 (seven years ago) link

Hillary should bring Trump's worthless whole children.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 22:29 (seven years ago) link

Every one of them entirely white, no less.

So I assume the half brother means some serious shit for breitbart aficionados only?

carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Tuesday, 18 October 2016 22:33 (seven years ago) link

Bringing Mark Cuban was one thing, but Trump's response and choices for special guest stars is some far more incoherent petty shit below what a Game of Thrones character would even do

(rocketcat) 🚀🐱 👑🐟 (kingfish), Tuesday, 18 October 2016 22:37 (seven years ago) link

should also bring roger clinton and what's left of billy carter imo

Just that he's a Trump supporter. He may have claimed the Obama actually was born in Kenya too (which still doesn't mean a damn thing since his mother was an American citizen).

then there's this

LAS VEGAS — A wall is going up outside the Trump International Las Vegas hotel Wednesday morning.

The Culinary Union, long a Donald Trump antagonist in Las Vegas, is going to "build" a wall of taco trucks outside Trump's hotel, just a couple miles from UNLV, site of the final presidential debate.

The groups aim to have at least five taco trucks outside the hotel, in addition to a banner in the style of a wall that participants will be able to sign.

Whatever happened to the Republican Party I grew up with, that won elections by emasculating and brutally smearing their opponents? Now they want to win by dredging up minor improprieties to try and get their opponent disqualified.

It's like "1-2-3-4, you incorrectly filled out Form B-4"

they should just go for an all out prank war. trump should replace hillary's water glass with a trick glass that will cause it to spill. hillary should fill trump's glass with poison.
