The nation may survive, but the wound to hope and order will never fully heal - US elections 2016: the october surprises

today i saw an IMPEACH CLINTON bumper sticker on the back of a van in the middle of a bunch of trump stickers. looked new, not torn or faded, so not left over from the late 90s i don't think. just getting a head start i guess.

GOP is a felch

a reminder (via the table is the table) that the Clintons are (also) human garbage

dear Mordy, fuck you and yours

Tell us what you did for Haitians.

what the fuck are you even referring to you super creep xp

You and your constant attempts at moral superiority remain on another planet where all people of every color and stripe live in the same cushioned bubble that you imagine yourself in. The difference in gravity has made you addled and your attempts to piss on everyone from those vaunted heights of righteousness continue to miss the mark by miles.

That may or may not be my last ever semi-unintentional Aimless impersonation.

Oh, good, Morbz is now dumb enough to buy into Sanders dead-ender Ha! Goodman's ProPublica-furnished vendetta against the Red Cross.

Tomboto, go report me to your gangster Soviet employers

Very interesting.

i wonder if the cognitive dissonance engine cranked at all during this one

I saw some smoke belch out, and then it happened a second time; turns out there's already a song about it

lol? http://www.newsweek.com/vladimir-putin-sidney-blumenthal-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-benghazi-sputnik-508635

i don't really understand what this russian connection is all about. i'm guessing putin or someone sympathetic to the kremlin has embedded advisors inside trump's campaign? it was weird to see him insist that the US should support russia's alliance with assad

also changing the topic from aleppo to mosul as soon as he could. maybe he just didn't know what he was talking about, but still -- where is he getting the idea that russia and assad are doing more to fight isis than the rebels and the kurds?

^^Putin's Instagram, iirc

that newsweek article is very disturbing

i don't think there have to be moles. breitbart types crush on putin as beautiful white strongman and their spheres of media consumption+production overlap w the russian right's.

related to the above, one of the espn stations' debate counterprogramming was this:

Already recommended this one a couple of times in these threads but I'll recommend it again. I don't know how anyone can watch this and think Trump could run anything.

Article connecting Trump and Cohn, while weirdly leaving out Stone:

http://forward.com/opinion/351591/roy-cohn-and-the-shocking-jewish-mentorship-that-created-donald-trump/

Just watched the 30 For 30 about the USFL, and there was Cohn, adding an extra layer of slime to the story. I'm not going to say destroying the USFL was the WORST thing Trump ever did, but it's up there. God, he's always been such a spoiled, greedy, horrible businessman.

speaking of the USFL, he'll be reminded what 2nd and short feels like in less than a month

Tell us what you did for Haitians.

gave money to orgs that weren't the Clinton Foundation?

you guys always keepin me honest by insisting i solve all the problems your candidates worsen. tough love!

whut

solitary URLs that sum up 2016

dash of 1957 for taste

i liked the sputnik inclusion for it's WTFness and if 2016 has been anything (other than a massive and continuous bummer of death and neverending election lows) it's WTF

it's the name of a news service

Ah, that makes more sense. But i was hoping.

someday you will find me, caught beneat the landsli-i-de
in a champagne super-

I, for one, am deeply shocked that someone in the Trump team has a Google News Alert set up for "Benghazi". Obviously shows incredible ineptitude in checking sources, both from Sputnik and particularly from Trump, but it doesn't seem any more mysterious than any of the other badly-sourced info he gets from dodgy news sites - particularly given that it was picked up all over Trump-fan Twitter prior to him mentioning it.
