Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 4m4 minutes ago Queens, NY
With the exception of cheating Bernie out of the nom the Dems have always proven to be far more loyal to each other than the Republicans!

lol this is...the opposite

lol:

The former radio shock jock’s disdain for Trump reached a crescendo in April when he donned swim goggles and rubbed his face in a bowl of crushed Cheetos to see if he could “look like Donald Trump.”

Aw, crap, gbx, I was just going to post the same. Missed by 21 seconds :(

anyone read this? Dark Money by Jane Mayer

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/17/dark-money-review-nazi-oil-the-koch-brothers-and-a-rightwing-revolution

from the comments section of that breitbart, a little poetry for a tuesday morning:

Cackling Cankles • 9 hours ago
Glenn Beck's a pedocon King
Who pushes the “RINO First” thing
But deep in his heart
He’d rather hear a fat boy fart
Than ever hear a pretty girl sing!

When his all boy crew shows up to work,
You hear Glenn gayly going berserk
Then they giggle and lisp,
Like a will-o’-the wisp…
It sounds like a junior high circle jerk!

I've read the Dark Money book, yeah. It's very good, though I don't remember much about 'nazi oil'. It was also quite fun reading it as Trump was turning the revolution on his head. But if GOP retains senate, then dark money has probably proven it's worth again.

in case anyone wanted to see alex jones with his shirt off

he takes his shirt off alla time

Wasn't Alex Jones featured in a Linklater movie? I remember his show in the late 90's in Austin. Weird that he has moved to this extreme right position.

he was in slacker iirc

watching that video i had the sobering realisation that alex jones and i are basically torso twins :(

Dark Money is marvelous

Disloyal R's are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary. They come at you from all sides. They don’t know how to win - I will teach them!

he is in full on melt down

I keep thinking you guys are saying "Dark Monkey" and get excited then get less interested when I realize my mistake. "Dark Monkey" sounds like a great book, though.

nice look inside Trump's head here:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-inside-story-of-donald-trumps-comedy-central-roast-is-everything-you-thought-it-would-be_us_57fbed42e4b0e655eab6c191

Trump made a few lackluster attempts at cracking wise. He changed a joke meant to slam MacFarlane from: “The only way you’ll ever draw a crowd is with a pencil.” Trump’s revision: “The only crowd you’ll attract is flies.”

After a joke that cited climate change, Trump suggested a parenthetical: “(Which obviously doesn’t exist).”

Elsewhere, Trump suggested a broadside against the entire dais: “Their all losers and I like associating with loser because it makes me feel even better about myself.” (The grammar mistakes are Trump’s.)

and Waking Life

xxp

this too

The writers eventually convinced Trump to “own” his hair by wrapping follicular self-deprecation into a boast about his wealth. The joke, not in the rebuttal drafts obtained by HuffPost, originally went: “What’s the difference between a wet raccoon and Donald Trump’s hair? A wet raccoon doesn’t have $2 billion.” Trump eventually agreed to use the joke, according to several people involved in the show, so long as the $2 billion was changed to $7 billion. Ross told Kimmel that settling on the amount was like a “business negotiation,” with Trump initially wanting the number to be $10 billion.

Wow... Disloyal R's are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary. They come at you from all sides. They don’t know how to win - I will teach them!

I'm torn. On the one hand, he's going to fire up some of the most hateful trash in America for years to come. On the other hand, having already lost the presidency, nothing would be sweeter than him getting his base to refuse to vote for downballot Republicans, handing Democrats the Presidency, the Senate, and the House for two years.

man. it's hard to believe we were worried about him winning a month ago.

My favorite kind of story: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/440954/difficult-art-miraculous-comeback

what will the Post's article be titled the day after the election

man. it's hard to believe we were worried about him winning a month ago.

"we"

haha yes

fair enough

Donald Trump has circled the wagons and is firing inward

In 2012, 35 percent of Americans voted early, roughly 46 million Americans.

I have a hard time believing 35% of Americans even voted in the last election, much less voted early.

This was the part that stuck out for me in that HuffPo piece about the roast:

Graff made known that roasters should address Trump only as “Mr. Trump,” according to Larsen.

“I always thought that was weird,” Larsen said. “That was sort of the mandate, you call him ‘Mr. Trump,’ so when he shows up, in this day in age, it’s a strange thing to do. Even having been around a lot of different celebrities, I can’t remember a single other time I have had to call someone ‘mister.’”

there's a clip going around of betsy mccaughey (yes that one) reading lyrics to formation to don lemon something something pussy idk

three weeks everyone

xxpost - maybe why Hillary kept calling him "Donald" at the 1st debate? knew it would rankle him

Trump's getting destroyed in early voting.

Here's a version of the clip on Don Lemon'a show. The longer version is better:

https://twitter.com/austin_walker/status/785712612063358978

The estimates I've seen say that about 500,000 early ballots have already been cast. That seems like ... basically none? Turnout will be over 100m so we're talking 0.5% of all votes. Now in 2012, 35% of votes were cast early or absentee, so I think there will be a ton more early voting, but I think the next two weeks, not the previous two weeks, are where the real action is.

which is even worse for Trump as his poll numbers take and party in-fighting reaches a fever pitch

This, and he always calls her "Hillary" so why should she say anything BUT "Donald"?

"Shithead" comes easily to mind

dude just retweets shit without any clue at all

Sh could always call him "That one"
