Sh could always call him "That one"

McCain's "that one" comment was the point where I was like "maybe he doesn't actually WANT to be President"

this is really something

Cheering its registration push, Clinton camp notes this afternoon that in NC, African American #s up by 6% over '12, Hispanic #s by 50%.

donald has tweeted out jim hoft product has he not

these wiki-leaks seem p weaksauce to me

In the one i just read, as reported in the intercept, the major crime seems to be that they 'compiled' (wrote down) the fact that Goldman Sachs don't like Elizabeth Warren, which according to the writer, constitutes "an awesome example of how money greases the wheels of Washington, D.C." ... I thought the influence of money on politics went further than "a campaign committee member took notes"...

also I know there's more money elsewhere but the sums listed are paltry

In the 2014 election cycle, the Goldman Sachs PAC gave the DCCC $30,000; in 2016, it gave $20,000.

and then later on they note that some other lobby group, Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), who don't like language demonizing Wall Street, didn't donate any money to the Democrats, and gave money to Republicans instead--LOL!

Indeed, campaign disclosures show that SIFMA’s political action committee donated to the committee supporting House Republicans this year, but not the DCCC. In the 2014 election cycle, they gave $30,000 to the DCCC.

author of the piece later notes that they raise about 150 million per year, so those $20-30k donations are .02% of what the DCCC raises per election

there is nothing even close to a smoking gun. it's pretty much nothing imo

Xp trump looking suspiciously youthful there

and lol at fox being added to the shitlist

One of the stories in there is that SIFMA raised concerns about the Fiduciary rule, which the guy from the DNCC dutifully scribbled down. Every Dem member of senate then voted for upholding the Fiduciary rule when the GOP tried to bring it down. So the story here is that the SIFMA doesn't influence the dems.

this is really something

DONALD TRUMP WILL PROTECT YOU
HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN

wow how'd I do that

4chan is truth and democracy

http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/new-documents-show-trump-misled-about-his-income

From that Bloomberg bit:

The drawn-out nonrevelation instantaneously reverberated across the Atlantic, where Jones interrupted his livestream and broke into verse, quoting the rapper Ludacris as he urged Assange to, “Move, bitch, get out the way / get out the way, bitch / get out the way.”

next steps: copyright term "de-trumpification" now

lol @ the Mother Jones link, which is not surprising

can the GOP confirm garland before the election? would be fun to see trump's reaction to that.

hahahaha that would be amazing but I think they'd have to reconvene

not gonna happen

why would they even do that?

for the lols

cos Hillary is about to submit a more liberal judge and might have a Senate to confirm it

but yeah it's not gonna happen now

what music is Trump gonna play after his concession speech?

part of me thinks they just won't ever fill that spot even when clinton is president

although yea a dem senate will change that

what music is Trump gonna play after his concession speech?

he'll stick with "You Can't Always Get What You Want"

dead leaves and the dirty ground

Or maybe Neil Young just to really grind it in

neil young really looking like trump these days

Hillary's should be "Who's Crying Now?"

Ya know, even tho he was another bilious, syphlitic, orange-toffed, despotic gasbag, Baron Harkonnen actually had an attentive medical staff with regularly check-ups. And he could fly.

what music is Trump gonna play after his concession speech?

where did you get the impression he was going to concede?

tbh i did think his response to the last question at the 2nd debate gives a glimpse of a possible exit w/ a (infinitesimal) bit of decency left, but who am i kidding this is trump

they are really all-in on scumbag reddit/MRA/breitbart language

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/eric-trump-says-bragging-about-sexual-assault-is-what-happens-when-youre-an-alpha-personality/

The young Trump shared with the office staff, “I think sometimes when guys are together they get carried away, and sometimes that’s what happens when alpha personalities are in the same presence,” on why his father and Billy Bush shared in such a “lewd” exchange about grabbing women by the “p*ssy” and getting away with it because of status.

you couldn't really invent more pitch-perfect POS rich spoiled scumbags like the two older trump sons

Might be time to bring "scumfuck" back into daily usage, although I'm sure the late standard-bearer of the phrase would contest being associated with these scumfucks

Trump will go out to "I don't mind" by James Brown,

btw between LePage's plea for authoritarianism (an incoherent one i might add since he seems to also think that under obama we have both 'autocracy' and 'anarchy') and trump's "HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN," i think we're in a pretty good place to settle "is Donald Trump a fascist" once and for all
