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.

― Neanderthal

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

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.

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.

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,

Mark G, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 17:52 (seven years ago) link

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

in my household "scumfuck" has never gone out of daily usage

i see that trump is calling mccain "foul-mouthed". so is he going to link to the article describing what mccain called his wife? that would be p. amazing.

what a horrible human being.

these explicit attempts at asshole normalization are popping up all over and proving that there is another layer to the last refuge of a scoundrel beyond patriotism: proud assholism

Aimee Mann writes an anti-Trump song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qROQ0XYP4Ck

I wanted to write about Trump in the first person because I think it's more interesting to speculate on what people’s inner life might be. I had heard a theory that Trump’s interest in running for President was really kicked off at the 2011 White House Correspondent’s dinner when President Obama basically roasted him, so that’s where I started. And my own feeling was that it wasn’t really the job itself he wanted, but the thrill of running and winning, and that maybe it had all gotten out of hand and was a runaway train that he couldn’t stop.

LYRICS
That bastard making fun of me in front of all my peers
Those people think I own this town, you’re stripping all my gears
Well guess what Mr. President, I’ll be seeing you
In four years

Though on the campaign trail the papers paint me like a clown
Still all I see are crowds who want to fit me for a crown
I point out all my enemies just so my fans
Bring them down

Isn’t anybody going to stop me?
I don’t want this job
I don’t want this job, my god
Can’t you tell
I’m unwell

You try to pin me down but you don’t really try that hard
I throw out any shit I want and no one trumps that card
So dazzled and distracted by your fantasy
Of Hildegard

Isn’t anybody going to stop me?
I don’t want this job
I don’t want this job, my god
Can’t you tell
I’m unwell

You ask about my plan but baby my plan is to win
I wind up all the tops and watch the others keep the spin
You handing me grenades is just compelling me
To pull the pin

Isn’t anybody going to stop me?
I don’t want this job
I can’t do this job, my god
Can’t you tell
I’m unwell

the phenomenon of ben carson is perhaps even more mysterious to me than that of trump

he seems to exist on a different level of reality
