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

Once Obama is out of office, I think you are going to see him go on the attack much more aggressively. I think he's been holding a lot back.

chuuch ‏@ch000ch

TRUMP: i grab women by the pussy
A DOZEN WOMEN: yeah that's true he did it to me
TRUMP: this is a global conspiracy

I also think the GOP will continue the same policy of zero compromise and total stonewalling with Clinton, but even more so.

think obama has been chastened by his experience as president. i think he believed he would get a few republicans who liked him in the senate to play ball. can def see no fucks given version post presidency.

He's definitely not going to fade into retirement

nah, but hes gonna go to colorado and get FADED in his retirement
CHOOM GANG REUNION

Wld watch that 30 for 30

No president plays attack dog immediately after they leave office, this is not a thing that happens.

Clinton definitely will be clear-eyed about the extent of bipartisanship.

Offensive yet so weird

One of the executive producers had to call him up directly to [plead with] him not to say it, and Trump was like, ‘No, that’s a saying, it’s Uncle Tom.’

If I weren't already convinced of the validity of this story, this little dash of Trump thinking would have done it for sure.

@realDonaldTrump: Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted and should be in jail. Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election

at what point does this get dangerous

A long time ago.

I like this one, you can tell he's falling apart:

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago

100% fabricated and made-up charges, pushed strongly by the media and the Clinton Campaign, may poison the minds of the American Voter. FIX!

FIX!

Trump campaign issues a statement from an alleged cousin of Summer Zavros. His name? "John Barry." When you're a con man, you really believe people will fall for anything.

No way

idgi

Loooooool

John Barry was the iconic composer of the music for the most famous James Bond movies

Xp

At first I thought that was the name Trump used for his debunked "spokesman," but that was John Barron. Still, I don't think this guy's got a lot of imagination, so the Barron to Barry trip isn't that far.

ah ok

john barry is apparently his brother in law's name

to think this man was seen as a contender a year ago:

he was the eejit who claimed that more European Jews would have survived the Holocaust if they all had guns, which is a dumb enough opinion but this clown had it published in a book.

i guess it's an appropriate name

what i would like very sincerely is to never see or hear from ben carson ever again

ugh -- his voice. He sounds like a billy goat whose balls are being tickled by the King James Bible.

I guess that's the Carson clip I was hearing about yesterday. "Get it through your thick skull" is deeply hostile.

fuck this idea that trump's career as a sex offender is only objectionable from the standpoint of "judeo christian values."

“If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it,” Dan Bowman, a 50-year-old contractor, said of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. “We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”

He then placed a Trump mask on his face and posed for pictures.

To be fair to Carson, "it doesn't matter" pretty much sums up much about Trump's campaign.

Can we make it to and through election day without real violence? Wonder if that militia standoff was an outlier or sign of things to come ...

Holy fuck that Carson clip

He's basically using "judeo christian values" and "morality" interchangeably, as far as I can tell.

here's what happened last week recapped http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/assault-allegations-donald-trump-recapped/

Looked over at Reddit and noted shithead and fake journalist James O'Keefe is promising to drop Clinton-related undercover videos next week. I'm sure Fox News will love it but i have to think the networks are getting sick of being played by pro-Trump bullshit and might actually try to figure out whether it's his usual deceptively edited/mildly illegal garbage.

I can't wait for the "both sides do it" takes after a bunch of people get shot on Election Day or shortly after

vaginas are landmines

This is spectacularly dumb on Trump's part.

(Maybe not as dumb as "vaginas are land mines")

Found this interview last night really interesting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy17Z_jntQ0

Setting aside for a second the hostility of what Trump actually says, the whole idea of going back 10 years to a moment in your life and rerunning it from a different angle that was unavailable to you at the time, that's out of some tricked-up Christopher Nolan/Tarantino film. And to have it become a national story besides, played endlessly everywhere.

Part of me wants to go high and part of me just wishes these miserable fucks would just kill themselves instead of crusading to smear shit across the country.

kinda stupid to make a habit of grabbing land mines imo

nah it's a balst
