It's just amazing to me that the "don't trust the media" people seem to be 100% trusting in alt-right blogs. They think debunking MSM with a link to breitbart or youncons is a legitimate argument. I think what's the most sad is that you can't even debate facts anymore. There are no facts anymore. No matter what your viewpoint is on anything, there is always going to be someone who can post a link to something giving the opposite view point and it will be mistaken as a fact. "The media is lying......and here is a link from this other media source to prove it!"

“First and foremost,” Pence argued, “I have no idea why Mrs. Obama, who will be departing the White House shortly, is even commenting on the future President of the United States, God-willing. That’s the first thing I don’t quite get. Secondly, if she’s the First Lady, shouldn’t she be focused on doing whatever it is that First Ladies are supposed to be doing as their duties while their husbands are rescuing the world? What’s she doing commenting on and obviously worrying about her successor? That’s not what she should be doing.”

The governor of Indiana also said that she “has no business” commenting on men and their “restroom talk,” as well as that that’s not “ladylike behavior.” “Now, I know that the word ‘lady’ is kind of in her job description, but it looks to me she’s not behaving like one, at least as of late,” he said. “If she was a real lady, she wouldn’t be commenting on men’s restroom talk and neglecting her own work and duties just so she could get a word out on a topic that she finds interesting for some reason.”

He continued, “If we had anyone else serving as the first lady, they would pretend like they hadn’t heard it and would be going about their business in a normal fashion. But no, Michelle Obama is so vulgar she’s not only being vocal about it, but she’s also convinced that her job title will add weight and significance to her words. And she may be fooling those who can’t see through her smoke screen, but the rest of us have her figured out. She can’t fool me, just like she can’t fool Donald Trump or any other conservative American who has the guts to think for himself.”

The thing that scares me is for as many of us laughing at the ridiculous comments from Pence above, there are so many vocal out there that are in extreme agreement with him...

That article Brody posted where the 50-year old talks about making a coup to assassinate Hilary before pulling a Trump mask on is scary. And I hope he is too dumb to pull it off but I think the extremists in this country are just as scary as the non-American, non-Christian religious extremists they rant about.

I've figured out that most of the Republicans I know think that because I'm a Democrat I won't own a gun. Bring the Legions of Trump on because I'm packing heat!

I've learned from Dadaramu and his cronies that if you absolutely prove their article false they'll respond with "I never said I believed that! I was just posting another viewpoint!"

Gimmick aside for a moment, you should tell them if they make any insinuations towards you. Pussies never mess with people who they know have a weapon.

Anyone who claims out loud that they'll do something after the election is a fat pussy that won't do fucking shit. Those are the kinds of people who make sure their car door is locked or windows are rolled up cause they see a black guy standing on the corner.

The people I worry about are the militia types that don't post anything on social media about the election while stocking up the whole time.

Pence contradicted Trump on who is behind the leaks to wikileaks as well saying the evidence points in the direction of Russia. He also said he and Trump won't contest the results of the election. He's pretty much out there just doing his own thing.

Meanwhile http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/301323-trump-campaign-left-out-of-alaska-voter-guide?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark they couldn't even remember to send in their info to get themselves into the voter guide in Alaska something even Jill Stein did.

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/trump-files-another-woman-insulted-by-trump?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark MJ isn't a fav of mine but they do have a fun feature every day of goofy/awful shit trump has done in the past with links to past enteries.

I've known plenty of these people. They talk hard about welfare moms and how black kids need to pull up their pants or they'll pull them up for them and then we end up in a certain area of town and they're like "Dude drive. This is a bad area of town. Look at those guys standing on the street corner!"

What drives me most crazy is these "anti-MSM" people will come with stuff from RT. Because it's not MSM.......it's just the PROPAGANDA WING OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. That's a much more credible source and not at all biased, lol

Melania says Donald was egged on by Billy Bush, and that she often says she has 2 boys at home, her son & Donald. So basically he is easily fooled & has the temperament of a young child. V. presidential.

http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/10/windows-server-2003-in-2016-trumps-mail-servers-are-old-and-insecure/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

[Hillary Clinton isn't the only one who may have had an e-mail security problem. A security researcher has discovered that the Trump Organization's mail servers all run on a version of Microsoft Windows Server that has been out of support for years, with minimal user security. The e-mail servers for Trump's hotels, golf courses and other businesses run on an unpatched version of Windows Server 2003 with Internet Information Server 6—making them a vulnerable target for anyone who might want to gain access to the organization's e-mails.

Update: The webmail host is still up, at webmail.trumporg.com/owa, though it has apparently been getting a lot more login attempts than usual and has been unavailable several times today. The login page confirms that the site is running Microsoft Exchange 2007.

No way this article doesn't lead to some shit as the update already seems to hint at people trying.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clinton-holds-clear-advantage-in-new-battleground-polls/2016/10/18/2885e3a0-94a6-11e6-bc79-af1cd3d2984b_story.html?ICID=ref_fark&utm_content=link&utm_medium=website&utm_source=fark

Hillary Clinton holds a decisive advantage over Donald Trump in the competition for votes in the electoral college, leading in enough states to put her comfortably over the 270 majority needed to win the presidential election in November, according to a new SurveyMonkey poll of 15 battleground states conducted with The Washington Post.

Based on the results from the 15 state surveys, along with assumptions of the likely outcomes in other states that have consistently voted for one party or the other, Clinton, the Democratic nominee, holds leads of four points among likely voters or more in states that add up to 304 electoral votes.

TEXAS as a toss-up. Trump invited a BENGHAZI mom to sit front row at the debate as his latest stunt.

He's really going all out to set up the fan base for his alt-right programming after he loses. I can't wait to see them pull support from Fox News.

Trump should have commissioned cardboard cutouts of all those people Hillary Clinton killed to fill the seats.

2004 seems like SO long ago. I guess it'll be nice to get a miniaturized version of this Presidential election in my home state.

Now excuse me while I put my head in the oven.

Nice of Schilling to provide Warren with a resume point for 2024.

Scott Brown was interviewed about that and cast some shade about how dealing with Obama was a nightmare because all he did was push his own agenda, ignoring the GOP.

In other news, Scott Brown is a snobbish douchenozzle who immediately betrayed the Tea Party constituents that voted him in (for half a term) and has failed to regain political power in any form. Fuck Scott Brown.

I still think Trump has a good shot at taking Massachusetts. Pneumonia-ghazi-gate is just getting warmed up.

I have a feeling this election is going to be a lot more distant in terms of results than the polls are saying right now. Could see Hillary winning by double.

I'm not sure if you're being facetious, but assuming you aren't? I disagree. Most of the Trump supporters I've met have changed their minds on him over the last couple weeks and plan on voting Johnson or just not casting a ballot. There's a very real sense of Clinton being status quo and disliked overall, but a very real fear even among the conservative people I know about a potential Trump presidency.

Massachusetts. Even the right wing leans left.
