2016 Election Thread (ROUND FIVE!)

[snuffbox]

Some of the excuses for Trump have been incredible. Will Katrina Pierson get her own show on the soon-to-be Trump/Breitbart/Drudge channel?

Trump bs infodump for the day:

Mediaite reported that the former video game entrepreneur asked Regan, “How many times have you looked at a young man and said ‘Wow, he’s a beautiful young man’ or ‘Wow he’s a gorgeous young man?’ and that man was 12, 13, 14, 15?”

“I’ll be honest,” Regan said. “Zero.”

“See, now, that’s a lie,” Schilling said. “There’s no way you haven’t seen a young man, somebody else’s son and said, ‘Wow, he’s beautiful.'”

“Nope, sorry,” Regan said. “You’re on your own on this one.”


Schilling said that women tell him all the time that his youngest son is going to be a beautiful man.

“To jump to the point where you’re assuming, like, pedophilia or molestation is where you’re going with this,” Schilling said. “He’s just joking about ‘When she gets older, I’m gonna date her.’ I mean, how do you get from there to being revolted and disgusted?”

“As the first (woman of color) to win the title in almost a decade — I was forewarned prior to meeting him that, ‘Mr. Trump doesn't like black people. So don't take it the wrong way if he isn't extremely welcoming towards you. If he is, then (you) just must be the ‘type’ of black he likes,'" Crawford, now 23, tweeted.


“I saw him in action & witnessed him completely snub a black contestant at Miss Universe rehearsals while she was practicing on stage. Literally turned his back to the stage and made a face like he was going to vomit at the sight of her,” tweeted Crawford.

“Luckily for me — I was the ‘type’ of black he liked. He toted me around his buddies who were all there gawking at the Miss Universe girls, bragged about how ‘beautiful’ and ‘well spoken’ I was. ‘She's so smart, look how smart she is,’ he kept saying."

In 2004, the committee spent $18.2 million on independent expenditures — or IEs, in campaign parlance — boosting George W. Bush’s reelection bid. In 2008, the RNC’s IE spending surged to $53.5 million in support of John McCain’s campaign against Barack Obama. And in 2012, the RNC spent $42.4 million on IEs boosting Mitt Romney or opposing President Obama — with nearly 80 percent of the spending occurring before mid-October.

By contrast, this cycle the RNC has spent only $321,000 on independent expenditures attacking Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. And all of that spending occurred last fall — before Trump had emerged as the leader for the GOP presidential nomination.

I knew you scums were trying to push the wrong meme coming out of this stupid shit.

We had a real life 400 pound hacker right there and you schmucks go and force Ken Bone smh...

Also this is how weird we have gone in this election season where some random person asking a question at a town hall debate can have their entire life vetted now.

the funny thing to me is that people are looking at his defense of Zimmerman as being worse than him looking at the J Lau nudes, something he actually did.

so what I'm saying Koab, is when people find out that you defended Zimmerman for like six pages, you're fucked

 

[KOAB]

I'll just use BleachBit or some shit to erase the whole board before it comes to that.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Can't wait for KOAB's 40,000 erased posts controversy

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

We have lots of backups don't worry. I keep mine on a separate drive not connected to any system, sealed in bubble wrap.

 

[Damaramu]

A TV was on behind me playing Trump's speech in NC while I was eating lunch. Holy crap. He's really doubling down on the "She's an uggo. Would I really sexually harass her?" and "The election is rigged! They're out to get me!" stuff.

Don't fuck with Montell

So the "witness" Trump brought forth said that Trump was sitting next to the woman who alleged she was assaulted by him. Not much of a denial there.

I just checked the sample ballots. This is the guy I get to vote for instead of Marsha Blackburn: http://www.nashvillescene.com/news/article/13041553/tharon-chandler-wants-you-to-want-him

Don't skip the comments. He responds!

Oh wait, we got another option:

Today I voted for legal weed, for banning the death penalty, and for raw dogging in porn. I LOVE THIS STATE!

So Trump supporters are sharing a meme of Hillary Clinton grabbing some dude by the dick on stage and calling her a hypocrite for Trump's "grab them by the pussy" remarks.

The picture is actually of Florence Henderson which anybody who watched eight seconds of The Brady Bunch could have figured out.

November 8 scares the fuck out of me.

 

[Precious Roy]

When did Florence Henderson grab somebody's dick on stage?

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Donald Trump said Saturday that he and Hillary Clinton should be required to take drug tests before the third presidential debate, insinuating that something “is going on with her.”

“Athletes, they make them take a drug test. I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. I do. I think we should, why don't we do that? We should take a drug test prior, because I don't know what's going on with her. But at the beginning of her last debate she was all pumped up at the beginning and at the end she was like, 'Oh, take me down.' "

Hillary on the based PED's folks.

He's stepped up the rhetoric about the election being fixed and stolen and how this is the last chance his side will ever have to the umpteenth degree the last week. I thought he'd created a cultish atmosphere before but it didn't have a patch on now. Followers of any movement can be bad but the denial of all outside information going on with Trumpsters is amazing. He's also going to war with the Ohio party bosses which is hilarious since he needs them if he wants to win Ohio and he needs Ohio if he wants any kind of path to 270. Of course he knows he doesn't have that and he's just furthering the narrative of sabotage.

If Hillary wins, we kill her.

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

I've reached the point of genuine sadness at all of this. At this stage of a general election year I normally am a creature of constant news consumption but I almost go out of my way to keep up with things this year. It's fucking painful and I lay it all at the feet of the Boomers with no apologies whatsoever. This is their final act of destroying our society with their ignorant and neoliberal sensibilities with no care for a future or past.

 

[909]

What did you libcucks think was going to happen after disrespecting Bush? That politics was just going to snap back to civility?

I don't agree with anything Bush did, but people had no respect for the office he held. This is a continuation of that and this is how it will be from now on. You have a bunch of idiots that think they can just scream into other people's faces until they agree with them. This holds true for the younger generations as well.

Whatever. That man spearheaded the stupidest fucking foreign policy decisions of the last century. We're still cleaning up from the economic stupidity as well. Who the fuck cuts taxes in wartime? I always respect the Presidency but to suggest that the holder of that office is above scrutiny under the guise of "it's disrespect" and calling people cucks is lazy at best.

This shit was created by the fucking Boomers who bought Reagan hook, line, and sinker and then committed themselves to Limbaughsanity during the 1990s to destroy anyone who might imply that a collective was more important than selfish individualism. Bush became their fully realized avatar of someone who got into their position on a basis of their last name and had nothing to offer otherwise. That wave of fear and NeoCon thought was taken up by a Congress elected by a population which was explicitly made to fear the rest of the world.

 

[909]

Of course that's true, but I don't know what you could possibly expect when half the country thought the criticism of him was overboard. This became the new normal at that moment.

 

[snuffbox]

I don't remember the Bush, Kerry or Gore campaigns being this bad.

 

[Precious Roy]

Bush-Kerry was civil compared to this one. And that one was awful too

 

[Precious Roy]

The other day I was like, "I kinda miss Reagan"........and I fucking hate Reagan. That's how bad this has gotten IMO

The Washington Post published a story that claims Linda McMahon donated $6 million back in August and September to the Rebuilding America Now super PAC supporting Donald Trump.

She made five contributions to that PAC over that period, with the most recent being $1 million on September 22nd.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/men-are-treating-2016-as-a-normal-election-women-arent/

Clinton is +20 among Women while Trump is just +7 among Men.

The last time women favored either party’s nominee by more than 20 percentage points was in 1972, when Republican Richard Nixon crushed Democrat George McGovern among both sexes. The only Democrat ever to win women by more than 20 points was Lyndon Johnson in 1964 — also in a blowout. Four years ago, President Obama carried women by only about 12 points. Even when he first won the White House, in 2008, by about double his 2012 margin, his margin among women was only 14 points.

If only we all had enough money to completely piss away some on complete political failures multiple times.

Gary Johnson seems like a complete fucking idiot, maybe even more than Trump because at least Trump can create the illusion he knows what he is talking about a good 25% of the time.
