So Trump revealed his witness today. Let's look at his history:

The group behind those signs is off-the-walls crazy. The guy who leads it is a black man who believes Obama is a figure from the Bible sent here to kill the world. He also considers child support to be a form of slavery. Here's one of his old websites. Latin Black & White Must Unite!!!! | Just another WordPress.com site |

CBC ran an interview this evening with a journalism professor who indicated the People reporter had told him about her Trump encounter within hours of it happening. He advised her at the time not to pursue it as Trump would likely try try to ruin her career. Seems he was right.

A bit of a detour...
Down the street from me last weekend a couple, wife 7 months pregnant, lost everything in a fire hours after they moved in the last box to their new place. The fire was started next door from an illegal kitchen. Anyway, there is a gofund me. It's been an amazing thing to behold in this particularly awful political month. Without asking who they are voting for, if they are legal, etc. the neighborhood has rallied around them. Most donations are anonymous. And the comments are: I have baby clothes for you, we have a spare room, we can bring you food, etc. I really hope in 24 days we can once again use the light we all have in us to show the good we do and not as torch just exposing the monsters we think are in town. end of rant. |

Pedophilia accusations seem to be popping up way too frequently these days. Maybe Eyes Wide Shut was more truthful than I thought and Donald Trump is to this what Jose Canseco was to steroids. (This is the claim that I'm suspicious of, on both sides, though it is clear that both men ran in the same circle as Epstein before he went to jail.)

This popped up on my FB feed. It's from someone in my home town, and it's very representative of the "support" I've seen for Trump and the tribalism that we were recently discussing. I think for the liberals on the board in particular, this is worth a read for the instructional value, if nothing else.

Honest question - is there a left-wing counterpart to this sort of stuff? Things that the left is saying that Trump (or the too-conservative-for-them flavor of the month) would do if elected, that are pretty demonstrably both not being argued for, and obviously not politically viable? The back-to-the-coat-hanger-abortion trope is about the best I can conjure off the top of my head, but even that at least fits with a position taken by many on the other side (it just fails the viability test). I suspect I'm just missing things... there's plenty of despicability on both side of the aisle. |

(I related the story here back in July of having lunch with five other guys in Columbus, four of whom were all planning to hold their nose and vote for Trump. He was one of the guys at that lunch and clearly he's still a nose-holder.) 2. One of the smartest people I knew in Junior High. He's a year older than me. We were in the gifted program together. He's an Aerospace Engineering grad from GT. 3. A Mortgage company VP Liked it. High school friend. Have hung out with her/her family multiple times in adulthood. Perfectly pleasant/normal folks. 4. Georgia State Senator Seth Harp gave it a Like. Of course, that's not the suggest that the "Likes" indicate 100% agreement with the most out-there stuff, but clearly there's *something* causing otherwise-reasonable people to stick with Trump regardless of what he says/does and with eyes wide open to what a scumbag he is. We're that divided, folks.

Well, it's the internet. I'm sure you can find some liberal somewhere spouting off something roughly equivalent, though I'm not sure exactly what it would be. Probably something along the lines of Trump will suspend the Constitution, invoke martial law, and start rounding people up into deportation camps like the Nazis did.

If one is absolutely terrified that replacing Antonin Scalia with Merrick Garland will result in a Court that forces the States to allow first trimester abortions without exception then yes, I kinda-sorta get the "hold my nose" vote for Trump. Anyone who thinks that a barely-left-of-center Clinton Presidency with a likely 50/50 Senate and a probable GOP House is going to run roughshod over 1st and 2nd amendment rights, raise taxes by double-digits, to say nothing of the things posted by the guy you quote are simply products of the GOP's normalization of the conspiracy theory wing of the party for the purpose of driving out votes. There is simply no similar movement on the left. The Occupiers and the Bernie Bros were the only things that came remotely close, and it was pretty weak at that. |

I mean, can you fix that kind of stupid? Kill old people, allow after birth abortions (that may be the dumbest thing I've heard). For a group of religious people so hell bent on controlling a pregnant woman's body, I find it deplorable that they mostly oppose all the things that could help prevent it. Look a Colorado's free IUD program and birth control, drastically reduced unwanted pregnancy levels, abortions, and saved the state money. But we can't do that because ABSTINENCE!
When my wife and I were having issues getting pregnant, we saw an adoption counselor who told us it could take over $50k, over 3 years, and we still may not get a baby. Maybe turn the focus off of a supreme court that decided something 40 years ago and has held despite conservative appointments, and actually focus on the cause. Oh, because then they could not scare dopey people like that guy in your facebook feed to vote for them.

The thing is what do Trump's followers think is going to happen if Clinton is assassinated? Trump is going to roll down Penn. Ave in a tank, and take over? Pretty sure he will be arrested and/or killed shortly after such an event. And take over from a Democratic President just like that? I think not.

Paul Ryan just tweeted that women aren't paid enough and the House is going to get to work on that. Meanwhile, he still hasn't withdrawn his Trump endorsement.

The Trump campaign announced that they are cutting ties with the GOP chairman in Ohio.
Yeah, I don't understand.

With their non-existent ground game they don't need the help of the state GOP organization to win a crucial swing state. Trump also went with the claim that all the women accusing him of sexual assault are liars because no one respects women more than he does. Because even if he is completely innocent noting says respect for women more than explaining how some of them are just too darn ugly for you to have sexually violated them. |

This election cycle has been entertaining. The Supreme Court is something that folks are not paying attention too. Ginsberg should have retired two years ago and allowed Obama to appoint someone in her place who was young enough to serve for 20 years.

Wouldn't have been ideologically comparable to Ginsburg. Not unless Reid had gone full nuclear option, with all of the long-term ramifications thereof. Any replacement would have been stonewalled and filibustered to infinity and beyond. Best Obama would have been able to hope for is a moderate, same as the Scalia opening. His ability to appoint anybody to the left of Garland died with the 2010 elections. |

Honestly, I thought this election was funny for a while.
Then I worried that the polls were skewed because people were slightly ashamed of voting Trump. But now, America, you've jumped the shark. Just can't take this shit seriously any more.

fair point. I would also add that despite anyone's view on Brexit, the maddest personality was Boris, and while on the surface he is a bit like Trump without the rapey stuff and the violent rhetoric, the important part of that phrase is 'without the rapey stuff and the violent rhetoric'

Dola, both Brexit and POTUS have been abysmal adverts for democracy.
HRC - MO seems to be 'give em enough rope'... Leave / Remain - both sides ran terrible campaigns and seemingly tried to out-do the other in the brazen lies and fearmongering stakes Trump. Just no. Between one of the oldest democracies and one of the greatest countries in the world, we haven't done ourselves any favours in the last six months.

Of course, if you look at Trump's behavior over the past two weeks differently, playing devil's advocate here, you see someone who logically knows the election is lost, but is looking to get the best possible start to his own cable television channel possible. And, to go further, he'll use that platform to either continue to re-make the GOP (becoming a Kingmaker, which he's definitely prefer to being POTUS) or create a replacement for the GOP. There, QuikSand, I've created the left-wing version of the conspiracies Ben posted. |

I dont think the election is lost. You guys see the polls, but who do they call? Rural voters or do they concentrate on urban voters.
I see an election a lot closer then you think. And those tweets by Trump are going to fire people up. Liberals continue to underestimate Trump. Big mistake. You are so out of touch with rural America.

Or, demographics more likely to support Trump are also demographics more likely to respond to polling. Pollsters aren't so stupid to only call people in NYC and LA. Trump may win. The polls may be wrong. But at this point, the overwhelming likelihood is that Trump will lose.
