2016 elections - because it's never too early

[garbon]

Nope. Romney's statement implicitly hinged on the great bogey man of Republicans - welfare queens.

Also what was so private about Obama's statement?

Milo is living in her head, rent free

It's probably more like her millenial social media staffers feeding her their butthurt over being rousted about by the forces of Kek on twatter, etc.

Guys, it was the Russians!

Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist who has made the NFL so uncomfortable with his discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of deceased players, suggests that Hillary Clinton's campaign be checked for possible poisons after her collapse Sunday in New York.

....But this is Omalu, whose credentials and tenacity are well known. He wasn't giving up on Twitter, adding that his reasoning is that he does not trust Russian President Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee who has expressed admiration for Putin.

I love the height of intellectual debate going on on my Facebook:

In the Ohio Senate race, it looks like Portman will see off Ted "incompetent" Strickland. If the polls stay like they are.

Portman's campaign has sent me 3 "I LOVE GUNS" flyers. That's enough.

loving the comments by legbiter and marti 

I'm not.  There once was a time when at least clever trolling was amusing, not that their trolling rises to that level.  But the western world has trolled itself to the brink of disaster, so let's knock this shit off already before we all become like Russia.  If you're trolling, you're neither clever nor original, no matter how you do it.

I don't think the future of the western world is being effectively undermined by marti's and legbiter's trolling.

Yeah, they are just a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself.

It does say a lot about them personally though, none of it at all attractive.

They have chosen to take up the cause of racism, bigotry, misogyny, and ignorance as their cause for cheerleading. It certainly says something about them.

[alfred russel]

So my personal experience of everyone hating trump is breaking down. In my family, it is probably split 50-50 between republicans and democrats, but the republican members all hate trump. But I had a conversation with one of the republican family members who was telling me he was so disgusted with hillary that at this point he was considering voting for trump. Supposedly what is putting him over the edge is the "deplorable" comment, which I don't understand at all since a) it seemed to be based in fact, and b) since he wasn't a trump supporter why would that offend him?

I'm thinking it is just that in the game of team republican vs. team democrat, he can't stomach seeing team democrat win.

A case in point for "Clintons don't lie" people:

"It's almost certain she's in better health than her opponent," Bill Clinton said. "But we don't know, because he hasn't disclosed."

It's not that they lie, it's that they do it so brazenly.

[Valmy]

I don't see what is brazen about making a vague equivocating statement about what is 'almost certain'. Classic Bill Clinton there. I also wonder where this strawman about 'Clinton's Don't Lie' came from.

Anyway as Berkut showed hardly anybody lies more than Trump. Or at least says blatantly false things out of ignorance.

It's not that they lie, it's that they do it so brazenly.

Trump wasn't healthy enough during the Vietnam war.

[Razgovory]

I wonder what would have happened if he disclosed that he was senile.

[Phillip V]

Kaine should replace Clinton at the top of the ticket.
