Watching Fox the big news is that Clinton is under criminal FBI investigation while Trump is forging ahead to a sizable election victory next week.

Then turn on CNN where the Russians are stealing DNC emails to influence the election, rants about the Director of the FBI for announcing stuff he shouldn't announce and on CNN, Clinton has a solid lead in the electoral college and she is likely to be the next US president.

The comedy is that right now you can pick and choose which reality you want to live in.  :lol:

Yeah, but it's going to be pretty messy when one of the realities collapse in less than a week. I'm hoping it won't get ugly. It probably won't, but the risk is steadily growing.

I've stockpiled ammo.  I'm good.

Long Newsweek article about how Russia attempts to meddle in elections, particularly the American one: http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-russia-hillary-clinton-united-states-europe-516895

Not that anyone will care.

Good story, and I care.

Let me rephrase: Not that it'll change anything. ;) :(

QuoteNorth Korea says Trump isn't screwy at all, a wise choice for president

By Jack Kim | SEOUL
North Korea has backed presumptive U.S. Republican nominee Donald Trump, with a propaganda website praising him as "a prescient presidential candidate" who can liberate Americans living under daily fear of nuclear attack by the North.

A column carried on Tuesday by DPRK Today, one of the reclusive and dynastic state's mouthpieces, described Trump as a "wise politician" and the right choice for U.S. voters in the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election.

Do you live in daily fear of a nuclear attack from North Korea?

I hope Tim gets kidnapped and is forced to pick turnips for dear leader.

QuoteTrump surrogate Rudy Giuliani, the former NYC mayor, said on Fox this morning that he knew in advance of a new FBI inquiry announced last week into emails relating to Hillary Clinton:

Giuliani, citing former agents: "There's a revolution going on inside the FBI, and it's now at a boiling point."

Sav got me to do the I Side With test again. 97% Clinton, 96% Stein. I'm damn sure I don't side with Stein. Johnson was 47%, Trump was 22%.

Fortunately, he has astronomical negatives, and the only thing that will come out of this is a large number of farcical soundbites and a large number of enriched campaign flunkies.

16 months later and here we are. :(

My wife took it today and got:

Trump 57% :lol:
Johnson 52%
Clinton 22%

Her Trump rating was higher during the primaries (when she was like 93% Cruz).
