Oh good. Trump got Michael Moore to make a documentary about him. Glad I am not in NYC as I would be annoyed to see doofuses lining up to get into his free screening tomorrow.

Clinton is up 7 points in the RCP average.

In fact... I'm going to call it.  Trump is going to lose this race.  He might make it interesting in the last few days, but he has no path to 271 electoral college votes.

No the Taint is dead, Tim broke it by invoking it too much in this thread; that profligacy burnt the last bridge that Trump would have had to cross to get to the presidency.

QuoteThe government of Ecuador said late Tuesday that it had "temporarily" restricted the internet access of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, citing the group's decision to release documents "impacting on the U.S. election campaign."

"The Government of Ecuador respects the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other states. It does not interfere in external electoral processes, nor does it favor any particular candidate," the government said in the statement.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

that's pretty bad for assange if "restricted" means cut. probably half of languish could live in an apartment and never leave if they had internet. without internet...

:lol: So awesome.  Let's hear it for Ecuador and whatever the fuck they do down there.  How about that <insert Ecuadorian celebrity of prominence in Ecuador>, huh?

It's even more hilarious because Assange and Wikileaks have done fuck all to affect the elections :lol:

It seems like even the Ecuadorians are fed up with Assange's bullshit.

Also, he's a pedophile and a rapist.

Oooooh, I think there's going to be quite a few examples of suddenly crowded air space once she's elected.
